Manufacturer's Product Description:

Car makers don’t often collaborate on projects, especially when they’re direct competitors. However, looming government fuel economy and emissions mandates can make strange bedfellows. And so, the Ford 10R60 10-speed automatic transmission was born. It was co-developed with General Motors, although Ford apparently took the engineering lead on the design. The mission was to create a 10 speed transmission that could improve both the fuel efficiency and performance of high-horsepower engines. The resulting Ford 10R60 transmission was advanced enough to handle the power of the Ford Explorer and Ford Bronco.

Like it or not, a CVT transmission is one of the most efficient gearboxes ever invented. Because there are no actual gears, optimal engine speed can be continuously maintained depending on the load. This allows for seamless acceleration under hard throttle, and lower fuel consumption when you’re just cruising. On a traditional geared transmission, a certain amount of energy gets lost every time a gear ratio is changed. This penalizes both fuel economy and performance, because the engine has to climb back to the RPMs it was just at. The Ford 10R60 10-speed transmission is designed to combine the efficiency benefits of a CVT, with the stepped feel of a traditional automatic transmission.

To create this optimal blend of performance and efficiency, the 10R60 transmission has a wide 7.39 gear ratio spread and a low 4.70 first gear for maximum performance off-the-line. Even though this Ford 10 speed automatic transmission has such a wide gear ratio, it has extremely small steps between the gears. This means the engine RPM only drops (approximately) 20% with each shift, which keeps the engine in the ideal RPM range to achieve either peak performance or efficiency (much like a CVT transmission). The Ford 10R60 also has three overdrive gears, which it can downshift from very quickly.

10R60 Transmission Gear Ratios
First – 4.70
Second – 2.99
Third – 2.15
Fourth – 1.80
Fifth – 1.52
Sixth – 1.28
Seventh – 1.00
Eighth – 0.85
Ninth – 0.69
Tenth – 0.64
Reverse – 4.87

As shown above this transmission offers a beautiful shift recovery in every gear which lends itself the perfect unit for narrow power bands. This allows the use of much larger camshafts in a naturally aspirated application. If you are looking into going to a forced induction setup this shift recovery allows for larger turbo and AR housing for max performance.

Newly Designed Thermal Flow Control Filter

This 10R60 transmission has a newly designed filter has two types of media, fine and course (medium). The course media is common in most filters (orange filter paper), the fine media filtration (White paper) is the newer material. There is a thermal plate inside the filter that separates the course and fine media. When the oil is colder (higher viscosity) at startup, The fluid will flow through both the fine and course filter media.

As the fluid heats up (less viscosity) , the thermal plate will bend and restrict the coarse media section; directing most of the fluid through the fine media. Therefore catching more of the finer debris once the fluid is heated giving it a far superior filtration system.

This new Suncoast 10R60 rebuild kit comes with a new factory filter to ensure zero flow issues.

The Clutches

Raybestos Powertrain GPZ friction plates greatly increase transmission performance and durability. This state-of-the-art friction material far exceeds OE material to withstand high stress, high temperatures and repeated cycling. GPZ's outstanding performance benefits are perfect for heavy-duty vehicles and high-stress driving. Testing of GPZ revolutionary friction material shows that it outperforms OE materials by as much as 20%. Plus, its performance improves as the power increases.

Product Function & Benefits

Optimized Performance:
Automatic transmissions are somewhat complex and consist of many moving parts (and fluid). Upgraded transmissions typically hold more power than stock transmissions.In most cases, a transmission upgrade will allow for faster, firmer shifts which results in faster acceleration.
One of the primary components of a transmission upgrade is the use of upgraded friction materials such as GPZ. High-quality friction materials aid in better transfer of power, improved clutch engagement (especially in high-stress applications), improved heat management, increased durability and improved longevity.

Tune-Related Impact & Tuner Recommendation

Recommended vs Required:
• Upgrading the transmission is not required for tuning. However, it is strongly recommended for certain builds.
• Building the transmission provides support for max effort builds, specific use cases or modifications, such as: running e50-e60 with upgraded turbos and fuel system (10r60) or running e85 with upgraded turbos and fuel system (10r80).
• A built transmission can be especially useful for customers who tow often or heavy loads.
• Upgraded transmissions may require a tune.
• This upgrade should be discussed with us in advance so we can provide an adequate tune update in a timely manner.

Explorer-Specific Information

Our recommendations for transmission builds vary according to your goals and build plans. We carry a wide selection of rebuild kits from Suncoast (suncoastdiesel.com)and recommend the use of Raybestos (raybestospowertrain.com)GPZ friction material in all builds. We generally recommend the use of the manufacturers specified transmission fluid, such as Ford spec ULV with GPZ materials (XT12QULV from Ford (https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/fluids-chemicals-and-lubricants/automatic-transmission-fluids/automatic-transmission-fluid-oil-p-xt12qulv?pdp=y)or Suncoast)(https://suncoastdiesel.com/i-30501134-ultra-low-viscosity-transmission-fluid-case-of-3.html). Other fluids may be appropriate for specific applications.

Re-clutches (Stage 0-1 rebuild)
Ideal for mild builds that generate 40% or less torque over stock.

Full Transmission Builds
Such as the RSA (rsarace.com)Built Transmission, ideal for builds that generate 40% or more torque than stock.

There are many model-specific and engine-specific variants. Please read product descriptions and vehicle fitment information carefully before purchasing. Please reach out and let us know how we can help you navigate this upgrade or build plan.
