4R75W Clutch Drum 1992, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 4R75W. Ships fast from the USA.
If the 4R75W in your F-150, Expedition, E-Series van or other heavy Ford rear-drive vehicle has started slipping into third, lost its 3-4 shift, or came apart with a cracked drum and a burnt pack, this remanufactured clutch drum is a direct replacement casting to rebuild around. Read the fitment section below before you order: the listing carries a 1992 date, and that date matters for how you match it.
The 4R75W is the higher-capacity member of Ford's 4R70W family, and it keeps the family layout that started with the AODE. There are three rotating drums. The forward drum is splined to the input shaft and applies the forward clutch in first, second and third. The direct drum is turned by a short intermediate stub shaft and applies the direct clutch in third and fourth. The reverse/overdrive drum sits at the front with the overdrive band wrapped around it. Every drum carries its own piston, return spring and clutch stack, and each one only holds as well as its sealing ring bores and bushing let it hold apply oil.
Both the forward and direct drums have a history. Sonnax describes forward drum breakage as chronic across the AOD, AODE and 4R70W series. It also documents the original direct drum stripping its splines at the stub shaft and the stub shaft itself breaking. On a 4R75W, which is usually behind a heavier truck or van doing real work, those weak spots get loaded harder than they do in a car.
Find out which clutch is failing first. Slip in the lower three gears is a forward clutch problem, while slip or neutral in third and fourth is the direct side. Then find out why it burned. Transmission Digest covers a 4R75E that came in slipping in third because the bottom of the 2-3 accumulator piston had blown out and let forward clutch oil partly apply the direct clutch. Gears Magazine ties third clutch failures on this family to work vehicles and to pressure faults such as EPC and MAF problems. Our 4R70W 3-4 clutch failure guide walks through the pressure and accumulator checks, and the Expedition common problems guide covers the full-size SUV faults that tend to come with it.
This drum is listed as a 4R75W clutch drum for 1992. Be clear on what that means. The 4R75W was not built in 1992; it is a later heavy-duty version of the 4R70W. A 1992 date on this family points to the early AODE-era drum design that the 4R70W and 4R75W grew out of. The family was revised several times, and ATRA notes the forward drum went from one apply hole to three for 2004, so a late 4R75W may not take an early drum. Before you install it, set your old drum next to this one and compare the spline count, apply holes, sealing ring bores and overall height. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN before ordering and we will check it. More 4R70W and 4R75W parts are on the 4R70W family collection page, including the 2004 4R75W input drum for later units.
A 2003-2014 overhaul kit covers the frictions and seals for a later 4R75W, and a worn 4R75W pressure control solenoid is worth replacing if line pressure tested low.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It might not. The 4R75W came after 1992, and Ford changed the forward drum apply holes for 2004. Compare your old drum to this one side by side, or send us your year and VIN and we will check it before you order.
The listing only calls it a clutch drum. Match it against your old part by splines, apply holes and sealing ring bores. If you are not sure which drum failed, the gears that slip tell you: first through third is forward, third and fourth is direct.
New frictions, steels, piston seals and sealing rings for that pack at minimum. Also look hard at the stub shaft or input shaft splines and the 2-3 accumulator, because those can burn a new pack too.
MERCON V. Ford's Motorcraft data warns not to use MERCON V where MERCON SP, LV or ULV is specified, so check your owner guide if the truck has been converted or serviced with a different fluid.
There is no drum-specific relearn. Clear any stored codes after the repair and road test it. Disconnecting the battery resets the computer's adaptive values, so the first few shifts may feel different while it relearns.
