TF-80SC Master Rebuild Kit, new and ready to install. Fits the TF-80SC. Ships fast from the USA.
If your Volvo, Saab, Opel, Peugeot, Citroen or Land Rover with the Aisin six-speed front-drive automatic is slipping, flaring between gears or going into a fault mode, and the fluid that comes out of the pan is dark and full of clutch material, you are past the point of a fluid service. This is a complete master rebuild kit for the Aisin TF-80SC, the same box GM and Saab call the AF40 and Volvo calls the AM6. The package is built from an overhaul kit, a friction kit and a steel plate kit (listed under package number T19700A), so every clutch pack is renewed and the whole unit is resealed in one teardown.
The TF-80SC is a six-speed transaxle that gets its ratios from a front simple planetary set and a rear Ravigneaux set, with five friction elements doing the shifting. Rebuilder catalogs for this family name them by the gears they hold: the C1 clutch (1st through 4th), the C2 clutch (4th, 5th and 6th), the C3 clutch (3rd, 5th and reverse), the B1 2-6 brake band and the B2 low and reverse brake, backed by a low and reverse sprag. Each shift is one element releasing while another applies under solenoid control, so a worn pack on any one of them shows up as a flare, a bind-up or a ratio code on specific shifts. The frictions and steels in this kit replace the worn plates in those packs, and the gaskets, lip seals, metal-clad seals and O-rings restore the pressure that the valve body needs to apply them cleanly.
Valve body wear is a well documented problem in this transmission, and a worn bore can make a healthy clutch pack look like it is slipping. Before committing to a teardown, read the codes, check fluid level and condition, and watch commanded gear against actual ratio with a scan tool. Our transmission slipping diagnosis guide walks through separating a mechanical slip from a pressure problem, and gear ratio codes and P0730 diagnosis explains what the ratio codes actually measure. If the pan shows heavy friction debris, the overhaul is the right call and the valve body should be cleaned or replaced at the same time.
This kit is for the TF-80SC (AF40, AM6) used in Volvo, Saab, Opel, Peugeot, Citroen, Alfa Romeo and Land Rover models. It is not the same parts list as the TF-81SC (AF21, AW6A-EL) in the Ford Fusion, Milan, MKZ and Mazda applications: catalogs list separate overhaul kits, valve body gasket sets and axle seals for the two, and even the C3 drum to front planet thrust washer differs. If your unit is a Ford or Mazda version, use the TF-81SC master rebuild kit instead. Volvo AWD units also have a transfer case section that is serviced separately. Read the tag on the case before ordering, and if you are unsure send us your year and VIN. Everything else we carry for this family is on the Aisin transmission parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. Those vehicles use the TF-81SC (AF21 / AW6A-EL). The TF-80SC kit is for the Volvo, Saab, Opel, Peugeot, Citroen and Land Rover versions. Catalogs list separate overhaul kits and gasket sets for the two, so order the TF-81SC kit for a Ford or Mazda.
The listing describes a full set made of an overhaul kit, a friction kit and a steel plate kit. The photo shows the clutch frictions and steels, valve body and case gaskets, metal-clad seals, lip seals and O-rings. Drums, the pump, bushings, the filter and the valve body are not included.
In most cases, yes. Valve body bore wear is one of the most common faults in this transmission, and it causes harsh or slipping shifts on its own. Clean, inspect and repair it or fit a replacement during the overhaul.
Aisin units of this family use JWS 3309 type fluid. Some makes publish their own fluid part number, so check your owner's manual or service data and fill to the specification for your vehicle.
Yes. The control module adapts shift pressure to worn parts. After new clutches go in, clear the adaptives with a scan tool and drive the relearn procedure for your make so the shifts are firm and not harsh.
