Ford Performance Transmissions
To some it is a challenge to simply dissemble and assemble a Ford transmission.
BDs challenge was to examine the mechanical design and study the shift
strategy with the goal to improve the durability and driving experience.
The normal smooth shifting associated with Ford transmissions produces
heat and advanced wear that severely shortens life. The BD transmission
and convertor clutches are mechanically and pneumatically designed not
to slip. The new shift strategy change results in "Quick Sharp Shifts."
Enhancements to achieve this include new control valve designs, higher
pressures as well as improved internal oil flow enhancements of the existing
port sizes. Additional oil passages have been added to route the oil to
assist the current Ford splash lubrication design.
Torque load capacity was improved by adding 33% more clutch surface to
each of the 4 clutch packs. The planetary gear packs are special high
strength steel and the new heavy duty roller one way Sprague clutches
maintain directional stability and dont explode.
Each transmissions shift pattern and oil pressures are tested on BD's
Transmission Dynamometer then matched to a torque convertor and packaged
in durable plastic molded cases for shipping.
Torque convertors are not included in the kit price but the deep sump
cover is!
