Transmission Failure and Snowplowing

7437758
Snowplow season is upon us for many across the country.  

Plowing and towing at low speeds with an automatic transmission can produce a huge amount of heat, and when it comes to transmission life and longevity, heat is the number one enemy.

If you find yourself needing to rebuild or upgrade your transmission this winter, and you will be plowing or towing, we really recommend our high performance rebuild kits. Our HP kits come with Red lined clutches and Black Kolene steel plates. These clutches are specifically designed to handle 300% more heat than the factory type clutches, and considerably more than the HD high energy clutches. We have HP rebuild kits from Oregon Performance Transmission for the Ford, Chevy, and Dodge transmissions, as well as top quality shift kits to compliment your rebuild.

Our high performance rebuild kits can be found by clicking on the popular transmission application links below.

Chevrolet HP Rebuild Kits
• TH350
• TH400
• 700R4
• 4L60E
• 4L80E

Dodge HP Rebuild Kits
• A904
• A727
• A518, 46rh, 46re
• A618, 47re, 47rh
• 48re

Ford HP Rebuild Kits
• C4
• C6
• AOD
• AODE, 4R70W, 4R75W, 4R70E, 4R75E
• E4OD, 4R100

Even though it’s winter and cold outside, if you are snowplowing or towing, we strongly recommend installing a transmission cooler as well. Our best-selling transmission cooler is the 47391 40,000 GVW Low Pressure Drop cooler from Tru-Cool. This cooler is a work horse and will definitely help keep your transmission temperatures low. You can find it on our website, https://www.oregonperformancetransmission.com under part number LNG-47391.

As always, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to email us at sales@oregonperformancetransmission.com

Ford and GM join forces to produce new 10-speed automatic transmission.

Beginning in 2017 we will begin seeing this beast of a transmission that was recently developed in partnership by Ford and GM. While the name of the transmission has yet to be finalized, it’s looking like Ford will call this the 10R80 transmission, while Chevy is looking at the 10L90 name. This new 10-speed transmission is modeled in part off the Hydra-matic automatic transmission series. We will be seeing a lower first gear compared to the prior 8-speed from GM, 7th gear being 1:1, and 8-10th gears being overdrive speeds with 10th being a ratio of .64.

The 6L series transmissions had a lot of complaints about shift quality. While this definitely improved with the 8L series, they have pushed this 10L series to an entirely new level of shift quality, clearly evidenced by this video of the 2017 650 HP ZL1 Camaro. The Camaro ran an outstanding 7:29.6 lap time around the Nurburgring, which was more than 11 seconds faster than the previous generation ZL1.

We hear this new tranny will be in some of the Ford trucks in 2017, including the Raptor, and should possibly make it’s way into the Mustang by 2018. On the GM side, it will be starting in the ZL1 Camaro in 2017, and is rumored to be filtering out into trucks, SUV’s and possibly the Cadillac V-series cars.

Stay tuned!
