The ideal upgrade for performance vehicles with the GM 6L80 or 6L90 transmission, Sonnax extreme-duty 4-5-6 clutch hub and intermediate shaft guarantees maximum protection against shaft breakage. The unique hub design improves oil flow and accepts Powerglide-style frictions to optimize clutch durability. In place of the 2-piece shaft/hub, Sonnax uses a much stronger, one-piece design that eliminates the OE assembly's weak, welded connection. It is custom forged from ultra-high-strength 300M billet steel, and then heat-treated and shot-peened for added durability. This combination of features guards against broken 4-5-6 hubs and the risk of rear splines shearing off.

Sonnax Smart-Tech drum modules for racing GM TH400 transmissions improve on-track performance and consistency, leading to quicker ETs, more wins, and greater reliability. The TH400 is preferred for its overall durability and multitude of available ratios, but is known to be heavier and less efficient than the popular two-speed Powerglide. Part of the TH400 inefficiency results from the fact that the direct drum counter-rotates, spinning backwards in 1st gear, brakes to a complete stop on the 1-2 shift, then goes from 0 RPM to input RPM on the 2-3 shift. Significant energy is wasted through this cycle that robs power, upsets traction on the shifts, and contributes to broken internal parts. Compared to aluminum direct drums, the Smart-Tech drum module reduces the weight of the counter-rotating components by over 3.3 lbs.! And more significantly, because the weight of the Sonnax counter-rotating parts is closer to the centerline, there's a 68 percent reduction in energy required to stop and restart during the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. The benefits are increased wheel horsepower, better acceleration, less shock on the shifts, and improved durability. * Complete kit (34555-01K) replaces both forward and direct drums and includes everything from intermediate sprag to the pump; a selection of Sonnax input shafts is available separately. * 100 percent new content, no used core pieces * Includes larger-diameter, 36-element sprag and sprag race that works with OE intermediate clutches * Includes six-friction forward clutch pack and seven-friction direct clutch pack Contents: * Forward Piston Housing * Forward Piston * Forward Piston Return Springs (16) * Forward Spring Retainer * Forward Snap Ring * O-Ring 1.674 in. * Lip Seals (2) * Direct Housing Assembly * Direct Piston * Direct Piston Return Springs (26) * Direct Spring Retainer * Direct Snap Ring * O-Ring 2.737 in. * Sprag Shaft * Front Sprag Retainer Plate * Heavy-Duty Sprag 36 Element * Outer Sprag Race * Rear Sprag Retainer Plate * Sprag Retainer Screws (4) 6-32 x 5/16 in. * Quad Ring Seals (2) * Anti-rotation Seal Rings (2) * Drum * Pressure Plate * Outer Snap Rings (4) * Bearing Small * Forward Clutch Hub * Bearing Large * Direct Clutch Hub * Steel Clutch Plates (4) .060 in. * Steel Clutch Plates (11) .077 in. * Friction Clutch Plates (13) .080 in. * Clutch Separators (60) .103 in.

The detent ball in the valve body in listed Chrysler automatic transmissions (see Applications tab) wears into the aluminum bore due to continuous movement and vibration of the linkage. This creates excessive looseness in the manual valve lever and allows the manual valve to move out of alignment. No start or being stuck in Park can occur from the manual valve being out of position due to extra clearance. This condition often requires that the valve body be replaced. Sonnax valve body detent ball and sleeve kits allow the valve body to be salvaged. The bore must be oversized using the self-guiding bench reamer included in Sonnax tool kit 22771-TL12. A .096 in. diameter drill bit is also included to allow the retaining pin hole to be redrilled for use with the OE pin. Sonnax detent spring 22771-36 is also available. Additional notes: * Precision steel sleeve restores worn valve body and properly supports the detent ball * Precision-ground steel ball included for optimal fit with the replacement sleeve * Self-guiding bench-style reamer allows casting to be oversized quickly and accurately without specialized equipment * Kit is designed to fit both the short and long OE detent bore designs

Sonnax clutch apply piston kits drastically reduce the likelihood of clutch plate distortion. Due to OE design shortcomings, flexing and bowing of the backing plate is common in some GM transmissions, often causing them to suffer failure of the 4-5-6 clutch assembly. These kits increase the piston-to-plate apply ring surface area to strengthen and reinforce the assembly, along with a more rigid backing plate design that outperforms OE and aftermarket components. Sonnax clutch apply piston kits easily tackle these common weaknesses. Kits include: * Apply piston * Apply ring * Piston dam * Backing plate
