The Guardian
The SunCoast Guardian 4R100 transmission rebuild kit has everything listed in our Category 0 4R100 transmission rebuild kit, with the addition of our bushing kit, TransGo Tugger Kit, solenoid pack, 45 element intermediate sprag, and intermediate band.
The 4R Platform
The 4R100 transmission replaced the E40D transmission for the 1999 year model and was mated to the 7.3L Power Stroke diesel through the 2003 model year Ford trucks. The 4R100 proved to be a fairly reliable transmission in stock performance levels, however once power adders are introduced the transmission, becomes the weak link in the drivetrain.
This electronically controlled overdriven unit boast a first gear ratio of 2.71:1 and a second of 1.54:1, which makes it great for towing and hauling with an .71, overdrive fuel economy is also improved.
The Clutch Kit
This new 4R100 rebuild kit includes Alto Red Eagle clutches along with Kolene steels.
Red Eagle Friction is the go-to material for most performance applications. The lining has a unique dual-saturation, which imparts high friction coefficients and high heat resistance. Red Eagle clutches are designed to limit the amount of "slip" by providing a shorter lock-up time, generating less heat.
The proprietary process starts with the friction paper saturated in a phenolic resin, cured, and then saturated a second time in a silicate. The silicate imparts high heat resistance.
Red Eagle clutches:
- Are designed with a softer, more resilient base paper
- Assure less wear against opposing steel plates
- Reduce the incidence of steel plates burning and warping
Transgo Valve Body Calibration Kit
The valve body is the central nervous system of your transmission. Everything that transpires within the unit begins here. In SunCoast's builds, they exclusively use the TransGo HD2 Tugger Kit. This valve body calibration kit is perfect for exhaust braking and doubles the low clutch holding pressure in manual first gear for reliable downhill braking. You also have the ability to adjust shift firmness to your desired preferences. With the improved converter feed capacity, you benefit with better cooling and lubrication.
Corrects/Prevents/Reduces:
- Codes 628, P1740, P1744
- Soft shifts
- 2nd and 3rd burn-up
- Converter burn-up
- Reverse delay
- No reverse hot
- Converter slide/shudder
- Pump buzz
Also Includes:
- Pressure regulator boost valve
- 1-2 shift valve spring
- Line regulator valve
- Innovative line-to-lube components
- High temp direct clutch seal
- Coast clutch HD snap ring
- OD housing spiral lock snap ring
- Updated direct clutch outer seal
- Calibration plate for firmness adjustments
- Quick-fill valve
- L/R mod boost valve
New Solenoid Pack
The 4R100 is equipped with a solenoid pack that controls shifting from gear to gear. This solenoid pack is comprised of electromagnetic solenoids. The integrity of these solenoids is imperative, as the flow rate and spray pattern could affect shift quality and clutch life. When failure occurs within the unit, it is not uncommon that the same particles and sediments you find in the bottom of the pan are also in the solenoids. This contamination of the solenoids can and will affect the fluid delivery to critical circuits within the unit.
In this SunCoast 4R100 rebuild, kit they replace the solenoid pack with a new one to ensure consistent shifts and long clutch life.
New Bushing Kit
As with any standard rebuild, this 4R100 rebuild kit also includes a new bushing kit, which also includes a new front pump bushing.
Intermediate Band
This SunCoast Category 4R100 Rebuild Kit also includes a new carbon fiber band. This band is used in manual second gear and during downshift engine braking. The carbon fiber material in this band is made to withstand a much higher heat range versus the factory material.
Fitment:
- 1999-2003 F250 7.3L Powerstroke with 4R100 transmission
- 1999-2003 F350 7.3L Powerstroke with 4R100 transmission
For 4R100 transmissions only: this kit will only fit F250 & F350 7.3L Powerstrokes with 4R100 transmissions.
Core Charge: the solenoid pack included in this kit carries a core charge. This charge will be refunded back to you once SunCoast receives your stock solenoid pack, inspects it, and finds it in acceptable condition.
