What transmissions are available in the 250/350 SD trucks? Is it only the 4 speed or is there other options? Is the torque shift still a 4 speed?

 

well i beleive you can get a 5 speed manuel with granny gear which is low for towing. and a 6 speed with witch is really the 5 speed with over drive. so you do have options

 

'99-'04 gassers and the 7.3L could get the 4R100 four speed auto.
'03+ 6.0s and '05+ gassers could get the 5R110 torqshift five speed auto.

Not quite right, but all above mentioned trucks could get the ZF-6 six speed, with a very few amount of pre '02's getting the ZF-5 five speed. Both have granny low and both have OD, just the six has a closer spread in between.

Check the info sticky in the tranny section for more details.

As of now ,2005-2007 models, its a 5 speed auto or a six speed standard.

 

The ZF-5 was great, really well spaced shifts, the ZF-6 is solid, but I think the gears, especially 4-5-6 are too close together

 

I really like the torque shift in my truck.

 

5-speed auto

 

Only a few rare early 99 SD trucks got a ZF5. It was never used again after the early 99 series. I've only seen 1 truck that had it and only heard of 2 others. Extremely rare transmission to find in it, pretty much unheard of.

 

I appologize for the thread hijack but would a 96 F250 diesel be equipped with a 4R100 tranny?

 

Nope, that be the 4R100's predecessor the E4OD. They're like twin brothers from different mothers though. Not much different.

I thought the same 'till I drove an '01 5.4L ZF5. Not after '02 fer sure.

That comment was diesel specific. The 5.4L got the ZF5 until around 04 or so when the ZF6 replaced it.

 

Thanks.
