6R80 Planetary 2011-2019, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6R80. Ships fast from the USA.
This remanufactured 6R80 planetary covers the late, one-way-clutch generation of Ford's six-speed, 2011 through 2019. That range reaches past the usual F-150 and Mustang searches into the 2015-2019 Transit van and the 2018-2019 F-150 with the 3.3L V6, both of which kept the 6R80 after most of Ford's lineup moved to the ten-speed. If your truck or van has a whine that tracks road speed, has dropped a gear, or showed glitter on the pan magnet at the last service, this rebuilt OEM gearset is priced for the shop or driveway builder who already has the case apart, and it carries a 1-year warranty.
The 6R80 is Ford's licensed version of the ZF 6HP26 and uses a Lepelletier gear train: a simple planetary at the front and a Ravigneaux set at the rear. The front set produces a reduced-speed path for the A and B clutches, and the rear set combines it with the direct input through the E clutch, held by the C and D clutches, to make six forward gears and Reverse.
The 2011 model year changed the rear of the transmission. When Ford launched the 3.5L EcoBoost, 3.7L, 5.0L and 6.2L in the F-150, it added a one-way clutch to the rear planetary to smooth the 1-2 and 2-1 shifts. GEARS Magazine reports that this meant a new case, a new C and D support and a new rear planetary, and that the late rear carrier has shorter lugs than the early one. On these units the D clutch only holds first gear until about 3 mph, then the one-way clutch takes over. Every transmission in this listing's year range is that later design.
Late 6R80 trucks have a long list of electrical and software complaints that feel like hard-part failure but are not. NHTSA recall 26V-237 covers 2015-2017 F-150 trucks whose lead frame and range sensor signal can degrade and cause an unexpected 6-2 downshift, fixed with a calibration and lead frame work. Ford TSB 20-2060 covers 2015-2017 F-150 trucks that can briefly go to neutral when shifted to Reverse with no codes, fixed by a PCM reprogram and an adaptive drive cycle. Neither needs a planetary. Work through our 6R80 F-150 shift problems guide and the 6R80 problems and fixes guide first. Mustang owners can use the Mustang shift problems guide. If the scan data is clean and the noise follows road speed, pull the pan and look at the magnet.
Listed for the 6R80 from 2011 to 2019. Ford application data compiled on Wikipedia puts the 6R80 in the 2011-2017 F-150 (the 2017 3.5L EcoBoost moved to the ten-speed), the 2018-2020 F-150 3.3L, the 2011-2017 Mustang, the 2015-2019 Transit, and the Expedition and Navigator until their switch to the 10R80. Ford built the gear train with running changes, so match the part to the one you remove: rear carrier lug height, the input planet pinion count (three or four, which must match the A clutch piston retainer), and the spline count on each shaft. Send your year and VIN if you want us to confirm before it ships.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Not as a complete set. The 2011 and later 6R80 added a one-way clutch, and the late rear carrier has shorter lugs than the 2009-2010 carrier. Early units need the early carrier.
The 2015-2019 Transit used the 6R80, and this listing covers 2011-2019 units. Compare the carrier and spline counts with the part you remove, or send us your year and VIN to check.
Probably not. Ford TSB 20-2060 covers that condition on 2015-2017 F-150 trucks with no codes and fixes it with a PCM reprogram and adaptive drive cycle. Gearset failure shows up as road-speed noise, lost gears and metal in the pan.
Replace the thrust bearings, thrust washers and bushings on the gear train, plus the seals, gaskets and filter. Inspect the one-way clutch and its race on the rear set while it is apart.
Mercon LV automatic transmission fluid, with no supplemental additives. Flush the cooler before refilling.
Yes. Clear the adaptive tables and complete a relearn drive so the controller matches shift timing to the rebuilt unit.
