Auto Trans Gasket 16-17 Ford 6R80

The Auto Trans Gasket 16-17 Ford 6R80 is a precision transmission pan gasket engineered for late-model Ford vehicles equipped with the 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission. This MAHLE ORIGINAL/CLEVITE gasket is essential for anyone performing transmission service, pan removal, or fluid replacement on 2016–2017 Ford platform trucks and muscle cars. Whether you're a professional technician managing fleet maintenance or an automotive enthusiast tackling a transmission rebuild, this gasket ensures a reliable, leak-free seal between the transmission pan and the main case.

Manufactured from aluminum with a precise 0.065-inch thickness, this gasket is designed to withstand the pressures and thermal cycles inherent in automatic transmission operation while maintaining structural integrity across repeated assembly and disassembly cycles. The flat, dimensionally stable design—measuring 15 by 23.75 inches—ensures proper seating against both the pan and transmission case surfaces, eliminating the risk of cross-threading or compression loss over time. MAHLE's engineering standards guarantee chemical compatibility with Ford Motorcraft ATF and equivalent synthetic transmission fluids, preventing degradation or swelling that compromises seal performance. The lightweight construction (0.434 lbs) facilitates easy handling during installation without sacrificing durability.

This gasket fits 2016–2017 Ford models powered by the 5.0L Boss V8, 3.7L Ecoboost V6, 7.3L Godzilla V8, and 5.2L Voodoo V8 engines paired with the 6R80 transmission architecture. Proper installation requires torquing the pan bolts to Ford specifications in a star pattern to ensure even gasket compression and eliminate low spots that invite fluid seepage. Always use a new gasket for each transmission service—reusing old gaskets risks compromised sealing surfaces and potential transmission fluid loss during operation. Technicians should clean pan and case surfaces thoroughly with brake cleaner and allow complete drying before installation for maximum gasket adhesion.
