Description
Performance Automatic PASS26108 Transmission Overview
The Performance Automatic C4 Coyote Drag Pack Transmission System PASS26108 is a complete performance automatic transmission package designed to complement Ford’s 5.0L Coyote engine platform. It is built for compatible Ford V8 RWD applications that require a strong C4-based automatic transmission system for drag racing and high-performance use.
This system starts with Performance Automatic’s C4 Super Comp transmission, which is advertised with a 1,000 horsepower rating for applications at or below that power level. It is designed for builders who need strength, consistency, and direct-fit Coyote compatibility in one kit.
The transmission uses a 3-speed automatic layout, reverse shift pattern, and full manual valve body. These features make it a race-focused transmission package for drivers who want direct control over gear changes during performance driving.
The kit includes a 10-inch Pro Launch torque converter, SFI certified Coyote flexplate, matching block plate, lock top dipstick and filler tube, Pro Fit bellhousing components, bellhousing bolts, and flexplate bolts. It is sold as a kit rather than a standalone transmission.
For Coyote-swapped race cars, Ford drag builds, and serious street/strip projects, the Performance Automatic PASS26108 provides a focused automatic transmission solution built around durability and repeatable performance.
Vehicle Fitment and Common Applications
The Performance Automatic C4 Coyote Drag Pack Transmission System PASS26108 is designed for compatible Ford Modular 5.0L Coyote engines in RWD applications. It uses the Ford bellhousing bolt pattern and is intended for builds requiring a C4 transmission manufacturer code setup.
This system should not be selected by horsepower rating alone. Fitment depends on engine type, drivetrain layout, bellhousing compatibility, flexplate requirements, converter setup, transmission mount, driveshaft configuration, cooler routing, shifter compatibility, case clearance, and race-class rules.
The kit is recommended for applications with 1,000 horsepower or less. It is designed for Ford Coyote-powered vehicles where builders want a compact, strong, drag-focused C4-style automatic transmission package.
This system is commonly considered for Coyote swap projects, dedicated drag cars, street/strip Fords, lightweight race builds, and high-performance RWD applications using a 5.0L Coyote V8.
Before ordering, buyers should confirm engine fitment, rear-wheel-drive configuration, converter stall suitability, shifter setup, cooling system requirements, transmission crossmember, driveshaft/yoke compatibility, flexplate requirements, and sanctioning-body rules where racing is involved.
C4 Coyote Drag Pack Performance Design
The Performance Automatic C4 Coyote Drag Pack Transmission System is built around the C4 platform, a popular choice in drag applications because of its compact size, efficiency, and performance potential when properly built.
This system is advertised for up to 1,000 horsepower, giving it the strength required for many serious Coyote-powered drag builds. Performance Automatic combines the C4 Super Comp transmission with Coyote-specific supporting components to create a package built for performance consistency.
The full manual valve body gives the driver direct control over gear changes. This is important in racing applications where shift timing can affect launch, acceleration, and elapsed time.
The reverse shift pattern is another race-oriented feature. It is commonly used in performance automatic setups to support deliberate, controlled shifting during hard acceleration.
A trans-brake is included, making this system more suitable for drag race launches where the vehicle needs to build power before release. This feature is especially valuable for racers seeking consistent starting-line performance.
Torque Converter and Stall Details
The Performance Automatic PASS26108 includes a 10-inch Pro Launch torque converter designed to enhance the performance characteristics of the Ford Coyote engine. The converter is listed with an advertised 3,000 rpm flash stall rating.
The torque converter is built with anti-ballooning plates and a billet cover, supporting durability in high-performance use. These details matter because drag racing and high-horsepower launches place heavy stress on the converter.
The 3,000 rpm flash stall rating can help the engine reach a stronger part of its powerband during launch in compatible combinations. Final converter behavior can still depend on vehicle weight, engine output, rear gear ratio, tire size, camshaft profile, and intended use.
The system is not lockup compatible, which is typical for many race-focused automatic transmission setups. Buyers should confirm that non-lockup converter operation is suitable for their application.
Because converter selection affects launch, drivability, heat, and track consistency, buyers should ensure the included converter specification aligns with the vehicle’s engine combination and performance goals.
SFI Components and Race-Focused Package Value
This system includes an SFI certified Coyote flexplate and is listed with an SFI 29.1 rating. SFI-related components are important in racing environments where approved safety and performance parts may be required by sanctioning bodies or race classes.
Performance Automatic also includes a matching block plate, lock top dipstick and filler tube, bellhousing and flexplate bolts, and their SFI Pro Fit bellhousing components. These included parts help make the package more complete for compatible Coyote installations.
The transmission pan is a deep aluminum pan with a natural finish. A deep pan can support increased fluid capacity and improved service access in performance applications, depending on the setup.
The transmission case uses an OEM-style aluminum case with a black finish. The case does not include a built-in transmission shield or built-in flexplate shield, so racers should check their class rules and safety requirements before installation.
This system is accepted in many NHRA, IHRA, NMRA, and NMCA classes, but buyers should always confirm current sanctioning-body requirements for their exact class before racing.
Key Benefits for Coyote Drag Builds
The main benefit of the Performance Automatic C4 Coyote Drag Pack Transmission System PASS26108 is that it brings together a C4-based performance transmission and Coyote-specific components in one kit.
The 1,000 horsepower rating makes it a strong option for serious builds at or below that power level. The full manual valve body, reverse shift pattern, and included trans-brake give racers the control and launch features expected in a drag-focused transmission package.
The included 10-inch Pro Launch torque converter adds value because it is designed around the Coyote engine’s performance characteristics. The 3,000 rpm flash stall rating gives builders a useful starting point for launch behavior and track performance.
The included SFI Coyote flexplate, Pro Fit bellhousing components, block plate, dipstick, filler tube, and hardware reduce the need to source several major pieces separately.
For Coyote-powered drag cars and performance Fords, this kit offers a more complete and purpose-built solution than buying a generic C4 transmission and trying to adapt every supporting part individually.
Who This Transmission System Is Best For
This transmission system is best for builders working with compatible Ford 5.0L Coyote V8 engines in RWD applications who need a drag-focused C4 automatic transmission kit.
It is suitable for drag racers, street/strip builders, Coyote swap shops, Ford performance specialists, race-prep businesses, and serious enthusiasts building a high-horsepower automatic transmission setup.
This product is a strong choice when the build requires a 3-speed automatic transmission, full manual valve body, reverse shift pattern, trans-brake, 10-inch converter, and SFI-rated supporting components.
It is also appropriate for applications where the vehicle is expected to make 1,000 horsepower or less and where the builder wants Performance Automatic’s Coyote-focused Drag Pack system.
This system is not intended for applications requiring electronic transmission control, lockup converter compatibility, an included transmission controller, an included wiring harness, a built-in transmission shield, or a non-Coyote engine fitment unless compatibility has been professionally confirmed.
