About this product

If your 2009 Ford Super Duty with the 5R110W TorqShift has started slipping in reverse, will not hold in manual first, or came apart with a damaged low one-way clutch, you are probably shopping for the rear clutch assembly rather than a pile of loose plates. This listing is a used OEM 5R110W clutch module pulled for 2009 applications. The photo shows a planetary-and-clutch stack beside a ring gear, which is how the late-design rear section of this transmission comes apart.

What the clutch module does in a 2009 5R110W

Behind the center support, the 5R110W uses a rear planetary gearset, a low one-way clutch and a multi-plate low/reverse clutch. The one-way clutch holds the rear planet carrier in first gear in Drive, and the low/reverse clutch holds the same carrier when you select manual first or reverse, so engine braking and backing up both depend on it. Transmission Digest reports that in late 2008 Ford began permanently attaching the low one-way clutch to the rear planet, dropped both planet thrust washers, and made the low/reverse clutch plates part of that assembly. A 2009 unit is squarely in that later design, which is why the clutch pack, one-way clutch and planet are now serviced as a module instead of piece by piece.

The same article lists the separate Ford service assemblies: 9C3Z-7D006B for the five-plate low/reverse pack used behind the 5.4L gas engine, and 9C3Z-7D006AB for the six-plate pack used with the 6.8L V10 and the diesel. Count the plates in your old assembly and match that count.

Symptoms that point to this assembly

Sonnax explains the retaining ring failure on this unit: the pressure plate moves in the case under reverse load and walks the ring out of its groove, leading to reverse slip and eventually no reverse or manual first. Ford answered with a redesigned ring that has rolled-out ends, so install the current-style ring with any rebuild.

How to confirm it before you buy

Check fluid level and condition first, then read live data for commanded gear against actual ratio. A slip only in reverse and manual first points rearward to this assembly; a slip on the 2-3 or 3-4 shift points to other clutches or the solenoid body. Our 5R110 rebuild wear points guide walks through what fails in each section, and the 5R110 shift solenoid guide covers the electrical faults that mimic a slipping clutch.

Fitment

This assembly is listed for 2009 5R110W transmissions, used in 2009 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks with the 6.4L Power Stroke diesel and the 5.4L and 6.8L gas engines. The five-plate versus six-plate split matters, and earlier 2003-2008 units with separate planet thrust washers need the stack-up checked before a late assembly goes in. Match the plate count and the parts on your old assembly, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. Other years are on our 5R110W parts page.

Install notes

Transmission Digest describes the check for a late assembly going into an earlier case: drop in the rear ring gear and bearing, set the one-way clutch and planet assembly, install the retaining ring, and confirm ring gear travel is well over 1/16 inch before measuring the rest of the stack. Inspect the frictions and soak any replacement plates in fluid before assembly, and set low/reverse clearance to the service spec. Refill with Mercon SP. While the rear section is apart, a new 2009 5R110W sun shell is worth replacing if its splines are worn, and a 5R110W master rebuild kit covers the seals and gaskets you will disturb.

5R110W Clutch Module 2009: common questions

Will this fit a 2005 or 2007 5R110W?

Possibly, but not automatically. Earlier units used planet thrust washers and a separate one-way clutch, so the endplay stack-up has to be checked before a late assembly goes in. Send your year and VIN and we will tell you whether it is a direct match.

How do I know if I need the five-plate or six-plate version?

Count the low/reverse frictions in your old assembly. The 5.4L gas trucks use five plates; the 6.8L V10 and diesel trucks use six. Order the one that matches your count.

What fluid does a 2009 5R110W take?

Mercon SP. Do not top off with Mercon V or a generic multi-vehicle fluid after an internal repair.

What should I replace at the same time?

Use the current rolled-end low/reverse retaining ring, new seals and gaskets from a rebuild kit, and inspect the sun shell and rear ring gear splines. Flush the cooler and lines so old clutch debris does not return to the new parts.

Do I need a relearn after the repair?

Clear codes and drive the truck through all gears with light and moderate throttle so the computer can adapt shift timing to the new clutch. Ford dealers and many shops can also reset the transmission adaptive tables with a scan tool.
