Transmission PlanetaryGear SetSuit GMPowerglide with 1.80 Ratio,Forged Output Shaft, Long ShaftBrand: HUGHESPart Number: HTHP7444Description: Hughes Performance is proud to present its all billet planetary gear set for aluminium Powerglides -- with a 1.80:1 gear ratio that's ideal for today's big-cubic-inch motors. This extremely stout gear set features new E9310 gears (eight pieces), a new forged ring gear a new forged planetary housing, 9310 pins, and new washers and needle bearings. The forged billet output shaft offers excellent torsion memory, which means you can twist it, but they virtually can't break it -- and it's available in long, medium (4 link dragster ) and "shorty" versions.
Other aftermarket companies only offer planetary sets with steeper gears, but Hughes knows they just don't work as well as 1.80's with the torque output of the big motors today -- not to mention the hard-hit/soft transition torque converters and improved tire compounds.
We have had so much success with this assembly, we nowhave an even higher low gear ratio. We have released a 1.69 to 1 low gearset, which will give you an even deeper low gear ratio. this is even more ideal for the higher horsepower and torque outputs of today's motors. In addition, we have manufactured these gears with a spur (straight) cut design with even more strength for absorbing more horsepower and torque than ever before! The design also eliminates most of the end thrust of helical units which allows for higher m.p.h. in most cases.
In addition, we have a 1.80 to 1 low gearset, giving you three selections of gear ratios for most any type drag racing, no matter what weight, horsepower or hot rod you race.
