DESCRIPTION

Product Overview

  • The Ford TorqShift automatic transmission relies on uncontaminated fluid to maintain hydraulic integrity. Debris accumulated from normal clutch wear can restrict sensitive solenoids and score precision valve bodies, leading to harsh shift engagements or fluid pressure slippage.
  • The TruckTok premium FT180 transmission filter is constructed from high-quality reinforced composite plastic to withstand elevated operating temperatures. Featuring a specialized high-flow, dual-stage filtration media, it effectively traps metallic shavings and particulates while maintaining stable line pressure under heavy towing conditions. Engineered with the correct deep-pan suction neck architecture and a premium, heat-resistant Viton O-ring, it establishes an airtight seal within the assembly to support reliable fluid regulation and smooth gearbox performance.

Key Features

  • Manufactured from high-quality, reinforced composite plastic engineered to resist elevated transmission temperatures and prevent warping under severe-duty operations.
  • Utilizes a specialized dual-stage media designed to effectively capture abrasive metal shavings, clutch debris, and fine particulates before they recirculate through the system.
  • Supports optimized fluid purity to shield sensitive shifting solenoids and precision valve bodies from scoring and hydraulic clogging.
  • Features the correct deep-pan suction neck specification paired with a premium, Viton-grade O-ring to maintain a reliable, airtight seal and eliminate internal line pressure drops.
  • Traps harmful contaminants to promote consistent fluid delivery, helping mitigate shift delays, prevent clutch slippage, and support extended transmission longevity.

Replacement Interval

  • Replace every 60,000 miles under normal operating conditions. Reduce this interval to 30,000 miles if frequently towing heavy loads, snowplowing, or operating in severe stop-and-go commercial environments. Refill with fresh, premium ATF according to manufacturer specifications during service.
  • Note: Per OEM guidelines, the factory Ford transmission pan gasket is reusable if structurally undamaged; thoroughly clean and inspect the gasket sealing surface prior to reinstalling the pan and new filter element.

FAQ

Q: What fluid should I use with this 5R110W transmission filter? 

A: The TorqShift 5R110W transmission was originally specified for Motorcraft MERCON SP fluid. Ford later issued a service bulletin approving MERCON LV as a backward-compatible replacement; either fluid is acceptable for service. To match the factory fill architecture as closely as possible, many heavy-duty owners prefer MERCON SP, while MERCON LV serves as a readily available alternative. Do not use MERCON V, as its distinct chemical formulation will cause severe shift quality issues.

Q: What does this transmission filter capture? 

A: The specialized internal filter media traps metallic wear shavings, clutch friction material debris, and fine suspended particulates that accumulate over time. Preventing these contaminants from recirculating protects sensitive shifting solenoids, torque converter lockup clutches, and precision planetary gear sets from premature scoring and hydraulic blockages.

Q: How does this compare to the Motorcraft FT180 filter? 

A: This replacement service element is engineered to meet OEM specifications for physical dimensions, suction tube configuration, and filtration efficiency. It functions as a direct standalone filter replacement. Note that the factory Ford 5R110W pan gasket utilizing a reusable rubber-metal composite design is not included, as it does not require replacement unless structurally compromised.

Q: How often should I replace the 5R110W transmission filter? 

A: We recommend replacement every 60,000 miles under normal operating conditions, or reduced to 30,000 miles under severe-duty operations such as heavy towing, snowplowing, or commercial stop-and-go driving. Performing a fluid drain-and-refill with fresh MERCON SP or MERCON LV during this service is required to maintain proper hydraulic line pressure and system purity.

Q: Need the complete filter kit for this truck? 

A: Because automatic transmission, fuel, and induction system service intervals frequently align, running a comprehensive maintenance routine ensures optimal drivetrain protection.  Check out our 2008–2010 6.4L Ford Fuel, Oil & Air Filters Maintenance Kit.

FA1886 — fits the 6.4L airbox without forcing it

2008 F-350. The 6.4L airbox is a different shape from the 6.0 — the FA1886 is taller and narrower. This TruckTok air filter drops in perfectly. The foam seal around the perimeter is the correct thickness and density — it compresses evenly when you close the lid. The dry synthetic media has a high dirt-holding capacity without the restriction of an oiled filter. I run dusty gravel roads daily and the filter minder still shows green at 15K miles. The turbo inlet stays clean.

Amazon filter kit collapsed at 8K miles — TruckTok set went 15K strong

2010 F-450 service truck. Bought a cheap 6.4L filter kit on Amazon and the fuel filter media pleats collapsed at 8K miles — fuel pressure dropped to 40 psi and the truck went into limp mode on I-80. Switched to this TruckTok set and ran it 15K hard miles. Cut the filter open after — media was still standing tall, center tube intact, no water bypassing. The 6.4L common rail demands a real filter, not a white-box copy.

Oil filter holds at full operating temp on a tuned 6.4

2008 F-250 with a 200-hp tune. The 6.4L runs hot when you are making power and the oil filter needs to hold up. This TruckTok FL2016 replacement uses full-synthetic media with metal end caps that do not deform at 230-degree oil temps. Changed the oil at 5K miles after a summer of towing and the filter came out intact — no media collapse, no tears, no center tube deformation. Cut it open and the pleats were uniform. Same story as the Motorcraft at a better price.

FT180 external spin-on filter — critical for 5R110 TorqShift

2008 F-350. The 5R110W TorqShift has an external spin-on filter (FT180) that filters the transmission fluid before it goes through the cooler. Most owners forget this filter exists. If it clogs, the cooler bypass opens and you cook your transmission. This TruckTok replacement has the correct 20-micron cellulose media and the anti-drainback valve works. Changed it during a fluid flush and the magnet in the old filter had a normal amount of clutch material — the new one caught everything else. Cheap insurance for a $5000 transmission.

Both frame-rail and engine-bay filters — FD4617 covers the primary

2010 F-350. Quick note: the 6.4L has TWO fuel filters — the FD4617 primary on the frame rail HFCM and a secondary cartridge filter in the engine bay near the oil filter. This TruckTok FD4617 replaces the primary. It has the same water-separating Aquabloc membrane as the Motorcraft and the drain valve on the HFCM works normally. I drain water at every oil change and this filter has never let any through to the secondary. Change both filters together.

Real 10-micron filtration for the 6.4L high-pressure common rail

2008 F-250. The 6.4L Siemens high-pressure fuel system runs at 30,000 psi — any contamination is literally sandblasting your injectors from the inside. This TruckTok filter set uses Racor-spec synthetic media with verified 10-micron absolute filtration. I cut open the FD4617 after 15K miles and the media was clean, intact, and the water-separating membrane was still functioning. The common rail on the 6.4L is less forgiving than the HEUI on the 6.0 — do not gamble on cheap filters.

FD4617 + FL2016 combo — exactly what the 6.4 needs

2009 F-450. This combo covers the two filters you change most often — primary fuel and oil. The fuel filter (FD4617) fits the HFCM perfectly and the oil filter (FL2016) is the same one used on the 6.0. Both filters have the correct bypass and anti-drainback specs. I do oil every 5K and fuel every 10K on my 6.4 and this combo keeps my ordering simple. The price is about 35% less than buying the two Motorcraft filters separately.

FD4617 — correct for the 6.4 frame-rail HFCM

2009 F-250. The 6.4L HFCM (horizontal fuel conditioning module) on the frame rail uses the FD4617 primary filter — NOT the FD4616 from the 6.0. The cap thread pitch, O-ring groove, and filter height are all different. This TruckTok FD4617 has the correct dimensions. The cap threads on smoothly with no cross-threading and the square-cut Viton O-ring seats perfectly. No fuel weeping around the cap after 5K miles. Make sure you order FD4617 for 6.4 and FD4616 for 6.0 — they are not interchangeable.

6.4L full filter kit — three filters, one box, done

2009 F-350. The 6.4L has more filters than you think — frame rail primary, engine bay secondary fuel, plus oil and air. This set covers the primary fuel filter, oil filter, and air filter in one order. The FD4617 uses the correct 10-micron Aquabloc media with the water-stripping membrane, the FL2016 oil filter has the right bypass spec, and the FA1886 air filter fits the 6.4L airbox perfectly. One order, one oil change. Saved me chasing three separate Motorcraft part numbers.
