Gear Vendor Under/Overdrive |
Gear Vendor Under/Overdrive installed on transmission |
You want more power to climb hills or tow with heavy loads, plus at the touch of
a button taller gearing for cruising down the highway with the lower engine RPMs
and improved fuel mileage. You'll need an auxiliary overdrive transmission capable
of gear splitting. The toughest built best performing auxiliary transmission you
can buy is the overdrive from Drivetrain Specialist. Our overdrive kits are very
complete and are designed for your specific vehicle, detailed installation instructions
are included in kit, installation is also availble.
YOU'LL NEED QUALITY
Each Overdrive auxiliary transmission represents the combined effort and technology
of Gear Vendors, Inc. (the largest producer of overdrives in the world). The very
finest in manufacturing, assembly, and R&D facilities are available. Our customers
ride with confidence knowing that we offer the only auxiliary transmission available
that is approved and used by new car and motorhome manufacturers. Component quality
is unsurpassed, Sheffield steel planetary gear set, 4500 ft. lb. roller clutch, forged
ring gear assembly, common vertex (cone) full throttle shift clutch.
YOU'LL WANT RELIABILITY.
No matter how much enjoyment you derive from the improved performance of gear splitting
on hills and overdrive when cruising, if your auxiliary transmission leaves you stranded
in the middle of the highway, you'll wish you never made the purchase. Gear Vendors
current "P"-Type UNDER/OVERDRIVE™ is the toughest rated product
in the industry. Guaranteed to 30,000 lbs. GCVW, the unit relies on a mechanical
lockup roller clutch (Sprague) just like automatic transmissions do to handle the
extreme torque peaks of initial take off and change of direction from reverse to
drive. It is a completly self contained system with its own integral pump and pressurized
lubrication, (features not found in any other auxiliary transmissions). Ask these
questions of any other auxiliary transmission manufacturer:
1. Can the unit get stuck in neutral?
2. What if the unit loses all its fluid (leak)?
3. Can I shift the unit under any throttle condition (including full throttle)?
4. If a major problem occurs, can I simply shut it off and continue driving?
We know the RVer wants a gear splitting/overdrive product that works as well as the
rest of his vehicle and can never leave him stranded, period! Price is secondary,
Reliability First.
YOU WANT PERFORMANCE.
Power is certainly the No. 1 reason more people choose the Gear Vendors overdrive.
There is no other auxiliary transmission available which can split gears as effectively.
In vehicles with automatic transmissions the unit is intended to shift at any throttle
position including full throttle and delivers a crisp responsive shift. Shift it
as much as you like . . . the internally activated common vertex clutch is designed
to last 250,000 miles. Vehicles with manual transmissions also benefit from the constant
mesh planetary gear design as both in-shifts and out-shifts are as simple as depressing
the vehicles clutch pedal and pushing a button. No syncros to wear out, no grinding
gears or misshifts possible. The systems sophisticated planetary design has very
low friction which means not only will a Gear Vendors last longer, but it's quieter
and has less power loss (less than 1hp per 400hp) than any other auxiliary transmission.
All Gear Vendors overdrive offer a .78 to 1 (22%) overdrive ratio,
designed to be the ultimate gear splitting and overdrive ratio for today's RV's.
Anything less than 22% would be less effective at slowing RPMs while cruising in
overdrive . . . anything more than 22% wouldn't be effective as a gear splitter when
you need power to climb hills or to pass slower traffic. Performance through proper
gearing is the cornerstone of Gear Vendors overdrive.
AND BETTER MILEAGE.
There are many devices advertised as remedies for poor gas mileage. Fact is, anyone
who tells you how much you are going to gain is just trying to sell you something.
Every vehicle represents many different situations, different drivers, different
conditions of tuning, different climates and altitudes. The Gear Vendors overdrive
is not some magic pill, but twice the number of forward gears for combating all these
different conditions.
Every time you shift there are such big changes in transmission ratios that your
engine RPMs fall completely out of the power range. You need that half gear between
each of your current gears which will not only keep the engine making power but improve
its useful life and reliability. You'll no longer be overreving the engine in too
low a gear or lugging it in too tall a gear. Plus out of the same device get a gear
that lets the engine slow down without slowing down the vehicle which not only can
save you a lot of fuel, but greatly reduce engine wear. Imagine the same engine work
(RPMs) that currently take you 15.56 miles - can take you 20 miles in overdrive (that's
a lot less wear) not to mention the fuel savings and longer range. There is a lot
less engine noise in overdrive also. These are some of the reasons Volvo, whose cars
have the longest average life expectancy of any automobile company in the world (21
years) bought more than 1 million of these units over the years.
In addition to the overdrive units, we also provide an impressive list of automotive after market products for car, pickup truck, SUV and 4wd repair parts and accessories that includes rear end covers, ring and pinion gears, OE clutches and heavy duty performance clutches, diesel gauge kits, exhaust brakes, re manufactured manual and automatic transmissions and both manual and automatic overhaul kits.
