4R75W Clutch Module, new and ready to install. Fits the 4R75W. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 4R75W-equipped F-150, Expedition, Navigator, Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis or Town Car is slipping on the shift into 3rd or overdrive, flaring between gears, or the fluid on the dipstick smells burnt, the friction plates inside the clutch packs are the usual casualty. This 4R75W clutch module is a new friction clutch pack set in Raybestos Clutch-Pack packaging, so you replace the worn frictions as one matched set during the rebuild instead of hunting down plates one clutch at a time.
The 4R75W is the heavier-duty member of Ford's AODE/4R70W family: a 4-speed rear-wheel-drive electronic overdrive automatic that shares its clutch layout with the 4R70W. Power is routed through multi-plate clutches - forward, direct, intermediate and reverse - plus the overdrive band. Each clutch stacks lined friction plates between steel plates, and hydraulic pressure on a piston squeezes the stack so it can transmit torque. Raybestos describes its Hybrid Technology module for this family (RHT96-031) as a single box holding the direct, intermediate and forward/reverse frictions a rebuild needs, which is the job this module does: one set covering the friction side of the overhaul.
The clutch that wears hardest in this unit is the direct clutch. It applies on the 2-3 shift and stays applied through 4th, so on a truck that tows, or a fleet car that idles and then runs hard, it carries load in both top gears.
New frictions will not fix a hydraulic fault, and on this family several hydraulic faults burn clutches. Before you order, check fluid level and condition hot, note exactly which gears slip, and gauge line pressure at idle and at stall against the factory spec. Sonnax documents worn pressure regulator valves causing low base line pressure, soft shifts and forward or direct clutch failure across the 4R70W, 4R75W and AODE units. Post-2001 valve bodies can also blow the separator gasket at the forward/direct circuit junction. Our 4R70W/4R75W 3-4 clutch failure guide walks through all four root causes, and the Expedition shift problem guide covers diagnosis on the full-size SUVs.
This listing is for the Ford 4R75W. Raybestos catalogs its standard 4R70W friction module (RCP96-108) as fitting the 4R75W from 1994 through 2008, but friction parts in this family changed during production, and early 4R70W units used a different forward friction. Before ordering, compare plate count, tooth count and outside diameter with the plates you pull, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm it. Browse every part for this unit on the 4R70W/4R75W transmission page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is a friction clutch pack set. If your steels are heat-blued, warped or glazed, replace them as well or buy a master rebuild kit that includes frictions and steels.
The 4R70W and 4R75W share the clutch layout, and Raybestos lists its standard module for both. Friction parts did change by year, so compare the plates you remove or send us your year and VIN before ordering.
A 3-4 slip with clean 1st and 2nd points at the direct clutch, which this module covers. Check line pressure, the valve body gasket and the accumulator pistons too, or new frictions will burn the same way.
Ford specifies MERCON V. Do not use MERCON LV or ULV in a transmission that calls for MERCON V.
At least 30 minutes in clean MERCON V before assembly, so the lining is fully saturated when the clutch first applies.
