The automatic transmission in your classic ride must accomplish many tasks while it is performing. For starters, it ultimately has to make your car move. To accomplish that feat, it has to overcome heat, slippage, working fluid pressures, and more, while efficiently doing what you need it to do.
Performance Automatic takes pride in taking care of the needs of its customers. When the company decided to build a transmission that could quite possibly be the last transmission you’ll ever buy for your Ford or GM vehicle, the market took notice. The new Platinum-Series transmission program revolves around GM’s 4L60, 4L80, and the Ford 4R70W.
“We decided to use only the most durable, popular, and reliable electronic overdrive transmissions,” says Performance Automatic’s Harvey Baker. “We developed the Platinum-series transmission as a premium-line product that is tailored to each individual’s needs. When a customer calls and asks about a Platinum-series transmission, they are first assigned a service adviser who delivers concierge-type service.”
“If they are looking for a performance-oriented transmission, the service adviser will discuss and make recommendations to get the consumer the perfect transmission to do what they need,” Baker says. “If they are looking for a unit that will be installed a weekend cruiser, that transmission will require meeting a different set of build parameters.”
It is this level of service and knowledge of intended usage that allows Performance Automatic to build a transmission that will deliver a lifetime of service for the original purchaser.
If during that lifetime, you decide that you want to change some parameters of how your transmission works; shift points, shift firmness, etc., simply call Performance Automatic, and the team will walk you through the process of altering control parameters, all while the transmission remains in your car.
