2017-2020 F-150

Transmission/Transaxle: 10R80

2018-2020 Mustang

Transmission/Transaxle: 10R80

Markets: North American markets only
Issue: Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit at least one of the following conditions:
• Harsh engagement
• Delayed engagement
• Harsh shift
• Delayed shift
• Illuminated MIL with DTCs P0751, P0752, P0756, P0757, P0761, P0762, P0766, P0767, P0771, P0772, P2700, P2701, P2702, P2703, P2704, P2705, P2707,
P2708, P0729, P0731, P0732, P0733, P0734, P0735, P0736, P076F, P07D9, P07F6 and/or P07F7 stored in the PCM or TCM.
This may be due to axial movement of the CDF clutch cylinder sleeve causing hydraulic circuit leaks.
NOTE: If internal transmission service is required to address a concern detected with the CDF clutch cylinder following this article, technicians should carefully
inspect and replace other transmission components and flush transmission fluid cooler only as necessary as needed to ensure proper function. Add a new line to
the repair order to document any additional repairs needed. M-time can be claimed on the additional repair line to cover labor. Refer to Warranty and Policy Manual
for additional information. A thorough understanding of transmission description and operation will assist the technician with proper diagnosis, inspection, and
successful repair of the customer concern.
NOTE: The Pressure Vacuum Transducer (PVT) Kit (Rotunda 164-R9833) and VCMM Transmission Extension Kit (Rotunda 164-R9534) recommended to perform this
article are no longer included with the VCMM Advanced Kit (Rotunda 164-R9823) since July 2023. Supply of the PVT Kit (Rotunda 164-R9833) and VCMM
Transmission Extension Kit (Rotunda 164-R9534) have been sold out. Ford has confirmed a high percentage (80%) of Dealers have this equipment available.
Alternatively, Ford has tested suitable transmission fluid pressure gauges and developed procedures which reliably enable the capability to perform this article.
Refer to Table 1 in the Service Procedure. In addition, VCMM Universal Probe Tip Adapter (Rotunda 164-R9834, or equivalent) is needed to perform this article. The
Probe Tip Adapters are included in VCMM Advanced Kit (Rotunda 164-R9823).
Action: For vehicles that meet all of the criteria in the Issue and Model statements, follow the Service Procedure to verify hydraulic circuit leakage and if instructed replace the
CDF clutch cylinder and the clutch and planetary container cylinder.
