This assembly is a comprehensive collection of components necessary for overhauling a specific automatic gearbox found in Ford trucks equipped with the 7.3-liter Power Stroke diesel engine. It typically includes friction clutches, steel plates, seals, gaskets, filters, and potentially other wear items. An example of its use is when a vehicle exhibits slipping gears, harsh shifting, or complete transmission failure.
The significance of utilizing this set lies in restoring the functionality and extending the lifespan of the transmission. Addressing wear and tear prevents further damage to internal parts, potentially saving on more extensive and costly repairs down the line. Furthermore, it offers a cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire unit. Historically, these kits became increasingly relevant as these trucks aged and transmissions accumulated higher mileage.
