Remanufactured 10R80 Transmission

The Ford 10R80 ten-speed automatic transmission represents a big leap in performance and efficiency—used in modern F-150s, Mustangs, and Expeditions.
But early production runs revealed design weaknesses that left many shops dealing with shifting flare, valve-body wear, and torque-converter lock-up issues.

ACE’s remanufactured 10R80 eliminates those failure points and delivers a dependable, ready-to-install solution for your customers. Each build is tested, calibrated, and shipped with everything your shop needs to get the vehicle back on the road fast.

No waiting. No guesswork. Just proven results.

Built to Outlast Factory Designs

While the OE 10R80 was engineered for smooth shifting, heat, debris, and software timing often caused premature wear.
ACE addresses every major point of failure with precision upgrades and stronger internal components.

Key improvements include:

  • Complete valve-body reengineering with corrected bore sizes to prevent hydraulic cross-leaks.
  • Upgraded torque converter featuring new friction clutch material and precision balancing.
  • Reinforced pump assembly with remachined surfaces for stable line pressure.
  • All-new solenoid set, pre-tested for accurate pressure modulation.
  • Enhanced clutch packs and steels using high-energy friction material for extended service life.
  • Dyno testing under simulated road load—verifying shift timing, converter lock-up, and pressure stability.

Every ACE 10R80 is essentially a zero-mile transmission—rebuilt from the ground up with reliability as the top priority.

Common 10R80 Transmission Issues

You’ve probably seen these in the field:

  • Harsh or delayed shifting, especially 1–3 or 5–6 transitions
  • “Shudder” under light throttle, caused by torque-converter clutch slip
  • Overheating or fluid foaming during heavy towing
  • Erratic pressure codes such as P0751, P0756, or P2700
  • Limp-mode activation after prolonged temperature spikes

Each of these failure modes is corrected in ACE’s remanufacturing process with upgraded materials, updated calibration specs, and full dyno validation.

What’s Included with Every ACE 10R80

Every unit shipped from ACE includes:

  • Completely remanufactured transmission, built to or beyond OEM standards
  • Updated torque converter designed for smoother lock-up under load
  • New friction plates, seals, bushings, and solenoids
  • Mobil 1 synthetic transmission fluid included with the shipment
  • Nationwide warranty coverage for 3 years, unlimited mileage (see full details)

Each build arrives installation-ready—no additional assembly or adjustments required.

Shipping & Delivery

ACE understands that downtime costs money.
Most 10R80 builds are stocked and ready to ship same-day when ordered before 3 PM CST. Each unit is securely crated and banded to ensure it arrives on time and intact.

Tracking information is provided immediately after dispatch so your shop can plan installation timing confidently.

Core Return Policy — No Upfront Deposit

Like all ACE products, the 10R80 follows our “Due On Receipt” core policy:

  1. No deposit charged at checkout—core is invoiced on paper only.
  2. You have 120 days to return the rebuildable core.
  3. Prepaid return labels are included in every shipment.
  4. Once the core is received, the paper invoice is cleared.

This approach keeps your shop’s cash free for parts, labor, and payroll—no money tied up in deposits.

Warranty Coverage You Can Count On

Your customers depend on you to stand behind the work.
That’s why every ACE 10R80 is backed by our all-inclusive warranty—covering:

  • Parts and labor
  • Shipping both ways for approved claims
  • Mobil 1 fluid with every reman unit

If a component fails under normal use, we handle it quickly—so your shop can focus on installs, not warranty paperwork. Learn more at acetransmissionreman.com/warranty.

Installation & Programming Notes

  • Relearn / Adaptive Strategy: Ford IDS or an equivalent scan tool should be used to reset and relearn shift adaptives after install.
  • Cooler Flush: Always flush cooler lines and replace filters before installation.
  • TCM Retention: ACE does not include pre-programmed TCMs—reuse and reflash the original to match the VIN.
  • Fluid Fill: Use only Mobil 1 LV ATF HP or Ford-approved equivalent.

Following these steps ensures smooth operation and protects your warranty coverage.

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.
