Dan's Diesel Performance - Automatic Transmission Parts

This product fits the following vehicle configurations:

1.5 times thicker than stock

BD's FleX-Plate is CNC machined 1.5x thicker out of quench and tempered 100ksi steel. In-house machining incorporates intergrated counterweights which is then balanced to better than OE specifications. Black Oxide coated to resist corrosion and prevents hydrogen embrittlement that can cause cracking, these units will fit any OEM or aftermarket torque converter and affordable enough to replace with converter or transmission swap. The BD FleX-Plate is a direct, bolt-in replacement for the stock unit. Great for racing, towing or stock!

High volumes of cool oil equate to long transmission life

High volumes of cool oil equate to long transmission life. BD's transmission pans increase oil capacity, while their aluminum construction and heat-dissipating fins keep temperature down. As an added bonus, the pan's increased rigidity prevents case twisting. Kit includes a magnetic drain plug and temperature sending unit port.

Enhanced Stall - Street/Towing applications

BD torque converters feature exclusive performance cast aluminum stators that improve efficiency and durability for better response in stock to higher horsepower applications. Each BD-engineered torque converter features a stamp-forged steel front cover, furnace-brazed fins, and up to triple the amount of lock-up clutch material.

22% more cooling over other designs

Coolers, providing 22% more cooling over other designs. The 200 Micro Extruded passages provide a large surface area to transfer heat for external air flow cooling while turbulent oil flow design promotes a more complete cooling. Large 5/8-inch ports prevents inlet/outlet restriction and furnace brazed rails have been tested to 300psi of pressure. The thermostatically controlled 80-watt, 10-inch, 800 CFM electric fan offers ultimate automatic oil temperature control. This combination gives BD's Xtruded Transmission Oil Cooler a rating of 33,930 BTU/HR and in excess of 30,000 GVW! Xtruded Transmission Oil Cooler packages come complete with all fittings, clamps, hoses, hardware and a Build-It-Yourself galvanized bracket kit for quicker and cleaner installation - no wasting time fabricating brackets out of scrap metal. The pre-wired loomed harness with fuse and relay comes with OEM style sealed connectors to resist elements and give factory-like install look.

Removes clutch material and metal particles from the transmission oil

BD's transmission filter removes clutch material and metal particles from the transmission oil and adds oil capacity, which reduces transmission oil temperature. Heavy duty hoses, fittings and brackets designed for your application are included.
