6R80 Valve Body 2011-2018, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6R80. Ships fast from the USA.
A 2011-2018 Ford F-150, Expedition, Mustang, Explorer, international Ranger or Lincoln Navigator running the 6R80 that shifts rough, slips between gears, or throws a pressure or shift-solenoid code is a strong candidate for a worn valve body rather than a bad computer. This is a remanufactured 6R80 valve body built to the later solenoid spec Ford adopted for this transmission, bench-checked before it ships.
Ford revised the 6R80 solenoid pack in November 2010, moving Shift Solenoid E from a 10.5-ohm tan-snout design to an 18-ohm design, and this listing is built to that later spec. Sonnax has also documented a separate casting and separator-plate change on valve bodies built in 2015 and later, with a measurable difference in the PR valve and sleeve dimension used during bore repairs. In other words, 2011-2018 is not one uniform part behind the scenes, and matching your casting markings or sending your VIN keeps you from installing a unit built for the wrong half of this range.
Hydraulic line pressure from the pump passes through the valve body's spool valves to apply each clutch pack and band in sequence, while the shift solenoids, EPC solenoid, and TCC solenoid mounted on the casting are what the PCM actually fires to time each shift and lock the torque converter. Wear in those bores or drift in a solenoid's bleed rate shows up first as inconsistent shift feel long before it becomes a hard failure.
Our 6R80 valve body testing guide covers reading solenoid resistance and line pressure on a scan tool before you commit to a valve body swap, which is worth doing first since a single bad solenoid is a cheaper repair than the full casting.
Built for 2011-2018 Ford and Lincoln vehicles running the 6R80 with the post-November-2010 solenoid pack, spanning both the 2011-2014 casting and the 2015-and-later casting update Sonnax has documented. Match your old unit's casting number and connector count against this one, or send your year, model and VIN so we confirm it before shipping. The full lineup of 6R80 parts by year is on the 6R80 parts page.
Drop the pan and replace the filter and gasket in the same job; an 6R80 overhaul kit covers both along with the fluid-side seals this transmission needs. Torque the valve body bolts in Ford's specified sequence rather than a simple criss-cross, refill with Mercon LV ATF, and run the adaptive shift relearn with a scan tool once it is buttoned up. If the pump is original and has logged real mileage, inspect it alongside the valve body, since a worn pump will mimic some of the same pressure complaints; our 6R80 pump failure guide covers how to tell the two apart.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. Ford changed Shift Solenoid E from a 10.5-ohm to an 18-ohm design in November 2010, and this listing is built to the later, 18-ohm spec used on 2011-2018 production.
Not exactly. Sonnax has documented a casting and separator-plate change on 2015-and-later 6R80 valve bodies, so this listing covers both halves of the 2011-2018 range but we confirm your specific casting against your VIN before it ships.
That is a documented pattern on 2015-2017 F-150s covered in Ford Technical Service Bulletin 20-2060, and it is consistent with a valve body or PCM strategy issue rather than a simple mechanical fault.
Yes, this remanufactured valve body ships with its shift, EPC and TCC solenoids bench-checked and installed.
Mercon LV ATF only, with a fresh filter and pan gasket installed at the same time so debris from the old unit does not reach the new solenoids.
No reflash is needed for a straight valve body swap. Run the adaptive shift relearn with a scan tool after the install.
