Description
Product Overview
The Hughes Performance Competition Transmissions 28-3-69B2D is a serious race-focused automatic transmission built for compatible Chevy applications that require a strong 2-speed competition transmission with full manual control and high-horsepower capability. As part of the Hughes Performance Competition Transmissions line, this unit is designed for severe competition use where internal strength, shift consistency, and repeatable performance are essential.
This transmission is identified by Manufacturer’s Part Number 28-3-69B2D and Summit Racing Part Number HUP-28-3-69B2D. These identifiers help drag racers, race teams, chassis builders, engine builders, race-prep garages, performance shops, transmission installers, service departments, and drivetrain specialists confirm the correct Hughes Performance transmission before ordering.
The transmission features a 2-speed configuration, Chevy bellhousing bolt pattern, forward shift pattern, and full manual valve body. This makes it suitable for compatible racing applications where the driver controls each shift and needs quick, solid gear changes.
The listed 1,500 horsepower rating gives this transmission strong appeal for high-output race builds when properly matched to the engine, torque converter, flexplate, rear gear, tire size, vehicle weight, cooling system, and race class.
The 1.69 first gear ratio is an important gearing detail for racers planning launch behavior, converter selection, rear axle ratio, tire size, engine rpm recovery, and track performance.
The notes confirm several key competition details: SFI 4.1 safety liner included, long style, and billet planetary with 9310 gears. These details are important for race builders confirming strength, safety, and chassis compatibility.
This transmission includes built-in transmission shield and built-in flexplate shield protection and carries an SFI 4.1/30.1 rating.
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 plan all required supporting components before installation.
Fitment and Application Details
The Hughes Performance 28-3-69B2D Competition transmission should be matched carefully to the intended Chevy racing application before ordering. Competition transmission fitment can vary by vehicle or chassis type, engine platform, bellhousing compatibility, torque converter setup, flexplate requirements, input shaft configuration, tailshaft style, yoke requirements, transmission mount location, crossmember position, driveshaft length, shifter setup, cooler routing, fluid requirements, and race safety rules.
Important fitment details to verify include vehicle or chassis type, engine platform, Chevy bellhousing bolt pattern, torque converter requirements, flexplate compatibility, converter bolt pattern, crankshaft pilot fitment, 30-spline input compatibility, 1.625-inch tailshaft fitment, long-style transmission layout, yoke requirements, transmission mount location, crossmember position, driveshaft length, shifter compatibility, forward shift pattern, full manual valve body operation, cooler line routing, transmission cooler requirements, fluid specifications, dipstick setup, SFI 4.1/30.1 compliance needs, and sanctioning-body rules.
Because this transmission uses a full manual valve body, buyers should confirm shifter compatibility, shift pattern, linkage or cable setup, and driver-controlled shifting requirements before installation.
Because the torque converter is not included, converter selection is critical. Buyers should match the converter to the engine output, torque curve, camshaft, vehicle weight, rear gear, tire size, launch rpm, and intended race application.
Because the flexplate is not included, buyers should confirm the correct flexplate for the engine, crankshaft, converter bolt pattern, balance requirement, and starter setup.
Because the transmission cooler is not included, a suitable cooler setup should be planned for repeated passes and demanding competition use.
Because the unit is listed as long style, buyers should verify chassis clearance, driveshaft length, mount location, and tailshaft fitment before ordering.
For a complete installation, additional components may be required, including a torque converter, flexplate, transmission cooler, cooler lines, transmission fluid, dipstick, shifter, shifter cable, transmission mount, crossmember hardware, driveshaft/yoke components, safety hardware, and vehicle-specific installation parts.
Build Quality and Reliability
The Hughes Performance Competition Transmissions 28-3-69B2D is built for buyers who need a strong competition transmission for demanding racing applications. Hughes Performance competition transmissions are designed for strength and reliability under severe conditions, using performance-focused parts and exacting assembly standards.
Hughes inspects internal and external components, then assembles the transmission to exact tolerances to support consistent operation and race-ready performance.
The 1,500 horsepower rating gives this transmission serious appeal for high-output competition vehicles when installed with the correct converter, flexplate, cooling system, driveline, and supporting components.
The billet planetary with 9310 gears is one of the strongest confirmed features of this unit and gives race builders an important drivetrain-strength detail.
The included SFI 4.1 safety liner, built-in transmission shield, built-in flexplate shield, and SFI 4.1/30.1 rating add important safety-focused value for competition applications.
The full manual valve body and forward shift pattern support quick, controlled shifts in compatible racing applications.
Because this transmission is sold individually and does not include several supporting components, proper setup is essential. Buyers should confirm converter selection, flexplate compatibility, cooler capacity, shifter setup, fluid fill requirements, driveshaft/yoke compatibility, and safety requirements before use.
