Default 1:82 Powerglide

Will a stock 1:82 gear set hold up in a 2200lb 600hp small block car with a brake?
Thanks

I warrenty OEM 1.82 gearsets right up to the time they pass thru the shop door!..LOL .........At 2200# and a smallblock, a 1.76 OEM set will probably last a long time....You'll probably twist the output shaft before you brake the gearset. ......Tom

I used to run one, in a big block 2350-2400 lb car (depending on ballast for track conditions), approximately 600 hp (and likely more torque than a similar hp small block). I probably broke a gearset a season, racing 1 or 2 times a week. Originally I was using a 1.82 for my "regular" trans, with a 1.96 as a spare and for high-elevation races. After breaking a few 1.82's and eventually breaking the 1.96, I switched to 1.76 as a primary, planning to run a 1.82 for elevation (but never got around to having it built). Still on the original 1.76 after a season, will see in a week or so if it still works.

Regards,

I have a friend that would foot brake his 421 sbc and blew his 1.82 out. My trans guy says about stock planetarys "its not if but when" I have twisted the input shaft twice on my 1.76 now have turbo spline and coan super set problem solved.I did run a stout 496 bb with a glide and stock 1.76 wuth a brake for 2 years before I pulled the trigger on the super set and 1.76 never broke I guess I was just lucky.

Bob , Bypass the brake output side of your delay box and power the brake solenoid to see if it applies and releases the brake properly. ...It could be a brake circuit relay sticking in the delay box , quite a few use electro-mechanical relays... ..it sounds as if the timer circuits are functioning correctly .....If it does it while bypassing the box,check the brake solenoid or the brake spool valve for sticking. .......Tom

Tom, can't do anything now as the trans is at the shop. I did tell him to put a new solenoid on it after it's freshened up..........but I'll ck the box when it's back together.........Thanks
