FTI Powerglide Transmission - Level 5 - 1500HP - Aftermarket Case - Long - Pro Transbrake - GM Bell

What you get with this FTI Performance Level 5 Powerglide transmission is a complete, well-built unit ready to handle serious power. It includes the transmission itself, featuring an aftermarket case for added strength, a Pro Transbrake for precise launch control, and a GM bellhousing designed to bolt up to your GM engine. This transmission is specifically built to handle up to 1500 horsepower, making it a solid choice for drag racing or high-performance street applications where durability and consistent performance are key.

FTI Performance has put together a robust package here. The Level 5 build signifies a significant upgrade over stock components, with internal parts selected and assembled to withstand the rigors of high-horsepower launches and shifts. The aftermarket case is a notable feature, offering more strength than a factory case, which is crucial when you're pushing the limits. The Pro Transbrake system is a standout feature for anyone serious about drag racing; it allows you to hold the vehicle stationary against the throttle before launch, providing a more consistent and powerful start. This unit is designed for long-tail Powerglide applications, ensuring proper driveshaft engagement.

When installing a transmission like this, it's important to ensure you have the correct supporting components. This includes the appropriate transmission fluid, a compatible torque converter (often sold separately and matched to your engine and power goals), and proper cooling. Given the high-horsepower rating and the transbrake feature, you'll want to make sure your cooling system is up to the task to maintain optimal operating temperatures. Always refer to FTI Performance's installation guidelines for specific fluid types and any other recommendations to get the most out of this powerful transmission.
