Every SMR TRANSMISSION is designed for its' specific application and features varying combinations of modification and aftermarket components to provide you with the OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY

EACH SMR TRANSMISSION IS HAND ASSEMBLED INDIVIDUALLY AND BLUEPRINTED ASSURING THAT EVERY SPECIFICATION AND DETAIL IS STRICTLY ADHERED TO.

QUALITY FEATURES INCORPORATED INTO ALL SMR TRANSMISSIONS (except as noted-see specific model specs for greater detail)

CASE SELECTION and PREPARATION
  • Chemically cleaned & inspected for cracks, flaws stripped threads and warpage
  • Removal of Flashings to reduce stress
  • Honing of servo bores and re-surfacing of mating surfaces
  • Sprag races are inspected, restaked and replaced as necessary
  • Installation of new neutral switch, cooler fittings,throttle and tail seals and plastic dipstick, cooler and spedo holes
  • Drain plugs are added for ease of maintenance
  • Painted a durable high gloss orange to asist in detecting cracks, oil leaks and prevent oil buildup and ease cleaning for storage and installation (except CLASSIC Restoration series)

CLUTCHES, BANDS & SPRAG
  • All frictions are new high temperature performance lined clutch plates. Precisely selected to provide the ultimate in shift quality, cooling and load capacity for the specific application.  Special blends of Kevlar, resins and high energy fibers are selected.
  • Extra plates are utilized to increase laod capacity in high torque and overdrive applications.
  • New steels and hand surfaced pressure plates utilizing the appropriate surface texture required for optimum fluid retention and clutch performance.
  • Varying thicknesses of clutch steels, selective snap rings, fiber washers and bearings are utilized to obtain precision tolerances to achieve optimum performance and durability.
  • All bands used in shifting applications or transbrake functions are new severe duty high temperature or Kevlar lined.
  • Severe duty sprag elements, sprag races and bolt-in overrunning clutchs are installed in specific applications.

SERVOS, ACCUMULATORS, DRUMS, HUBS, BUSHINGS, BEARINGS, SPRINGS and SEALS
    • All of these components are resurfaced, rebuilt, modified or replaced with superior aftermarket components to provide the ultimate lubrication, performance and reliability.
    • All aluminum supports and several other parts are Molybdenum burnished to provide anti galling and anti friction performance
    • All pump gears and pressure plates are hand surfaced to assure and absolutely flat surface
    • The latest advancements are incorporated into each transmission upon construction.

VALVEBODY

  • Each valvebody is resurfaced, carefully inspected, then modified to provide the ultimate  shift control, converter fill, cooling and lubrication for the application.

SPECIAL GEAR RATIOS, GEAR MATERIALS, BILLIT, LIGHTWEIGHT AND ALUMINUM COMPONENTS AND ROLLERIZATION ARE AVAILABLE AT ADDITIONAL COST.
