About this product

A 6R80 that sits for a beat before it grabs Reverse, slips a little in every gear once it warms up, or growls from the front of the transmission whether it is parked or moving is usually short on pressure, and the front pump is where that pressure starts. This is a remanufactured 6R80 pump assembly for the Ford six-speed used in the F-150, Expedition, Mustang and Lincoln Navigator, so you can replace a worn pump with a rebuilt one instead of hunting for a bare body and gears.

What the front pump does in a 6R80

The 6R80 pump sits right behind the torque converter and is spun by the converter hub at engine speed. Its gears pull fluid up through the filter and push it to the pressure regulator, and from there it feeds the valve body, the five clutch packs, the converter clutch, lubrication and the cooler. Ford built it in three layers: a cast-iron body that holds the gears, an aluminum cover, and an intermediate plate carrying the stator shaft. The converter hub is supported inside the pump, so a worn hub support lets the gears run off-center and lose volume. Everything else in the transmission can be perfect and still slip if the pump cannot keep up.

Signs the pump is worn

Confirm the pump before you replace it

Two things fool people on this transmission. First, the external input and output shaft bushings wear early and leak off apply pressure, producing the same codes a weak pump would. Second, a converter-area whine on some 2012-2013 3.7L builds was fixed by Ford with a new pump seal and converter, not a pump. Run a line pressure test in Park, Neutral, Drive and Reverse: low everywhere suggests the pump. Our 6R80 pump failure guide explains how to read the result, and 6R80 common problems and fixes covers the lead frame faults that should be cleared first.

Fitment and matching your build

This pump is listed for the Ford 6R80 without a specific year, and that means you need to match it. The 6R80 pump has carried three service numbers: the original 9L3Z-7A103A, then BL3Z-7A103B for transmissions built through March 31, 2014, and FL3Z-7A103A for April 1, 2014 and later. The early design supports the converter hub on a caged bearing; the late design uses a bushing in the pump body. Compare the hub support on your old pump against the photos, check your build date, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. If you already know your year, the dated versions such as the 6R80 pump for 2014 may be the quicker match. A 6R60 or 6R75 pump will not swap in; the stator support bore is different. Browse every 6R80 part on the 6R80 parts page.

Installation tips

Pull the transmission, remove the converter, and unbolt the pump from the case. Clean the case bore and check the converter hub for wear or grooving, since a damaged hub will chew up the new support. Use a new front seal, new stator support seal rings and a new outer O-ring, lubricated with fluid; do not reuse the old ones. Fill the pump cavity with fluid before installation, align it carefully, and torque the bolts to Ford specification. Refill with Motorcraft MERCON LV and check the level hot. If the truck tows, an auxiliary 6R80 transmission cooler helps the new pump and fluid live longer, and a TransGo SK6R80-G2 shift kit can firm up apply pressure while the unit is apart.

6R80 Pump: common questions

Is this a new or remanufactured 6R80 pump?

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

How do I know if I need the early or late 6R80 pump?

Ford split the pump at the April 1, 2014 build date. Earlier units support the converter hub on a caged bearing, later units use a pump-body bushing. Check the door label build date or send us your VIN.

Can a bad pump cause codes on a 6R80?

Yes. Low pump output shows up as gear ratio and pressure control codes across several gears. Worn input and output shaft bushings can cause the same codes, so test pressure before buying.

Do I need to replace the torque converter with the pump?

Not automatically, but inspect the converter hub closely. A scored hub will damage the new pump support, and some whine complaints were solved with a converter rather than a pump.

What else should I replace while the pump is out?

The front seal, stator support seal rings and pump O-ring every time, plus a filter and pan gasket. If the fluid shows heat damage, consider a cooler.
