Hughes transmissions feature specially designed components that eliminate the weaknesses found in stock transmissions, such as slipping or damaging overlap.
Their heavy duty towing transmission packages remain industry leaders. Their build-ups are regularly evaluated and improved to include the latest modifications and advances in technology. These units are stronger than ever and their service life is unbeatable. Every package starts with their best tow converter that multiplies more torque to pull easier than ever before!
For that diesel enthusiast who is serious about performance and has modified his engine output, they have designed a torque converter that will endure all the punishment that these motors can dish out. They start by manufacturing a steel billet clutch cover that will not distort behind 600 to 1200 pound feet of engine torque output.
The original lockup disc is replaced by their triple-disc setup that will also withstand all the increases of horsepower and torque and allow you trouble free driving, even under loaded conditions.
