About this product

When a 6.0L or 6.4L Power Stroke truck starts flaring between gears, goes into failsafe with the Tow/Haul light blinking, or logs P2700-series apply-time codes, the TorqShift's solenoids are the first suspects. This listing is a remanufactured set of all seven 5R110W solenoids, each ohm-tested, offered for 2004-2017 Ford trucks and vans with the 5R110W. The listing references Ford numbers 3C3Z-7J136-AB and 3C3Z-7J136-BA. It is a full replacement set for the solenoid body, not a valve body recalibration kit, even though the store title calls it a shift kit.

How the solenoids run a 5R110W

Older Ford automatics used shift valves in a valve body. The 5R110W does it differently: its solenoid body holds variable-force solenoids that feed each clutch directly, so solenoid output is the shift. Sonnax's function chart assigns SSPC-A to the coast clutch, SSPC-B to overdrive, SSPC-C to intermediate, and the rest of the set to the direct and low/reverse clutches, line pressure and the converter clutch. Some respond in direct proportion to current and some inversely, which is why one weak solenoid can cause a slipping shift on one truck and a harsh bang on another.

The set covers three solenoid styles that look nearly identical. Gears Magazine documents how rebuilders sort them by the position of the ID marks on the snout and by whether the back of the solenoid is stepped or flat. Keep that in mind when you install: each style has its own bores.

Symptoms that point to the solenoids

Diagnose before you replace

Pull every code and look at fluid temperature first. An apply-time code says the clutch did not apply on schedule, which can be a solenoid, a cross leak or a worn clutch. Electrical codes deserve a harness check, because a damaged connector or wiring will set solenoid faults on perfectly good parts. With the pan down, look for clutch material and check each solenoid's resistance against spec. Our 5R110 solenoid symptoms and testing guide matches each code to its solenoid, and the TorqShift service guide covers the pump and pressure regulator wear that can mimic solenoid failure.

Fitment

The set is listed for 2004-2017 Ford applications with the 5R110W, including F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks. Super Duty pickups switched to the 6R140 for 2011, so later years in this range apply only to vehicles that kept the 5R110W, such as some E-Series and medium-duty trucks; confirm the transmission tag before ordering. Early bodies also differ. Sonnax notes that original solenoid bodies carried one or five pressure switches depending on year and that Ford dropped them in late 2004, so a 2004 truck may have either style. If in doubt, send us your year and VIN. Other parts for this unit are on the 5R110W TorqShift collection page.

5R110W Shift Kit 2004-2017: common questions

Is this a shift kit or a solenoid set?

It is a remanufactured set of all seven 5R110W solenoids, ohm-tested before shipping. It is not a valve body recalibration shift kit.

Will it fit my 2006 F-350 with the 6.0L?

Yes, 2006 Super Duty trucks with the 6.0L Power Stroke use the 5R110W and fall inside this 2004-2017 listing. Send us your VIN if you want it confirmed.

Why replace all seven solenoids instead of one?

Each clutch is controlled by its own solenoid, and they all share the same heat and mileage. Replacing the set restores balanced pressure control and avoids chasing one failure after another.

What fluid should I use after installing?

Ford authorizes MERCON LV for refill and top-off on the 5R110W. Check the level with the fluid hot and the engine running.

Do I need a relearn after installing the solenoids?

Yes. Clear the codes and reset or relearn the transmission adaptives, then drive the truck through all shifts so the computer adapts to the new solenoids.
