American Powertrain adds GearStar automatic transmissions for Ford, Chevy, Mopar

American Powertrain announced that it has added GearStar automatic transmissions for Ford, Chevy, and Mopar. Transmissions include the 4L60E for SBC, BBC and early LT engines; the 4L65E for LS and late LT engines; SB and BB Mopar and Gen III engines; the 4L80E for LS engines; and late model LTs and the 4R70W for Ford small block engines. 

Each GearStar transmission is shipped in a protective crate with a Yank billet torque converter, transmission fluid, transmission cooler and a factory-style dipstick. Each transmission option is available in various power ranges with 400 to 1000 ft.-lbs. of torque capacity depending on the model.

“We’ve had a lot of calls for automatic transmissions with overdrive and GearStar builds the best automatics in the industry,” said Matt Graves, American Powertrain marketing and product manager. “Soon, we will be able to announce specific Pro-Fit install kits, but for now if you are looking to add a high-performance automatic, our experienced team will ask all the right questions to ensure the power level you want and recommend a transmission that makes the most sense for your vehicle.”
