I had an independent shop do mine. Charged over $1500 over $800 in parts alone. Shifting from first to second BANGS into gear under light throttle slow speed. Shop said the tranny has to reprogram itself. Also he said they had to download software for the new leadframe. Truck only has 92k 2013, and he said drive over 100 miles it’ll correct itself. Did i get shafted??? 😡
Thank you for the video. I just did the job. The two hardest parts of this for me was getting the bulkhead connector off(there is no room with heat shields everywhere) and filling it back up with fluid( you need a pump and the exhaust manifold is inches away which makes this very difficult, again no room). I did end up splashing myself in the face when dropping the pan. The parts were a little over a hundred dollars and the transmission fluid was about $50. Again thank you for an easy to follow video.
I cant explain how great of a video this really is. Takes his time, shows where you need to be at to support or remove something. Other videos dont do that!!! And very informative the parts. Also nice pace to keep up with as well!
I’m a former Ford mechanic (diesel driveability mostly) and I really think this might be one of the best instructional videos I’ve seen on university of RUclips. Good job telling folks to torque their valve body. Seen a few internal pressure leaks in the past from over torqued valve body bolts messing up the gaskets.

Very detailed explanation with one exception: Didn't show installing the connector hub back into the transmission. Also, grease on that plunger didn't hold it for long, so instead I used a piece of wire attached to the nearest pan screw threaded holes and bended it accordingly to temporarily hold that plunger in place while the valve body was in place with a single loose screw. Then moved the wire out and done deal!
Awesome tutorial, very well explained and thought out. Going to be doing this soon and couldn't be happier to have come across this video. Left a sub, thank you!
Wonderful and concise video. Did you forget to mention putting back the square plastic seal body. I missed that. But thank you for Patriots like yourself.
Great video, Bruh.... I have a 2013 F150 Ecoboost showing a P0720 code. Will this leaf frame replacement fix my issue?? My truck WON'T go up to 6th gear and WON'T go past 3rd gear once i come to a stop sign or redlight...I need my truck!!!!!
I added the thermal bypass to my truck. Before I pulled the valve body the levers were all line up. I buttoned everything up went to start the truck and all my gear shift indicators will not illuminate on the dash except park and it would not engage in any gear. I pulled the pan to inspect now the levers aren’t line up. How do you realign them? Thank you
Great video! After I replaced it I am getting code P0750 for bad shift solenoid A. I am assuming I did something wrong and I will be pulling it out again to see what I may have missed. Thank you!
@@brysoncarney6893 you're welcome! Make sure no pins backed out of the bulkhead connection. That's common. The easiest fix is to replace the transmission harness, which is about the same price as just the connector
I have been trying to find just the harness ahead of me pulling it all apart. Is it something I would have to buy used? Everything I’m seeing is quite a lot of money. Thank you again!
Just did the lead frame in a 250k 5.0. Now the transmission is slipping bad. Wonder if the transfer tubes didn’t get back in properly? Left them on the valve body. Only drove the truck 10 miles before this but it didn’t slip at all
Thats what i did. Good luck finding one though. They are on mational back order. I found one on ebay brand new in its original package. Lead frame and valve body assembly😊
Yeah it could be your leadframe. Check the connector on the back of the transmission first for damaged wires or being full of fluid from an unseated bulkhead sleeve
That locking tab on the lead frame (for the bulkhead sleeve), is designed to NOT go up until the sleeve is fully installed. I believe your description is misleading about making sure it moves up and down before installing. If it’s fighting you that is a good thing; it’s preventing you from locking it in without a properly installed bulkhead sleeve. If you really want to test before installation, you can put the bulkhead sleeve into the lead frame then move the locking tab up and down.
Thank you for the information. That makes sense. The bulkhead sleeve will push on the two slide fingers when seated, and then you push up on the slide handle. Thanks for explaining
What is the lead frames main function and why does it go bad??? My 2011 f150 platinum with 6.2L 293k miles is showing symptoms of problem. Lost of power, speedometer needle goes to zero, rpm goes up and down.
I have a 2014 F150 with almost 280,000 miles. I don't have any codes, but it seems that the neutral safety switch is failing. It sometimes won't start, but all the lights, etc come on. I move the gear shift and then it will start. There aren't any other issues with the truck running, except the windshield wipers won't go completely off sometimes. The wipers will continue on the intermittent setting. It was suggested by a shop that it might be possible to adjust the neutral safety switch without disassembly. Is that possible?
My 2016 F150 gets stuck in like first gear and the drive selector goes away and my fans start running a high speed. I was told it was the lead frame, does that sound like it could be it?
Replaced my lead frame. Still have exact same problem. Won't shift between 4th and 5th. Gets stuck in 3rd won't shift. Makes funny humming noise. And will down shift to 1st all by its self. And my Speedo is way off
When I pulled out the lead frame connector the lead frame sleeve didn't come with it. I couldn't pull out the valve body and I'm thinking it's because of that. Any tips for how to get that out? I tried reconnecting the connector and starting over but it doesn't wanna give.
I almost gave up too, takes an uncomfortable amount of force to remove. Use a long flat head screw driver putting the tip underneath the threaded part of connector and the middle of screw driver pivoting/prying off exhaust. Use the same method to reinstall expect pivoting tip of screwdriver on the end of the connector sleeve instead of threads. Put vasoline on seal part of bulk head to assist install.
@@mikeoshea4088 It ended up giving - I just needed to find a more aggressive angle of attack. Glad it didn't break like the screw did when putting the tranny pan back on!

Just did this to my 16 f150 5.0. Was giving me a 715 code. Now im having hard shift into 2nd, and revs up a few hundred rpm shifting from 5 to 6.

What’s the torque and tightening sequence for the lead frame to valve body bolts and the transmission pan bolts? I have a 2012 F-150 3.5L
Hi, if I didn't show the sequence in the video, I'll take a picture and post it on my Facebook or discord group, just join and ask. Thanks
If you are swapping out the entire valve body/lead frame assembly, do you need to reprogram?
Yes, the valve body should come with a solenoid strategy sticker
Hello, thank you for the video. I would like you to tell me where I can buy the part
You're welcome. The part isn't as hard to get at the moment at the dealer. I'd only use an OEM lead frame. Part # AL3Z7G276D. Check ebay.
I’ve put about 6 quarts in it and it’s over full. Do I need to start it to go through the Wahl body then check it again.
Let the engine idle and it'll pull 5 quarts or so through the pump and converter and you'll be able to put the rest in
what was different with 2010 6r80. i see some parts are 2011-2018 and some also include the 2010. was the change with the ecu?
on a 2010, the TCM is built into the leadframe, and serviced by replacing the whole valve body
Replace the pan with aftermarket one with a plug in it ..easier to remove pan on next fluid change.
That's what I'd do if I owned one, for sure
My bulkhead connector did come off with the plug, is it okay to reuse?
Yes its ok to put that connecter shell back in
What is the lead frames main function and why does it go bad??? My 2011 f150 platinum with 6.2L 293k miles is showing symptoms of problem. Lost of power, speedometer needle goes to zero, rpm goes up and down.
That sounds like the leadframe. The main failure point is the OSS
So would a 2010 6r80 6.2 raptor have a mechatronic or a lead frame?
Mechtronics
Stupid question but if it takes 9-10 quarts and the pan only holds 4-5 should I fill it till it’s full run the truck then fill again?
The pan will take 4 to 5 (thats fine to start with), then with the engine running, the torque converter will fill up and itll take another 4 or 5
@@BigBensCarsAndCycles thank you - so add 4-5 start truck cycle gears - shut off and fill again ?

What is the function of the feed tubes? If one is gone is that a problem. Will it be a pressure problem?
