6R80 Valve Body 2009-2010, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6R80. Ships fast from the USA.
The 6R80 debuted in the 2009 F-150 and Expedition, and that early 2009-2010 production run is now old enough that valve body wear is a common cause of harsh shifts, slipping, or a torque converter shudder on these trucks. This OEM valve body is remanufactured and bench-ready, built to the 2009-2010 casting and solenoid calibration, and backed by a 1-year warranty.
Inside the 6R80, the valve body is the part that turns pump pressure and computer commands into an actual gear change. Hydraulic pressure travels through the casting's bores and spool valves to apply each clutch pack and band, while the shift solenoids and pressure control solenoid bolted to the same casting are what the PCM switches to time every shift and manage how firmly the torque converter clutch locks up. One of those solenoids, Shift Solenoid E, is the 6R80's only on/off solenoid, and Ford changed its design partway through this early production run: units built before November 4, 2010 use a 10.5 ohm design with a tan snout connector, while units built from November 3, 2010 onward use an 18 ohm design. A 2009-2010 replacement has to match the correct side of that cutover.
Our 6R80 valve body testing guide covers how to read solenoid behavior on a scan tool and separate true valve body wear from other early 6R80 complaints.
Pull codes and note whether the complaint is a hard slip, a shudder only during converter lockup, or an odd engagement from a stop. A hard slip, or a stored solenoid code that keeps returning after a solenoid has already been replaced once, points to bore wear inside the casting rather than the solenoid itself; the 6R80 common problems guide walks through separating that from other issues on this early run.
This unit is built for the 2009-2010 6R80 as used in F-150 and Expedition. Because Shift Solenoid E's resistance design changed partway through the 2010 model year, match your old unit's connector and casting, or send your build date and VIN before ordering, so the replacement lines up with the correct side of that change. Every other 6R80 valve body revision we carry is grouped on the 6R80 parts page.
Change the fluid and filter at the same time so debris from the old unit does not circulate through the new solenoids, and refill with Mercon LV ATF. Fit a new pan with a drain plug and gasket while it's apart, torque the valve body bolts in the sequence Ford specifies, and run the adaptive shift relearn with a scan tool once it's back together. If the transmission has been running hot or the converter has been shuddering for a while, add a transmission oil cooler to protect the new unit going forward.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes, it ships remanufactured with the solenoids installed and bench-checked, built to the correct side of the Shift Solenoid E design change for your build date.
It is the 6R80's only on/off solenoid, and Ford changed its resistance design partway through the 2010 model year. Matching the correct version keeps the PCM's calibration correct for your truck.
In most cases yes, since shudder on an early 6R80 usually traces to TCC apply pressure control inside the valve body. If the converter has been shuddering a long time already, it may need attention too.
A 1-year warranty. It is OEM sourced and remanufactured, not a used take-off.
No reflash is required for a straight valve body swap. Run the adaptive shift relearn with a scan tool, or let it relearn over the first several drives.
Fluid and filter at minimum, plus a pan with a drain plug and gasket. Adding an oil cooler helps if the transmission has been running hot.
