Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods and systems for improving the operation of a transmission for an automotive vehicle, and in particular the transmission as installed by the original automobile manufacturer. The methods and systems of the present invention modify the original hydraulic fluid circuits of the automotive transmission provided by the automobile manufacturer to enable the transmission to manually select any available ratio at any time, to select first gear at any time, and to enable the transmission to produce quick applies during upshifts and fast releases during downshifts for improved performance and heavy duty use with only minimum ratio sharing or overlap during gear changes. The modification of the original automotive transmission to achieve these goals includes adjustment of the hydraulic fluid circuits by providing a new 1-2 shift valve, by providing a new manual valve, by providing a new 3-4 shift valve, by providing new hydraulic flow circuits, by discontinuing use of existing hydraulic circuits, by enlarging the size of pre-existing orifices and by plugging other orifices, and by adjusting pre-existing spring and pressure values; all of which adjust the fluid flow and operation of the original factory installed automotive transmission in accordance with the basic objectives of the present invention.

Abstract: An improved automatic transmission has a reverse gear piston which can be engaged as a transmission brake. The piston is movable in a first direction and has a surface. A hydraulic system supplies transmission fluid to a space between the surface and the housing to engage the piston and removes the hydraulic fluid from the space to disengage the piston thereby releasing the transmission brake. In one embodiment, the hydraulic means has a passageway with the first cross-sectional area through the housing and a second cross-sectional area larger than the first cross-sectional area in the housing that is exposed to the space thereby reducing friction between the fluid and the second cross-section which reduces the release time of the fluid from the space. In another embodiment, the transmission has an apparatus for adjusting the cross-sectional area of the passageway through the housing. In another embodiment, an apparatus for bleeding air from the fluid in either the space or the passageway is added to reduce air compression/decompression problems. In yet another embodiment, an explosion proof bellhousing around the flexplate area protects the engine, transmission, passenger compartment, and roadway from flying debris in case of a failing flexplate.

Abstract: An easily adjustable pressure relief valve for adjusting maximum fluid pressure levels in automatic transmissions at events. Engines used in racing and exhibitions require automatic transmissions with increased fluid pressure to prevent slipping during shifts. The pressure relief valve replaces a main mod line solenoid accumulator and includes an easily replaceable spring allowing adjustment of maximum fluid pressure at each event. The relief valve spring is selectable to adjust maximum fluid pressure for each event.

Abstract: A manual automobile transmission includes a non-rotating reverse gear having an internal spline in the front portion of the reverse gear and a needle roller bearing mounted at the rear portion. The bearing supports the gear and allows the main shaft to rotate without the gear turning when the transmission is not in the reverse mode. A separate splined collar is mounted on the shaft. Internal splines on the collar readily engage the splines on the main shaft and extended splines match the reverse gear splines. A small spring ball is inserted in the gear just forward of the splines to facilitate alignment of the gear and splined collar.

Abstract: A rear end gear pump for providing lubricant/coolant to a rear axle assembly of a racing vehicle that is removably securable to the interior of a rear axle housing. The rear end gear pump is preferably coupled to a pinion shaft of the rear axle assembly and provides lubricants/coolants to the entire rear axle assembly. The pump includes a substantially hollow pump casing for removable attachment to the interior of the rear axle housing, a pair of pump gears housed within the interior of the pump casing, an input port formed through the hollow casing for receiving lubricant/coolant into the pump, means for conducting lubricant/coolant into the pump connected to the input port, a bearing lubrication port formed through the pump casing to provide lubrication to the pinion bearing and an output port formed through the hollow casing for conducting lubricant/coolant away from the pump. One of the pair of pump gears is attachable to the pinion shaft of the rear axle assembly. The pump gears are coupled together to circulate lubricant/coolant within the interior of the pump casing and create a vacuum force to draw lubricant/coolant into the pump and out of the reservoir to an external cooler.
