About this product

For 2011 the 6R80 sat behind a new F-150 engine lineup, the 3.7L V6, 5.0L V8, 3.5L EcoBoost and 6.2L, and the Mustang V6 and GT automatics used the same six-speed. If your 2011 truck or car now hesitates before it takes Drive or Reverse, slips a little in every gear once it is warm, or carries a whine that tracks engine speed rather than road speed, a worn front pump belongs on the list of suspects. This listing is a remanufactured OEM 6R80 pump assembly for 2011, sold with a 1-year warranty, so you can replace the whole assembly instead of rebuilding the old one on the bench.

What the pump does in a 2011 6R80

The pump is driven by the torque converter hub and turns whenever the engine runs. It draws fluid through the filter and feeds the main regulator, which supplies the solenoid body, all five clutches, converter clutch apply, the cooler and lubrication. On the 6R80 it is a three-piece assembly: a cast-iron body carrying the gears, an aluminum cover, and an intermediate plate that holds the stator shaft. A 2011 pump belongs to the early design generation. It supports the converter hub on a caged bearing rather than the bushing Ford adopted later, and its inner gear is driven by lugs carried over from the ZF-derived design. Those details are why the year on this listing matters.

Symptoms of a worn 2011 6R80 pump

How to confirm the pump is the problem

Put a gauge on the line pressure tap and compare Park and Neutral against Drive and Reverse. Low pressure everywhere, including Park, points at the pump or main regulator. Normal pressure in Park that drops once a gear is selected points at a clutch circuit or the solenoid body. On these units, worn input and output shaft bushings further back in the case also leak off apply oil and set the same codes, and lead frame faults are common enough on the 6R80 to rule out first. Our 6R80 pump failure guide walks through the pressure test and the teardown inspection, and 6R80 F-150 shift problems covers the electrical causes.

Fitment for 2011

This pump is listed for the 2011 6R80. Ford services the early-design pump under BL3Z-7A103B for transmissions built through March 31, 2014, which covers a 2011 build, and the earlier 9L3Z-7A103A number it replaced. A pump from an April 2014 or later unit uses a different converter hub support and will not seat correctly on a 2011 converter, and a 6R60 or 6R75 pump will not fit because the stator support bore is different. Compare your old pump with the photos and send us your year and VIN if there is any doubt about your build. See every part for this transmission on our 6R80 parts page, or the 2012 6R80 pump if your vehicle is one year newer.

Install notes

The transmission has to come out and the converter off before the pump can be unbolted from the case. Index-mark the pump before disassembly if you are inspecting the old one, and clean the case bore. Check the converter hub closely: a grooved hub will destroy a fresh caged bearing and front seal. Fit a new front seal and new seal rings and O-ring, lubricated with transmission fluid, prime the pump, and torque the bolts to the Ford workshop manual value. Refill with Motorcraft MERCON LV and set the level hot. If the unit is out because of high mileage, a 6R80 master rebuild kit gives you the seals and clutches to do the rest of it at the same time, and a slow, inconsistent shift with good pressure often calls for a 6R80 pressure control solenoid instead.

6R80 Pump 2011: common questions

Is this 2011 6R80 pump new or rebuilt?

It is a remanufactured OEM assembly, listed with a 1-year warranty.

Will a 2015 or later 6R80 pump fit my 2011 F-150?

No. Ford changed the converter hub support from a caged bearing to a bushing for units built from April 1, 2014. A 2011 transmission needs the early-design pump to match its converter.

Can I use a 6R60 or 6R75 pump instead?

No. The 6R60 and 6R75 stator support uses a front bushing and a smaller bore, so it does not interchange with the 6R80.

What fluid does the 2011 6R80 use after the pump is replaced?

Motorcraft MERCON LV. Check the level hot with the engine running, following the Ford procedure for your vehicle.

Should I replace the torque converter with the pump?

Not always, but inspect the converter hub. Scoring on the hub will damage the new pump bearing and seal, and if the converter shows heat damage it should be replaced at the same time.
