The forward clutch drum has been one of the weak points of the 200-4R. Bruce Toelle of Performance Transmissions/ The 2004rPerformance Center, has developed a more durable intermediate shaft that is fused to the OEM Stamped Steel Forward Drum. We have made these and drumshafts with aerospace technology. People at Aerojet, NASA, and Boeing all assisted me in this project. Design was at Aerojet, material help from NASA, and testing with Boeing. There is additional material through the inner diameter of the shaft to provide superior strength. This is the answer to many prayers by the heavy hitters. Anyone considering low 12 second or faster times in the quarter mile, or putting power to a heavy street car, should consider upgrading to the newly available forward drum and input shaft. It is reported to handle 4 times the amount of torque that the stock drum is able to. Metal fatigue eventually takes its toll when the drum is highly stressed on a consistent basis. The intermediate shaft that is welded to the drum is the component that snaps, usually right at the base of the spline area. The New PTS-1 Drum is then fitted with a needle thrust bearing which replaces the original plastic thrust washer. All shafts are made from the most durable material available. Extra material, reinforces the drum floor, to provide strength through the drum face. The New Billet Intermediate Shaft is then "Laser Fused", front and back,into drum for some serious reinforcement!!!!! The input shafts are just plain "awesome" too!!!!! Includes: Od Center support machined for drum and hand fit Teflon rings, bearing installed. (Core charges may apply.)
All orders over $300 have free shipping with the mention of this add.
Parts in stock and ready to ship.
