Description
Performance Automatic PA45101-46E: Overview
The Performance Automatic Super Streeter Transmissions PA45101-46E belongs to Performance Automatic’s Super Streeter transmission line. These transmissions are designed to handle increased horsepower while maintaining characteristics suited to street performance applications.
The PA45101-46E is a four-speed automatic transmission with a Ford bellhousing bolt pattern and forward shift pattern. It uses an automatic/manual valve body, giving the transmission both automatic and manual shifting functionality.
The transmission carries an advertised 500-horsepower rating, providing an important reference for buyers selecting a transmission for a higher-output street performance vehicle.
Performance Automatic describes its Super Streeter transmissions as being built with extreme-duty clutches and bands, heavy-duty sprags or races, and improved lubrication circuits. According to the supplied product information, these components are designed to reduce heat generation while providing firm, crisp shifts, longer service life, and improved thrust capacities.
The PA45101-46E uses an OEM-style aluminum case. It has a stock transmission pan configuration and a slip-on yoke. The tailshaft measures 10.000 inches, while the input uses 35 splines.
The transmission has a 2.40 first gear ratio and is lockup compatible. It does not include a trans-brake.
This model is supplied as a remanufactured transmission and is sold individually. A VIN number is required when ordering.
Compatibility and Vehicle Applications
The Performance Automatic PA45101-46E is designed for performance-oriented street applications where additional horsepower capacity is required.
Its Ford bellhousing pattern is a primary compatibility characteristic. Buyers should confirm that the engine and vehicle configuration correspond with this mounting pattern before ordering.
The transmission uses a 35-spline input, 10.000-inch tailshaft, and slip-on yoke. These dimensions and interfaces should be checked against the existing drivetrain to ensure the transmission is appropriate for the intended application.
The PA45101-46E has four gears and a 2.40 first gear ratio. Its forward shift pattern and automatic/manual valve body provide the specified operating configuration.
Another important characteristic is lockup compatibility. Unlike non-lockup performance transmissions, this model is identified as lockup compatible, which can be an important consideration when matching the transmission to a compatible vehicle and drivetrain system.
The advertised 500-horsepower rating should also be considered when selecting the transmission. Buyers should evaluate the published rating alongside the complete drivetrain and intended use.
A VIN number is required for ordering this model. Customers should have the appropriate VIN information available when placing an order.
Heavy-Duty Internal Components
The Performance Automatic Super Streeter PA45101-46E is designed with performance-oriented internal components intended to handle increased horsepower.
Performance Automatic identifies extreme-duty clutches and bands as part of the Super Streeter transmission design. The product line also uses heavy-duty sprags or races and improved lubrication circuits.
These components are intended to reduce heat generation while supporting firm, crisp shifts and increased service life. Performance Automatic also identifies improved thrust capacities as an important characteristic of the Super Streeter range.
The PA45101-46E uses an aluminum OEM-style transmission case. The supplied specifications identify the transmission pan style as stock, while no transmission shield or flexplate shield is built into the unit.
The transmission is remanufactured rather than new. This condition is an important part of the product’s specification when comparing it with other performance automatic transmission options.
No specific numerical torque converter stall rating is supplied for this model, and the torque converter itself is not included.
Why Choose the PA45101-46E?
The Performance Automatic PA45101-46E combines a four-speed configuration with a 500-horsepower advertised rating and automatic/manual shifting capability.
Its automatic/manual valve body allows the transmission to support automatic or manual shifting, providing flexibility for suitable street performance applications.
The heavy-duty construction described for the Super Streeter line is another key consideration. Extreme-duty clutches and bands, heavy-duty sprags or races, and improved lubrication circuits are designed around the increased demands associated with higher-horsepower applications.
The transmission’s lockup compatibility also gives it a different configuration from non-lockup performance transmissions. Buyers should consider this feature when matching the unit to their existing drivetrain.
The Ford bellhousing pattern, 35-spline input, 10.000-inch tailshaft, slip-on yoke, and 2.40 first gear ratio provide additional fitment and performance information.
The product is sold individually and does not include several supporting components. The torque converter, flexplate, transmission controller, wiring harness, transmission cooler, transmission fluid, and dipstick are not included.
Who Is the PA45101-46E Designed For?
The Performance Automatic PA45101-46E is intended for customers building or maintaining street performance vehicles that require a four-speed automatic transmission with an advertised 500-horsepower rating.
It is particularly relevant to Ford-compatible performance applications where the bellhousing pattern and other drivetrain dimensions match the vehicle.
Performance enthusiasts, professional builders, repair specialists, and customers upgrading a higher-horsepower street vehicle may consider the Super Streeter configuration when its specifications match their application.
The automatic/manual valve body makes the transmission suitable for buyers who want both automatic and manual shifting capability. Its lockup compatibility is another important characteristic for suitable applications.
Customers should verify the 35-spline input, 10.000-inch tailshaft, slip-on yoke, 2.40 first gear ratio, and Ford bellhousing pattern before ordering.
The 500-horsepower advertised rating should also be compared with the engine’s output and the requirements of the complete drivetrain.
A VIN number is required for this product, making accurate vehicle identification an essential part of the ordering process.
