Built 5R110W Transmissions for How You Drive


The Ford 5R110W TorqShift was built for heavy trucks, but not every truck is used the same way. That's why we don't sell one 5R110W build and call it good.

Twisted Torque builds the 5R110W around power level, vehicle use and engine combination, from dependable daily drivers and tow trucks to boosted performance applications.

Our Street™, Pro™ and Punisher™ builds step up clutch capacity, hydraulics, cooling and hard-part strength as power and load increase.

Gas and diesel builds are configured separately. Vehicle information, engine, drivetrain, PTO configuration and transmission ID are verified before we build your transmission.

Ford 5R110W TorqShift Transmission Builds


The Ford 5R110W TorqShift was used behind several Ford gas and Power Stroke diesel applications. While they share the 5R110W platform, the transmission configuration, converter and build requirements can vary by engine, year and vehicle.

Twisted Torque builds each transmission for the application instead of treating every 5R110W the same.


5R110W Gas Transmissions


Our gas 5R110W program covers applicable Ford trucks equipped with the 5.4L Triton V8 and 6.8L Triton V10.

Current gas builds include:


Twisted Street™ 5R110W GAS – 450 HP / 500 LB-FT

Built for daily drivers, work trucks, towing and mild performance.


Twisted Pro™ 5R110W GAS – 550 HP / 600 LB-FT

Increased GPZ clutch capacity and upgraded hydraulics for modified engines, heavier use and mild boost.


Twisted Punisher™ 5R110W GAS – 650 HP / 700 LB-FT

Built for boosted applications with a 300M billet input shaft, high-capacity clutch package, full-time cooler flow and increased cooling capacity.


Built Around Known 5R110W Trouble Areas

Depending on build level and application, our 5R110W program addresses known areas throughout the transmission including clutch capacity, hydraulic pressure control, pump wear and alignment, Forward drum sealing, Direct drum support, Low/Reverse retention, internal electronics and converter operation.

Higher-level builds add increased clutch capacity and upgraded hard parts as power and torque increase.


New Internal Electronics

Our Twisted 5R110W builds use new internal electronics, solenoids and sensors rather than building a fresh transmission around old electronics.

Proper pressure control and clutch apply are too important to leave to worn electronics.


Billet Torque Converter Included

Every Twisted 5R110W build includes the appropriate torque converter for the transmission level and application.

Gas Street, Pro and Punisher builds include a billet performance torque converter at the correct factory stall, with performance stall options available for modified combinations.


2WD, 4WD & PTO Configurations

The 5R110W was produced in multiple configurations.

We verify year, VIN, engine, 2WD/4WD configuration, output style, PTO configuration and transmission identification before the unit is built.

That means the transmission isn't selected from the product title alone. We make sure we're building the correct configuration for the truck.


Twisted Torque 5R110W Warranty

Twisted Torque transmissions are backed by our 2-Year Unlimited Mileage Manufacturer Defect Warranty, subject to warranty terms and installation requirements.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a 5R110W fit both the Ford 5.4L and 6.8L V10?
Yes, but the transmission needs to be built for the correct application. Ford used the 5R110W behind both the 5.4L Triton V8 and 6.8L Triton V10, but there are internal and application differences. The factory 5.4L version also used less clutch capacity than the V10 version. Twisted Torque verifies the engine, VIN and transmission information before the unit is built.
Are gas and diesel 5R110W transmissions the same?
They share the same 5R110W platform, but they should not be treated as the same build. There are differences in converter configuration and internal calibration/hardware. Former Ford transmission engineer Mark Kovalsky has specifically discussed differences in the intermediate one-way clutch and noted that the gas version was designed to avoid the pronounced 2–3 clunk associated with the diesel arrangement behind a gas engine.
Does the 5R110W torque converter come with the transmission?
es. Every Twisted Torque 5R110W includes the correct torque converter for the build and application. Our gas Street, Pro and Punisher transmissions include a billet performance torque converter at the correct factory stall. Performance stall converters are available for modified applications. Converter selection matters because gas and diesel applications use different stall characteristics, and converter configuration can also vary by application. Forum interchange discussions repeatedly flag the converter as one of the important gas/diesel differences.
Do I need a bigger transmission cooler for a built 5R110W?
Good cooler flow is critical, especially for towing, heavy trucks and performance use. The factory 5R110 cooling system is substantial, and Ford owners commonly discuss cooler capacity when towing heavy loads. Twisted Torque addresses the transmission's cooler-flow strategy according to build level, and our higher-level builds use full-time cooler flow.
How do I know which 5R110W I need for my truck?
Send us the VIN and vehicle information. We'll figure that out. Ford used multiple 5R110W configurations across different years, engines and drivetrains. Differences can include 2WD slip-yoke, 2WD fixed-flange, 4WD, PTO/non-PTO and internal year changes. Even forum discussions involving former Ford transmission engineering staff recommend identifying the correct transmission by vehicle/transmission information rather than assuming every 5R110W interchanges.
