Thank you for making this video! After my F-150 abruptly downshifted from 6th gear into 1st gear, I took my F-150 to the Ford dealership & after a week they told me I needed a new motor & possibly a new transmission. They had no clue what was wrong with it or were unwilling to fix it even though Ford had issued a nationwide safety recall for this issue. I wish I had a reliable knowledgeable person like yourself nearby. Thanks again!

Thank you. I just bought a used 12 for myself, and love the truck, but dont love this problem. Was 30/70 whether I wanted to takle the job myself, but now I'm 100% Thank you again!!!

You are an awesome mechanic! Thanks for the video.

Man I appreciate you making this video I took my 2011 F150 to a local shop and asked how much to change my leadframe he immediately told me he had to rebuild the transmission and it would run me 1800 to 2500 dollars I told him I had research the problem and everyone who had the same symptoms it was the leadframe. So thanks a lot I’m gonna change my lead frame tomorrow picked on up today

Does Ford have to reprogram or can the lead frame just be replaced? There was a reprogram done on my truck(13 F150 Limited 3.5l ecoboost 4x4 v6) in 2020... Please advise ! Thanks

Excellent presentation and now know why the lead assembly has to be replaced. Thanks.

I just had the lead frame replaced on my 2016 at the dealership. The service advisor tried to explain what they did but I don't think he even knows what a transmission is as he pronounced it "led" frame lol. So thank you for clearing showing what was actually replaced on my truck. Next time I will do it myself as it is definitely something I can handle with my mechanical abilities.

Working on a 2010 f150 w a floor shifter won’t go all the way into park, when I manually put it in park underneath the shifter is stuck in park my first hunch is the cable, it doesn’t extend all the way down but deep diving I’ve found could be the shift interlock solenoid, brake light solenoid, the shifter itself and now this lol I’ve manually reset it to take a look and took apart the shifter to see what’s going on, I have it responding w the brake for now so maybe I can eliminate the shift lock solenoid but I’m stuck where to continue my diagnoses I put the shifter into D, engine off Manually put the transmission into D The cable and shifter don’t line up Turning back on the vehicle Resetting to Park, they don’t match up again I’m gonna try the fix for a new cable in case it’s stretched I think

Mine is toast. Luckily the recall happened at the right time for me. The software download wouldn’t so I’ve got a new lead frame coming for my f150 under the recall.

this is amazing. this is the video i needed. your a savior.

Apparently the area we are stuck on is the installation part that made you mad and skipped. That valve we had to figure out and the linkage between the shifter lever and the valve body comes apart when we try and run the truck. Had to pull the pan off again, trying to figure it out for the 2nd time now... we will see.

Debating weather my valve body or lead frame is bad , will downshift hard from 5th to 4th only but only when it stays in 5th gear for a while I guess when it builds pressure, on 6th gear overdrive it seems like it looses pressure while driving almost feels like it down shifts but it’s not shifting it stays on 6th gear

I have had an erratic shift for several months 2017 6r80. Everything points to the OSS throwing a fit. Is it wise to replace the leadframe(with new valve body, as the leadframe alone is usually unavailable) altogether, or could the sensor alone be swapped?

Hey man thanks for this awesome video. I’m thinking I need to replace my valve body on my 16 f150 5.0 ;97k miles, 6r80. I’m having intermittent shifting issues particular at faster speeds on highway.sometime when I press on gas to go faster tranny gets stuck in lower gear and the only way to get it back to normal is to let off the gas and cycle back through gears. Anyway was hoping for some insight if you think that could be the problem and also if I change this part will I have to do any programming or reflashing of anytype? Im replacing the entire valve body and lead frame. Thanks!!!!!
