Proline 2500 Glide

I don't know if you know this or not but that company "transmission-specialties" they make all the parts for the glides. Any Big Time powerglide builder gets his parts from them!! I've been researching these guys for about a year and a half now. Now it's time to buy one of those bad boys!!

And coug I did take your advice, i bought a book and I bought a used glide and started practicing. I worked on my practice glide for about a week. That pile of parts is still sitting in a 5 gallon bucket like a god damn jig saw puzzle! transmission-specialties here I come!!

No way in hell would I put the torque of a 4 digit hp BB to a stock case, regardless of what anyone says they can take...

l know it has and can be done... But if it lets go there went triple what a Reid case would of cost..at the least. And dont tell me you aint thought about the upgrade.

the only problem i've saw with the stock case came when a big hp turbo olds powered yard dart started burning clutches in a couple passes.they jacked the line psi up and the case cracked somewhere close to where the lines go into the case,BUT i think the lines be'n too tight can cause it too.

138 it's not the case that usually breaks, if it does it is caused by something in a bind which put undue stress on the case, in that fact the Reid will break also if in a bind. like having the engine and trans mounted solid something is going to break and being the trans case is Aluminum it will break first.......

I am, all of my dailey drivers have ford trans in them!!!

Have not been here for a while, but there's some information worth sharing I feel. Keep in mind this isn't bashing a company as I do sell TS product. But... I will NOT sell their gearsets or complete trannies. Why you ask? Take a peek:

I prefer to sell and use gearsets made in the USA. I've had superb results with the BTE sets; made in-house. If anyone wants to tear into a Glide and needs any tech support feel free to contact me as I'm always more than willing to walk a racer through their own rebuld.

As to case breakage it can and does happen with no "lockup" of parts as the cause. Flexing is a huge issue and the weak spot is at the bell area. The other weak areas are at the back of the case where the reverse piston sits, and also at the band adjuster bolt and servo areas. Aftermarket cases all but eliminate these flex areas and contribute to more consistent passes and longer trans life.
