We also go a step further with this and make a new Mag-Hytec pan standard to increase the rigidity of the case and reduce torsional flexing. SunCoast has developed a new No Walk Center Support to correct this issue, which we include in this kit.

This will also lead to premature failure and burnt clutches. This is especially true when towing heavy loads or under moderate-to-hard acceleration. When this distortion occurs, the fluid feed holes for direct and forward can become misaligned. The TorqShift relies on the center support to also apply fluid feed to the direct and forward clutches. With the TorqShift being such a long unit, over time, the torsional flexing distorts the case, and the center support can sag and become displaced. The center support acts as a stabilizer, just as our lower back and abdominal muscles support us. The center support on a transmission is a critical component that could make the difference between success or failure. The updated retaining ring provides increased outward tension which increases rigidity helping keep the ring seated securely in the case groove. SunCoast replaces this retaining ring with an updated one that is much wider and thicker. This causes clutch slippage in reverse and due to radial movement in the pressure plate the retaining ring will walk right out of its groove. On both really and late model 5R110 transmissions a common failure is that the low/reverse retaining ring pops out of the case groove. This transmission was later replaced with the much larger and more robust 6R140 when the 6.7L Powerstroke was released by Ford. The Torqshift was also used with the 6.4L as well. The adaptive control shift function monitors the performance over its lifetime and adjusts shift times in real time to assure consistency and to compensate for wear. The Torqshift was also Ford's first attempt at adaptive control.
FORD 5R110W TRANSMISSION SPECS DRIVER
Upon descent, the tow/haul feature utilizes engine braking to help extend the life of the transmission and improves driver control. It will also minimize shifts and maximize the available torque. With the Torqshift, once the Tow / Haul mode is activated, it can help increase driver control when towing large loads up and down steep grades. The Torqshift also utilizes an optional 4th gear, which is 1.10, that is used in cold start conditions to aid in engine and transmission warm up. The 5 forward ratios are: 3.11, 2.22, 1.55, 1.00, and finally overdrive is. The "hidden gear" is only used in very cold weather. The Torqshift design, in fact, has a total of six forward gears ratios, however only 5 are advertised.

The Torqshift 5-speed 5R110 transmission replaces the old faithful 4-speed 4R100 in the 2003 model year with the introduction of the new 6.0L diesel engine. This is the end-all be-all of the 5R110 transmissions.
FORD 5R110W TRANSMISSION SPECS FULL
The pump and valve body on the category 4 Ford 5R110 transmission is also upgraded to our custom full competition specifications. The shaft is then upgraded to Aeromet, and we add a billet intermediate shaft, as well. The transmission starts with a new 9C pump from Ford, then we use all new Ford solenoids. SunCoast engineering team has developed each specific piece to work in conjunction with each other. With the addition of the billet intermediate shaft and upgrading the shaft to Aeromet, there is not a stronger 5R110 transmission you will find anywhere. The SunCoast Category 4 5R110 transmission has it all.
