Powerglide Circle Track Race Transmission on 2040-parts.com
Webster, New York, United States
I have a fully rebuilt aluminum Power-glide race transmission. It is a direct drive, first gear only transmission with a TCI "dummy" torque converter. The transmission was fully rebuilt with a new reverse clutch pack, a new pump seal and gasket, a new higher flow filter, and both valve body gaskets are new. After the rebuild it was put on a transmission dyno and it was run in forward and reverse and the pressures were monitored. As shown in the pictures the transmission was ran at 966 rpm and the line pressure was at 155 psi which is a strong pressure for racing. The dyno also tested the function of the new clutch pack so when its in reverse we placed a load of 27% on it which is the equivalent of hauling a loaded trailer and the transmission didn't slip at all.

The Petersen Museum isn't going belly up
Thu, 18 Jul 2013I hate writing columns like this, the kind where one media outlet calls out another's mistakes. There but for the grace of God go I and all that… But the shrieking and hysteria over the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles going to hell in a handbasket -- that's what the LA Times reported -- is over the top, and it's turned into a fiasco. Here's the background.
2012 Lamborghini Aventador completes a mad trio of supercars headed to market
Thu, 19 May 2011If you thought the struggling global economy or high fuel prices might be hurting the world's supply of top-notch supercars, think again. Since March, AutoWeek editors have taken the wheel of not one, not two, but three of the most insane superperformers on the planet: the McLaren MP4-12C, the Ferrari FF, and most recently, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4. We see a few common threads: lots of lightweight aluminum and carbon-fiber materials, engines punching out more than 590 hp, automated-manual gearboxes, and prices that put them up against the average price of a three-bedroom home in most markets.
Pininfarina family to lose control of company
Wed, 15 Feb 2012The Pininfarina family is set to lose its controlling share stake in the company as it takes a step closer to restructuring its €76 million net debt. The Italian design firm, founded in 1930, has been plagued with debt in recent years, shutting its manufacturing branch in 2011 to concentrate purely on design, ending a joint venture with Volvo that saw the company assemble Volvo's C70. The move is seen as a positive one for the company in the long-term, making it more financially secure for future developments, but it also means that the Pininfarina family will lose control of the company by selling its 77 percent share.
