Transmission Q+A at Hughes Performance USA

[@theskidfactory]

Pete is a legend, he's forgotten more than I know.

[@MafiaboysWorld]

And you've forgotten more than 99% of us know Al. 👍

[@DeathBaseTURBO]

That's unique way of putting it haha

[@dylanmarshall3112]

Allan i know you have done jz into cresida etc but im currently about to shoehorn a 1j in a corona... Toyodas ugly brother haha. Any tips other then leaf spring bush engine mounts 😂

[@HughesPerformance]

Thanks for the opportunity mate! We had a great time hosting you legends!!

[@xgford94]

This is how all sponsors should “sell” with full on knowledge...Hughes..and Haltec for the win

[@Babarudra]

Holley used to be, now they're a faceless conglomerate.

[@Wilbure]

i think when you know you have a good product and a good fan base you can do that and it works out well. a lot of companies are fighting hard for a piece of the pie and have inferior products or are so mass produced nowadays like holley that they've abandoned this approach. hughes seems like a great company.

[@aaronkent76]

This is one of the best transmission conversation on the internet thank you

[@DeathBaseTURBO]

One of the few people i know that doesn't open their mouth far yet speak clearly, gets my thumbs up

[@jonathanpatchett7567]

Very informative vid Benny! Thanks for asking my question too 🤙👌

[@kaydog890]

That's the best like to dislike ratio I've ever seen. Truly well done video, he knows his shit and explained it well. Thank you

[@blackmanops3749]

Just seeing this. Thanks for pulling this together!

[@clinty51]

A perfect person to explain wizardry. A super conversant Wizard, all those numbers and info just right there...awesome

Sooooooooooooo, autos are black magic and need an expert. Thanks for the in depth run down guys 👍

I'm still chuckling over the "box of neutrals" remark.

Looks like im booking a flight from Vic to Qld then. Can't wait

[@JonnyTeMoni]

Al: How you keep a 4l60e alive. Hughes Performance: Stock Their Rubbish. Don't.

[@boatdude12]

Such a fantastic video. I don't think I knew any of those things.

[@dandewar8403]

Awesome Benny more vids like this please, definitely will be looking to get Hughes parts for my 4L60E now👍🏻

[@wobblysauce]

Sonics.

[@dandewar8403]

ChrisHallett83 will the stock ecu still run this box??

[@HughesPerformance]

@@dandewar8403 you can 4L80E (or 4L85E) swap an LS-based vehicle and re-use the original PCM to run the 4L80E after performing a segment swap in the PCM via HP Tuners (or similar). We sell a conversion harness that installs between the 4L60E harness and 4L80E case connector to help make the conversion very simple instead of having to re-pin the vehicle harness. Harness part number 25-120 covers 4L80E & 4L85E transmissions from 1993-2006. Harness part number 25-121 covers 4L80E & 4L85E transmissions from 2007-on. 1991-1992 4L80E transmissions require an update to the 1993-2006 internal wiring harness & case connector (which we also have available).

[@StreetDreamzTT]

Great stuff man. Will check out the other vids you mentioned.

[@ryan8488]

Damn, always great to hear from experts in their field

[@Wilbure]

i'm learnding, great video guys

[@jaredfarney675]

i really enjoyed the Tech. 2nd gear trans break for the Win! I was not aware of it.

[@dielauwen]

Got more info from this video that I have gotten in years. Thanks

[@pirkkaruuska5766]

Loved this. Learned so much once again. Gotta go and check out HP channel next.

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Pirkka Ruuska so did I :D

[@dereknicholson4831]

The turban is only used in Sikh transmissions. The rest use turbines. :)

[@floydmayer]

Would love to know an opinion on the Torqueflite boxes.. great vid!

[@P967t3w5]

Cool dude. Cool video

[@lcaptmorg]

Pete you are the man. I would tell the long story but thats all you need you know. Get your trans from Hughes. Talk to Pete and be done with it. 24 years and 5 cars later I speak from experience

[@BennysCustomWorks]

100% agree

[@damnationswarhead8005]

Great vid Ben :) thankyou and Pete :)

[@barrybrown4639]

Do you build a dump valve for turbo 350.

[@lancelaprarie6128]

Great stuff

[@glenstacey3740]

Great vid! Cheers👍

[@mrAudisubaru]

If i am not wrong the ZF transmissions actually use a torque converter lock up clutch that uses fluid pressure to engage the lock up clutch and not disengage it somebody correct me if i am wrong.

[@ToddLarsen]

Hey Benny, Are you guys still in Arizona? And if so can I buy you guys some lemon Squashes? Thanks for sharing and as always keep building👍

[@BennysCustomWorks]

[@UnexplainedHoveringSpheroid]

I never knew Americans used turbans instead of turbines 😂🤣

[@craigmandall9420]

Here's me thinking a turban is what arabs wear on their heads. I feel so stupid

[@robmatthewswoodturning4988]

Turbine rhymes with Engine.

[@neiltitmus9744]

That's a Sikh joke

[@neiltitmus9744]

Arabs don't wear turbans

[@HughesPerformance]

No worries mate. That's just yank speak.

[@adamreynolds1851]

Awesome

[@TommyTen10]

1:12 Wow torque convertors have turbans!!! I always thought they han turbines. Explains a lot of the US war 'successes'.

[@Pete-z6e]

Leandros Komninos , Han turbines?

[@HughesPerformance]

What do you expect from a bloody yank?? LOL

[@nordic5490]

he he, 'Turbin' pressure. Must be the pressure your turbin pushes down on your head.

[@pauljohnson7382]

Tree Killers insight...🤔

[@whatchu_talkin_john_willis]

must not be super familiar with the chrysler 47/48 converters behind the 6b engines. they'll hold all the torque

[@HughesPerformance]

We've only built a few thousand 47RH, 47RE, and 48RE torque converters. Not as much experience as some, more than others.

[@whatchu_talkin_john_willis]

@@HughesPerformance built alot of triple and "quad" friction converters? would think with how brutal a 2000hp 6bt is on torque, putting a similar lockup design behind a 1300-1800hp gasser would be a cake walk

[@HughesPerformance]

@@whatchu_talkin_john_willis yep, multi-disc diesel converters are no problem. Built plenty. Building a lock-up diesel converter vs. a lock-up converter for a high-HP drag racing application require different approaches depending on what transmission is being used. The technology doesn't always cross over. A 5,000+ horsepower Pro Mod engine puts a whole different load and strain on parts than a 2,000 horsepower 6BT.

[@whatchu_talkin_john_willis]

@@HughesPerformance so youre saying theres other black magic besides friction area and apply pressure? as far as i know thats basic level clutch operation

[@HughesPerformance]

@@whatchu_talkin_john_willis no, that isn't what we're saying at all. Our videos and information sharing are all pretty transparent. We aren't the type of company to operate or market via the smoke-and-mirrors approach. You've already made the assumption that we don't know what we're doing with Cummins diesel converters with your initial comment. If you have an angle you're working with your comments, we don't really like playing that game, so please be direct. If you have a point you're trying to make with your comments, please just make it. If you have specific questions you'd like to ask, please ask them and we'll be happy to provide answers to best of our abilities.
