6R140 Pressure Control Solenoid 2011-2017, remanufactured and ready to install. Fits the 6R140. Ships fast from the USA.
Owners of 2011-2017 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks searching for a 6R140 pressure control solenoid are usually chasing harsh shifts, a P0960-series code, or a truck that has gone into failsafe. This listing is more than a single solenoid. The photo shows a complete remanufactured 6R140 valve body with its solenoid body installed, and the line pressure control (LPC) solenoid is part of that assembly. If the bores that the pressure solenoid works through are worn, this is the repair that fixes both the electrical and the hydraulic side at the same time.
The 6R140 TorqShift uses seven variable bleed solenoids mounted to the valve body. The LPC is the one that sets main line pressure: it sends a signal to the pressure regulator valve, and the TCM on the 6.7L diesel or the PCM on the gas trucks varies its current with engine torque. The LPC is normally high, so with no current it delivers maximum pressure. That is also the failsafe strategy, which holds the truck in a fixed gear with line pressure at the top. Because every clutch apply depends on that pressure, a worn regulator bore can make even a good solenoid produce erratic shifts.
Use MERCON LV only and confirm the level is right before anything else. Read codes and note whether they are circuit faults or performance faults. Check the internal harness and the case connector, since a harness fault can set codes on every solenoid. Then put a mechanical gauge on the line pressure tap and road test; the scan tool shows only the commanded number. Our 6R140 pressure control solenoid guide explains the gauge checks and the 6.7L exhaust back pressure sensor fault that can mimic a pressure problem. If pressure is low in every range, rule out the pump with the 6R140 pump failure guide first.
This assembly is listed for the 6R140 in 2011-2017 Super Duty trucks. The 6R140 valve body carries a tag with a 13-digit strategy code and an 8-digit solenoid body ID, and the solenoids are sorted into flow bands. When the whole valve body is replaced, those values have to be loaded into the TCM or PCM with a capable scan tool or J2534 setup, or shift quality will be wrong from day one. Before ordering, compare the casting and connector with your original and tell us the year and VIN so we can check the match. For a later truck, see the 6R140 valve body listed for 2011-2019. All our TorqShift parts are on the 6R140 parts page.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. The listing photo shows a complete remanufactured valve body with the solenoid body installed. The line pressure control solenoid is one of the seven solenoids on it.
Yes. The strategy code and solenoid body ID on the valve body tag must be entered into the TCM or PCM with a scan tool or J2534 setup. A single same-band solenoid swap does not, but a full valve body does.
MERCON LV. Ford lists the 6R140 at about four gallons total, so a valve body job only needs a pan's worth plus top-off, checked at the specified temperature.
This one is listed for 2011-2017. For 2018 and later trucks, check the 2011-2019 listing and confirm with your VIN.
On the 6.7L, a faulty exhaust back pressure sensor can raise calculated torque and line pressure with no transmission code. Rule that out before replacing the valve body.
