Why TRE / The Engineering Difference

METALLURGY & TREATMENT

SHOT PEENED & GEAR DETAIL

Shot peening blasts the gear surface with small, round media, toughening the metal to resist cracks and fatigue under high power.

Gear detailing removes sharp edges, burrs, and rough spots so teeth mesh smoother with less heat and wear.

Together, they help your transmission handle more power and last longer.

TOLERANCE BLUEPRINTING

Hand-Shimmed & Blueprint Synchronizers

Every engagement tooth, sleeve taper, and thrust clearance is dialed in individually on the shop bench to eliminate transmission lockouts.

No Unverified Marketing

We test on dynos, drag strips, and road courses. Only genuine parts and verified gear geometries make it into our final builds.

The TRE Commitment to Hard Data & Honest Work

DATA INTEGRITY VERIFIED

At Team Rip Engineering, specs and results are never estimated or rounded for sales talk. Turnaround times, core charges, and horsepower capabilities are built on real shop data and racing verification. If you have custom power goals or specialized gear ratio requirements, consult our technicians directly.
