SunCoast Category 1 450 HP SunCoast 5R110 Rebuild Kit

$2,095.00
SKU NWD-SC-5R110SC-1

The Torqshift 5-speed 5R110 transmission replaces the old faithful 4-speed 4R100 in the 2003 model year with the introduction of the new 6.0L diesel engine. The Torqshift design, in fact, has a total of six forward gears ratios, however only 5 are advertised. The "hidden gear" is only used in very cold weather. The 5 forward ratios are: 3.11, 2.22, 1.55, 1.00, and finally overdrive is .71. The Torqshift also utilizes an optional 4th gear, which is 1.10, that is used in cold start conditions to aid in engine and transmission warm up.

Tales from the 5R110

The Torqshift 5-speed 5R110 transmission replaces the old faithful 4-speed 4R100 in the 2003 model year with the introduction of the new 6.0L diesel engine. The Torqshift design, in fact, has a total of six forward gears ratios, however only 5 are advertised. The "hidden gear" is only used in very cold weather. The 5 forward ratios are: 3.11, 2.22, 1.55, 1.00, and finally overdrive is .71. The Torqshift also utilizes an optional 4th gear, which is 1.10, that is used in cold start conditions to aid in engine and transmission warm up.

The Torqshift was also Ford's first attempt at adaptive control. The adaptive control shift function monitors the performance over its lifetime and adjusts shift times in real time to assure consistency and to compensate for wear. The Torqshift was also used with the 6.4L as well. This transmission was later replaced with the much larger and more robust 6R140 when the 6.7L Powerstroke was released by Ford.

Walking Away from the Center Support

SunCoast has developed a new "No Walk" center support to correct this issue, which we include in this kit. We also go a step further with this and make a new Mag-Hytec pan standard to increase the rigidity of the case and reduce torsional flexing.

With this now being corrected the need for the direct solid modification is no longer needed. We originally created this modification before learning about the torsional effect.

The 'Wide Load" Direct Clutch

Moving forward the direct clutch pack is still one of the most abused clutch packs within the transmission. The direct clutch pack is constantly subjected to conditions that can prematurely wear. To alleviate this SunCoast has developed our new "wide load" direct clutch pack. These new clutches are not only made from our SunCoast SCZ carbon graphitic material but a larger wider clutch as well.

Making the clutch wider effectively increases the mean radius of a clutch, increasing the mean radius increases the torque capacity of said clutch. What this menaces the larger the mean effective radius, the more torque load capacity the friction plate can handle.

This new wider clutch is also combined with the new wider steel and new wider apply plate. This combination along with the new and improved "No Walk" center support make this the most loudly engineered kit on the market today.

The Input Shaft

The factory Ford input shaft is one of the smallest input shafts on the market today. It's lack of size makes for a sore subject with many of our customers after a simple programmer has proven to be too much. With factory wheels and tires this is a standard replacement for all of our builds. With larger wheels and tire combinations this becomes essential at stock horsepower/torque.

SunCoast uses a new billet input shaft that is heat treated and precision ground from 200 managing steel for maximum held strength. This shaft is a 100% drop in assembly.

This is our base recipe less new Ford "9C" transmission pump and all new solenoids that we use on every rebuild. The SunCoast rebuild kit is designed to give the end user an option to build a transmission the SunCoast way using our proven "SunCoast Recipe".
