Description
The Bert Gen 2 Short Transmission Kit for 1-Piece Rear Main Seal is a complete lightweight racing transmission package designed specifically for 1986-up Small Block Chevrolet engines with a 1-piece rear main seal. Engineered for dirt track, oval track, and circle track racing, this kit combines the proven Bert Gen II short transmission with the essential installation components needed for a reliable, race-ready drivetrain.
The Bert Gen II transmission is renowned for its innovative low rotating mass design, allowing more engine power to reach the rear wheels. In direct drive (high gear), the first and reverse gear assemblies are completely disengaged, eliminating unnecessary rotating weight and reducing wear on internal components. This results in improved throttle response, increased efficiency, and outstanding durability under demanding racing conditions.
Constructed with a lightweight aluminum case, the Bert Gen II Short Transmission is rated to handle up to 600 lb-ft of torque while providing smooth, dependable performance. The included steel bellhousing is compatible with both Small Block Chevrolet (SBC) and Small Block Ford (SBF) engine bolt patterns and adapts to Muncie and Saginaw transmission mounting patterns commonly used in racing applications.
Designed exclusively for competition use, this transmission kit is an excellent choice for Wissota Modifieds, IMCA Modifieds, Midwest Modifieds, Sport Mods, Hobby Stocks, and other circle track racing classes where lightweight construction and maximum drivetrain efficiency are essential.
