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.

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.

If you are looking to complete a band adjustment, torque specs, service a transmission, shift kits, or just doing a full rebuild on a unit, ATSG technical manuals are a must-have. The manuals cover many areas of transmission rebuild, including:

  • parts identification
  • exploded views 
  • wiring harness locations
  • hydraulic routing
  • electrical diagrams
  • internal planetary components
  • how to disassemble a transmission
  • how to rebuild the individual components
  • torque specs
  • valve body identification
  • extension housing overviews
  • how to assemble a transmission, and much, much more 

Our customers are routinely impressed with ATSG manuals and often recommend them to friends.  Here are a few recently received customer reviews:

“Really good book on transmission specifications and assembly”

“Nice manual, quality product”

“Just as promised.  Great book!”

“Everything I needed and then some.  Very accurate”

What is the difference between the blue cover book and the green cover book?

The blue cover book is the standard transmission rebuild manual.  This book will be your go-to guide for understanding and performing the process of transmission rebuilding.  If you are planning to rebuild your transmission and do not already have this manual, this is the one you will want and need. 

The green cover book the update manual.  This manual is intended for diagnostic work and/or troubleshooting codes.  While a few transmission updates are included in this manual, it relies primarily upon, and often refers back to, the original blue cover manual for rebuilding instructions.  Many DIY-er’s will not need this manual as it is most frequently used by professional shops.

What about these CD-ROM discs?

Some of the ATSG manuals are no longer available in paperback form.  Some obsolete books and/or less popular books have moved from book format to a mini-disc CD-ROM.  These discs are easy to use and will fit in the small, inner disc circle of any computer disc drive. 

Our ATSG service manuals now qualify for free U.S. shipping!
