Reverse engages perfectly fine. The car was driving perfect for the first 7 minutes, and then this came out of nowhere. I believe its a solenoid/valve body issue. No codes came up.

[@jstealth5861]

Liked and subscribed. Again thanks man great video. Saved a ton of time and money doing this myself plus I learned something and felt good knowing I took my time and did it right. Apparently previous owner put royal purple Max ATF in this trans, didn't have an issue with it but I'm doing the motorcraft Mercon LV. Reason for lead frame replacement was that every once in a while it would go into limp mode and throw a wrench light. I'm whipple charged so my throttle body is different than stock but I cleaned it anyway. When it still threw wrench light and went into limp mode I decided the lead frame was probably the culprit. We'll see. Regardless the leas frame in these trucks is a common issue. I replaced it with the new version which looked the same except for different part number and that foam seal at the solenoids. Do you recommend flushing out the rest of that royal purple? Any issue with a small amount of it mixing with the motorcraft?

[@autohelp6504]

you should be fine not flushing out the rest of the royal purple. it is almost impossible with these transmissions anyways. the thermal expansion valve makes it difficult to get everything out of the system.

Do you or anyone in these comments have any experience with the dorman brand of this part? I literally have looked everywhere for the Ford oem one and can not find it. I did find a dorman one

[@autohelp6504]

You will be fine with the Dorman brand.

[@felonies]

Thanks for the reply. Just installed it today. Drove about 70 miles so far with no issues!! Fingers crossed

[@joelusa1]

I hope you did not forget to push the clip to hold the socket in place otherwise you are now leaking oil...

[@autohelp6504]

I did not forget.

[@dpipiles]

What breaks on these? can they be overhauled?

[@autohelp6504]

The small metal shavings created from transmission wear build up in the lead frame and cause it to short out.

[@usamawarraich7571]

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

[@autohelp6504]

look for metal clutch wear material built up around the connections of the shift solenoid plugs. If there is none present it is more than likely the shift solenoid.

Any tips on getting the retaining clip for the bulkhead connector back into the locked position? I’m having a helluva time getting mine to even budge.

make sure the bulk head sleeve is all the way in. that is the plastic housing that the wires run through the transmission. I had the same problem.

@@autohelp6504 I’ve finished my project! Had to go back in and re-install the trans filter because it fell out the first time. What a pain doing it on the ground, outside, in north New Mexico during the first snow storm lol.

@@Lineman12.4 glad to hear you got it finished. i have had my fair share of working on the ground. went out and purchased a lift, best money i have ever spent.

What was wrong that you have to replace it.

[@autohelp6504]

truck would not move sometimes.

[@HighlightReel15]

Would your F-150 clunk hard when you would go from Park to Drive and Drive to Reverse and Park to Reverse??

[@autohelp6504]

No, mine did not have any symptoms like that.

[@juanperez-ni2iw]

mine does that. did you fix it and how?

[@ethangrahampowell]

Bit late but mine did that when shifting to drive as it would shift to 3rd or 5th gear instead of first giving a bit of a kick as you mentioned. If you shift to manual, it will show what gear you are in and probably won’t be 1st

[@johndamron834]

Hey bro I’m working on a 16 did they not use the spring on the thermal valve or did it roll away from me?

[@autohelp6504]

As far as I know they did not get rid of the spring.

[@phil-fr4lg]

Hey...followed instructions and no engagement when placed in any gear. Could I have fried the board cuz I did not remove the battery cable or I did not get the shift linkage in slot on trans side. Any wisdom on this ? Thanks😊

[@autohelp6504]

I would say you do not have the linkage hooked up properly.

[@phil-fr4lg]

@@autohelp6504 well I have to drain and look at that again...99% sure detent was in the slot. Can I drain and turn ignition switch to accessory to move shifter linkage and validate full range of position - without fluid or starting. But if nub is seated correctly..then what? Could I have a bad new lead frame or did I fry it by not removing battery cable...thanks for your insight again😊.

[@autohelp6504]

@@phil-fr4lg sorry i did not see your last question until now. Have you figured out what was wrong?

[@phil-fr4lg]

Linkage was correct for valvebody & leadframe...went with defective leadframe. Tech said it might be that the PCU needed to be updated to latest software because mine has never been upgrated from 2009. We'll see what happens with new unit...thanks. Will update when completed for everyone😊

[@dankeronen]

Will this sensor cause a no crank/no start issue? I'm not getting any DTC codes? I'm stumped as it seems intermittent.

[@autohelp6504]

Daniel Keronen it could if it is not registering that the truck is in park or neutral. Is the park light on th indicator illuminated?

[@muhammadfaris3399]

Do you need to reset the transmission after taking out the valvebody?

[@autohelp6504]

No you do not.

[@FeellWellBeWell]

I just replaced it and the truck now won't show what gear is on. Any suggestions

Is the lead frame the same on the mustang ? part number wise I can only find replacements for f150s but I have a 2012 mustang.
