3 Speed Transmission Question

[AveryMcLawhorn]

Asking an age old question but looking for some real experience and or data to back up the questions.

In terms of three speed transmissions out there for SS with trans brake what is the actual ET differences between say the following:

Protrans
Rossler TH350 Lighted
Coan XLT-350
Metric 200 (McClay or Equivalent Builder)
A-1 TH350 Lighted
ATI Transmissions
etc.

Before anyone says, I know there are a lot of variables, gear ratio, convertor, etc. but looking for some actual experience out there. I have heard pro-trans is one of if not the fastest, but by how much or was cause the gear ratio was changed to be more ideal for the combination?

Avery it depends on what you are changing from,a 200 turbo from a glide in a h stocker was .o12, from a 2.18 glide to a rossler was .002 slower.so your results will very. My 2 cents.

In super stock.pro trans was always the fastest
Rumor has it the Coan is just as fast or better now
The metric 200 stuff you don?t see a lot on the east coast

What can Joel on Joy do to enhance a transmission. Many of the FSS cars at Charlotte had his sticker on the rear bumper.

I believe Joel built the C4's for the original FS mustangs years ago.

Cars with transmissions from Joel can have either a C-4 or a TH-400.
Joel limits the use of the Ford C-4 based on the amount of torque the engine puts out.

We have run multiple transmissions over the past
well over 30+ years in our Mopar Stock/SS cars.

Protrans is always the fastest and most reliable for us
over the years.
