Upgraded Smart-Tech® Converter Clutch Info:
Captive clutch failure in the Ford 6R140 is a chronic problem that is difficult to address with stock components or traditional methods. The Sonnax Smart-Tech converter clutch kit’s upgraded components significantly improve 6R140 durability.
Unlike most lockup converters, the 6R140 clutch does not engage the front cover — it moves away from the engine block and engages a stamped, steel backing plate, which is relatively thin and prone to flex.
Another weak point is the OE clutch, which is held together by a set of small, weak leaf springs. These springs are often broken or on the verge of breaking, causing the OE steel clutch plates to break loose and gouge the cover splines. Clutch failure occurs when damage and debris become severe, a particularly frequent issue in heavy-duty trucks that put massive stress on converter components.
• High-quality, forged components guarantee better TCC durability and fitment than stock parts
• Rigid backing plate with integrated clutch plate reduces flex and provides a more durable clutch reaction surface than the OE
• Custom coil springs and retainer pins ensure quiet, rattle-free performance
• Extends working height of the front cover lip, minimizing the need to weld a renewal ring to the impeller
• Contains OE friction clutch plate
