Racing Transmission Bearings

Your racing car, pickup truck, or SUV is equipped with a powerful motor mated to a high-performance transmission. The gearbox of your vehicle plays a crucial role in delivering engine power to the rest of the drivetrain in the most efficient way. Both manual and automatic transmissions have a number of rotating shafts with numerous rotating parts attached to them. To prevent power losses along with heating and accelerated wear caused by friction between rotating and stationary metal parts, bearings are used. Typical bearings consist of inner and outer rings called races with steel balls or rollers running in special grooves between them.

For high-performance applications, high-quality racing transmission bearings are needed, and our online store has you covered. We carry a huge assortment of main shaft bearings, rear bearing kits, input and output shaft bearings, washers, snap rings, and races for countershafts, drive gears for manual gearboxes, and much more. Here you can find everything that you need to restore your automatic transmission, including complete bearing kits, low roller clutches, bearings for transfer shafts, oil pumps, reaction and output carriers, gear supports, governors, clutch housings, turbine shafts, and so on. If something rotates in your racing transmission, we have a suitable bearing for it.

The service life of a bearing can be greatly extended thanks to the use of specialized lubricants and greases. To prevent dust, water, and other contaminants from entering the bearing from the exposed ends of the transmission, rubber seals are used. In racing gearboxes, bearings are subject to heavy loads due to fast acceleration and aggressive driving, which means they need to be strong enough to work reliably for thousands of miles to come. The biggest problem of any bearing is the lack of lubrication. It leads to the metal on metal sliding instead of rolling. Bad bearings produce noise and vibration signaling that they need to be replaced.
