At Dodson, we have meticulously crafted our GR6 HEAVY DUTY 1-6 GEARSET (DMS-7932) to not only exceed industry standards but also to include a range of components that set us apart from the competition. Our all-inclusive kit is designed to provide unparalleled performance, reliability, and ease of installation at an economic price point, making it the ultimate choice for mid-level builds in the 1,000 to 1,500 horsepower range.
The following components are provided in the all-inclusive kit:
GR6 HEAVY DUTY 1-6 GEARS & MAIN SHAFT:
Case hardened, steel alloy, precision ground gearset specially designed to increase strength and resist fatigue.
GR6 MECHANICAL CIRCLIP #2, OUTPUT SHAFT (DMS-0959):
Facilitates easy gearset disassembly.
Fastens more robustly than the OEM circlip.
GR6 OUTPUT SHAFT END FLOAT SHIM (DMS-0960):
Eliminates any gap between the gearset and OE thrust plate which may arise due to variations in the OE components.
Required only with the OE thrust plate, as the Dodson thrust plate doesn't require this shim.
GR6 REUSABLE METAL MESH CANISTER TRANSMISSION FILTER (DMS-2810):
Provides a cost-effective replacement versus expensive single-use OEM filters.
Reusable on a go-forward basis.
GR6 EXTREME DUTY GEAR SELECTOR SHAFT (3/5) (DMS-5707):
Hollow OE selector shafts can bend, solid high strength steel Dodson replacements are rigid.
Dodson selector shafts are designed specifically for the Dodson gearset, with a 3mm offset.
GR6 PARK PAWL (DMS-5708):
Designed to be narrower, accommodating the wider gears in the Dodson gearset.
GR6 FWD GEAR LOCK (DMS-7133):
Serves as a preventive measure against the circlip pushing the splines off the shaft due to thrust forces.
GR6 HEAVY DUTY BILLET SHIFT FORK (3/5) (DMS-7909):
Significantly stronger than the OE fork.
Compatible with the Dodson gearset selector shaft and 3mm offset.
Wear-resistant surface finish.
VARIOUS CIRCLIPS:
Replacing worn or damaged OE circlips ensures the overall integrity and functionality of the gearset.
