This is the state-of-the-art transmission assembly. Forged from aluminum this much improved case assembly is far superior to the original equipment casting and is pre-SFI approved eliminating the need for any external shields. The case assembly is also available with bolt-on bell housings which allows us to adapt this unit to Ford and Chrysler products as well as GM. The Superglide is equipped with a band adjustment nut for quick low band changes at the racetrack, quick disconnect cooler lines, and an inner case liner for extra strength and durability. The Superglide case should be used on any Powerglide transmission where the engine is exceeding 750HP. The case assemblies can be ordered for any car regardless of manufacture and will greatly enhance the lifetime of your racecar's transmission.
