4R44E Clutch Module 1997-2011, new and ready to install. Fits the 4R44E. Ships fast from the USA.
Shopping for 4R44E clutches because your Ranger, B-Series or Explorer-family truck slips on the 2-3 shift, flares into overdrive or barely pulls in reverse? This 1997-2011 listing is not a single clutch pack. It is a complete super master set that renews every friction pack in the transmission, with the steel plates, gaskets, seals, two bands, two bushings and a 2WD filter in the same box, so the clutch work is done once and the unit is sealed up with all new parts.
The 4R44E is the electronic version of the A4LD: a three-speed gearset with an overdrive unit stacked on the front. Inside are the coast clutch in the overdrive section, plus the direct and forward clutch packs in the main case, and three bands. Each pack is a stack of lined frictions splined to one part and plain steels splined to another; oil pressure behind a piston squeezes the stack and locks the two together. Because the same packs are applied in several gears, one burned stack spreads lining through the whole fluid circuit. That is why a single-pack repair rarely lasts on this unit and why this set replaces every friction and steel.
The rear low/reverse band and the torque converter are not included.
Sonnax ties delayed reverse and burnt direct clutches on this family to a leaking reverse modulator circuit, and lost engine braking to the coast clutch valve. That means a valve body or EPC solenoid fault can cook new clutches just as fast as it cooked the old ones. Pull the pan and look at the fluid and magnet, scan for codes, and test line pressure before you commit. Our harsh or delayed shift walkthrough covers the order of checks, and the slipping diagnosis guide explains how to tell a slip from a control problem.
Listed for the 4R44E, 5R44E and 5R55E from 1997 to 2011 in Ford, Lincoln, Mazda and Mercury rear-drive applications that use the 2WD filter. Four-wheel-drive units take a deeper filter and a different rear housing, so check drivetrain first. The 1995-1996 4R44E is an earlier build; this set starts at 1997. Do not mix this family up with the 5R55W and 5R55S, which share the name but not the internals. Read the transmission code on the door label, then send us your year, drivetrain and VIN if you want a fitment check. Everything else for the family is on our 5R55 and 4R44E parts page.

The whole transmission. It includes frictions and steels for every clutch pack, plus the overhaul gasket and seal set, overdrive and intermediate bands, two bushings and a 2WD filter.
It is listed with the 2WD filter. Four-wheel-drive units use a deeper filter and different rear housing, so send us your year, drivetrain and VIN before ordering for a 4x4.
No. The low/reverse band and the torque converter are not in this set. Replace the reverse band if the lining is glazed, cracked or worn to the rivets.
MERCON V, which superseded the original MERCON fluid in this family. Do not mix fluid types unless the bottle is labeled for both.
Only if the clutches are the cause. A leaking EPC or reverse modulator circuit causes the same symptom and will burn new frictions, so check line pressure and the valve body before the rebuild.
