What Are High-Performance Transmissions?

 

Transmissions are integral to all types of automobiles, but some vehicles have high-performance transmissions that operate at another level.

What is a high-performance transmission?

High-performance transmissions have specifications that allow them to operate within high-performance vehicles. These include custom hot rods, race vehicles, sport turners, and muscles cars. These non-standard vehicles have different needs from a regular sedan, station wagon, or SUV. Drivers of these vehicles do more than commute to work or pick up groceries in them. That’s why their transmissions have to be different.

 

High-performance transmissions have the same basic functions and components as any other transmission does. Like any transmission, a high-performance transmission converts power generated by the engine and delivers that power through the driveline to the axles. The axles spin and this, of course, turns the wheels. The transmission also allows for gear changing. The main difference you see in a high-performance transmission is that it can handle much higher speeds.

Servicing high-performance transmissions

High-performance transmissions are far from run-of-the-mill, so it takes specialized knowledge and skills to service them. Specialized equipment might also be necessary. People often invest a lot of time and money into their custom vehicles, so they only want experts servicing and repairing their high-performance transmissions. They want Mister Racing.

Chris Richards
After talking with Kris on the phone, I felt comfortable that he knew the particular issues related to a 24-year old (2001) 4R100 Ford transmission, coupled with a 7.3 diesel, and gained my trust that they had the knowledge and expertise to overhaul it. I questioned him in advance about the parts they would use and the staff member that would do the work. Was a good experience. He knew that I used the truck for trailer-towing and recommended some specific parts/upgrades for hauling. I'll be towing across Canada this year, and if you don't see any further comments or a rating less than 5-star, assume that the transmission is tugging away nicely without issues. Thanks Kris and Dawn.

Wes was awesome to deal with! I booked in our van to have a transmission cooler, fluid and filter change. He informed me that there was no need as the factory one was quite large and would handle our demands. Didn't try to upsell , he was very was professional , shop was tidy and the front staff were great! Absolute perfect 5 !
