I am so glad I am a retired trans builder 35yrs. My shift strategy today was working on my model airplane 😊,I can here the shop owner yelling from his office "got to go"
There was a comment in the installation instructions that came with my valve body that says “remove the manual valve retaining tube before installing the control unit”. Does anybody know what that means? Because I don’t see it anywhere in any of the online videos that I’ve looked up other than in this video when the instructions are flashed up. I have no idea what it means. There was no tube I can see that needs to be removed before installation.
If I where to replace just a solenoid (say E) and I use one with the same band number, does it require anything to be changed in the computer for just a solenoid replacement?
Thank you! That answers my question...I just replaced the valve body in my 2011 F350. Just need to do exactly what you said. Just need to get the info off the valve body and upload it! Thanks again
Always great information Mike! Whenever you’re performing main control/valve body overhauls, do you utilize a vacuum pump to check for potential leaks in the bores? Or, do you just ensure free movement of the valve(s) with adequate “Gravity Testing” procedures? How often do you see concerns with actual valves sticking in their bores? I don’t see many Ford valve bodies having inadequate movement, but the dealer does not require vacuum testing of the assemblies. Thanks!
Valve body inspection today absolutely requires more than a flick of the valve. Even if a valve is nice and free in the bore is not an indication of a good valve body. Valve/bore wear has become commonplace on newer valve bodies and must be identified. To date, the best way is to vacuum check the oil passage. Due to how a valve will wear a bore renders visual inspection useless. Vacuum checking is an aftermarket thing not OEM. We are actually going to do a video concerning valve body inspection soon.

I just got a 2019 f250 6.7 powerstroke with 34k miles on it about a week ago and when it upshifts it’s a little hard, it’s like a bump, just enough for you to noticed that it shifted if you weren’t thinking about it, and it’s not deleted, it’s bone stock. It also has a little bump in the 6 to 5 downshift. I was wondering if this is normal for a 6r140 or if I need to get the dealer to check it out. Or would a transmission relearn fix this?
It should not shift hard at all, besides the od flare up from clutches binding during quick up then downshifting in a very short period, I would recommend checking your fluid level and if that checks out let the dealer take a look, as it should still be under warranty!

@@MrEuroWolfie At this point I don’t give a fuck my 5 year powertrain warranty is up and I’ve had provens 200 horse lbf/qr tune and high pressure med shift trans tune in for 2 years. Re flashed tune and done kam Reset and re learn process a couple times over 2 years. God fucking awful trans tunes. Beat the fuck out of it every day put about 40k miles on it so far.

Back when I had my 6.4 with the 5R110, the 6R140 was suppose to be such a better more power holding transmission...

Hello, what problems did you have and how did you get the computer updated for the new valve body?

i have a problem of my new overhaul 6r140 1st goo but 2nd to 4rt gear fast shifting and coming shiftshock
My 6r140 shifts hard when cold but it's fine when it's warmed up, would this be the problem?
Same.
Play at 1.25x...
More fun at 0.5
I have an uncle that talks at 0.25
witch one controls 4th gear? mine flares,slips does all kinds of crap going from 3rd to 4th and it will shift into 4th then a 4th and a half
Did you ever resolve the issue? I’m having the same problem with mine now.
Me too

The 4th and a half is your torque converter locking up.
