 Introduction
This is a 6-speed electronically controlled transmission .
This transmission includes:
• Torque converter with an integral converter clutch
• Electronic shift and pressure controls
• Single planetary gear-set
• Double (Ravigneaux) planetary gear-set
• Two holding multi-disc clutch sets
• Three driving multi-plate clutch sets
• One one-way holding clutch
• Valve body unit
The (6) forward gears and one reverse gear are obtained from (2) planetary gear sets.
The valve body assembly with solenoids inside the transmission and is controlled by a PCM for
gas engine applications and a Transmission Control Module (TCM) for diesel engine applications
located outside the transmission.
In the event of a system fault, the PCM or TCM also provides for Failure Mode Effect Management
to maintain maximum functional operation of the transmission with a minimum power reduction.
In the event of a total loss of control or electrical power, the basic transmission functions P, R, N
and D are retained.
Also 5th gear is retained by the hydraulic system.

 Solenoid Body Strategy
The solenoid body strategy is a file programmed into the PCM or TCM.

The solenoid body tag on the transmission case contains the 13-digit solenoid body strategy and
the 8-digit solenoid body identification.
 Valve Body / Solenoid Replacement
Anytime a new valve body is installed, a new solenoid body strategy file is downloaded into
the PCM or TCM using a capable scan tool. A replacement solenoid body tag is supplied with the
new solenoid body which contains the 13-digit solenoid body strategy and the 8-digit solenoid
body identification. The new tag is placed over the original solenoid body tag.

If the solenoid body strategy printed on the tag on the solenoid body does not match the
solenoid body tag on the side of the transmission case, a new valve body must be installed
and the solenoid body strategy must be downloaded into the PCM or TCM or harsh shifts
will result.
 Valve Body / Solenoid Replacement
1. Using the scan tool, select Module Programming and Programmable Parameters then select
transmission. Follow the instructions displayed on the scan tool.
There are fields to enter the solenoid body eight-digit identification and thirteen-digit strategy
recorded from the tag on the main control.
2. NOTICE: If the solenoid body information is not correct, transmission damage or driveability
concerns can occur. Enter the solenoid body identification and strategy.
The scan tool verifies numbers entered are valid and displays a message if the information is not
valid. The scan tool checks to see if the file is present on the scan tool.
If the file is present, the technician may proceed with downloading the file to the PCM or
Transmission Control Module (TCM). If the file is not present, connect the scan tool to the
Professional Technician Society (PTS) server to download the file onto the scan tool or
www.motorcraft.com.
3. Verify the file is present on the scan tool. If the file is present, go to Step 8. If the file is not
present, continue with this procedure.
4. Connect the scan tool to the PTS server. The screen displays a progress bar when connecting
to the network.
5. Follow the instructions on the network to download the strategy file to the scan tool.
 Valve Body / Solenoid Replacement
6. If the scan tool cannot connect to the PTS server, download the file from www.motorcraft.com.
If the scan tool cannot download a strategy from the web site, a partial strategy is downloaded
automatically.
7. Reconnect the scan tool to the vehicle.
8. Follow the instructions displayed on the scan tool.
9. If a new main control was installed, clean the existing solenoid strategy tag on the
transmission case and cover It with the replacement solenoid body tag provided with the main
control service kit.
The scan tool automatically downloads the strategy file or partial strategy file to the PCM or TCM.
The scan tool displays a message when its finished downloading the data stating the file was
downloaded successfully.
10. NOTICE: If the adaptive drive cycle has not been performed, the customer may feel erratic
shifts and driveability concerns. Perform the adaptive drive cycle.
Refer to Shift Point Road Test in this section.
 Solenoid Replacement
The solenoids are calibrated from the factory and are not all the same. There are (2) types of
solenoids, normally high and normally low solenoids.

The solenoids can be replaced separately, but only with the same type of solenoid. The
replacement solenoid band number must match the band number of the solenoid being replaced.

The band number is printed on the side of the solenoid and will be a 2, 3, 4 or 5.

 Solenoid Removal
It is recommended to use a scribe or electronic etching tool to mark the solenoids.

This will ensure the proper placement after removal.

To remove the valve body, remove the nine (9) bolts shown in the picture on the left.
To separate the valve body remove the two different size bolts shown in the picture on the right.

 Input Shaft Sealing Ring Replacement
Using a suitable tool, remove the 4 solid input shaft and 1 Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) Teflon®
sealing ring.
 Input Shaft Sealing Ring Replacement
Inspect the overdrive (4,5,6) clutch cylinder and input shaft assembly for damage.

Inspect the bushing surfaces, Teflon® seal surfaces, ring gear and bushing surfaces for excessive
wear or damage.

If damage or excessive wear is found, install new components as necessary.

 Input Shaft Sealing Ring Replacement
Install the Input Shaft Teflon® Seal Sizer on the input shaft and adjust it so the bottom edge is
lined up just above the top edge of the bottom Teflon® seal groove.
Lubricate the Input Shaft Teflon® Seal Sizer with clean transmission fluid and install a new
Teflon® seal by sliding it down the Input Shaft Teflon® Seal Sizer into the groove.
Adjust the Input Shaft Teflon® Seal Sizer and install the remaining (3) input shaft Teflon® seals
into the grooves.
Lubricate the Input Shaft Teflon® Seal Sizer with clean transmission fluid and install it over the
Teflon® seals to size the seals. Do the same procedure on the other side of the drum.

 Output Shaft Nut Removal
The output shaft nut is coated with Loctite® from the factory, then tightened to 150 lb. ft.
(about 200 Nm). Failure to loosen the Loctite® by applying heat to the output shaft nut can cause
damage to the output shaft nut socket.
NOTICE: Make sure to clean any debris from the Loctite® that may have fallen into the
transmission case when removing the output shaft nut. Failure to clean the debris can result
in transmission fluid or filter contamination or damage to the transmission.
Fixed flange/Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) shown, slip yoke similar. Apply heat to the output shaft nut
to soften the Loctite®. Using the output shaft nut socket, remove the output shaft nut.
 Output Shaft Nut Removal
You need to remove this nut to service the low/reverse piston assembly and the rear case seal.
The output nut tool is identical to the Torqshift (5R110W) nut just bigger. This nut requires the
special tool and lots of heat.

The output shaft nut socket is available from Ford, part number #307-649, for about $250 to $300.
Although, you can find them through the aftermarket for much less.

#307-649
 Other Tools Required
This unit weighs in at a hefty 350 lbs. (almost 160 kilos) with the torque converter installed. This is
slightly heavier than the LCT 1000 which weights in at 330 lbs. (150 kilos).
Now we can muscle this unit around and risk injuries, or we can take a few minutes and put some
tools together that are going to make working on this unit easy and, more importantly safe.

Use an engine hoist

to get this unit on the
bench for a teardown
 Other Tools Required
The input drum assembly must be installed into the transmission as a unit. Using the engine hoist
to install this assembly will also be much easier and safe.

The easier way to assemble this unit is to stand it on end.

You can use an old Allison case as a stand.

Ford has a special lifting fixture, tool #307-651, for this operation.

#307-651
 Other Tools Required
A duplicate tool can be made fairly quickly with a piece of square tubing, an eye bolt,
and two pieces of flat steel.

 One Way Clutch (Diode)
A Ford-patented, rocker one-way clutch (diode) is integrated in the carrier to improve
1-2 shift quality through the gear-set
 Torque Converter
Note the spline on the converter hub much like a Honda transmission. There is also an internal
spline to drive a PTO gear.
The PTO is splined to the engine in this arrangement and spins constantly whenever the engine
runs. This eliminates the need to apply another clutch or the torque converter clutch to engage
the PTO gear.
As you can see here the converter is no lightweight either.
