Inside this 48re transmission gear train ๐
This video shows the difference between the stock thrust washer setup and our in-house rollerized modification using needle bearings.
The stock setup works โ but over time flat thrust washers wear, create more friction, more heat, and increased play in the gear train.
Our rollerized machining modification helps:
โ๏ธ Reduce friction
โ๏ธ Reduce heat buildup
โ๏ธ Maintain tighter thrust clearances
โ๏ธ Reduce wear in the gear train
โ๏ธ Improve durability and performance
You can actually SEE the difference in how freely the modified assembly spins compared to stock.
This isnโt just parts swapping โ this is precision transmission machining and custom setup work done in-house at Dierks Diesel & Auto Performance by Levi, our machinist.
We specialize in:
โข Transmission rebuilding
โข Performance transmission upgrades
โข In-house machining
โข Custom modifications
โข Diesel & gas vehicle repair
โข Heavy duty drivetrain work
Whether you need diagnostics, machining, repairs, or a complete performance build, our team takes the time to do the deeper inspection and precision work that many shops skip.
