. In the 5R110 the direct clutch pack has been the topic of so many discussions. A sheer break typically occurs with excessive power or the rapid loading and unloading of the transmission. It is also a well know fact that the intermediate shaft on these will fracture and sheer completely causing catastrophic failure within the unit. This is especially true when towing heavy loads or under moderate to hard acceleration. When these shafts due break the collateral damage as a result can be very expensive.
This shaft is manufactured using 300m steel that has been heat treated for increased strength and reliability. Ford Torqshift 5R110 Transmission Overview In order to keep up with the heavy duty requirements created by Ford's new 6. In the SunCoast Category 4 5R110 transmission rebuild kit we upgrade the intermediate shaft to a precision machined billet steel shaft. Streetside Tools is trusted by professional mechanics and transmission repairs shops worldwide for our automatic transmission tools, transmission parts, and transmission repair kits. These kits feature the same technology and parts that we use in our in house transmission builds. The 5R110 transmission relies on the center support to also apply fluid feed to the direct and forward clutches.
What is a Core Charge? Any custom pistons or pressure plates required are included in our kits. The center support acts as a stabilizer, just as our lower back and abdominal muscles support us. When this distortion occurs, the fluid feed holes for direct and forward can become misaligned. When companies like Alto Products or Raybestos Powertrain are looking for information on how to design the latest performance clutches and steels, they come to us at RevMax to help design them. The Torqshift design, in fact, has a total of six forward gears ratios, however only 5 are advertised. We are proud to offer the best rebuilding kits for your diesel transmission that money can buy.
The Torqshift was also used with the 6. With the Ford 5R110 transmission being such a long unit, over time the torsional flexing distorts the case, and the center support can sag and become displaced. The Torqshift was also Ford's first attempt at adaptive control. In the beginning we modified the direct clutch solenoid. Ford's 5R110 Torqshift transmission's fluid lines and a larger stock transmission oil cooler help keep the transmission fluid temp in the normal even during extremly heavy duty applications. With the center support now being corrected, we move your attention to the most problematic area of the 5R110, the direct clutch. We have alleviated this with our new no walk center support.
The clutches and steels are RevMax designed and then manufactured by either Raybestos or Alto to our exact specifications. The aeromet input shaft is much stronger than the Vascomax material. This converter is a multi disk design with three friction surfaces and has much more holding power. Our tools and parts are used worldwide for rebuilding general to high performance automatic transmissions. Today many companies still sell these altered solenoids to try to correct a direct clutch issue. It will also minimize shifts and maximize the available torque. This 5R110 billet intermediate shaft has also had the radius increased in critical load areas to withstand the additional loads.
The level four 5R110W comes with a Transgo Reprogramming Kit for better shifts. We do this as some customers do not want these parts and others do. The other clutch sets are Alto Red Eagle lining. Our team of transmission repair and machining experts are well versed in transtool systems and manufacture the best in quality and class transmission repair tools. These designs are then tested here, in house at RevMax and then sold around the world by many of the other so called innovators that claim to have designed these parts. The direct clutch pack is constantly subjected to conditions that can prematurely wear. To make routine transmission maintenance easier, Ford's 5R110 transmissions feature a spin-off style oil filter that is mounted on the passenger-side exterior of the transmission.
The center support on a transmission is a critical component that could make the difference between success or failure. This transmission was later replaced with the much larger and more robust 6R140 when the 6. Many automotive parts have a Core Charge, or Core Price, that works the same way as a soda can deposit. In many states, to promote recycling, you are charged a deposit when you purchase a can of soda and you receive your deposit back when you return the empty can. This added streangth helps resists sheer breaking which so common in the 5R110 transmission due to the smaller shaft size. Moving forward the direct clutch pack is still one of the most abused clutch packs within the transmission. The direct clutch pack has been a problem child for some time now.
These overhaul kits contain all of the gaskets, o-rings, seals sealing rings and small parts required to completely overhaul your transmission properly. Plus you get our Billet Overdrive Planet Gear, Billet Intermediate Shaft, Billet Rear Ring Gear Hub and a Derale extra deep Cooler Pan. 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 clutch and steel modules are all designed to be assembled within clearance tolerances out of the box, however it is crucial that all clearances are checked and recorded. New to the 5R110 is the transmissions TorqShift adpative shift function, which monitors the TorqShift's performance over its lifetime, and adjusts the 5R110 transmissions shift pressures in real time to ensure consistent shift feel for the driver and compensate for wear. The Torqshift also utilizes an optional 4th gear, which is 1. We did this as a result of the fluid flow issues we were seeing, trying to compensate for what we would later find out was the center support walking.
It is imperative that you select a highly qualified installer or be extremely competent with the rebuilding process of your transmission. The kit components have been meticulously selected by our technicians to get you the best parts money can buy. Planetary washer kits, bushing kits, bearing kits and other user option items are not included but available for purchase separately on our website. RevMax does not warranty any rebuild kit components as we cannot control the installers quality of work or knowledge. This is our strongest 5R110W transmission.
