Superior Transmission Parts, Inc. Unveils STL-6R80 TransLab Engineered® Valve Body Upgrade Kit

TALLAHASSEE, FL — Superior Transmission Parts, Inc., a global leader in innovative transmission solutions, is proud to announce the release of the STL-6R80 TransLab Engineered® Valve Body Upgrade Kit (VBU™). Designed for the Ford 6R60, 6R75, 6R80, and 6R100 series across all generations, this kit also retrofits ZF6HP19, ZF6HP26, and ZF6HP32 (Gen 1) units, providing a comprehensive solution for modern transmission challenges.

The STL-6R80 kit is engineered to “Update, Correct, and Prevent” common hydraulic failures without the need for expensive reaming tools.

It features Superior’s exclusive Flow~Corrected® and Steady~Stream® technology, which restores hydraulic circuit integrity to the Main Pressure Regulator and Solenoid Regulator valves.

Key Features and Benefits of the STL-6R80 include:

  • The Complete Lock-Up Fix®: Effectively eliminates TCC chatter, slippage, and overheating issues.
  • Dual Spring Options: Includes both Standard duty and Heavy Duty/High Performance (HD/HP) TCC spring options to suit various driving needs.
  • Proprietary Real~Steel End Plugs: Features O-ringed end plugs that seal critical leaks at the end of the valve body.
  • No Ream Installation: Designed to add value to any build by allowing technicians to correct harsh or erratic shifts and error codes without specialized machining.
  • Broad Compatibility: Fits Ford 6R series and early ZF 6-speed units, addressing AFL/EPC pressure loss and flow concerns.

“At Superior, we are known as the ‘problem solvers’ of the transmission industry,” said a company spokesperson. “The STL-6R80 represents our commitment to providing ‘The Simple Solution’ for technicians, ensuring rebuilt units stay out of the shop and in the customer’s driveway”.
