Remanufactured 10R80 Transmission

Built to Solve the 10R80’s Known Weak Points — and Ready When You Need It

The Ford 10R80 is one of the most advanced and most in-demand automatic transmissions on the road today. It’s also one of the hardest units to source when a failure occurs — especially when shops are trying to avoid comebacks tied to known design issues.

ACE now offers a fully remanufactured 10R80 transmission, built with targeted internal updates and validated through dyno testing to ensure consistent performance from day one. This isn’t a patched-together rebuild. It’s a complete reman solution designed for professional installers who need reliability, availability, and support.

Common 10R80 Transmission Problems

The 10R80 delivers excellent performance when new, but certain failure patterns have become increasingly common as mileage accumulates or vehicles are subjected to heavier loads.

We routinely see issues such as:

  • Loss of gears caused by CDF drum failure
  • Harsh or inconsistent shifts due to pressure instability
  • Converter clutch problems and shudder
  • Solenoid-related shift complaints
  • Repeat failures after partial repairs or software-only fixes

These problems are mechanical in nature, not just calibration issues. That’s why ACE focuses on correcting root causes during the remanufacturing process — not masking symptoms.

Built With Critical 10R80 Updates

ACE remanufactures the 10R80 with specific updates intended to address known design limitations and durability concerns.

Key updates include:

  • Updated CDF Drum
    Corrects one of the most common failure points associated with clutch loss and gear drop-out.
  • All clutch and internal clearances meet or exceed OEM specifications
    Ensures proper engagement, heat control, and long-term durability under real-world driving conditions.
  • Updated anodized center support
    Improves wear resistance and structural stability, especially under load.
  • Fully remanufactured torque converter
    Built with updated components to improve lock-up performance and reduce shudder risk.
  • Fully remanufactured valve body with all applicable updates
    Addresses pressure-related shift issues and improves overall shift consistency.
  • Updated solenoid supports
    Enhances reliability of electronic shift control and reduces repeat solenoid-related concerns.
  • Dyno tested under load
    Every unit is tested to verify line pressure, shift quality, and converter operation before shipment.

This process ensures the transmission performs correctly out of the crate — not after multiple comebacks.

10R80 Transmission FAQs

Q: What’s the main difference between the 10R80 and 6R80?
The 10R80 is a newer 10-speed design with different case and electronics—no interchangeability between the two.

Q: Does ACE pre-fill the transmission?
Fluid ships with the unit but is not filled to avoid spillage during transit. Use all supplied Mobil 1 fluid during installation.

Q: Do these come with a new mechatronic assembly?
Yes. Every ACE 10R80 includes remanufactured solenoid bodies and mechatronic components tested to OE spec.

Q: Is programming required after install?
Yes. Ford’s adaptive learning strategy requires a TCM relearn or reflash to ensure proper shift timing.

Q: How quickly can ACE ship a 10R80?
Most orders placed before 3 PM CST ship the same day, arriving in 2–3 business days depending on location.
