6R140 Shift Kit 2011, new and ready to install. Fits the 6R140. Ships fast from the USA.
The listing name says shift kit, but the box holds a seven-piece replacement solenoid set for the Ford 6R140, the full complement that plugs into the solenoid body on the valve body. It is listed for 2011 and later F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks. Buyers usually land here with a truck that flares between gears, binds on an upshift, starts out in a high gear and stays there, or keeps setting solenoid circuit codes after the internal harness has been checked. The set is aftermarket and unbranded, weighs about 1.3 pounds, and replaces every solenoid in one job instead of chasing one coil at a time.
The 6R140 shifts entirely by solenoid. Five shift solenoids control the five clutches, one handles torque converter clutch apply, and one controls line pressure. They are variable bleed solenoids, so the TCM does not just switch them on and off; it meters current to set a precise pressure for each clutch during the overlap of a shift. Sonnax notes that these solenoids drift out of calibration over time, and a drifted solenoid feels like a mechanical problem: a flare when the oncoming clutch is late, a bind or tie-up when the offgoing clutch lets go too slowly, or shifts that are good one day and sloppy the next.
Three of the seven are normally high and four are normally low. Normally high units show a black snout and normally low units a brown one. When power to the solenoids is lost, the normally high units default to full pressure, which is why a 6R140 with a dead circuit runs in fifth gear and reverse with maximum line pressure and no converter lockup.
Read codes with a tool that sees the transmission module, then measure each solenoid at the case connector; a healthy unit reads roughly 4.8 to 5.4 ohms. An open on several solenoids at once usually means a failed internal harness splice, not seven bad solenoids. If there are no codes and the fluid is burnt or full of clutch material, the problem is more likely clutches or a worn valve body bore. The 6R140 shift solenoid symptoms guide covers the electrical checks, and 6R140 will not shift into overdrive walks through the stuck-gear and failsafe cases.
The source lists this set for 2011 and later 6R140 Super Duty trucks. Hold the photos against your originals and compare connector style, snout colors and the band number printed on each solenoid before you order. If the details do not match, or you want a second set of eyes, send us your year and VIN. You can browse every 6R140 part we carry.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
No. The listing name is wrong. It is a set of seven replacement solenoids for the 6R140 solenoid body: five shift solenoids, the TCC solenoid and the line pressure solenoid.
No. It is an unbranded aftermarket set. Check that the band numbers on the new parts match your originals, or plan to load the matching strategy into the TCM.
It is listed for 2011 and later 6R140 Super Duty trucks. Compare the connectors and snout colors to your old solenoids, or send us your year and VIN and we will check.
No. Drain the fluid and drop the pan, and the solenoids come out from underneath the truck. Check the internal harness while the pan is off.
Refill with Mercon LV, clear the keep-alive memory, and run the adaptive relearn drive cycle. If the band numbers changed, the TCM needs the new strategy loaded with a Ford-capable tool.
