5R110W Transmission Part Categories
In order to keep up with the heavy duty requirements created by Ford's new 6.0L diesel engine, Ford Motors replaced the 4-speed automatic transmission in the 2003 model year Ford Super Duty truck to the new 5-speed Torqshift 5R110 automatic transmission. 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.
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. 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.
The 5R110 was Ford's first automatic transmission to feature a PTO. The 5R110 transmission can be equipped with an integrated PTO provision that automatically locks the torque converter which provides power to the PTO gear once the operator flips the PTO switch.
