Product Overview

The Hughes Performance Competition Transmissions 28-4-76B2D is a serious competition automatic transmission built for compatible Chevy drag racing applications where launch control, strength, and repeatable performance are critical. As part of the Hughes Performance Competition Transmissions line, this unit is engineered for demanding race environments and is designed to withstand pass after pass.

This transmission is identified by Manufacturer’s Part Number 28-4-76B2D and Summit Racing Part Number HUP-28-4-76B2D. These identifiers help drag racers, race teams, chassis builders, engine builders, race-prep garages, transmission installers, and drivetrain specialists confirm the correct Hughes Performance transmission before ordering.

The transmission features a 2-speed automatic configuration, Chevy bellhousing bolt pattern, reverse shift pattern, and full manual valve body. It is listed with a 1,250 horsepower rating, making it a strong option for high-output competition vehicles when properly matched to the engine, converter, chassis, rear gear, tire size, and racing class.

The transmission includes a trans-brake, giving racers controlled launch capability when properly wired and configured. Hughes competition transmissions are equipped with Hughes Pro III trans-brake valve bodies, supporting quick, solid shifts in serious competition use.

This unit uses a deep aluminum pan, 1.625-inch tailshaft, slip-on yoke style, 30-spline input, 1.76 first gear ratio, steel clutch hub, and black aluminum case.

It also includes built-in transmission shield and built-in flexplate shield protection, with an SFI 4.1/30.1 rating. The notes confirm that an SFI 4.1 safety liner is included.

This transmission is built in a short style for dragster chassis and includes a billet planetary with 9310 gears, both of which are important confirmed details for dragster and high-performance racing applications.

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 supporting components before installation.

Fitment and Application Details

The Hughes Performance 28-4-76B2D Competition transmission should be matched carefully to the intended Chevy racing application before ordering. Competition transmission fitment can vary by engine platform, bellhousing compatibility, converter setup, flexplate requirements, chassis layout, tailshaft length, driveshaft length, yoke style, shifter type, trans-brake wiring, cooler routing, fluid requirements, and race safety rules.

This transmission is listed with a Chevy bellhousing bolt pattern, 2-speed automatic configuration, reverse shift pattern, full manual valve body, 1.625-inch short tailshaft, and short style for dragster chassis. Buyers should confirm that this exact short-style configuration matches the intended dragster chassis, transmission mount location, crossmember setup, driveshaft/yoke requirements, converter, and engine combination.

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, 1.625-inch tailshaft fitment, slip-on yoke compatibility, 30-spline input compatibility, transmission mount location, crossmember position, driveshaft length, shifter compatibility, reverse shift pattern, full manual valve body operation, trans-brake wiring, activation method, cooler line routing, transmission cooler requirements, fluid specifications, dipstick setup, SFI 4.1/30.1 compliance needs, and racing-class rules.

Because this transmission is listed with a full manual valve body, buyers should confirm shifter compatibility, shift pattern, and driver-controlled shifting requirements before installation.

Because the trans-brake is included, buyers should confirm activation method, wiring, launch-control setup, converter compatibility, battery/electrical readiness, and sanctioning-body rules before ordering.

Because this unit includes built-in shields and an SFI 4.1 safety liner, buyers should confirm the safety requirements for the intended race class and chassis.
