Remanufactured 6R80 Transmission

The 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission has been one of Ford’s most trusted powertrain designs—used in everything from daily-driven F-150s to high-performance Mustangs. It’s strong, adaptable, and efficient.
But after years of towing, stop-and-go driving, or high-mileage use, these units often develop internal leaks, solenoid failures, and converter problems that lead to inconsistent shifting or total failure.

When your customer’s truck is on the lift and downtime costs money, you don’t need another rebuild risk—you need a proven, ready-to-install solution. That’s exactly what ACE delivers with every remanufactured 6R80 transmission.

Common 6R80 Transmission Problems

Shops see these issues frequently on high-mileage or heavily used 6R80s:

  • Torque converter shudder or vibration at light throttle
  • Delayed or harsh 2–3 shift due to worn clutch pistons or seals
  • Pressure control solenoid D (PCS-D) failure, triggering codes like P0741 or P2700
  • Overheating under tow or heavy load, often from clogged cooler lines
  • Limp-mode engagement caused by valve-body cross-leaks

ACE’s rebuild process eliminates these problems at the source—ensuring smoother operation, stable pressure, and long-term reliability for your customers.

Built Beyond OE Specifications

ACE doesn’t just replace worn parts—we address every known 6R80 weak point:

  • Complete valve-body overhaul with precision reaming and updated bore sleeves to prevent cross-leak pressure loss.
  • New torque converter with improved clutch material and upgraded bearings for smoother lock-up under load.
  • New clutch packs, steels, seals, and bushings across all drums for consistent hydraulic balance.
  • Pump assembly machined and recalibrated to OE pressure specs for reliable line pressure and cooler flow.
  • Updated solenoids and EPC units tested to eliminate harsh 2–3 and 5–6 shifts.

Every unit is fully dyno tested under simulated load cycles before leaving our facility—so when it arrives at your shop, you can install it with total confidence.

What’s Included in Every ACE 6R80

Each ACE 6R80 transmission includes:

  • A fully remanufactured and dyno-tested unit
  • An upgraded torque converter designed for better heat dissipation
  • New friction elements, clutches, seals, bushings, and solenoids
  • Mobil 1 synthetic transmission fluid, shipped with the unit
  • Coverage under ACE’s comprehensive warranty (parts, labor, shipping, and fluid) — learn more

It’s everything your shop needs for a no-surprise install.

Shipping You Can Count On

When a vehicle is down, speed matters.
ACE maintains ready-to-ship inventory for popular Ford 6R80 variants—so most orders placed before 3 PM CST ship the same day. Units are securely crated, banded, and fluid-sealed to prevent damage during transit.

We partner with trusted carriers across the U.S. to ensure reliable delivery times, and our team tracks each shipment until it reaches your shop.

Core Return Policy (No Upfront Deposit)

With ACE, there’s no upfront core deposit to slow down your cash flow.
Here’s how it works:

  1. Your shop orders the reman 6R80—no deposit charged.
  2. ACE invoices the core on paper only.
  3. You return the rebuildable core within 120 days using our prepaid return labels.
  4. Once the core is received, the invoice is cleared—no charge.

It’s a system designed to keep your bays moving and your capital free for the next job.

Compatible Vehicles

The 6R80 appears in a wide range of Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including:

  • Ford F-150 (2009–2017, including EcoBoost models)
  • Ford Expedition / Lincoln Navigator (2009–2017)
  • Ford Mustang (2011–2017, 5.0L and V6 models)
  • Ford Ranger (international markets, 2011–2019)

If your customer’s truck or SUV uses a 5R55 or earlier 4-speed, upgrading to a 6R80 platform is not direct-fit—these builds are specific to OE configurations.

6R80 Transmission FAQs

Q: What’s the difference between the 6R80 and 10R80?
The 10R80 is a newer ten-speed design with different case, electronics, and converter—no direct interchange.

Q: Is the ACE 6R80 updated for converter shudder issues?
Yes. Every torque converter is rebuilt with new clutch friction and balanced for smooth lock-up under varying loads.

Q: Does the transmission include the TCM?
No—your shop should retain and reprogram the original TCM per Ford service procedures.

Q: Can ACE ship directly to my customer’s shop?
Yes. We offer direct-to-installer delivery and coordinate return shipping for cores.

Q: How soon can I expect delivery?
Most 6R80 orders ship same-day and arrive within 2–3 business days depending on your location.
