About this product

This is for the 2011 to 2014 Ford Super Duty with the 6.7L Power Stroke and 6R140 where the forward clutch is slipping, the truck is lazy pulling away from a stop, or a rebuild turned up a cracked or leaking piston. The listing is titled as a clutch drum, but the part is the new genuine Ford aluminum forward clutch drum piston, part number BC3Z-7A262-D. It is the piston that rides inside the forward/direct drum, not the drum itself.

What the forward clutch piston does in a 6R140

When shift solenoid A sends oil to the forward clutch, this piston moves and clamps the forward pack together. The forward clutch is applied in first, second, third and fourth gear, so the piston is working any time the truck is moving in the lower four ranges. The piston seals are what hold that apply pressure. When a seal hardens, the piston cracks, or the sealing surface wears, oil bleeds past and the pack cannot hold full torque.

Symptoms of a leaking forward clutch piston

That pattern, slipping in 1-4 but solid in 5 and 6, is the clearest sign the problem lives in the forward circuit and not the overdrive or direct clutch.

How to confirm it before buying

Check fluid level and condition hot first, then scan for codes. A weak line pressure command causes the same complaints, so read our 6R140 pressure control solenoid guide and the delayed engagement guide. With the transmission apart, air-check the forward clutch. A hiss from the piston rather than the sealing rings, a crack in the aluminum, or a torn seal lip confirms it. If the rings leak instead, the drum journal or ring bore is the issue.

Fitment

Ford part BC3Z-7A262-D is listed for 2011 to 2014 diesel 6R140 applications in the F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty. Later units and gas units can use different internal parts, so compare your old piston, or give us your year and VIN, before ordering. Browse every 6R140 part on the 6R140 parts page.

6R140 Clutch Drum 2011-14: common questions

Is this a complete clutch drum?

No. It is the forward clutch drum piston only, genuine Ford part BC3Z-7A262-D. The drum, seals for other packs and clutches are sold separately.

What years and engines does it fit?

It is listed for 2011-2014 6R140 diesel applications, the 6.7L Power Stroke Super Duty. Confirm against your old piston or send us your VIN for gas trucks or later years.

What gears does the forward clutch control?

The forward clutch is applied in first through fourth gear. A leak shows up as slipping in those ranges while fifth and sixth stay solid.

What should I replace along with it?

Replace the forward frictions and steels if they show heat, and install new sealing rings and seals from a rebuild kit. Check the drum bore for scoring.

Is a relearn needed after replacing the piston?

Yes. Reset the adaptive tables with a scan tool after refilling with MERCON LV, then drive through several full shift cycles.
