Shift Solenoids (SS) - Parts List
Diagram Description: An exploded view of the 6R80 transmission main control assembly showing the location of various solenoids and related components. The components are numbered and correspond to the table below.
| Item | Part Number | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | W707884 | Main control-to-molded leadframe bolts |
| 2 | 7G267 | Molded leadframe |
| 3 | W707885 | Solenoid hold-down bracket bolt (8 required) |
| 4 | 7Z369 | Solenoid hold-down bracket |
| 5 | 7G383 | SSA, Forward (1,2,3,4) clutch, normally low VFS (brown nozzle) |
| 6 | 7G383 | SSB, Direct (3,5,R) clutch, normally high VFS (black nozzle) |
| 7 | 7G383 | SSC, Intermediate (2,6) clutch, normally low VFS (brown nozzle) |
| 8 | 7G383 | LPC solenoid, normally high VFS (black nozzle) |
| 9 | 7G383 | SSD, low/reverse/overdrive clutch, normally high VFS (black nozzle) |
| 10 | 7G484 | SSE, normally off ON/OFF solenoid |
| 11 | 7G383 | TCC solenoid, normally low VFS (brown nozzle) |
Removal Procedure
- Remove the main control. Refer to Main Control.
- Remove the 6 long bolts from the molded leadframe.
- Carefully separate the molded leadframe from the main control assembly.
- 1. Molded leadframe.
- 2. Main control.
- Remove the 8 solenoid bracket bolts and the solenoid bracket.
- ⚠️ NOTICE: A VFS is calibrated from the factory and are not all the same. To replace a VFS, match the replacement solenoid nozzle color and the band number with the original solenoid. Failure to do so may result in harsh/erratic shifts, harsh/soft engagement, or damage to the transmission. If replacing more than 1 solenoid, number the solenoids and number the main control solenoid ports to correspond to the solenoid. Pull the solenoid(s) out of the main control valve body.
Installation Procedure
- ⚠️ NOTICE: A VFS is calibrated from the factory and are not all the same. To replace a VFS, match the replacement solenoid nozzle color and the band number with the original solenoid. Failure to do so may result in harsh/erratic shifts, harsh/soft engagement, or damage to the transmission.
- Use the solenoid exploded view at the beginning of this procedure to identify what type of solenoid is being replaced. The solenoid can be a normally high VFS with a black nozzle, normally low VFS with a brown nozzle, or an ON/OFF solenoid. If replacing a VFS, record the band number and the solenoid nozzle color to get the correct part number for the solenoid.
- Lubricate the solenoid O-rings with clean transmission fluid.
- 1. Solenoid Nozzle
- 2. Solenoid band number
- Position the solenoid(s) in the main control in the correct port(s) as marked during removal.
- Position the solenoid bracket in place and install the 8 bolts. Tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). ?
- ? NOTE: The TR sensor pin must be aligned with the manual control valve during installation.
- Position the molded leadframe on the main control.
- 1. Molded leadframe.
- 2. Main control.
- 3. TR sensor pin.
- Install the 6 long bolts into the molded leadframe. Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown. Tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb-in). ?
- Install the main control. Refer to Main Control.
