To avoid the problems found with older, OE housing designs, Sonnax starts with the latest production, new housings from GM. These improved housings have splines for the input shaft that are cut at minimum spec for reliable shaft retention and sealing. The housings also benefit from added material for a thicker, more consistent cross-section that protects against breakage.

Combined with other Sonnax improvements, the Smart-Tech input housing guarantees the ultimate combination of durability and protection against failure in high horsepower, higher pressure applications. The housing also is available with a pre-installed, Sonnax heavy-duty input shaft.

• Physically larger clutch pack area for increased 3-4 clutch capacity without sacrificing clutch durability. Use your choice of:
  • Eight .067" frictions with seven .095" steels
  • Nine .062" frictions with eight .077" steels

• Anchored backing plate keeps clutches parallel to stop the flexing and distortion that leads to heat build-up
• 100% New housing optimizes input shaft fitment and is further upgraded for significantly more resistant to fatigue failure
• Steel reinforcement sleeve prevents breakage in the spline area
• Custom backing plate replaces OE retaining ring to eliminate risk of blowout
