When it comes to those who grew up surrounded by the complexities of a vehicle’s personality, sometimes the modern offerings of a 2018 Chevrolet Corvette aren’t enough to satisfy their desire for the classic 1970 Chevelle for which they have always dreamed. When someone in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is rebuilding their dream muscle car and finds that it’s time to locate the perfect high performance automatic transmission complementing their specific needs, calling Gearstar Performance Transmissions is the only option. They have over 18 years’ experience as a business, which doesn’t include the combined experience of 100 years of their expert technicians. This hot rod transmission builder focuses on the custom-built transmissions and converter needs of anyone from Hudson, Ohio, to San Diego, California, whether it’s a GM, Ford, or Mopar performance transmission. Anyone in Brooklyn, New York, and beyond looking for a Turbo 400 Transmission, or TH400, for their ’69 Chevy Nova — or a transmission that can handle anything to 1000+ horsepower — can find a complement to their specifications at Gearstar Performance Transmissions.
The gearhead in Brooklyn who has had her heart set on building a ’69 Nova knows that the place where she wants to invest her money is in the experience and knowledge provided by Gearstar Performance Transmissions when she prefers a Turbo 400 transmission, or TH400. Having this hot rod transmission builder fabricate the high performance automatic transmission that can handle her engine’s output is extremely important, since the TH400 is best being paired with engines that make far more torque. It is rated at a peak torque of 450 foot-pounds and is commonly used when rebuilding a muscle car, since it’s well-known for its impressive strength. The TH400 was a three-speed automatic developed by GM in 1964 and was in production for 27 years. It applied to a vast array of vehicles, not just General Motors.
There isn’t a standard definition for a muscle car, but most people agree that it’s a smaller, two-door car, with a high-displacement engine usually found in larger vehicles. Car enthusiasts in San Diego and beyond who are looking to commission a specialist to build their high performance automatic transmissions have long since passed the days of finding vehicles that need restored. They now have moved onto buying frames and motors separately, with engine hoists and air compressors a part of their normal garage repertoire; however, realize that the intricacies of any transmission require experts who possess great knowledge. Rebuilding a muscle car gradually allows anyone from Hudson to Fort Lauderdale to spread out their finances and make decisions when they are ready for them, and they want a high-quality company to be there for them every step of the way. Gearstar Performance Transmissions wants to ensure consistency through the process of building a custom-built transmission, so only one technician stays with each GM, Ford, or Mopar performance transmission throughout its entire process. Gearstar possesses such a great reputation in and out of the office, and Elizabath Paun of Hudson had this to say about their character:
“I’m going to place a review, not because I’ve had any work done to my vehicle by Gearstar Performance Transmissions but because of the character of their representation. I got a flat tire on route 8 outside of Hudson Ohio. It’s a very busy highway and just me, alone, trying to change a tire. Zack stopped and helped me, followed me to the gas station to get air in my spare and made sure I was on my way safely. Super great guy and so helpful and kind! Thank you so much Zack! you made a difficult situation more bearable. The way you conduct yourself off the clock is most certainly the way you do business and I would most certainly bring my vehicle there for service. Five star character!”
Gearstar Performance Transmissions excels at Turbo 400 transmissions, otherwise known as the TH400, for anyone from San Diego, California, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, requiring this custom-built transmission for rebuilding their dream muscle car. Not only do they specialize in GM high performance automatic transmissions, but also in Mopar and Ford. This hot rod transmission builder complements each transmission with the precise needs of the engine, horsepower and torque output, rear gear ratio, weight of the vehicle, and circumference of the rear wheel and tire. Anyone from Hudson, Ohio, to Brooklyn, New York, will be thrilled to discover the knowledge and excellence they will find at Gearstar Performance Transmissions!
