About this product

This listing carries a sprag clutch title, but the part is a full friction clutch set: the EXEDY EFK290 high energy kit for the Ford 6R140 TorqShift built from 2011 through March 2014. It is for the rebuilder or owner of an early F-250, F-350, F-450 or F-550 Super Duty, gas or 6.7L Power Stroke, whose transmission slips under load, flares between gears or has left friction material on the pan magnet. If you need the one-way clutch itself, it is sold with the rear planet on our 6R140 rear planet with sprag page.

What is in the EFK290 set

That is 27 lined plates, made in the USA, with a stated tolerance of plus or minus 0.0015 in. Steel plates, seals and pistons are not included.

What these frictions do in a 6R140

The 6R140 makes each gear by holding two of its five clutch packs at once, and every shift is one pack letting go while another applies. Forward and direct share one housing at the front of the unit, intermediate sits on the center support, overdrive drives the rear planet carrier, and low/reverse holds it. Because there is no band and very little overlap, glazed or thin frictions show up right away as slip and flare, and on a diesel pulling weight that slip turns into heat fast.

Symptoms of worn 6R140 frictions

How to confirm before you buy

Rule out pressure and electrical problems first, because a sticking solenoid or worn regulator bore can burn a new pack just as quickly as it burned the old one. Our 6R140 3-4 clutch failure guide shows how to match the slipping gears to the pack that holds them, and the 6R140 rebuilder's guide covers the valve body wear that causes repeat failures.

Fitment: check the build date, not just the model year

The year break on this kit is a build date. Ford changed the intermediate frictions in March 2014, reducing them from about 0.085 in to 0.065 in, and the EFK290 overdrive and intermediate plates are for the earlier units only. A 2014 model year truck built after March 2014 needs the later parts. Read the build month on the sticker in the driver door jamb before ordering. For 2015 and later diesel units, look at our later 6R140 friction set, and browse every option on the 6R140 parts page. If you are unsure, send us your year and VIN.

6R140 Sprag Clutch 2011: common questions

Is this a sprag clutch?

No. Despite the title, this is the EXEDY EFK290 friction clutch set with 27 lined plates for the forward, direct, intermediate, low/reverse and overdrive packs. The 6R140 one-way clutch is sold with the rear planet on a separate listing.

Will it fit my 2014 Super Duty?

Only if the truck was built before the March 2014 change. The intermediate and overdrive plates in this set are for 2011 to 3/2014 units. Check the build date on the door jamb sticker or send us your VIN.

Does it fit gas and diesel?

Yes. The set is listed for both gas and 6.7L diesel 6R140 units within the 2011 to March 2014 range.

Are steel plates included?

No. The set is frictions only. Reuse steels only if they are flat and not discolored, or replace them.

What clutch clearances should I use?

Use the revised 6R140 clearance specifications ATSG published, since the originally published Ford values were reported to be incorrect.
