Transmission bands serve as thin steel components anchored to a transmission's case, facilitating gear selection and action. Hydraulic transmission fluid plays a pivotal role in activating these bands, which are connected to servos. When torque converter pressure prompts the servo mechanisms to fill with hydraulic transmission fluid, they apply force against the bands, securing them around the transmission drums.
During this process, flex bands enable gear action by establishing a link between the transmission axle shaft and the transmission gears. Each transmission gear set corresponds to a specific set of transmission bands and drums, initiating transmission gear action. As fluid exits the servos, the bands disengage, and the entire process is reversed.
TCI® High Performance Flex Bands distinguish themselves with band linings featuring a higher coefficient of friction, enhancing torque capacity and facilitating quicker, more positive band engagement. Additionally, TCI® offers a line of bands known as "Powerbands™," incorporating the robust material Kevlar. These powerbands, up to 18% wider than OE bands, deliver increased torque capacity, fostering more positive shifts and band applications. The anchor area on these bands boasts extra thickness, heat-treated, high-carbon steel construction, mitigating the stretching and breakage commonly associated with stock bands. Essential for street, towing, or competitive applications, these bands from TCI® are a necessity for optimal transmission performance.
