POWERGLIDE PLANETARY 1.76:1 FORGED OUT SHAFT STD GEARSETS

Description

Hughes Performance is
proud to present its all
billet planetary gear set for
aluminium Powerglides — with
a 1.76:1 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 1.76’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 now have 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.
