The Ford Torqueshift 5R100 is a rear wheel drive, five speed automatic overdrive transmission for heavy duty vehicles like the F-350 series trucks and larger trucks. Torqueshift is the trade-name for this particular transmission. Replacing the 4 speed automatic overdrive transmission in 2003, we are stocked up with Ford 5R100 transmissions for sale, crated and ready for shipment.
Used only behind the 6.0L diesel engines at first, Ford quickly expanded it’s applications to the medium duty truck line and to the large SUV’s. It actually has a hidden 6th forward speed for extreme cold weather when a low, low first gear is desirable due to excessive slipperiness of ice and snow. A granny gear of sorts.
Using what is termed adaptive shift functions, the computer and sensors watch the Torqueshift’s performance over its lifespan, and adjusts shift pressures in real time to assure consistent shift feel and compensate for wear. For ease of maintenance, the Torqueshift’s oil filter is a spin-off style, mounted on the passenger-side exterior of the transmission. Also the Torqueshift’s larger fluid lines and a larger transmission oil cooler help to assure cooler operating temperatures, even under the most demanding conditions.
Also equipped with a tow/haul mode button which changes the amount of line pressure when you pull a load. In turn, the line pressure increase makes the shifts more noticeable. As other Ford automatic transmissions have done in thee past, this one exceeded all expectations.
One of the main reasons for dealing with an experienced and reliable transmission supplier when you need a rebuilt Ford 5R100 transmission is that this is a complicated highly precise transmission. It uses a handful of solenoids internally, and receives and sends information in real time to the computers. So, only top transmission technicians have the credentials to competently rebuild them.
Spending less money on a rebuilt transmission is short sighted thinking. A lesser rebuilt transmission may not even cost less to buy. The money difference comes in after the warranty expires. An unscrupulously rebuilt transmission will outlast a poorly rebuilt unit, thus making it cost a lot less in the long run.
