You can get at dealer only. SP is for the torque shift tranny's only in a Super Duty with diesel and V10 motors only. Use only SP fluid only. I have Super Duty and it has same stuff. Torque Shift Tranny's are in the newer SD I think 04 and newer.

TorqShift started in 2003 with the 6.0L diesel. In 2005 the 5.4L and 6.8L also got the TorqShift.

Ford/Motorcraft raised the prices to dealers again on 10/01, so it is more like liquid platinum now. Current suggested retail price is like $78 for a case of 12 quarts...

So, I see in the tech folder, the flush technique is not working, anyone able to get it repaired? I am at 80,000 Km and could probably just drain the pan and refill, but I was thinking I should also change the external filter and try the flush? Problem is the instructions stop at pan drain and dont explain the hose attachments to drain the converter properly from the external lines. Could someone walk through the process after draining pan and refiling, then I connect 1/2 inch OD tube too?, 1/2 inch inside d tube too, and pump dirty oil from return line into measured container while pouring in clean into tranny fill tube? PLus, wow, 20 quarts of Mercon SP is going to require a take out mortgage, maybe I should just get a case and drain pan and change external filter?
