6R80 Valve Body 2018, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6R80. Ships fast from the USA.
A 2018 Ford truck or SUV built around the 6R80 that shifts harsh, hangs between gears, or throws a torque converter clutch or pressure-control code is usually pointing at the valve body before anything deeper in the transmission is wrong. This is a remanufactured 6R80 valve body built for 2018 applications, bench-verified before it ships, so you install one matched assembly instead of trying to source and align the solenoids, lead frame, and separator plate separately.
The 6R80 is Ford's six-speed, rear-wheel-drive electronic automatic. The valve body is its hydraulic brain: it routes line pressure through precision-machined bores and spool valves to apply each clutch and band, and because the 6R80 is electronically controlled, it also carries the shift and pressure-control solenoids the PCM uses to time every shift and manage torque converter lockup. By the 2018 model year Ford had already carried out the casting and separator-plate update documented by Sonnax for '15-later units, so a 2018 valve body is built to that later layout rather than the earlier design used through 2014.
Our 6R80 valve body problems and testing guide walks through which symptom maps to which internal circuit, and the pressure control solenoid guide covers the EPC-specific fault codes separately.
Pull codes first. A stored pressure-control or shift-solenoid fault narrows the problem to the valve body itself, while a generic slip code with no solenoid fault can mean the clutch packs are already worn, and a valve body alone will not fix that. Check the fluid condition too: dark or burnt fluid combined with a transmission that slips under load usually means the clutches need attention, not just the valve body. Our 6R80 common problems guide covers the transmission's full list of failure points so you are replacing the right part instead of guessing.
This valve body is built for the 2018 6R80. Ford revised the valve body casting and connector layout more than once over the 6R80's production run, and the 2015-later layout is not interchangeable with earlier years without matching the casting and connector count. Because the 6R80 was installed across several Ford trucks and SUVs, match your old unit's casting number and connector layout against this one before you order, or send us your exact vehicle and VIN and we will confirm fitment before it ships. Every 6R80 valve body we carry by year is listed on the 6R80 parts page.
Drop the pan and change the fluid and filter at the same time so debris from the old unit does not circulate through the new one. Use Mercon LV ATF, torque the valve body bolts in the sequence Ford specifies, and reconnect the internal harness carefully, since the lead frame and connector plate on 2015-later units are a separate wear point from the valve body itself. Because this is an electronically controlled transmission, run the adaptive relearn after installation instead of driving on the old shift adapts. If your lead frame or conductor plate is original and showing age, pair this valve body with a conductor plate and connector seal kit, and a shift kit addresses the transmission's other common wear point if your bands and clutches are also due for attention.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
This is the valve body assembly for the 2018 6R80. Some of our 6R80 valve body listings are sold with solenoids and some are the valve body alone; check the sibling listings on the 6R80 parts page if you want them bundled.
The 6R80 was used across multiple Ford trucks and SUVs, so match your old unit's casting number and connector layout against this one, or send your exact vehicle and VIN and we will confirm before it ships.
Ford updated the casting and separator plate starting with the 2015 model year. This 2018 unit is built to that later layout, which is why earlier 6R80 valve bodies are not a direct swap.
An intermittent issue with no stored code can still point to the valve body on this transmission family. Pull a full code history first and check fluid condition before ordering.
No reflash is needed. The PCM relearns shift adapts over the first several drives after installation, or a scan tool can clear the adapts sooner.
