Powerglide (PG)
2-speed
Lightweight, simple, and durable—favored in drag racing and vintage GM applications. Verify case length and tailhousing for swaps.
Quickly identify your transmission by family, years, and gear count. Compare bolt patterns, see common applications, and jump straight to the right parts or complete remanufactured units. Built in the Monster style for speed, clarity, and conversions.
From classic Powerglide to late-model 4L-series, use gear count, years, and bellhousing bolts to ID your unit and shop compatible builds.
Lightweight, simple, and durable—favored in drag racing and vintage GM applications. Verify case length and tailhousing for swaps.
Compact 3-speed used in smaller GM cars. For upgrades or overdrive swaps, consider 200-4R or 700R4 families.
Popular overdrive swap with multi-pattern bellhousing. Great for G-body builds and highway drivability.
Classic 3-speed workhorse. Identify vs TH400 by pan shape and case size; 350C adds lockup converter.
High-torque 3-speed used in trucks and performance builds. Distinctive angled pan corner and larger case than TH350.
Mechanical (TV cable) early units vs electronically controlled 4L60E. Crossmember, wiring, and converter changes are required when mixing generations.
Big-power overdrive derived from TH400 architecture. Requires appropriate controller in carb swaps.
From classic C-series to AOD/4R70W and E4OD, here’s how to tell them apart and buy with confidence.
Early Ford 4-speed OD common to Rangers/Explorers. Consider later 4R families for heavier use.
Legendary strength for big-block and truck applications; pan is nearly rectangular with a notch.
AOD uses TV linkage; AODE/4R70W are electronically controlled with stronger internals and wider ratios (’96+).
Classic TorqueFlite strength through modern overdrives—identify yours below and shop compatible builds.
Overdrive evolution of 904 family; RH = hydraulic/lockup, RE = electronic control.
Big-torque OD units for trucks/SUVs (e.g., Ram). Verify RH/RE control type for swaps.
700R4/early 4L60 use a TV cable and no main case wiring connector; 4L60E has a large round/gray electrical plug on the passenger side and requires an ECU/controller. Crossmembers and converters differ.
Pan shape and case size: TH400 pan has a distinct angled corner and the case is larger/heavier. Output shaft and bolt patterns also differ.
Not directly. AOD uses TV linkage; AODE/4R70W are electronically controlled and require wiring, PCM/calibration, and often different converters/flexplates.
Most Monster complete units include an appropriate converter; specific package contents are shown on each product page. Add a matched converter when required for best results.
Follow the product page and your vehicle service manual. Many older GM units were Dexron III/Mercon era; later electronic units commonly specify Dexron VI or Mercon variants. Always confirm for your exact build.
Yes. Our standard warranty is included; you can optionally add MonsterCare Gold at checkout for enhanced labor/tow/rental coverage. See the Warranty page for terms.
