My 6r80 in my 2017 2.7 **** the bed last night. The truck only has 52k miles on it. Bought it used with 51k but oh well I need to make it right.

I am located in Charleston, SC. Do you guys have any suggestions on rebuild vs replacement and who to take it to? Also would you guys add anything?

 

What symptoms are you experiencing?

 

I was experiencing torque converter shudder, so two weeks ago I dropped the pan and changed the filter. Shudder has been gone since then. Last night I did some spirited driving and the truck slips in and out of gears. When it shifts up or down it shifts really hard too. I was within half of a mile from my house so I drove home and parked it.

 

So those magnets in the picture were cleaned 2 weeks ago?

 

Those pictures are from two weeks ago. I haven’t dropped the pan again. I’m assuming that something is burnt up due to the dark fluid color

 

Mercon LV/ULV get extremely dark quite quickly. If you're experiencing shift concerns, that's a different issue, but the fluid color shouldn't immediately say that things are bad.

I'm really surprised to see a failure at such a low mileage. The 6R80s are built pretty solid.

 

The fluid is a bit dark but that color isn’t indicative of a failure. The real question is how does it smell?

 

Isn’t it still under 5yr, 60000mile powertrain warranty?

 

Well that is maybe a little more grunge than I would like to see but it isn't indicating a massive failure by any means.

 

I just had my 6r80 replaced last sept with a remanufactured unit bought from a local Ford dealer and installed from a third party shop. 3 year unlimited mile warranty from ford and it cost a little over $4000 installed.
