torqueshift opperation
a while back someone did a good job explaining the workings of the torqueshift. i did a search but could find anything. i want to post on another non ford site that the torqueshift is really a 6 spd but only uses 5 at any given time.

BTS and Tq shift
I spoke with Brian of BTS (Brians Truck Shop), he is the E4OD/4R100 Guru. He said that Ford stepped back ten years into the past when they designed the torqueshift 5r110 transmission. He didnt only tell me, he showed me. The weak point is The old style sprag clutch. There is a much better/ updated one but ford used the old style which is prone to failure. WHY ???? He also went on to say that Fords programming will never work with this transmission. He has hard parts out now for the Tqshift, but is still working on his stand alone control module. He said that the transmission would be fine as long as no HP upgrades or heavy towing is done. Guess I have to run the Quad 160 in the stock mode until I can afford a Xmsn upgrade. I think psd60fx4 can attest to this, last I spoke to him on the phone his Xmsn was on its way out the door.
