4R70W Tcc Solenoid 2001, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 4R70W. Ships fast from the USA.
This listing is a remanufactured valve body for the 2001 Ford 4R70W, delivered with solenoids installed. It is not a bare torque converter clutch solenoid; it is the hydraulic brain the TCC solenoid bolts to, rebuilt with an updated TCC sleeve. Owners of a 2001 F-150, Expedition, Navigator, Mustang, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis or Town Car usually land here after chasing highway shudder, a converter that unlocks on its own, a soft 2-3 upshift or TCC codes that a new solenoid did not clear.
The PCM grounds two shift solenoids in a fixed on/off pattern to select the four gears, varies current to the EPC solenoid to set line pressure, and switches the TCC solenoid to stroke the converter clutch control valve. Once that valve strokes, the converter clutch applies and engine speed drops to match the transmission at cruise. When the valve or its sleeve wears, apply oil leaks away, so lockup slips, cycles or never happens no matter how good the solenoid is.
On this unit the rebuilder replaced the pressure regulator valve, boost valve and TCC sleeve with updated parts and added the 4th boost update, then ran the finished body on a VBT-4000 tester.
Ford deleted the stiffener plate over the 2-3 accumulator area on 2001-and-later 4R70W, 4R70E, 4R75W and 4R75E valve bodies. Sonnax ties that change to separator plate cracking and cross-leaking, which shows up as soft or inconsistent 2-3 shifts. If your original body has a cracked plate, a new solenoid pack will never fix it. Check the plate when the old body comes out.
Pull codes, then inspect the 8-pin case connector and harness before blaming hydraulics. The resistance specs and pin layout are in our 4R70W shift solenoid symptoms and testing guide. If line pressure will not rise with throttle, read the 4R70W EPC solenoid guide on pressure regulator bore wear. Truck owners can also work through the 4R70W Expedition common problems guide, which covers the same transmission in the full-size platform.
Listed for the 2001 model year. From 2001 through 2008 Ford used a shared molded lead-frame valve body across the 4R70E, 4R70W, 4R75E and 4R75W, so this is not the soft-wire 1996-1997 design or the 2009-later body. Check the solenoid style and 8-pin connector on your old unit, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm. Other years are in the 4R70W collection.
If the fluid smells burnt and carries clutch material, the converter or clutches may also be damaged; replace the valve body together with that repair, not instead of it.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Yes. The valve body comes with solenoids installed, including the converter clutch solenoid, and the TCC sleeve inside the body has been replaced with an updated part.
Ford used a shared molded lead-frame valve body from 2001 to 2008, so later units in that range are likely matches, but confirm the solenoid style and connector or send us your VIN before ordering.
On 2001 and later bodies the 2-3 accumulator stiffener plate was deleted, and Sonnax links that to separator plate cracking and cross-leaks. A rebuilt valve body or a support plate repair addresses it; a solenoid does not.
MERCON V. Avoid additive treatments, which Ford cautions against for these transmissions.
Yes. The valve body comes out from under the pan with the transmission in the vehicle. Allow time to clean the pan and fit a new filter and gasket.
