Description
Product Overview
The Performance Automatic Super Comp Transmissions PA45102M-46 is a competition-focused automatic transmission built for compatible Ford performance applications where strength, consistency, manual control, and race-focused drivetrain setup are important. As part of the Performance Automatic Super Comp Transmissions line, this unit is designed for buyers who need more than a basic replacement transmission.
This transmission is identified by Manufacturer’s Part Number PA45102M-46, Summit Racing Part Number PMA-PA45102M-46, and UPC 887753175489. These identifiers help Ford performance builders, drag racers, race teams, chassis shops, mechanics, transmission installers, service departments, and drivetrain specialists confirm the correct Performance Automatic transmission before ordering.
The transmission features a 4-speed configuration, Ford bellhousing bolt pattern, forward shift pattern, and full manual valve body. This makes it especially relevant for racing applications where the driver wants direct control over gear changes instead of a standard automatic shift strategy.
The listed 950 horsepower rating makes this transmission a strong option for high-output performance vehicles when properly matched to the engine, converter, chassis, cooling system, tire size, rear gear, and intended use.
This transmission includes a trans-brake, which supports controlled launch operation in properly wired and configured drag-racing applications. It is also listed as lockup compatible, so buyers should confirm converter and lockup-control requirements before installation.
The transmission uses a deep aluminum pan, 10.000-inch tailshaft, slip-on yoke style, 35 input splines, 2.46 first gear ratio, aluminum clutch hub, and OEM-style natural aluminum case.
The torque converter is not included, the flexplate is not included, the transmission controller is not included, the wiring harness is not included, the transmission cooler is not included, transmission fluid is not included, and the dipstick is not included, so buyers should confirm all supporting components before installation.
Fitment and Application Details
The Performance Automatic PA45102M-46 Super Comp transmission should be matched carefully to the intended Ford application before ordering. Performance automatic transmission fitment can vary by vehicle year, engine platform, bellhousing configuration, converter setup, flexplate requirements, starter compatibility, electronic-control needs, lockup-control requirements, mount location, crossmember position, driveshaft length, yoke style, cooler routing, shifter type, and racing use.
Important fitment details to verify include vehicle year, make, model, engine platform, Ford bellhousing bolt pattern, original transmission family, drivetrain layout, torque converter requirements, flexplate compatibility, converter bolt pattern, crankshaft pilot fitment, 35-spline input compatibility, 10.000-inch tailshaft fitment, slip-on yoke compatibility, transmission mount location, crossmember position, driveshaft length, shifter compatibility, full manual valve body operation, trans-brake wiring, lockup-control setup, cooler line routing, transmission cooler requirements, fluid specifications, dipstick setup, and installation hardware.
Because this transmission uses a full manual valve body, buyers should confirm shifter compatibility, shift pattern, driver control requirements, and intended race setup before installation.
Because the trans-brake is included, buyers should confirm activation method, wiring, launch-control setup, converter compatibility, and race-class requirements before ordering.
Because the transmission is lockup compatible, buyers should verify the correct lockup converter and control strategy for the exact build.
The exact included components should be confirmed before purchase. This transmission does not include the torque converter, does not include the flexplate, does not include the controller, does not include the wiring harness, does not include the cooler, does not include transmission fluid, and does not include the dipstick.
For a complete installation, additional components may be required, including a torque converter, flexplate, transmission cooler, cooler lines, transmission fluid, dipstick, lockup-control components, shifter, shifter cable, trans-brake wiring, transmission mount, crossmember hardware, driveshaft/yoke components, seals, and vehicle-specific installation hardware.
Build Quality and Reliability
The Performance Automatic Super Comp Transmissions PA45102M-46 is built for racing and high-performance applications where durability and repeatable operation matter. Performance Automatic’s Super Comp transmissions were developed and tested for many rounds of competition, making this product line especially relevant for drag racing, street/strip use, and serious Ford performance builds.
Performance Automatic starts with prime cores and builds these transmissions with race-focused components. Confirmed Super Comp features include racing clutches, premium bands, hardened input shafts, Performance Automatic’s own trans-brake valve body, and deep aluminum pans.
The listed 35-spline input is an important strength-related specification for buyers planning a high-output drivetrain.
The included trans-brake supports controlled launches in properly configured racing applications, while the full manual valve body gives the driver direct control over shifting.
The deep aluminum pan supports performance transmission operation by adding capacity and durability compared with a basic shallow pan setup.
The 950 horsepower rating gives buyers a clear performance benchmark, but the transmission should still be matched carefully to converter selection, cooling capacity, engine output, vehicle weight, tire size, rear gear, and intended use.
