6R140 Shift Kit 2011-2019, new other (see details) and ready to install. Fits the 6R140. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 6.7L Power Stroke Super Duty flares between gears with a trailer behind it, or the truck now makes more power than the transmission was calibrated for, this is the part people are usually searching for under the name "6R140 shift kit" or "pressure enhancer." What ships is the BD Diesel PressureLoc, part number 1030385, for 2011-2019 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 diesels. It is sold here as an open-box item (new other). It is not a valve body spring-and-plate kit: it is one replacement solenoid that changes how much line pressure the 6R140 makes.
The 6R140 has no shift valves you can re-spring the old way. Every shift is clutch to clutch, managed by seven variable bleed solenoids, and the module decides line pressure through one of them. BD's instructions put stock line pressure between 70 and 170 psi. That range is chosen for smooth shifts on an unloaded stock truck, and it leaves little margin when a clutch pack is asked to hold a loaded trailer or extra torque from a tune.
The PressureLoc goes in place of the second solenoid from the driver side and overrides that control, so the transmission can make 250 to 300 psi. More apply pressure clamps the clutch plates harder. That is what shortens slip time during a shift and keeps a pack from slipping under load, which is the same goal a traditional shift kit had on older hydraulic transmissions.
It does not repair solenoid circuit faults, a stuck valve or a pack that is already burned. Those need a diagnosis and a repair first, and adding pressure to a damaged unit only hides the problem for a while.
Start with a code scan and a fluid check. Burnt fluid or friction material in the pan means the clutches are already damaged. A flare with clean fluid, no codes and a good fluid level is the situation this part targets. Keep in mind that Ford does not use a line pressure sensor, so a scan tool only shows the pressure the module is requesting. A mechanical gauge on the test port on the side of the case is the only way to see real pressure. Our 6R140 harsh shift guide and pressure control solenoid guide walk through the tests that separate a calibration complaint from a failing part.
BD lists 1030385 for the Ford 6.7L, 2011-2019, which covers the F-250 through F-550 Super Duty with the 6R140. It is a diesel application, so do not order it for a 6.2L or 7.3L gas truck. If your truck has had its valve body or solenoids replaced, or you are unsure of your build, send us your year and VIN before ordering. You can see all of our 6R140 transmission parts by model.
Firmer pressure is not a substitute for healthy clutches. If the unit is coming apart anyway, a fresh friction pack such as the 2015-2019 GPZ clutch module is the better starting point, with the PressureLoc added afterward.

No. It is the BD Diesel PressureLoc 1030385, a single replacement solenoid that raises line pressure. The 6R140 shifts through solenoid-controlled clutches, so pressure control is where a shift-firming upgrade works on this unit.
The item is listed as new other, sold open box. The kit contains one PressureLoc solenoid, so check it against BD's kit contents when it arrives.
BD lists it for the Ford 6.7L diesel, 2011-2019. It is not listed for the gas engines.
BD states the stock 6R140 runs 70 to 170 psi and the PressureLoc allows 250 to 300 psi, so expect noticeably firmer shifts. Verify with a mechanical gauge and a hose rated for 300 psi.
The 6R140 uses Mercon LV. Check the level with the fluid at operating temperature after the pan is reinstalled.
BD's instructions do not call for a tuner. Reset the adaptive shift tables after the swap so the module relearns.
