This TransGo
5R110W-A SHIFT KIT® Transmission Repair Kit fits 2003 and later Ford
vehicles equipped with the 5R110W automatic transmission. Common
complaints with this transmission are run-away reverse pressure, case
lug blow out, no movement, slips or no reverse, neutralize at stops as
well as converter clutch slippage or codes.
The pressure regulator (PR) valve is prone to sticking it its bore in
part due to the pump casting distortion. When the PR valve sticks in
the exhaust position, naturally there will be low or no line pressure.
If the PR valve sticks in the exhaust position while engaging forward or
reverse the driver will intuitively rev the engine up to see if the
transmission is in gear or not. The increase in engine RPM’s will cause a
surge in pump volume that can cause a dangerous pump pressure spike.
If the lever is in the reverse range, this pressure spike will blow
out the low reverse clutch case lugs. On the other hand, if the lever is
in the drive position it will create a neutral drop condition and
damage the low diode assembly resulting in a no forward condition. Also,
in hard working vehicles the converter clutch apply pressure is
insufficient from factory, resulting in TC clutch slippage or codes.
Features and benefits:
This kit includes a patented pending drop in two-piece hardened steel
pressure regulator valve that allows for some distortion of the pump
casting thereby reducing the PR valve from sticking. In addition, the
provided pressure control solenoid pressure limit system prevents the
EPC solenoid pressure from reaching dangerous levels should the solenoid
mechanically malfunction which would result in run-away high line
pressure. Additionally, our research has proven that the TC clutch apply
pressure was set to low from the factory to handle a highly loaded down
vehicle. The converter clutch regulator spring provided increases the
TC clutch apply pressure to prevent slippage and performance codes.
Lastly the included high-tension low/reverse case snap ring will save
the case if it the snap ring groove is worn out.
