BROADER Performance C4 big block race trans

I have been looking for a new trans for my drag Race car and the Broader trans looks good to me . Could any body tell me if these transmission s can be built with a 6 pinion planitary . We have had some failers and would like the 6 pinion set up .

As I understand it, the 3-pinion has plenty of strength, except the individual pinion (planet gear) thrust washers fail under high horsepower thrust loads. This is apparently why the factory went to double thrusts in the C5. The needle bearing upgrade (under the pinion planet gears - not just the body) in the Broader 3-pinion allows it able to handle the higher HP. Have you talked to him about it? (817) 599-9400 I'd be curious to hear what he tells you.

Re: BROADER Performance C4 big block race trans

I was running a C5 with a Hughes race kit with manual valve body when I broke two planet Gears behind my 308 inch engine .this is why I was looking for something better to run with my stoker . BROADER was not open so i will contact them on Tuesday to see what HE says. thank for your help .
