About this product

When a 6R140 has more than one solenoid fault, a sticking valve, or debris in the bores, swapping single solenoids rarely fixes it. This is a remanufactured factory Ford 6R140 valve body with the solenoid body attached, cleaned, inspected and tested, for 2011-2017 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks with the 6.2L gas or 6.7L Power Stroke diesel. It is the assembly to order when your truck has several shift codes, harsh downshifts, neutral at stops, or limp mode that keeps coming back.

What the solenoid body and valve body do in a 6R140

The valve body is the hydraulic brain of the transmission. It holds the pressure regulator, the clutch control valves and the manual valve. The solenoid body mounts on the back of it and carries seven electronic solenoids: SSA through SSE for the five clutches, one for the converter clutch, and one for line pressure. The TCM on diesels, or the PCM on gas trucks, fires those solenoids, and the valve body turns that signal into clutch apply pressure. Wear in either half causes the same kind of shift complaint, so replacing them together removes the guesswork.

This assembly is the 2011-2017 design with the cooler bypass valve. Ford built more than one 6R140 valve body, and some 2017 and later diesel trucks use a version without the cooler bypass valve.

Symptoms of a failing 6R140 valve body or solenoid body

How to confirm before you buy

Rule out wiring first. Failed splices in the internal harness cause intermittent solenoid opens that look exactly like a bad solenoid body, so check resistance at the case connector and look at the harness when the pan is off. Check the fluid for clutch material; a valve body will not save a burned clutch pack. If a single solenoid tests bad and everything else is clean, the seven-piece 6R140 solenoid set costs less. Our 6R140 shift solenoid guide and the 6R140 rebuilder's guide show how to separate a valve problem from a solenoid problem.

Fitment

This unit is for 2011-2017 Ford Super Duty trucks with the 6R140 and either the 6.2L gas engine or the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel, using the valve body with a cooler bypass valve. Before you order, compare the cooler bypass valve, the solenoid and connector layout, and your transmission ID tag with the photos. Some 2017 and later diesel valve bodies are different and should not be assumed to fit. Send us your VIN, your transmission tag and a photo of your valve body and we will help you confirm it. Other parts for this unit are on our 6R140 parts page.

6R140 Solenoid Kit 2011-2017: common questions

Is this just solenoids or a full valve body?

It is a remanufactured factory Ford 6R140 valve body with the solenoid body installed, the full assembly shown in the photo. If you only need individual solenoids, our seven-piece 6R140 solenoid set is the lower-cost option.

Does it need programming after install?

Yes. A replacement valve body has its own solenoid strategy and ID numbers. They need to be loaded into the TCM or PCM with a Ford scan tool or J2534 device, followed by a keep-alive memory reset and adaptive relearn. Programming is not included.

Will it fit my 2018 or 2019 Super Duty?

It is built for the 2011-2017 design with a cooler bypass valve. Some 2017 and later diesel trucks use a valve body without that valve. Send us your VIN and transmission tag and we will check it.

Does it fit both gas and diesel trucks?

It fits 2011-2017 6R140 Super Duty trucks with the 6.2L gas engine and the 6.7L Power Stroke, as long as your original valve body matches the cooler bypass design and connector layout.

What fluid should I use?

Mercon LV only. Install a new filter at the same time, because debris in the old filter can damage the new valve body.
