Reid Super 80® Transmission Case

Super 80® Transmission Case: Engineered for Unrivaled Performance and Durability

The Super 80® transmission case represents a significant advancement in 4L80e performance and reliability. Through meticulous engineering and a focus on addressing inherent weaknesses, we've developed a case that excels in high-horsepower applications, offering superior strength, reduced weight, and unparalleled versatility.

Engineering Excellence:

The Super 80® case leverages a full 360-degree internal lug design to provide exceptional center support and pressure plate retention. This innovative approach not only minimizes weight and drag but also dramatically increases abuse tolerance. The ductile material properties of the Super 80® case further enhance its ability to withstand extreme stresses, making it ideal for the rigors of turbocharged muscle cars, drag racing, rock crawling, and desert truck racing. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was employed during the design phase to optimize material distribution and ensure maximum strength-to-weight ratio.

Performance Advantages:

• Enhanced Strength and Durability: The robust design and material selection of the Super 80® case provide exceptional resistance to deformation and cracking, even under extreme loads. This translates to increased transmission longevity and reduced downtime.
• Optimized Fluid Dynamics: Internal lug design promotes efficient fluid flow, minimizing drag and maximizing performance.
• Modular Design for Versatility: The two-piece construction allows for seamless integration with a wide range of engines via interchangeable Superglide bellhousings. This modularity simplifies installation and reduces overall system cost.
• SFI 4.1 Certified: Meets stringent safety standards without requiring external shields, ensuring compliance and peace of mind in competitive environments.

Key Features and Technical Specifications:

• Billet Steel Pressure Plate: Precision machined from high-strength billet steel for enhanced durability and improved pressure control.
• Oversized Snap Ring: Increased cross-sectional area provides superior resistance to fatigue and deformation, ensuring secure component retention.
• Extended Band Anchor Pins with Oversized Bosses: Maximizes band engagement area and improves load distribution for enhanced band performance and longevity.
• Multiple External Pressure Taps: Strategically located pressure taps enable precise monitoring of critical circuit pressures, facilitating optimized tuning and diagnostics.
• Reinforced Threads (Heli-Coil): Bellhousing and oil pump threads are reinforced with Heli-Coil inserts to prevent stripping and ensure reliable connections.
• ARP Front Band Anchor Bolt (Included): High-strength ARP bolt provides a secure and reliable front band anchor point.
• Dual Machined Sensor Bosses: Versatile design accepts either freeze plugs or input/output speed sensors for comprehensive data acquisition.
• -AN Oil Line Ports: Machined for -AN fittings for simplified and reliable oil line connections.
• Pre-Machined for Advance Adapters Transfer Case Adapters: Streamlined integration with popular transfer case adapters.

Target Applications:

• High-Performance Street Cars
• Drag Racing
• Off-Road Racing (Rock Crawling, Desert Racing)
• Heavy-Duty Trucks and SUVs
