Ill actually post the differences when i get home later. I personally would NOT trust a V6 trans for higher HP applications.
OP make sure you stop telling people the wrong or misleading information.
Are you home yet its been couple of days ?? Waiting on you to post the difference between the v6 6r80 and the v8 6r80?
OkSorry ive been wrapped up with the build of my car and forgot. Ill be home in 15-20 mins ill do it then.
I have the same info and when we took the unit apart it was the same amount of frictions .ill post some pictures tomorrow I have 2 units that were building for customers once a v6 the other a v8
Again the specific situation you had could've been someone that swapped with V8 internals like someone said earlier in this thread but the 2 trans are NOT the same internally just like the info I posted. My point is don't tell people the wrong information. Imagine if someone listened to you and then boosted up to 700HP or so and the trans took a shit because of the lack of extra frictions/plates. Mistakes like that could cost people a lot of money. You have to be more specific about information you give out...
Also here are the part numbers for the V6 6R80 (BR3Z-7000-A) and the GT 6R80 (BR3Z-7000-B) It's not just because of the case/housing differences either.
I took apart a f-150 6r80 and a v6 6r80 their both the same thing illbpost the pic tomorrow .
I dont care about part numbers . Im running a v6 6r80 and its holding up good my car makes a little more than 600 and have no issues . Your proof is all theory dont believe what the internet says
You guys are making a big deal about nothing. OP stated that you can't use the V6 case so the trans has to come apart to even use the V6 parts. Once the trans is apart you can inspect with your own eyes, which if someone had the trans apart they would most likely upgrade the clutches anyways. This wouldn't be for everyone since it would cost a fortune to pay someone to do all the labor and therefore would make more sense to buy a V8 trans. If you can teardown and rebuild a trans yourself this is very good and helpful info. This is just another helpful option for everyone that can do their own work.
What are the differences between the F150 trans vs the 5.0 trans?
