Strengthening Transmission parts?
 

Just curious to see if anyone has had success treating stock hard parts like out put shafts to make them stronger. Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Try cryogenic treating all the metal parts of the transmission. It worked real good on valve springs i was using. A friend has his metal brake rotors done on his road race car and he triple the life of the rotor. The company i used was 300 below in Indianapolis...Luke

Is REM finish an option? Seems like beyond the performance improvement may be stress riser reduction. Anyone?
Thanks

I would suppose that some sort of stress relief and or surface treatment might help. It depends upon the part. The OE likely spent nothing in those areas. But then, the OE parts are often not made of good enough material to see big gains, either.

Thanks for the input. I have a 2oor4 trans and no aftermarket available so was just seeing if any other treatments would help.

Actually, you need to contact Scott McClay and Lonnie Diers in Ohio. They have a few parts for it. If he's still around, Bruce Toelle (sp?) at Performance Transmission in California had some stuff, too. By the way, avoid the TransGo shift kit stuff like the plague, it causes a ton of problems. Use Sonnax and Superior instead, you'll be much happier.

Thanks Alan, I have the Mclay forward drum and billet anchor and the sonnax servo is my choice also. I am not aware of either company making out put shafts. I may try the chryo on a stocker.

Looking for GM 200R4 hi po parts ---look at ---CKperformance.com ----in New York has some HD parts listed for this transmission--I know nothing about him or his products other than he does make and sell stuff ---You are on your own here--FED 387

I've had good dealings with CK Performance. He offers a lot of parts for the TH-200-4R and some of course, is interchangeable with the TH-200.
