6R80 Planetary, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6R80. Ships fast from the USA.
When a Ford 6R80 comes apart with a chewed carrier, blued pinions or a sun gear with stripped splines, the job stops until the gearset is replaced. This remanufactured 6R80 planetary is for that moment: a rebuilt OEM gearset for the six-speed behind F-150, Expedition, Navigator and Mustang engines, with a 1-year warranty. The listing does not name a year range, so the most important part of this page is the fitment section below. Read it before you order.
Ford built the 6R80 under license from ZF's 6HP26, and it uses the Lepelletier layout. That means two gearsets do the work of three. Up front sits a simple input planetary whose carrier is anchored to the forward (A) clutch housing through the piston retainer. It turns the input into a reduced-speed path for the A and B clutches. Behind it is the Ravigneaux set, a shared carrier holding long and short pinions between two sun gears. Depending on which of the five clutches is applied, that rear set produces first through sixth and Reverse. Every gear passes through at least one of the two sets, so a failure here rarely stays hidden for long.
Make sure the problem is mechanical. The 6R80 has a long record of lead frame and solenoid faults that throw it into limp mode or harsh shifts with no hard-part damage at all, and Ford extended lead frame coverage to 10 years or 150,000 miles under program 19N01. Work through the electrical tests in our 6R80 F-150 shift problems guide. Expedition and Navigator owners can use the Expedition problems guide. Mechanical signs are noise that tracks road speed, metal in the pan, and a gear that is gone even in the solenoid failsafe.
The 6R80 gear train changed more than once, so check these points against your old parts:
Compare the photos with your removed part, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. Every 6R80 part we carry is on the 6R80 collection page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Check the listing photos against the part you removed. The front is a simple input planet anchored to the forward clutch retainer. The rear is the larger Ravigneaux carrier with long and short pinions. If you are not sure, send us your year and VIN and the part number from your old part.
No. Transmission Digest notes the retainer and planet are interchangeable only as matched sets, so a four-pinion planet needs the four-pinion retainer, 9L3Z-7H360-B.
Not directly. The 2011-later units have a one-way clutch, and their rear carrier has shorter lugs. The case and C/D support also changed, so match early to early and late to late.
A rebuild kit for the seals, gaskets and frictions you disturb, new thrust washers and bearings for the gear train, a filter, and enough Mercon LV to refill after a cooler flush.
Usually not. A 6R80 stuck in a single gear with codes is most often a lead frame or solenoid fault putting it in failsafe. The planetary is the suspect when you have speed-related noise and metal in the pan.
