Ford guys - 6R80 Transmission related
Posted on 1/6/23 at 1:45 pm

Anyone familiar with the 6R80 transmission and the molded lead frame replacement? Apparently, there is a recall, but my truck has +175,000 miles on it, so it is not covered.
My truck has recently started having some downshifting issues. Based on my limited research, all signs point toward the molded lead frame being the issue. Not sure this is something I am able to DIY. Anyone done this before? Cost of repair?

I am currently having my 6R80 rebuilt.
185,000 miles
2015 F150
The torque converter is the issue on these trannys, I am told.
The first guy quoted me $6,200. I found the other guy that said no more than $3,500, worst case scenario. He got my truck this morning. I am hoping to know more by the end of the day Monday.

Good luck getting the part. My truck has been sitting on a Ford dealership since 12/14/22 waiting on it. Transmission started locking into 5th gear with two weeks left on the ten year extended warranty for that part. It is on national back order.
Cost is more than $3000.00

Yes, 2011 5.0 with 190K miles. Replaced the lead frame myself early last year only for the issue to return 8 months later. Job was pretty easy if you want to give it a try, FordTechMakuloco has a perfect walkthrough video on it.
Put in a new trans, $5500 installed & smooth sailing now. I probably could have price shopped more but I was in a bind with family going ons at the time and needed the truck back asap. 5 year 300k warranty on parts and labor.
Not buying a new or even decent used truck at these prices, I’ll just ride this one til it dies.

Just curious but why would miles determine a recall and not a part that was used.

I just bought a Ford Lightning. I have no transmission.
