Twisted X™ 5R110W gas transmission with billet hard parts, aggressive valve body tuning, pump upgrades, and HD converter for Ford Super Duty trucks.
The Twisted Punisher™ 5R110W GAS takes our high-capacity Pro build and adds the hard-part strength and cooling we want when a 5.4L or 6.8L gas truck starts making serious power.
Punisher is built for supercharged and turbocharged applications, built-engine street trucks, big-tire combinations and aggressive performance use.
Pro gives us the clutch capacity. Punisher keeps that proven clutch setup and adds a 300M billet input shaft, deep cast-aluminum pan, full-time cooler flow and a more aggressive hydraulic calibration for the additional power and load.
Twisted Punisher™ is rated for gas applications making up to 650 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of engine torque.
At this level, we're beyond bolt-ons and mild performance. These are typically boosted or heavily modified engine combinations putting considerably more load through the input shaft and transmission.
That's where Punisher starts separating itself from Pro.
Pro retains the inspected factory input shaft.
Punisher gets a 300M billet input shaft standard.
The input shaft takes engine torque directly into the transmission. Once we're dealing with boost, harder launches, big tires and 650 HP combinations, this is one factory hard part we don't want to leave as the weak link.
Punisher keeps the high-capacity clutch architecture from Pro.
We're not adding clutch count just to make Punisher look different on paper.
The clutch capacity is already there.
Punisher adds the hard-part strength, cooling and calibration to support it.
The Direct pack keeps the 6 GPZ clutch setup and high-capacity apply arrangement introduced in Pro.
This gives us substantially more friction area than Street and the apply capacity needed to make those additional clutches work.
At Punisher power levels, we want clutch capacity and hydraulic pressure working together, not excessive pressure trying to make up for a weak clutch pack.
The 5-clutch GPZ Forward pack provides increased friction area and holding capacity over our Street configuration.
Punisher keeps the 5-clutch GPZ Intermediate pack for increased holding capacity under higher engine torque and vehicle load.
The 5-clutch GPZ Overdrive pack provides considerably more OD clutch area than Street for high-load operation in the upper gears.
Punisher retains the upgraded center-support work from Pro to improve support and control internal movement under load.
At this power level, keeping the rotating assemblies properly supported matters just as much as adding clutch capacity.
Punisher gets new internal electronics, solenoids and sensors.
We're not putting 650 HP through a freshly built transmission and trusting old electronics to control pressure and clutch apply.
New build. New electronics.
Every Punisher is completely torn down, cleaned, inspected and rebuilt.
The factory Low/Reverse retaining ring is a known 5R110W trouble area. If it comes out of the case groove, the transmission can lose Reverse or manual low and potentially damage the case.
Punisher gets the Sonnax heavy-duty Low/Reverse retaining ring with increased width and tension to help keep it where it belongs.
The Forward sealing-ring setup is updated to help reduce hydraulic leakage and maintain proper clutch apply pressure.
The Direct drum gets the updated one-piece bushing design for improved support and durability.
Punisher gets the known 5R110W hydraulic corrections used throughout our builds, with the calibration stepped up for 650 HP / 700 LB-FT operation.
The goal is faster, more positive clutch apply and stronger pressure control under load while keeping full automatic operation.
Punisher is aggressive where it needs to be. It doesn't need to beat you up every time it changes gears.
Punisher gets the cooler flow bypass delete installed during the build.
The factory thermostatic bypass is eliminated to provide full-time flow through the transmission cooler.
Once we're building for this level of power, heat control becomes part of the build, not an afterthought.
The pump is completely torn down and inspected with a tighter wear standard than our lower-level builds.
More clutch capacity doesn't help if we can't feed it.
At 650 HP, marginal pump wear doesn't get a pass.
The valve body is completely disassembled, cleaned and inspected.
Hydraulic wear is corrected as required and the valve body receives our Punisher calibration for quicker clutch apply and stronger pressure control under load.
Full automatic operation stays intact.
Every Twisted Punisher™ 5R110W GAS includes a Billet Performance Torque Converter at the correct factory stall for the original gas application.
Punisher doesn't automatically mean high stall.
A supercharged street truck, big-tire build or boosted daily driver can need a stronger transmission while still wanting factory-stall converter behavior.
Punisher steps up from the stock pan to a deep cast-aluminum high-capacity transmission pan.
The added fluid capacity and aluminum construction give us more oil volume and additional cooling surface for a transmission expected to work at a much higher power level.
Pan fitment is verified for the vehicle before the transmission is built. Applications with clearance limitations will be handled accordingly.
Ford used multiple 5R110W configurations. Year, VIN, engine, drivetrain, PTO configuration and transmission ID are verified before the transmission is built.
