6R80 Shift Kit 2011-2015, used and ready to install. Fits the 6R80. Ships fast from the USA.
This listing carries the name shift kit, but the photo shows something bigger: a used OEM 6R80 valve body, upper and lower castings bolted together with the solenoid bank in place, referenced to the F-150 and listed for 2011 through 2015. If your 2011-2015 F-150 with the 3.5L EcoBoost, 3.7L, 5.0L or 6.2L, or an Expedition or Mustang of the same era, now bumps hard into 2nd, slides on the 1-2, flares between gears or sets solenoid codes, this is the assembly that controls every one of those shifts.
When Ford launched the new engine lineup for the 2011 F-150, the 6R80 got its biggest update: a one-way clutch in the rear planetary to smooth the 1-2 and 2-1 shifts that drew complaints on earlier trucks. GEARS Magazine notes that the change reached the valve body, the molded lead frame and the wiring as well as the case and planetary. The control strategy changed with it. On 2011-later units the D clutch applies only until roughly 3 mph and then releases, with the normally high D/E solenoid modulating that release so the one-way clutch carries the load. GEARS also reports that the E solenoid resistance changed on November 4, 2010, from roughly 10.5 ohms to about 18. A 2009-2010 body built around the old strategy is the wrong part for these trucks.
The PCM decides when to shift. The valve body decides how the shift feels. Each clutch has a regulator valve fed by a variable bleed solenoid, and every upshift is a timed handoff between the clutch releasing and the clutch applying. Worn bores leak that pressure away, and solenoids that drift from their original banding throw the timing off, which is why a high-mileage 6R80 can shift badly on clean fluid.
Rule out the known electrical faults before buying hydraulics. Ford recall 16S19 (NHTSA 16V-248) addressed 2011-2012 F-150s whose intermittent output speed sensor signal could force a sudden downshift into 1st, and the remedy was PCM software. Ford's 19N01 program extended lead frame coverage on certain 2012-2013 Expedition and Navigator trucks for codes including P0720, P0722, P0731 and P1500. Neither problem is cured by a valve body. Check your VIN for open campaigns, set the Mercon LV level hot, and pull the codes. Our 6R80 shift solenoid symptoms guide covers testing the solenoids, and the F-150 shift problems guide sorts electrical faults from worn hardware.
Listed for 2011-2015 6R80 transmissions with an F-150 reference. Be careful with 2015: Sonnax documents a late valve body with FL3P castings, a new separator plate and a different pressure regulator valve and sleeve, so a 2015 truck may need that later design instead. Compare the casting numbers on your old body with this one before ordering, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm which side of the change you are on. The full lineup, including the 2011-2018 6R80 valve body, is in the 6R80 parts collection.
Have at least 8 quarts of Mercon LV ready, since a large share of the fluid drains when the main control is pulled. Fit a new filter and pan gasket from the 6R60/6R75/6R80 filter kit, replace the case connector seal, and torque the bolts in sequence. Program the solenoid strategy codes for this assembly into the PCM, then drive the relearn through all gears. If the old unit slipped long enough to glaze the clutches, pair this with the 6R80 master rebuild kit.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. Despite the title, it is a used OEM 6R80 valve body with the solenoids installed, as shown in the photo. It replaces your whole valve body rather than modifying it.
No. The 2011 update added a one-way clutch and changed the valve body, lead frame and D clutch strategy, so 2009-2010 trucks need the earlier body.
Possibly not. Ford introduced the FL3P late valve body for 2015, with a different separator plate and pressure regulator valve. Compare casting numbers or send us your VIN before ordering.
Open recalls, the hot fluid level and stored codes. Output speed sensor and lead frame faults on these years were handled with software or lead frame repairs, not valve bodies.
Yes. Load the solenoid strategy codes for this valve body into the PCM with a scan tool, then run the adaptive relearn. Expect firm shifts for a few drives while it learns.
