Ford 6R80, Shift Kit Install

In this video, I install a Trans Go Shift kit in a Gen 1 6R80 Valvebody. I also install a new Bonded gasket Valvebody plate and a new lead frame. I go over the contents of the shift kit and then we go ahead and install the kit and reassemble the valvebody. Thanks for watching, please like and subscribe. Happy Mothers day to all the moms out there.

Enjoyed watching a master of his craft performing this work! Thanks for the video. If I still lived in Jersey I’d take the drive over to your shop to have this done!

My Gen 2 6R80 with only 1600 miles on it after a rebuild, flared 300rpm from a 5-6 gear shift while just cruising. When engaging into D from Park, the tranny goes into 2nd gear, and then 5th gear. This sequence takes as long as 7-8 seconds as well. No codes or wrench light. Reverse engages perfectly fine. I swapped a new valve body/leadframe, and no change.. I'm thinking something is going on with the forward (A) drum assembly???

I have a hard shifting only from first to second when cold. By doing this replacement of the shift kit can this help me solve my problem? Thank you for sharing you knowledge and experience!!!

Thanks for the info! I have harsh 1-2 and 2-1 shifts on 6r80. Can you advise where could be the issue? Truck has only 50k miles, and fluid change\ PCM calibration did not help at all....

Hi Gary, I was just wondering if you have ever seen it where the valve that is nearest the trans fluid level check in the lower half of the valve body will have a broken retaining clip for the end plug. I have seen this multiple times on 6R60's/6R80's, and I was wondering if you have seen this and if so, do you know the cause. The valve is nearest the VB bolt that you torque down at the 35:30 mark to be more specific.

What are the benefits of the separator plate with tracks vs the one you replaced it with? Reliability, strength? Did Ford change to the bonded separator plate in later years? Thank your for the informing video. I’m about to install my shift kit this week!

Thanks for another informative video, have you used the transgo kit in a ZF6HP26 ? Wondering how they compare to the sonnax zip kit.

[skytrondeepfreeze]

one of my valve retainer clips is broken, just one leg, can i run it like that? If you dont advise? Do i have to split the valve body to replace the pin? Or can i squeeze it in without splitting it

I saw you answering some questions here, my 6r80 was rebuilt in my ford transit and now it squeaks after warmed up when shifting out of 3rd. What could this be?

[wendymeis]

Do you have plans of adding a rebuild of the 6R80 video?

Hey mate i have got ford ranger 3.2 auto trans 6R80, everytime i downshift from gear 5to 4 gives me a jerk other gears shift and downshift nicely what do you reckon the issue might be? Valve body or the solenoids? Car has done 304k kms

[nickmargo]

I have a clunk when my 2014 mustang 6r80 downshifts to a braking stop and I feel like it’s shifting late. Would this kit fix that?

[sergeinosov]

Hello! Why did you removed the check balls? Is is really necessary for the process of shift kit installation?

[julianthecarspecialist]

Hey gary what oil should i use for my zf5hp19fl besides oem? Also does aftermarket filters cause issues like the zf5hp24?

[Makitaization]

Do you ever use the foam pieces that go between the solenoids and lead frame?

[charlesbainbridge]

What did u use to clean the valve body
