Luk TC0016 Automatic Transmission Torque Converter

LuK TC0016 Torque Converter Overview

The LuK TC0016 is a new automatic transmission torque converter built for the diesel 5R110W application in 2008-2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty trucks. It uses a quad-plate lock-up design, a 32-spline configuration, and precise OE-style dimensions for a direct replacement in the correct diesel setup.

Key Features

• Part number TC0016 for diesel 5R110W applications
• Quad-plate lock-up clutch for higher torque capacity
• 32-spline design with M10x1 stud thread diameter
• Outside diameter: 13.035 in. (331.1 mm)
• Body diameter: 12.795 in. (325 mm)
• Center hub outside diameter: 1.988 in. (50.5 mm)
• Center hub inside diameter: 1.713 in. (43.5 mm)
• Pilot diameter: 1.366 in. (34.7 mm)
• Fully furnace-brazed fins for added durability
• New unit construction with LuK friction material and INA thrust bearings

Detailed Description

LuK TC0016 is engineered as a standard replacement torque converter for the diesel version of the 5R110W transmission. Its quad-plate lock-up clutch increases torque handling compared with the OE single-plate design, while the matched dimensions help maintain proper fitment and drivability in 2008-2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty diesel trucks. The new-construction design avoids the uncertainty of remanufactured units and uses LuK friction material, INA thrust bearings, and furnace-brazed fins for consistent operation and long service life. This part cross-references 4840016770 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Torque converter clutch slip under diesel load
• Harsh or inconsistent lock-up engagement
• Wear concerns associated with remanufactured converters
• Fitment issues from incorrect transmission application selection
• Durability concerns in heavy-duty towing and hauling use

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle is equipped with the diesel 5R110W transmission before ordering. Verify the 32-spline configuration and dimensional match against the original converter and transmission setup. For 2008-2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty applications, follow factory service procedures for converter installation, fluid fill, and transmission reassembly. Inspect the flexplate, pump, and related transmission components before installation to help prevent repeat failure.

Quality Assurance

TC0016 is a new LuK torque converter built with all-new components, furnace-brazed fins, LuK friction material, and INA thrust bearings. The design is intended to provide consistent performance in diesel 5R110W applications and reduce the risks commonly associated with remanufactured converters.
