SunCoast Performance 5R110 No Walk Center Support - 5R-NWCS
The center support on a transmission is a critical component that could make the difference between success or failure. The center support acts as a stabilizer, just as our lower back and abdominal muscles support us. With the TorqShift being such a long unit, over time, the torsional flexing distorts the case, and the center support can sag and become displaced. The TorqShift relies on the center support to also apply fluid feed to the direct and forward clutches. When this distortion occurs, the fluid feed holes for direct and forward can become misaligned. This is especially true when towing heavy loads or under moderate-to-hard acceleration. This will also lead to premature failure and burnt clutches.
SunCoast has developed a new 5R110 No Walk Center Support to correct this issue. With this now being corrected, the need for the direct solid modification is no longer needed. We originally created this modification before learning about the torsional effect.
