6R140 Governor Pressure Solenoid, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6R140. Ships fast from the USA.
Searching for a fix for a TorqShift 6R140 that slams into reverse, flares on the upshift or limps along stuck in one gear? This listing is a remanufactured 6R140 control valve body, tested and supplied with its solenoids in place. It is filed under the name governor pressure solenoid, but the 6R140 does not use a governor at all, so treat this page as what it is: the hydraulic and electronic brain of the transmission. The reference given for it is Ford BC3Z-7A100-A, and it is meant for the 2011-2019 Super Duty pickups and chassis cabs that carry this transmission.
Every gear change in the 6R140 is one clutch releasing while another applies, and the overlap is managed entirely by the solenoids on this casting. A normally high line pressure solenoid sets main pressure through the pressure regulator valve, clutch solenoids meter apply oil to each pack, and a separate solenoid runs converter lockup. Ford tests every solenoid and assigns it a band number from 1 to 5 based on flow, and the computer compensates for those bands. That is why a whole valve body arrives with a tag carrying its own strategy and ID numbers.
A valve body is the right part when pressure and timing are the problem and the clutches are still healthy. Pull the pan and look: a light film of fine material is normal, a pan full of friction lining is not. Put a gauge on the line pressure tap; Sonnax lists a working range of about 90-260 psi for the 6R140, and a reading that will not track commanded pressure points at the valve body side. Our guide to 6R140 delayed engagement covers the low-pressure causes that are not the valve body, such as the filter snout seal, and the 3-4 clutch failure guide shows what a burnt pack looks like so you do not throw a valve body at a mechanical failure.
The listing names Ford Super Duty trucks with the 6R140 and gives no narrower year limit, so do the check yourself: compare the tag and casting on your old unit, or send your year and VIN and we will match it before it ships. A separately listed 2011-2017 6R140 solenoid valve body is also available. Everything else for this transmission is in the 6R140 collection.
Most owners pair it with a 6R140 transmission service kit. If lockup is the only complaint, price the 6R140 TCC solenoid first.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
It is a catalog naming carry-over. The 6R140 has no governor. The item is a remanufactured control valve body with solenoids, referenced as BC3Z-7A100-A.
Ford Super Duty F-250 through F-550 trucks with the 6R140. The listing does not limit the years, so match your old tag or send your year and VIN and we will confirm.
Not if you want good shifts. The new unit's strategy and ID numbers must be loaded into the transmission module, adapts cleared, keep alive memory reset and the adaptive drive cycle completed.
One solenoid makes sense when a single circuit is at fault and the bores are good. If you have several solenoid codes, mixed symptoms or a high-mileage tow truck, a complete valve body is usually the faster, surer repair.
Use MERCON LV, bring the transmission to operating temperature, and check at the fill plug with the engine running, adding a little at a time until it just begins to drip out.
