As far as I know the 10R80 was derived from the 6R80 so I am hoping someone is working on a way to allow for its use in a S197 car. We sat down with Johnny Brady of Brady Performance to gain some insight into the magical 10R80, where its boundaries are, and what you can do to make your 10-speed transmission last. Especially with a ultra low viscosity fluid. For four-speed automatics, transmission fluid typically had a viscosity of around 7.5 centistokes, while six-speeds use fluid with a viscosity of 6.0 centistokes. In 2019, the Ford Ranger, Ford Everest, and again Ford Mustang had the 10R80 available. Small boost on a 3.5 or 2.7 l = good horsepower gains and small twin turbos spools quickly and generates less heat. Additionally, the gear ratio spread is wider, and the 10R80 has a lower numerical top gear ratio that helps increase efficiency in the engine by reducing engine speeds when the vehicle is traveling at highway speeds. The Ford 10R80 10-speed transmission is designed to combine the efficiency benefits of a CVT, with the stepped feel of a traditional automatic transmission. It was designed with smaller steps between each gear ratio to enhance power delivery and engine efficiency. ** BCR Performance Inc. doesnt ship non-CARB legal products to California. The front support assembly, with its clutch spinloss reduction features, among other things, contributes to the overall efficiency and compact size of the new 10R80. 10R80 GPZ Performance Transmission Super Rebuild Kit - Raybestos Powertrain [8] GM's Silao, Mexico transmission plant started 10L80 production in 2018. Remedy This transmission is part of a joint-venture between Ford Motor Company and General Motors to design and engineer two transmissions, a longitudinal 10-speed transmission and a transverse 9-speed trans-axle. <br><br>I have a data-first approach with expertise in social listening and market research. They wouldnt have purchased these vehicles if they knew about the possible defect. lighter than the one in its predecessor. JB: We use a Ford factory seal kit, Suncoast Performance steels, Raybestos Powertrain GPZ frictions, and Ford Mercon ULV fluid. A transmission with 10 gears, compared to the 9-, 8- 6- speeds of yore, and potentially the "peak" of transmission development, simply because physics has its limitations.
