Stamped steel replacement pan for the Ford 5R110W TorqShift with a built-in drain plug, for a rusted, dented or leaking pan on Super Duty trucks and vans.
If your Super Duty is leaving red spots on the driveway, the pan rail is bent from a rock or a loading ramp, or a road-salt winter has eaten through the bottom of the pan, a gasket will not save it. This is a stamped steel replacement pan for the Ford 5R110W TorqShift, reference numbers 265-822 and 3C3Z-7A194-AA, with a drain plug already fitted. It is listed for F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks, E-350 and E-450 Super Duty vans and the Excursion that used the 5R110W behind the 6.0L or 6.4L Power Stroke or the gas V8 and V10.
The pan is the fluid reservoir for the whole unit. The internal sump filter sits in it, the pump draws through that filter, and every solenoid in the solenoid body depends on that supply staying clean and steady. On a truck that sits this low and works this hard, the pan is also the first thing to get hit. A dent pushed up toward the filter can crowd the pickup, and a pan that seeps slowly lets the level fall until the pump starts pulling air on hard braking, sharp turns or steep grades. A factory pan has no drain plug, so every service means dropping it full. This one lets you drain first, which makes the regular service cleaner and easier to do on schedule.
Clean the pan, rail and case seam with brake cleaner, drive the truck to operating temperature and look again. Fluid that appears at the pan flange first points to the gasket or a bent rail; fluid that appears higher up points to the cooler lines, the remote filter housing or the case connector. Lay a straightedge across the sealing flange. If the rail is bowed between bolt holes, or the bottom has pinholes or heavy rust, replace the pan rather than the gasket. While the pan is off, read what is in it, because clutch material or metal tells you more about the transmission than any scan tool. Our 5R110 TorqShift service guide covers what normal and abnormal pan debris looks like.
This pan replaces the original 3C3Z-7A194-AA design that Ford launched the 5R110W with in 2003. Be careful on later trucks. Beginning in 2008 Ford moved away from the external bypass filter system and went to a redesigned sump filter, and 2008-later units use a deeper pan with a different internal filter. If you have a 2008-2010 6.4L or a late gas truck, compare your old pan to this one or check the part number stamped on it before ordering, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm. Make sure the unit is a 5R110W and not a 4R100 or the later 6R140. You can see every part we carry for this transmission on our 5R110W parts page.
If the pan shows heavy friction material or metal when it comes off, read our 5R110 rebuild wear points guide before you button it back up, because a new pan will not fix worn clutches.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Check before you order. This pan replaces the original 3C3Z-7A194-AA design, and 2008-later 5R110W units moved to a redesigned sump filter with a deeper pan. Compare your old pan or its stamped part number, or send us your year and VIN and we will confirm fitment.
No. The drain plug is installed, but the pan gasket is not included. Order a 5R110W filter kit with it so you replace the sump filter, gasket and O-ring at the same time.
Only part of the total. The converter, cooler and lines stay full, so a pan drain removes well short of the 17.5 quarts Ford lists for a full fill with a remote filter change. Refill to the dipstick with the fluid hot.
The 5R110W was specified with Mercon SP, and Ford's fluid chart authorizes Mercon LV for a complete refill and top off. Do not use Mercon or Mercon V, and do not mix fluids on a partial service.
Yes. A dent pushed up toward the sump filter can restrict the pickup, and a pan that leaks lets the level drop until the pump pulls air on turns, braking or grades. That shows up as whine, delayed engagement, a brief slip or overheating.
Ford's published interval for the 5R110W is fluid and bottom-pan filter every 30,000 miles regardless of operating conditions. On a truck that tows heavy, treat that as a ceiling rather than a target.
