Transgo

THE YEAR THE SHIFT KIT WAS BORN

By 1969, TransGo had already established a solid reputation engineering and producing different valve body repair kits. Builders knew for certain units, buying a TransGo valve body repair kit was as essential as an overhaul kit.

It was only after many years of friends and customers affectionately referring to these kits as “shift kits”, after his industry nickname, Mr. Shift, that the company decided to trademark the name SHIFT KIT® .

STILL INDUSTRY-LEADING, STILL MADE IN THE USA

TransGo’s R&D team, led by longtime engineering director, David Hardin, focuses on engineering solutions with the builder in mind by eliminating labor- intensive and expensive processes on the bench while maintaining a price point to keep shops profitable and competitive.

Some of the company’s most recent patented R&D innovations include:

  • New 2-piece pressure regulator valve system
  • Tuneless Technology, where all programming is done in the valve body and pump instead of the TCM/ECM
  • Universal reaming tools, like the one made for all GEN2 FWD Ford and General Motors six speeds, so builders don’t have to constantly shell out big bucks on specific tooling and equipment
