Specialists in modern automatic transmissions

Pure Drivetrain Solutions is an American company specialising in automatic transmissions for performance vehicles. Modern automatics such as the ZF 8-speed and the 10-speed units from Ford and GM are found in many of today’s popular performance cars and pickups, but when the engine is heavily tuned, the transmission often becomes the weak link. PDS develops parts that give the transmission more strength and capacity, so it can keep up with a turbocharged, supercharged or otherwise modified engine.

Pure Drivetrain Solutions’ key products

Torque converters are a large part of the range and come in different versions depending on engine and power level, for example for naturally aspirated, turbo or supercharged setups. For rebuilds and upgrades there are seal kits and kits with reinforced internal parts, so the transmission can be built for more torque. The range also includes transmission pans and flexplates for BMW’s B48, B58 and S58 engines and the Gen 3 Hemi V8, among others. See each product for transmission and vehicle fitment.

Frequently asked questions

When does it make sense to upgrade the torque converter?

When the engine makes significantly more power than stock, or if you want a different character, such as quicker response off the line. A torque converter matched to the power level can give better acceleration and less slip.

Can I rebuild my automatic transmission myself?

It takes experience and special tools. Many choose to have the transmission built by a workshop experienced with automatics, while they pick the right PDS parts for the project themselves.
