Man, I can't tell you how long I've been looking for this exact information on my 6R80! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience(s) with these. You're a time- and money-saver!

I just bought a 2014 F150 Ecoboost 4x4. MAN, I appreciate you and your videos. They have saved me time, money and headache!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Easily one of the best mechanic channels. Just bought a 2014 Raptor with 75k with no trans service ever. Filter and Merc LV!

Man you are a life savior for all us Ford owners out there, I hope you out live me and keep making all these videos. God bless you always. Thanks.

A lot of great info man. Good to know for my 2013 f150 I'll be doing the drain & fill just like you mentioned on the transmission. Thanks.

I bought a 2012 F150 with 81,000 miles on it a couple of weeks ago. I've been watching your videos so I can learn about it, and I'm glad that the transmission seems to be a decent unit. This video and the fluid changed video you posted make it look like the transmission is fairly easy to service and repair, also.

Very nice and informative video! I took my 2009 F150 SCREW to a local shop for something else but asked for a tranny fluid change while there. Dude told me his mechanic said it was a 3 hour job and they didn't want to do it! I told him it wasn't, just drop the pan, clean, and put back on. I actually argued with the service rep for awhile then told them forget it. I think they didn't have a coolant flush machine or something. Very odd at me arguing for someone to take my money. Oh well, I have a filter and will do it myself this weekend. Thanks again!

I sure wish you would do a video or address the groaning or growling issue that so many of us are having coming from the transmission.If you have time Im sure so many people would be greatful for that.As always though your videos rock.Thanks for all of the info you continue to provide for us.

Thank you for addressing the lifetime fill crap. I got into with a service manager about this. He had no clue

I did not know the metal particles would migrate to the solenoid connection, but it makes good sense. Thank You

Thank you for all of your videos...very excellent technical information. I had my 2011 F150 Ecoboost transmission serviced at the dealer a few months ago at about 32,000 miles, and on the bill, I noticed that there was a charge for only 4 quarts of fluid. I asked them why only 4 quarts, and they said that they cannot get the rest of it out! Right away I knew something was wrong, and now I know that they were apparently either not knowledgeable about the 6R80, or were just too lazy to do the whole procedure, and I know they did not clean the doughnut, or change the filter by your videos. Now I have to find a shop that will do it right. In the past I did all of this work myself...even had a drain plug installed in my last truck to make it easier to empty the transmission pan...and that worked GREAT! But it is getting less desirable at 70 years old to crawl underneath and do those things. Thanks again for your videos...top notch. (I really liked the one on the "Catch Can" as well.

I wish I would have known about that trans flush issue 3 weeks ago. My complete engine long block assembly was replaced under warranty for bottom end noise and I asked them to do a trans service while it was there. They charged me $205 for the trans flush and i probably have a really clean trans oil cooler for $205.00

thank you for the tips. I just replaced my uncle's 6r60 valve body filter and fluid on his 07 explorer and they made it extremely easy. BUT... after i got done and filled it all up took it on a test drive and everything seemed fine at first but once i hit the highway the truck temp shot up within seconds. i stopped immediately an blasted heat to try and bring it down just to get of the highway since i was sitting at the top of the ramp. But the temp continued to climb in spastic increments. it would jump up about 1/16 to 1/8 inch then fall the same amount or more then after it climbed 3-4 times like this i shut it completely off and just turned key to acc to monitor temp with heat on still. same thing then about 4-5 mins later the temp just fell back to normal temp. i started the truck and headed off the highway all was well till about half block down off the ramp and the cycle started all over. pulling in to the gas station at a crawl temp started to fall rapidly. let it idle and monitored it. temp would go all over, it would climb then stop and stay there then sometimes climb more or start to fall. Coolant checked ( balance good, and full). felt trans lines one hot one cold. All seem right but gauge is acting funny. limp it home check it all is showing fine. Did some research for thing leading to thermal bypass could be bad. What is your thoughts on it if you don't mind me asking. P.S. i am a fleet tech for a small municipal township and have IDS. Have not had time to run it on the truck except for when i programed the pcm after installing new valve body. thank you for any help you may be able to provide.

Just swapped valve body and lead frame kit. Nice and smooth

FordTechMakuloco, I've got a 2010 Explorer LTD with the 6R80. I bought it from a used car dealer with a little over 180,000km (111,000-miles) on it and have no clue if the transmission has been serviced in the past. The trans seems to mostly shift fine, but there seems to be an issue with what feels like early converter lock up during light throttle 1-2 shifts. When under light-moderate, moderate or WOT throttle, the trans seems to act and shift normally. Under light acceleration however (the kind you'd used when trying to pussy foot around town, to save fuel) it has a tenancy to lock up the 1-2 gears almost right out of idle, creating load that seems to "bog" the engine. I can eliminate this altogether by accelerating more briskly off the line, or I can address the already occurring condition by adding a dab more throttle, but both results in lunge, or a downshift back to first, then a more pronounced lunge forward....effectively negating any of the "fuel mileage" saving I would have otherwise gotten when driving it easy. I'm unsure if this is a characteristic of the 6R80 models, where ford added a 1-way clutch to the read planetary assembly to smooth the 1-2 and 2-1 shifts (from what I understand, the 6R60's didn't do this), or if it's simply a calibration issue...or perhaps an issues created by running high mileage fluid? I plan on dropping the pan and doing fluid and filter in conjunction with my next oil change, but wanted to ensure this is a problem that could be cured with fresh fluid, or perhaps a PCM calibration...or are there any mechanical parts I should be looking at while I've got the pan off? Or is this simply how Ford has this transmission set up, to maximise mileage? Have you, or anyone reading this come across this issue at all?

Amazing and VERY informative video. One question I've have is...on a 2016 F150's 6R80 (6speed, 4wd, etc) what purpose does it serve the tranny filters with an additional small niple? What's the extra small niple for? I've seen people using either filters, with and without the extra niple, on trannys that have the two holes in the valve body area. I'll greatly appreciate you shared knowledge.

Another fantastic video Brian. Keep them coming!

Your videos are AWESOME. Thanks so much for making them. Recently my 2012 Navigator, which has the 6r80 trans in it started misbehaving. At first it was just very minor shift issue .. slightly hard shifting .. shift points feeling like they were just a smidge off (especially 2>3). But recently when I started the vehicle, the speedometer didn't work and the on-dash display shows dashes for most items. The tach still worked. An ignition cycle cleared everything up for a short period of time, but it recurred several times. Eventually it threw a P0720 (output speed sensor circuit malfunction). So I am thinking I need to start with replacing the moulded lead frame. I've never gotten tangled up with a transmission, but am generally comfortable with working on my car. Is this something you slightly better than average DIY'er can do?

Thanks for the share- I have a problem on mine where the gears between 3-4-5 juddering when it shift feels like slipping. The problem started when it was found that coolant was mixed with the oil.

I only wish I has seen this sooner. I have 2011 F150 EcoBoost 3.5 and after the latest PCM reflash recall, a slight hard downshift from 4th to 3rd became hard shifts in every other gear. Took it back to the dealer and the problem got worse. They told me the transmission was probably too deteriorated by that time 🤬. I had asked them to change the fluid at 60k and they told me it didnt need it. I'm awaiting a remanufactured, updated trans from Street Smart as we speak.

Once again you’ve provide the public with great information!!! Thank you!!!

these transmisions also showed up in the mustangs as an optional trans. they have a slightly different filter and pan

FordTechMakuloco, Your videos are great and a wealth of knowledge. I have a 2012 F-150 with 216,000 miles. I've had fluid and filter changed 3 times. It's developed a very hard downshift from 5th to 4th. Everything else is great. I found out the shop that did the fluid changes didn't use Motorcraft LV. I did the last fluid/filter service using LV. Magnet in pan was clean. Truck still has downshift so bad feels like getting rear-ended. I took to a shop and after driving it they said it needs a new valve body just like you said in the video. It sounds like that may not be the case from your video. Is there another route I can take? Thanks, Love the videos

Love these vids! My truck is hesitant in the mornings/when cold. If I stay on it it is fine but once I let off throttle and re apply throttle it sounds like it clunks back into gear. Would this be the part you talked about cracking underneath the valve body?

I see that a recall for the 6R80 lead frame on the 2011 and 2012 is on it's way for the F150's, but my 2012 Fx4 does something a little different than jumping to 1st or 2nd gear. ( I can reproduce this also...) If I'm basically "coasting" on a mild decline, and don't touch the throttle, the 6R80 will go out of gear ( neutral ?) while all the gauges indicate something different. At that point the engine is free wheeling and not transferring any power to the transmission. I can sometimes get it to correct itself by pushing the tow/haul button, but that sometimes gives me a bad "clunk". I must stop, and move the gear lever or push the tow/haul button to fix it. Not sure it's the same issue, but it's done this since new, and I know how to avoid it.

I hope you are a millionaire. Your tips and advice are priceless. You should open a mechanic school. Thumbs up

I installed a universal drain plug on my 6r80 so I can drain n fill the ATF easily whenever I want to 👌🏼👍🏼

That was SOOO funny that you brought up The taste of a fluid. You ain't a REAL mechanic 'till you taste a couple of automotive fluids in a few of those instances when you didn't know it would come apart so fast or "guess my head shouldn't of been right there". Just learning I had my mouth right under the lower radiator hose and thought I could crack it open nice and easy seee. Nope this one came all the way off, now I know why cats love antifreeze!

I watched several of your 6R80 videos before doing a fluid/filter change. I just purchased the truck with 100,000 miles and didn't have any history on it so I opted to do the fluid, filter, bulkhead sleeve and pump adapter. I followed your procedures and thought I would pass along an additional tip. On my 2010 Navigator with the mechatronic valve body, I ended up with a "no start" condition. I also had the "Service AdvanceTrac" message and the "Wrench" and CE lights on. I assumed I didn't properly install the bulkhead sleeve and had a connector issue. What it ended up being is that the spool valve that connects to the transmission range selector got pushed into the valve body and didn't properly engage the range selector. The transmission range sensor detected this condition. I could also feel some resistance when putting the vehicle in and out of park. So if you drop the valve body be sure the spool valve engages the range selector properly.

Hi, your video is really very clear. So, I have a question, after changing the sensor board and filling the fluid, is it necessary to perform some reprogramming in the software, or just start the engine and is it? Thanks

in overdrive at a low rpm, I am getting a rumble, as like I am going over rumble strips, I just changed the coils and plugs, I thought I had a high speed miss. no luck, I am going to try changing the fluid and see if that changes anything. Great video

Thank for posting your videos, exceptional information!

Great videos! Thanks for all the good info. I have a 2010 F150 with a 6R80 I did a pass through sleeve on. Don't know how I did this, but after having issues and no communication with TCM, found two of the pins in the trans. bent over. Upon trying to straighten them, they broke off. :( Being a 2010, I priced a TCM at my local Ford dealer. $800+ list with my wholesale cost at $660. My questions. 1. Is the TCM replacement a simple job once the pan and filter is down? 2. Are the pins inside the pass through sleeve part of the TCM? 3. Is the TCM and black frame assy. one in the same on a 2010? My local dealer emailed me a picture of the TCM, but the picture didn't show it separated form the valve body. The only other issue I'm having beside this lol, is a shudder on take off. I already have done the slip yolk clean up and re-grease. Maybe the TCM and flash will cure this.

2011 F150 3.7L V6. 100,000 miles. What is the part name and number for the pass through to the pump that you are pointing to at 3:32? I'm fairly confident this is what is causing my problem. Transmission is sluggish to shift from P to drive in the morning, first start. If in a hurry and quickly starting the truck and shifting to drive, it wont shift, add accelerator and no move until a few seconds and it finally catches. Sometimes catches rough after a stop sign too. Ill take my foot off the brake and hit the accelerator and loud "clunk" and bit of a jerk as it kicks into gear. Thank you for your videos! Extremely helpful!

Thanks for the much needed video on the 6R80! I still have a problem with mine. I was suspect that that my fluid might be low after seeing a bit of a leak in the hose that runs over the cross member bar right at the front of the truck. I got my truck to operating temperature and left idling, pulled the check plug on level ground and it started spewing trans fluid out of the plug like crazy. I scrambled with a burning oily hand to tighten the plug back in before i lost too much fluid. What does this mean? Is there a seal gone?

That transmission thermostat is a PITA during trans services. We still have a BG trans flush machine instead of the Rotunda heated machine. Brake torque is the only way to get it hot enough to flow. After the flush is finished I always leave the vehicle idle until the thermostat closes so I know it's not overheating anything and gives the torque converter plenty of time to cool down. Great video as always man.

From THAILAND! Thank You so much.

My 2012 px ford ranger 4wd , has a recall for the lead thing in the transmission. Im gonna try get it warrantyed

I'm having the issue with the delayed engagement with the pass through pump seal. I can't seem to find that part anywhere on the internet. Can you please help me out with the part number. Also, great video!

Hey man I'm doing a fluid and filter change on my 2012 it has 150k miles on it and has been slipping a little when I first start it and drive it's been could here in Oklahoma in the mornings also so I checked the fluid level after driving it for about a hour and it was just under the hash marks so think it's just slipping when it's could because it's low on fluid plan on changing the pass through sleeve while I'm in should I drop the valve body and checkout / maybe change the pump pass though while I'm in it since it has such high mileage just wanted to get your thoughts on it thanks in advance if you reply man your videos are the best I've found on KZfaq ✌🏻

I have a 2013 150 5.0 3.55 gears new to towing travel trailer what temp should my tranny be at and what's to hot? thanks for all your great videos

When I did my lead frame I lost one of the the rubber seal sleeves. Mine was a later build so it had 3 instead of 4. Rough shift and slow engagement issues now

Awesome video, !!! got a cuestion, i have a f150 2010, and those dosent come wit dipstick transmission, i bout one b&m transmission dipstick, but im still thinking to put it, if i put it, dosent efect the pressure of the transmission when is working! ?

Holy shit this guy is the transmission god, this is amazing lol thank you My 13' f150 had a bad molded lead frame, prob internal speed sensor (did exactly what you said, 5th to 2nd)

Great videos! Question for you... I did a drain and fill of my 2012 Ford Escape with the 6F35 transmission for the first time and used VersaTrans Mercon LV. Is that ok? or should i really just drain and fill a few times and use the Motorcraft to try to dilute to get all the VersaTrans LV out?

Great video lots of useful information thanks Brian.

thank you for the information I have ford expedition 2008 when the transmission down shift from 2 to 1 there is like kick also when shift from 2 to 3 do think it's from the out put speed sensor ?

I just bought an 09 F150 with a 5.4 and a 6R80 in it. I got a good deal on it and it has less than 50K on it so I rolled the dice. If push comes to shove, is it possible to swap in a PCM-controlled transmission for the solenoid-body-controlled one? TIA and you're my new best friend.

Oh Crap, I'm approaching 124K miles and I haven't changed the fluid yet. I have done the oil changes of course. No other fluids at this time. How do I tell what Trans I have in my truck? Would a cooling fin pan help? 2014 F150 STX 4x4 5.0l coyote engine 302. Automatic 6 speed Thanks for ALL your tips and videos. I just found out now that It is a removable pan and where the dipstick might be.

You just answered a question I posted on one of your other videos regarding change intervals. However, when I do my 30,000 mile fluid change, how many quarts will this actually change? Great videos, kind of like having my own Ford tech on staff. Keep it up. !

Nice review.Sir, i need your advice. I have a 2013 Ford Ranger ( thai / asian version )and it is using a 6R80 transmission . The problem is the 2nd gear ( shift sock occasionally ). My ford mechanic use the OBD scanner and he found out that the 2nd solenoid has a problem . My question is can i change the 2nd solenoid ( amazon sells solenoid kit 7pcs for 6R80) or buy the whole valve body? Thank you

Sup bro i like your videos. I have a few questions im getting these obd codes on my 2011 f150 ecoboost p0741,p1744 with the wrench logo on dashboard,transmission shifts fine i was wondering if i replace the fluid would that make the codes go away? Or could there be something more serious wrong with it?...

Ihave a 2009 f150 4.6l 4speed with 246,000 miles ive changed filter fluid 3 times never had an issue with the trans knock on wood but it cannot hold up forever.

had dealer replace lead frame due to p0720 code and hard shift, they also did pcm update now my speedo reads about 15mph off at high speeds

Need to find info on a trans range sensor.. my reverse does t wanna engage and doesn’t light up on the column..

Hello First off thx again for the help on my axle seals they are in and running. I have a trans ? When I start my engine it idles down then up always. Then when I go to put it in drive/rev it hesitates to shift. Then in drive when I release the Gas pedal as I'm driving it jerks as if I got hit from behind. I really like my truck and wanna keep it going. Would you mind helping me with this please. Thx

Great video's! my 2010 f150 stx 4x4 140k miles. shifts good but going up a slight grade it downs shifts hard and then shutters bad when it shifts back up to overdrive. Should I change fluid or is there another issue you think? Thanks

When will you do a video of the 10R80 trans issues?

I am doing a friend's 2009 Ford 150 4.6L truck transmission fluid change in about 2 weeks. This looks so similar to my 2005 Jaguar S Type R ZF Transmission. His truck has 90k miles. Nothing ever done. Runs great. I was going to just change the filter and clean the pan and that's it. But, now, considering removing the mechatronics or solenoid valve body and the other stuff. Your recommendation? Very much appreciate, thanks,

Is there anyway the thermal bypass valve can be manually opened? Well, i guess not or somebody would have posted it. anyway, I highly doubt a dealership is going to spend the time getting my trans temp up to the required temp to open that valve. Plus I don't like the idea of my F150 being dogged while up on a lift just to get the temps up. 99% of the public would have no idea about the valve needing to be opened to completely change all the fluid. They pay for 15 quarts and really only get a portion of that changed. I found a reputable auto repair shop that will do it by just dropping the pan and changing the fluid that way. He seemed knowledgable about the thermal bypass valve too. Every Ford dealership I called said they don't drop pans, flushes only. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

My 2011 F150 shudders once and a while when taking off. Mainly when it's cold and it's the first time moving. 195k the fluid has be changed a couple of time. That's my next maintenance item I have to do.

How do i change out the small solenoids and what order do they go back in ? I have a 2007 ford explorer sports trac with 4.6 it has a valve body on it with all the solenoids on one side there is 6 all in a row one of them are a brown tan color the others are black and silver.

So, theres no valve body gaskets with the 6R60? I saw your video on the valve body gasket blowouts causing shift issues on the 5R55S and was wondering if the 6R series X-missions do the same.

Very helpful, thanks

I have a 2010 raptor i bought it used and its doing all the things you said ... when cold . It shirts awful . But when normal temp is good i can not tell if tbe transmission filter has ever been changed but if i do it will it be normal or will i need to change the valve body / lead frame . It has 133000 miles on it

I have a 2011 Lincoln Navigator base with 5.4l engine and it shifts fine except sometimes it has a delayed downshift to 1st gear when coming to a stop. Are there sensors I can replace to fix that

I have a 2006 Explorer Limited and I was told I need to replace the mechatronics due to flaring during upshift 4-5. Can I replace the valve body with this new one you show in the video and then do a PCM reflash on the vehicle? Thanks!

Yes you are the man FordTech

At 180k mileage on 2011 f150 I've decided to replace my slipping transmission with a lower mileage used one. After the install what steps/programming will it need?

I recently bought an 07 Sport Trac 4.6L, 148k miles 6R60 early shifts from 10-15mph 1st gear to 2nd lags then kicks in late. All of my other shifts are very smooth, occasionally when decelerating to a stop it will also jerk. I have been watching your videos, my plan is to start with a drain & change the filter and refill with the Mercon SP. It should help with just that right?

The dual port piece that carries fluid between the pump and valve body, which I believe is called the bridge seal, seems near impossible to find as a stand alone part. I will be doing this trans service soon and would like to replace it. Can you recommend a good trans part dealer? Lastly in dropping the valve body on a 2010 F150 5.4 should I make any effort to clean the solenoids/connectors since you said they can collect fine metal particulates? Any help is much appreciated! Thank you, Mark

Bryan, where is the trans range sensor on a 6R60 and how hard is it to change and align? My truck will start in neutral but not in park. 2011 F150 5.0 thanks

That's something they didn't do. Have it hooked up while on the test drive. I will be calling them tomorrow and see if they will look at it again. Will let you know. Thank you.

Does the Mercon LV taste like a slight rancid striped bass? hahaaaaa. Thanks for the new video Brian.

Hey so I have a customer with a 2011 5.0 in the shop saying 2nd gear slips when the truck is cold. I drove the truck, and determined 2nd doesn’t slip, but shifts really slow into 3rd which feel like it’s slipping when it’s cold. When it warms up it all shifts perfectly. I did a fluid swap, and it all seems to work good, but problem is I never got to drive it cold again. The truck was in and out like that. I’d pay you to give me some tips and tricks as to what it could be. I wanna make sure the vehicles I work on are done right, and I have less experience than a lube tech. Yes I’m that dumb

What is your opinion on custom tunes? I have a mild tune from 5 Star Tuning and it really works well, thoughts???

Ive got a 2016 F150 EcoBoost with 31000 miles. Had the transmission flushed with a fancy machine. I mentioned to them about this video and your advise about not flushing because it wont do anything but flush the cooler and lines because of the thermal bypass valve. They told me they don't connect to the cooler lines they have a suction tube that goes into the transmission filler opening and another line that connects someplace else (cant remember where). They told me they bypass that valve. Plus the dealer told me that thet valve is not just open and closed that it can open slightly depending on the temp of the fluid allowing fluid to get by it. Now I'm confused and concerned.

you's the man. thanks

Hi, I have a ford ranger with steps in the gearbox, I bought a body of valves, but it has a difference with the old body. there's this new hole you have in the body of your video. What is this hole for? will it connect a filter? Please I need help

What would u do if I have a stripped bolt and after drill in but the extracted won't work or easy z extracted won't work and it stuck but won't come out. Plus I have to lower down the exhaust pipe to get to the back in of the transmission pan.

My 2013 Mustang 6 speed auto (3.7 V6) I believe has the same 6R80 transmission. I just passed 30k miles (60k kms), should I do a fluid drain and fill, a fluid and filter change, or should I wait. My local dealer thinks I'm "crazy" to be changing the fluid so soon. How much fluid will the transmission take for a fluid change?

I have a 2008 f150 xl 4.2v6 I have been getting weird bump feeling a second after I touch the gas and after I go to a full stop the rear end has been completely rebuilt and the issues still their I have a new drive shaft and transmission in goof shape I was told it could be a slip yoke problem but idk I really could use some help with this any ideas

hello i have a 1999 ford expedition and i think i have a transmission problem the truck shifts slowly and almost shuts off when i push down on the pedal it just stalls...and there is some weird noise that is very loud when i drive it...if you could possibly tell me what it could be I'd appreciate a lot thank you

I have this transmission in my 2012 F150. Have P0768 & P0769 codes. Started Shifting hard sometimes and down shifting at wrong times. Should I try fluid change. 90k miles

I have a 2014 Lariat with the 6 speed 5.0L, So how many quarts do i buy for my transmission service and filter? Doing this spring?

Would you recommend using a aftermarket trans pan (larger one) ?

I have 2011 6.7 diesel, six speed and I tow occasionally. How often do you recommend I change the trans fluid and is valveoline. LV fluid ok to use in the transmission.

hi i have a 2011 mustang 6r80 i try to find solenoid body id on bodyvalve where it is located i saw only strategy engrave thank

I have a 2013 with the p0720 issue as well. I assume I’ll need a new leadframe. Now if I purchase one to install on my own....is the process a simple disconnect the old frame, connect the new and then start the truck up?? Or is there anything software or anything specific I’ll need to get done.

Interesting you say to get the calibration done. I've hashed my for dealer to do that cause my shifting is horrible. You can tell the torque converter kicking in especially from 2-3. Sounds like the engine bogs down like I'm ridding the clutch if it were manual. You can see the rpms go up about to shift then go down then up then shift. Drives me crazy. But again ford says it's normal haha. It's scary when towing losses power with throttle response. I have to mash the gas to get it to shift down. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to find out what my trans is doing, 2011 f150, really rough shift from 4-5 with a squeal, but shifts fine if I let off the throttle, no problem at all downshifting, but also once in a while has a little bit of a squeal when shifting 3-4 with a slight jerk, but not too often, but 4-5 is all the time unless I let off the throttle, I just need know what I need to replace, I did have to drain fluid from the trans after checking the fluid level, it was about a quart and a half over full, bought the truck 2 months ago

WOW dude....... I wish you worked at my local dealer. I had my 2010 4.6v F150 with the 6r80 (I think) at 15K with slow engagement after sitting 4-6 days. They kept it for a week and said it was normal. I called BS on it but Ford wouldn't offer any help so I'm stuck with it. I've learned to wait 20-30 seconds to pressure up after sitting for a week before taking it out of park.

Will the filter fall out of place with the pan in place? I fought with my filter for over an hour to keep it in place while I re positioned the pan. I've lost sleep wondering if the filter fell down and isn't connected properly.

I have a 6.0 superduty truck with manual transmission. Transmission makes a grinding noise ONLY in high speed, after third gear. I change fluid every 35K miles because of hard use... Any thoughts where I should start first? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I have a 07 Sport Trac 4.6 v8 with the 6R60 and Ive been experiencing shifting issues in overdrive with light load (goin up hills or light accelerator pressure) it seems to struggling downshifting from 6th to 5th it will shutter and hesitate until I give it enough gas to downshift but im wondering if this is a transmission issue or ignition issue cause it idles and drives good otherwise. Thanks

The quick lane at my local ford dealership won’t do pan drops. Only a fluid flush for my 2017 6 speed automatic f150 ecoboost. Question is, will it hurt? It has 88,000 miles on it.

i have a 6r60 2007 mercury mountaineer 4.6 at 40 to 50 i get a shudder when under a load any clue of why it may be doing this when od is off it does not doing it has around 140,000 on it.

So my truck has a long 5th gear. Like reallllly long but it shifts smoothly. If I just lightly let off it'll shift, otherwise it takes a while. Could that potentially be fixed by calibration?

odd question. can you "upgrade" to a 6r80 from a 6r60? Install a 6r80 and related drive line components, and have the TCM programmed as required?

I have this transmission in a 2011 F150 with a P0705 fault intermittently. The truck has 230,000 miles on it, would it be smart to change the fluid & filter or should I just replace the range sensor/connector as well?
