About Our Remanufactured 6R60 Transmissions
Reman Transmission does more than a typical transmission rebuild, which only replaces broken parts – we replace every component inside the transmission, from the front pump to the planetary gears. We use re-machined parts or new OEM parts and also repair any manufacturer defects if the transmission has any.
When you need a 6R60 transmission and are looking for reasonable prices, it’s best to go with a professional supplier. Contact Reman Transmission to order a fully remanufactured or used transmission.
In many cases, transmissions come from the factory with defects. While these defects may not cause a failure for many thousands of miles, they can affect the overall performance of the transmission and shorten its lifespan. When we rebuild our transmissions, including the 6R60 transmission, we correct any factory defects in addition to replacing every part inside the transmission.
The Ford 6R60 transmission comes in Ford Explorers, Expeditions, and Mustangs and in Mercury Mountaineers and Lincoln Navigators. It’s a six-speed electronically controlled transmission with a ZF 6HP26 design.
Known Problems with Ford 6R60 and 6R80 Transmissions
When the Ford 6R60 and 6R80 transmissions first came out, they had known problems with the E Clutch (6R80), drum, and stator support (6R60 and 6R80). When these parts fail, they can cause difficulty shifting or may not allow shifting at all. They could also send codes in the fourth, fifth, and sixth gears. This is a type of factory defect in that the quality of these parts eventually cause failure. When we rebuild the 4R60, we replace all of those parts with better quality parts.
Rebuilding and Uneven Wear on Parts
Of course, all transmissions wear out over time. When you start having trouble with your 6R60, you can rebuild the transmission or swap it out for a remanufactured transmission. However, the problem with most rebuilds is that most rebuilders do not replace every part in the transmission, so the parts are not wearing evenly, which could cause additional trouble.
A bad torque converter can cause front seal leaks and premature wear on the bushings. In addition to replacing all of the parts inside our Ford 6R60 transmission, we also include a fully remanufactured and enhanced torque converter. We inspect each torque converter to ensure it locks up and is balanced.
Our Ford 6R60 transmission also comes with a completely remodeled valve body and system correction and recalibration kit. We test the valves and rejuvenate any that show wear. The torque converter and valve body are tested separately from the transmission.
Finally, all of our transmissions, including the 6R60 transmission, are extensively tested using our proprietary Computer-Aided Road Simulation dynamometer program. We back our transmissions with a no-hassle, nationwide 36-month parts, and labor warranty. Our warranty on used Ford 6R60 transmissions is 6 months or 6,000 miles.
A remanufactured transmission costs much less than a brand-new transmission. With the way we remanufacture transmissions, it is just like new – and in some cases, better than new, since we also repair manufacturer defects. We keep several remanufactured and used automatic and manual transmissions in stock, including the Ford 6R60. Contact Reman Transmission to order a remanufactured 6R60 and to learn more about our remanufacturing process.
