6R80 SWAP Questions

[mackdog2008]

I am in the planning stage of a 6R80 swap, I found a few things online but I want to see if anyone can give me any good ideas on where to get all the parts I need to do the swap and what is needed to make the computer know what to do.

If you have links you can post up that will help that would be great, I didn't find a lot on this searching on Google.

Most can be bought from tasca ford for a good price, Shifter, shifter cable, transmission cooler/lines, transmission, converter, auto PCM, auto trans harness, brake pedal assembly and bushing and master cylinder reservoir.

Or find a swap wreck.

I just searched on eBay over the coarse of a month and found all major components. Got the little parts from tasca though. PartsFarm in georgia had a lot of parts too.

How much does it end up costing to do the swap anyways if you buy new? 6kish?

I don't think so, I would think around 3-4k if you get a used transmission, maybe that much if all new parts.

Do you have a build thread?

How do you get a pcm directly for your cars options? Order it from tasca and they set it to your vin or something?

His is a 2013 base with sync, mines a 2014 premium with sync, track apps, heated leather seats and electronics package that has all the neon lights in the cup holder/doors/floorboards and mustang symbol that shines on the ground from the sideview mirrors.

I have a guy willing to swap straight across is why I ask. If my pcm would work with his and his with mine... It'd be a easy swap. Kind of hard to pass up with how everyone hails the 6R80 on here. I'd probably miss shifting pretty bad though. My trans is in great shape and never have had any problems with it... MGW race spec made it even better. Decisions decisions.

Also never swapped a trans before and we'd be doing it in my garage. Won't know what all special tools I'll need to do the swap (if any special tools are required) and how difficult it is.

I'd probably pay for his gas, it's a 4 hour drive. That's the only cost other then buying our own fluids and we'd both need a retune from our tuners.

I found good deals on everything, I did the whole swap for 3400.00 with a circle D converter.

The ford dealership will program the PCM to your car. just find a auto PCM of the same year.

so his 2013 pcm wont interchange with my 2014 pcm?
