The automatic transmission assembly with reference number BL3Z-7000-C is designed for the Ford 6R80F 6-speed automatic transmission. The "F" designation specifically identifies this as the 4WD variant, featuring a heavy-duty 4WD output shaft and extended tailhousing to mate directly with the transfer case. Based on the proven ZF 6HP architecture, it delivers exceptional durability and towing capability for the Ford F-150, Ranger (T6), and Everest.

Quick Specifications:

Part Number: BL3Z-7000-C (Ford OEM format)
Transmission Model: 6R80F (6-Speed Automatic 4WD)
Configuration: Longitudinal Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
Max Input Torque: ~800 Nm (590 lb-ft)
Fluid Type: Mercon LV (Low Viscosity) ATF
Fluid Capacity: ~11.0 - 13.5 Liters (dry fill, varies by pan and transfer case)

Applications:

Ford F-150 (2011-2017, 4WD 3.5L EcoBoost, 5.0L V8, and 6.2L V8 variants)
Ford Ranger (Global T6 platform, 4WD 3.2L Diesel and 2.0L/3.5L Gasoline variants)
Ford Everest (4WD variants sharing the T6 Ranger platform)
Ford Expedition (2011-2017, 4WD 5.4L V8 and 3.5L EcoBoost variants)

Complete Assembly Includes:

✅ Heavy-duty aluminum case with ZF-derived Lepelletier gearsets
✅ High-capacity torque converter with multi-plate lock-up clutch
✅ Mechatronic valve body with integrated TCM and molded lead frame
✅ 4WD specific output shaft and extended tailhousing
✅ Transfer case adapter mating surface and sealing gaskets
✅ Clutch packs, brake bands, and high-volume oil pump

Note: Transfer case, transmission mounts, shift linkages, and driveshafts must be transferred from the original unit.

Key Features:

✅ 4WD Ready: Specifically machined tailhousing and output shaft designed for direct, secure mating with the vehicle's transfer case.
✅ ZF Architecture: Utilizes the highly reliable Lepelletier planetary gearset for smooth shifts and compact packaging.
✅ High Torque Capacity: Internally reinforced to handle the massive low-end torque of V8 and EcoBoost engines under heavy loads.
✅ Tow/Haul Mode: Optimized shift logic holds lower gears longer and increases line pressure for heavy towing and off-road use.

Technical Notes:

Critical Installation Requirements:

Fluid Specification: Must use Mercon LV ATF exclusively. Do NOT use Mercon ULV (for 10-speeds) or older Mercon V.
Transfer Case Mating: When mating the transfer case to the 6R80F, ensure the input gear splines are properly aligned and lubricated with assembly grease to prevent binding.
TCM Programming: The integrated TCM requires adaptation resets and strategy learning via Ford IDS or FDRS diagnostic tools after installation.
Cooler Flushing: Mandatory flushing of the transmission cooler and lines is required to prevent cross-contamination of metallic debris.

Common Issues & Maintenance:

Molded Lead Frame: The integrated speed sensors/MLPS on the lead frame are a known wear item. Harsh shifts or loss of gear indication often point to this component.
Torque Converter Shudder: A vibration at highway speeds during light throttle lock-up. Often resolved by a fluid exchange or installing an upgraded billet converter.
Fluid Service: A Mercon LV drain and fill every 60,000–80,000 km is highly recommended, especially for 4WD trucks used for towing or off-roading.
