The Road Ripper

Behold the Road Ripper™ 1000 transmission remanufactured by Certified Transmission and expertly installed by the team at AR Transmission. This truck transmission packs more muscle than factory-stock and knows how to flex it. But be warned: it does not tread lightly. On the open road, it hauls @$$. On power jobs, it kicks @$$. This is big-boy territory now. The line has been drawn. The very durable Road Ripper™ 1000.

The Road Ripper™ 1000 is the first step to improving your truck's factory-stock transmission. Certified Transmission begins by increasing pressure in the transmission for firmer applications of clutches and bands, providing a more positive shift when driving the demanding roads of the greater Fresno CA region. Then Certified Transmission addresses the pressure after the application of clutches and bands so there is less chance of slipping the clutches.

Vehicle Applications:

• Snowplow Vehicles
• Towing up to an extra 4,000 pounds (two tons)
• Engines with added horsepower of up to 100
• Hot rods & muscle cars with street tires
• Drivers wanting more than shift kits
• Drivers wanting better transmissions

Design Considerations:

• New transmission parts for super durability
• High pressure for tight-grip, no-slug performance shifting
• High-flow transmission fluid lube circuit that beats heavy-duty heat
• Density increase in clutch pack for no slippage
• Ability to boost the charge circuit to handle higher torque towing loads
• High-throttle power retainment

After improving the pressure, Certified Transmission adds more clutch plates to the clutch packs. When you are looking for more than what the Ford, Dodge, or Chevrolet factories offer, this is the upgrade your truck deserves—available right here at AR Transmission.

Road Ripper 1000 Specifics:

• Valve body modifications improve the shifts of the transmission and the “apply & release” of the torque converter clutch.
• Pressure adjustments improve the lube circuit feeding all bushings, washers and geartrain in the transmission to keep them lubricated.
• Increased pressure improves the torque converter charge circuit which ensures that the torque converter stays fully charged with fluid. Vehicles will not lose power during heavy demands or from a wide-open throttle.
• Sprags and rollers are replaced for better holding capacity.
• The pump and pressure regulator are addressed for high flow and good control to ensure that the right amount of transmission fluid gets to everything.
• All transmission bands and clutches are new. Depending on the applications, Certified Transmission uses quality Raybestos® or BorgWarner® brands.
• Increased clutch packs by as much as 20 percent for more holding power.

Bring your truck to AR Transmission to experience how the Road Ripper™ 2000 transmission definitely ups the ante. This durable performance truck transmission is remanufactured to tear up the streets. And with way more power than factory models, hauling @$$ is easy. Unleash the power of Road Ripper™ 2000. It kicks @$$ from the inside out.

Vehicle Applications:

• Towing 4,000–10,000 pounds on a fifth-wheel trailer
• Engines with added horsepower of 100 to 225
• Diesel engines that have been chipped for more power
• Street racers

Design Considerations:

• Heavy-duty transmission parts for super durability
• Resized servo and levers for seamless grab
• Higher pressure for tight-grip, no-slug shifts
• High-flow lube circuit that beats heavy-duty heat
• Bands and clutches that handle high energy
• Super density in clutch pack for no slippage
• Ability to boost the charge circuit to handle higher torque loads

The Road Ripper 2000 is a beefed-up performance transmission that really meets the mark of hard-working Ford, Dodge, and Chevrolet trucks needing way more than what factory transmissions offer. Certified Transmission begins by really increasing the pressure in the transmission. This gives firmer application for all the high-energy installed clutches and bands, like red, blue or even Raybestos® Z-Pak™ clutches and Pro Series™ bands (depending on what the vehicle will be used for). Then Certified Transmission addresses the servos and accumulators to match up with desired shifting preferences. Adding to durability, the technicians replace all rollers and sprags with the maximum-level available element. Then Certified Transmission addresses the converter to handle the higher load and improve its durability and efficiency. The Road Ripper 2000 is a very tough, hard-working diesel truck transmission.

Road Ripper 2000 Specifics

• Complete valve body and separator plate modifications for durability and shifting improvement.
• Increase base-line pressure which gives you better linear line pressure during shifts.
• Improve throttle pressure circuit for a faster and more responsive line pressure boost.
• Resized servo and levers for maximum holding of any bands.
• Use of high-energy clutches and Pro Series™ bands.
• Increase of clutch packs by as much as 30 percent for greater holding power.
• Improves the lube circuit which feeds all the bushings, washers and geartrain in the transmission to keep them lubricated.
• All sprags and rollers are replaced with the best available for increased capacity.
• Only the highest-flow pumps available are used.
• Certified Transmission uses furnace-braze converters and adds new bearings throughout remanufacturing for optimal durability.

The Road Ripper 3000 is the mother load of transmissions, proudly supplied and fitted by AR Transmission. Once The Road Ripper 3000 transmission opens a can of whup@$$, all hell breaks loose. It handles monster loads and leaves roads begging for mercy. Only the hardcore, serious drivers need to apply. Racers can kick its @$$ 24/7. The Road Ripper 3000 will only ask for more. Road Ripper 3000 — very durable, very hard-working and very kick @$$.

Vehicle Applications:

• Frequent towing of 10,000 pounds or more on a fifth-wheel trailer
• Engines with added horsepower of 250 or more
• Drag cars running a quarter mile in 10-12 seconds

Design Considerations:

• Hardcore, heavy-duty tempered transmission parts
• Fortified case rigidity for strength
• Larger servos and levers for maximum seamless grab
• The Highest possible pressure for tight-grip, no-slug shifts
• High-flow lube circuit, sump and pump beats heavy-duty heat
• Ability to boost the charge circuit to handle higher torque loads
• Peak density in clutch pack for no slippage
• Heavy-duty bands and clutches that handle high energy
• *Road Ripper 3000 transmissions require an external cooler which AR Transmission can supply for an additional cost.

Road Ripper 3000™ is for the serious full-time racer and for the reprogrammed, stump-pulling, overloaded vehicle. This is a beefed-up performance truck transmission that can handle the extra horsepower and torque with a geartrain built to the highest capacity available. Hardened shafts, where available, are used to take on those extreme-working vehicles that like to break things. In this unit, we increase the pressures more in the transmission. We use high-energy clutches and bands like red, blue or even Raybestos® Z-Pak™ clutches and Pro Series™ bands. Certified Transmission addresses servos and accumulators in this transmission to match up with desired shift preferences. Technicians replace all rollers and sprags with the maximum element available and increase the sump capacity for additional cooling. Converters are custom-built to handle all of a vehicle's applications. (Converters with a higher stall rate are available at an additional cost.) This is a very tough, very hard-working truck transmission.
