[QUOTE="Mdub707, post: 51939, member: 107"] I've never seen someone get ragged on so hard for simply correcting people. It's not Kyle's fault the OP decided he couldn't handle the forum and felt the need to take the info down. If you want the P/N's maybe just PM the OP. No one asked him to take that stuff down, he did it on his own out of spite, which is just silly. I've just sent an email to BTS inquiring about the shift patterns and the reasons for that, I will post whatever info I get back, if they are ok with that (don't see why they wouldn't be). I'm sure some more internet searching can get the part numbers for the pieces you want. Also just dug up this info from an old thread of mine on PSN, when I was asking about how dyno tunes shifted and how they worked... [B][COLOR="Yellow"] 5R110 shifts 1-2-3-5-6 with 6th being OD. I don't have the gear ratio's handy or I'd post them up. I'll see if I can get them for you. 4th is only used in extremely cold weather--something like 5 or 10* F. There's no real way to get totally accurate Dyno numbers without a dyno file because there's no way to keep it from shifting. It's a six speed that usually uses five speeds. The ratios of fourth and fifth are too close to use both in any sequence of shifts. The trans will use fourth or fifth, but never both. When the trans is colder than 0F it uses fourth, not fifth. The only reason for this is that the trans won't reliabily make a 3-5 shift when it's that cold, but due to the way the trans works a 3-4 is MUCH easier to make. Also, at certain speeds where the truck is in sixth gear and moving too fast to kickdown to third gear when the dirver floors it, it will go to fourth gear instead of fifth gear. That give almost 10% more gearing for better acceleration. Without a scan tool to monitor commanded gear the driver would never know that it did this. From fourth gear the trans can go to sixth or third, depending on whether it speeds up or slows down. [COLOR="Red"][I]It can NEVER go from fourth to fifth.[/I][/COLOR] The next question everyone has is, "Why did Ford design it to have six speeds and make two of them so close that one isn't useful?" The answer is in the way the trans was designed. It's really two transmissions in one case. There is a two speed in the front of the trans. It has ratios of 1:1 and 0.71:1. The three speed in the rear has ratios of 3.09:1 (later models changed to 3.11:1,) 1.54:1, and 1:1. By shifting the front trans (usually called the overdrive unit) between it's two ratios you get two ratios for each of the rear transmission's three ratios. 1st: 1:1 times 3.09:1 = 3.09:1 2nd 0.71 times 3.09:1 = 2.2:1 3rd 1:1 times 1.54:1 = 1.54:1 4th 0.71:1 times 1.54:1 = 1.09:1 5th 1:1 times 1:1 = 1:1 6th .71:1 times 1:1 = .71:1 [/COLOR][/B] [/QUOTE]
