6R80 Pressure Control Solenoid 2011-20, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6R80. Ships fast from the USA.
Many owners start out shopping for a 6R80 pressure control solenoid because of harsh engagements, a flare on the 2-3, or a string of solenoid codes on an F-150, Expedition, Navigator or Mustang. This listing is the bigger repair: a remanufactured 6R80 valve body assembly with the full solenoid body installed, including the line pressure control solenoid, referenced to Ford AL3P-7Z490-BA. Each unit is disassembled, cleaned and bench tested for pressure, flow and electrical response before it ships. It is the right buy when the problem is worn bores or several drifting solenoids rather than one bad part.
The 6R80 runs seven solenoids on one solenoid body: clutch control solenoids A through E, a converter clutch solenoid, and the line pressure control solenoid that tells the main regulator how much pressure to build. All of them are fed by the solenoid pressure regulator valve. When that valve or its bore wears, feed pressure drops and every solenoid downstream looks weak, so a new pressure control solenoid bolted onto a tired casting often changes nothing. Replacing the castings, valves and solenoids together removes all of those variables in one job.
On 2011-2013 F-150s and 2012-2013 Expeditions and Navigators, codes like P0720, P0722, P0731 or P1500 point at the molded lead frame, which Ford covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles under program 19N01; check that before buying a valve body, and if it is the lead frame, our 6R80 lead frame kit is the part. Ford TSB 20-2060 also covers 2015-2017 F-150s that drop to neutral on a shift to reverse with no codes, which is fixed by reprogramming. Our valve body testing guide and pressure control solenoid symptoms guide show how to separate hydraulic faults from electrical ones.
The listing names the F-150, Expedition, Mustang and Navigator with the 6R80 and lists AL3P-7Z490-BA as the reference number. Two production changes matter. Sonnax documents a redesigned valve body for 2015-later units, with FL3P castings, a new separator plate and a different pressure regulator valve and sleeve, plus an extra hole on start-stop applications. Shift solenoid E also changed from about 10.5 ohms to about 18 ohms in November 2010, and the two are not interchangeable. Compare the castings, separator plate and part numbers on your unit with this one, or send year, model and VIN with the order. For a 2015-2017 truck without start-stop, the 2015-2017 non start-stop valve body is a closer match. All options are on the 6R80 parts page.
Pull the fill plug first, drop the pan (there is no drain plug), remove the filter, unplug the connector and lower the valve body. Torque the new valve body bolts evenly, in sequence, to the specification in your service information. Install a new filter with a fresh neck seal and pan gasket, such as our FT-188 filter and gasket kit, and refill with Mercon LV, setting the level hot. GEARS Magazine notes the computer must carry the strategy that matches the solenoid body ID; a mismatch gives harsh shifts no matter how good the hardware is, so have the solenoid body data loaded with a factory-level scan tool. After an adaptive reset, Ford warns shifts can feel firmer than normal for several days while the computer relearns.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. It is a complete remanufactured 6R80 valve body with the solenoid body installed, which includes the pressure control solenoid along with the shift and converter clutch solenoids.
The listing covers the 6R80 in the F-150, Expedition, Mustang and Navigator, referenced to AL3P-7Z490-BA. Because Ford changed the valve body for 2015-later units, compare castings and part numbers or send your VIN so we can confirm.
Plan on it. The computer has to match the solenoid body data, and a factory-level scan tool is recommended to load it and reset adaptives. Shifts can feel firm for several days afterward.
If the truck set lead frame related codes such as P0720, P0731 or P1500, yes. The lead frame is a separate part and our 6R80 lead frame kit covers it.
Mercon LV only, with a new filter, neck seal and pan gasket. Check the level hot at the fill plug.
