Ford F-150 Transmission Components

A properly functioning transmission is absolutely paramount to the safety of a car. It regulates the power to the wheels, so your car drives at the intended speed. Similar to a multi-speed bike, the transmission shifts the gears. However, if parts of the transmission start to wear out or break down, you will lose fuel economy and even worse, your car won’t operate at all. Most modern cars use automatic transmissions, but some drivers still prefer a manual transmission. Regardless of your vehicle’s type of transmission, Ford Parts Center can supply highly-rated replacement transmission parts for your F-150. We sell our parts at the industry’s best prices. Save money at the auto shop, and buy your parts directly from us. We make it easy to find the exact parts you need.

OEM Ford Flywheel

A flywheel is a large metal disc that attaches to the crankshaft of your engine. It smoothes the rotation of the engine and helps regulate gear changes in manual transmission vehicles. It helps ease the flow of acceleration with the engine. Flywheels can last for a very long time but sometimes, they need to be replaced. The teeth of the flywheel can become crooked and uneven. If you are driving with a bad flywheel, your car’s transmission will be significantly rougher. Browse our selection of replacement flywheels for your Ford F-150.

Drive Plate

A drive plate also known as a flex plate is a large metal disc that connects the input from a torque converter to the output of your Ford F-150’s engine. It takes the place of a flywheel in an automatic transmission vehicle. Drive plates are much lighter and smoother than a flywheel, because they don’t interact with a clutch. A flex plate is more sensitive to the relationship between the transmission and engine. Over time, the flexplate can become cracked or the teeth may wear out. This will start to cause an internal wobble and create a grinding engine noise. Listen to the transmission bell while the engine is idle. If you drive to long with a damaged or warped drive plate, your engine can get damaged. Find the exact replacement you need for your Ford F-150 by just entering the VIN in our search engine.

Converter

A pivotal component to a functioning automatic transmission system, the torque converter regulates the fluid passed to your engine, so it continues running at a dead stop. If this part starts to act up, your vehicle could start dangerously slipping at stops. Get an auto mechanic to check your converter for safety, but you will be able to spot some symptoms that it’s time for a replacement. A bad converter will start to overheat due to a drop in fluid pressure. The transmission may start slipping due to excessive fluid on the gears. Your vehicle will start to get worse gas mileage, and it won’t properly accelerate. When you are driving at moderate speeds, you may notice an odd bumpy feeling. A bad converter will cause this shuddering and may come and go, but it is a clear sign of trouble.
