5R110W Governor Pressure Solenoid, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 5R110W. Ships fast from the USA.
A lot of Super Duty owners land here after searching for a 5R110W governor pressure solenoid, usually because a shop quote or a forum post blamed one solenoid for a slipping shift, a hard downshift, or a limp-mode episode while towing. The TorqShift does not actually use a governor, and this listing is not a single solenoid either. The photo shows a remanufactured 5R110W solenoid body, the aluminum control casting with its full set of solenoids already fitted. It is the right part when more than one shift is misbehaving or when the codes point at several clutches at once, and it is far cheaper than a complete valve body swap.
The 5R110W was built from the start as an electronic five-speed for heavy trucks. Instead of a governor and shift valves, the PCM runs everything through variable-force solenoids. Sonnax's identification chart shows how the work is divided: five shift solenoids (SSPC-A through SSPC-E) each feed one clutch, a TCC solenoid controls converter lockup, and PC-A sets line pressure. Some of those solenoids are directly proportional and some are inversely proportional, which means a solenoid that loses its signal can fail toward full pressure or toward none depending on which one it is. That is why one tired casting can produce a harsh shift in one gear and a flare in the next.
Not every solenoid code is a solenoid. Transmission Digest has documented a 5R110W that lost second and sixth gear and set B clutch solenoid codes because a remanufactured pump was missing its clutch B bleed filter, with nothing wrong in the solenoids at all. Before you replace the casting, check fluid level hot, look for burnt friction material in the pan, test circuit resistance at the case connector, and compare commanded and actual ratios on a scan tool. Our 5R110 solenoid testing guide lists what each code means, and the TorqShift service guide covers fluid checks and adaptive resets.
The 5R110W ran from 2003 through 2010 in F-250 to F-550 Super Duty trucks, the Excursion and E-Series vans, behind the 6.0L and 6.4L Power Stroke and the gas V8 and V10 engines. This listing does not name a single model year, and Ford made running changes, including dropping the pressure switches in late 2004 and later harness and filter changes. Match the casting and connector against the unit on your truck, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm before it ships. If you already know your truck is a 2003, the year-specific 2003 solenoid body with harness is the closer match. All other parts for this transmission are on our 5R110W parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It was listed under a common search term. The 5R110W has no governor; shift control comes from seven solenoids in the solenoid body, and this listing is that complete body.
The listing does not specify a year. The 5R110W was used from 2003 to 2010, with running changes, so match your connector and casting or send your year and VIN to confirm.
On a high-mileage truck, yes. Old connectors crack and leak, and plugging new solenoids into a failing harness can bring the codes right back.
It can, but Transmission Digest documented a no-second, no-sixth case caused by a missing clutch B bleed filter in a remanufactured pump. Confirm with a scan tool and pressure checks before you buy.
Refill with Mercon SP, check the level hot, clear codes and reset the transmission adaptive tables, then road test through every gear.
