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.

Wonderful guy on the front desk. Super personable, knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Explained to me in detail what the issues were and the cost associated with it.
