STOP SHIFTING
AND START DRIVING
TE RACE AUTO TRANSAXLE
Our signature transaxle, the TE Race Auto, has proven itself to withstand the highest levels of competitions. Racers have put it to the test and have conquered many off road exhibitions like the Baja 1000, NORRA 1000, Rally dos Sertões, and Vegas to Reno. While others have applied the transaxle to their pre runners, sand cars, rally, and kit cars. The unique transaxle holds a three speed semi-automatic with a ten-inch ring gear and cushioned by an industry-first torque converter.

The automatic section is based on an Audi turbo with three forward gears, plus reverse. First gear is used for low speeds, while the other two gears for mid and high speeds. A custom valve body is milled to give the drivers true control of the selected gear without a clutch.
The transaxle is a tried and true component of off-road and racing alike. Standing up to grueling temperatures in San Felipe for the Baja 1000 and the performance needed in the tight and technical Matome Wash.
AUTOMATIC
QUICK CHANGE GEARS
A set of "quick change" style gears housed between the automatic and differential allow for final drive ratio to be fine tuned.
Between the quick change gears and ring/pinion we have over 167 combinations to gear the vehicle to your specifications.
BELLHOUSING
Transaxle Engineering was the first off road transaxle company to use a torque converter in this type of setup 20 years ago.
The bellhousing is one of two frame mounts with ten bolts for extra rigidity to the frame. The external plumbing mounted on the top flows ATF from the automatic section through the torque converter and back to the heat exchange/cooler.
A custom built 10 inch billet torque converter is ordered specifically for the application. And a specific adapter plate depending on motor specifications.
For a plumbing diagram, please follow the installation instructions below.
DIFFERENTIAL
The center section is setup with an aluminum differential, chromoly spider gears, and a burly ten-inch Winter's ring gear and pinion with all the power going out to 934 CV's.
