Ford TorqShift Transmission
Ford designed the TorqShift transmission to back their new 6.0L Power Stroke in 2003. It was produced and used behind Power Stroke diesels until 2010, when the 6.7L Power Stroke was released with an all new, 6-speed TorqShift transmission. The TorqShift is well known for providing crisp, firm, quick shifts without sacrificing driver comfort (no jerking or "banging" into gear). While essentially a redesign of the E4OD/4R100, the TorqShift offers many features unavailable in previous Ford transmissions. While advertised as a 5-speed automatic, the TorqShift is technically a 6-speed automatic. By engaging 3rd gear and overdrive simultaneously, a 1.09:1 gear ratio is accomplished. This gear is only used during cold operation, and once the transmission/engine are warm, the standard 1-5 gears are used (ratios above). This 1.09:1 is considered the "true" 4th gear, but is not used during normal operation. The TorqShift has a reputation of being one of the stronger transmissions on the market, and has been known to handle torque levels substantially greater than stock.
