The 6R140 is standard behind Ford's 6.7L Power Stroke turbodiesel and the only available transmission - a manual transmission option has never been offered with this engine. The transmission features a patented dual media transmission filter that allows for relatively long service intervals. The gear spread provides a favorably low 1st gear to maximize available torque at low speeds and a relatively high overdrive ratio to minimize engine rpm for greater fuel economy at cruising speeds.
