For the higher horsepower applications the automatic transmission and converter combination is more often than not more durable and reliable than the clutch and standard gear box combination. All converters also have a built-in fluid dampening feature. A clutch on the other hand, simply is along for the ride by connecting the engines power to drive-line. These torque converters have the ability to multiply the engines torque during the stall phase. From an efficiency standpoint, today’s automatic transmissions incorporate a more efficient torque converter that is specifically built for each application. Why is the automatic transmission generally perfered over a stick shift transmission?įrom a convenience stand point, most high performance automatic transmissions have the ability to be shifted manually or automatically. Running in reverse (3) minutes will give any contaminants in the transmission, converter, cooler or lines a chance to settle into the transmission pan and not be introduced to the automatic shift control part of the valve body or governor, causing the shift valves to stick. Platinum Racing Products GT-R RB Powerglide Conversion KitThis kit allows you to convert your R32, R33, R34 GT-R to run the world renown Powerglide. Shift transmission into reverse and let run approximately (3) minutes.

Then place transmission into neutral, start engine, and quickly add transmission fluid until it reaches the full mark (pan rail level on most applications) on the dipstick. After installation of the transmission and convertor is complete, pour (4-5) quarts of transmission fluid into the transmission. Most of the fluid is contained in the torque convertor. The transmission and torque convertor can take anywhere from 9 to 13 quarts of fluid. How much transmission fluid does my transmission take? We do not recomend synthetic transmission fluids. Both of these fluids contain zinc which is the primary additive for proper lubrication for high performance transmissions. Both of these fluids are natural Petrolium based. For Extreme Duty applications we only recommend the use of ULX-110 type fluid. What kind of transmission fluid should I use?įor Street and Street/Strip applications we only recommend the use of Ford type "F" Transmission fluid.
