About this product

If your 2003 or 2004 Super Duty or Excursion with the 5R110W TorqShift is flaring between gears, slipping when it pulls a trailer, taking its time to go into gear, or leaking from the case, the soft parts inside are usually done. This new banner rebuild kit is listed for the 2003-2004 5R110W and covers the overhaul gaskets and seals, friction plates and filter for a standard rebuild at a lower price than a master kit.

What a banner kit does in a 2003-2004 5R110W

The 5R110W is a five-speed with an extra cold-mode fourth gear, and each clutch except the forward clutch is applied by its own variable force solenoid. There are no shift valves to soften a bad apply, so the frictions and piston seals have to hold exactly what the solenoid asks for. Once the frictions glaze or the seals harden, the computer keeps raising pressure and you feel flares and harsh shifts. A banner kit renews those wear parts across the clutch packs and reseals the pump, drums and case so the rebuilt unit holds pressure again. Hard parts such as steels, bushings and drums are not the focus of this kit.

Symptoms that call for a rebuild

How to confirm it before you order

On early trucks the solenoid body can fool you. The 2003-2004 bodies carry pressure switches with rubber boots that rupture and dump control pressure, which feels exactly like a slipping clutch. Check codes and solenoid function with our 5R110 solenoid guide before tearing the unit down. If the fluid is burnt and debris is present, a rebuild is needed; the 5R110 rebuild wear points guide lists the parts that fail first.

Fitment: why 2003-2004 needs its own kit

This kit is listed for 2003-2004 5R110W transmissions in the F-250 through F-550 Super Duty and Excursion, which arrived with the 6.0L Power Stroke in 2003 and was also used behind gas engines. Early 2003 trucks with the 7.3L diesel used the 4R100 instead. The year cut matters inside the unit: Transmission Digest documents that the 2003-2004 forward clutch uses 90-tooth frictions, while 2005 and later units went to 76 teeth with a new front planetary. If your early transmission was ever updated with the 2005 planetary package, it needs the later frictions, so count the teeth on an old forward plate before you order. Engine and PTO options can change plate counts, so match what comes out, or send us your year and VIN. The full lineup is on our 5R110 TorqShift parts page.

5R110W Banner Rebuild Kit 2003-2004: common questions

Will this kit fit a 2005 or later 5R110W?

No. In 2005 Ford changed the forward clutch from 90-tooth to 76-tooth frictions and redesigned the front planetary. Use a kit listed for your year range.

My 2004 was rebuilt before. How do I know which kit it needs now?

Count the teeth on an old forward friction. If it has 76 teeth, the unit was updated with the 2005 front planetary package and needs the later kit. If it has 90, this kit is the correct one.

What is the difference between a banner kit and a master kit?

A banner kit has the gaskets, seals, friction plates and filter. A master kit adds more parts such as steels, bushings and pistons. If your steels and bushings measure good, the banner kit covers the soft parts at a lower cost.

Should I replace the solenoid body during the rebuild?

Test it at minimum. Every clutch except the forward clutch is applied by its own solenoid, so a weak solenoid will make new frictions slip. Early bodies also have pressure switch boots that rupture.

What fluid should I use after the rebuild?

Mercon SP, or Mercon LV, which Ford authorizes for complete refill and top-off on the 5R110W. Mercon and Mercon V are not acceptable.
