Diesel engine firing torsionals are much higher than gas firing torsionals. Every time the engine fires the clutch damper takes a hit and eventually the damper springs wear out and break. When the springs in the damper are gone the diesel firing torsionals get through to the clutch and cause it to at first just slip a little during each engine firing. After a bit of this minor slipping the clutch begins to wear and slip more and more until wears and overheats and is eventually destroyed.

Ford now has a 5R110W which is rated at 1100 ft.lbs. but it is the first offering so we will have to see what happens. Some of the earlier E4OD and 4R100 automatics with a converter clutch in the diesel applications got the converter cover so hot that it turned blue. That's hot and really working the lockup damper to maximum!

Don't know about the Zed F manual stuff.
