New Product Launch – Turbo 400 Steel Direct Drum

When horsepower climbs and abuse becomes part of the game, the factory cast direct drums and lightweight aluminum drums become a known weak point in both Turbo 400 and 4L80E transmissions. Hard launches, aggressive shifts, heavy drag & drive setups, and high RPM operation can push those components past their limit — often with catastrophic results.

Independence Driveline is proud to introduce our new Turbo 400 Steel Direct Drum, engineered for builders and race shops demanding strength, durability, and reliability in serious performance applications.

Available Options:
• 34 Element Sprag Version
• 36 Element Sprag Version

Our 36 Element package is offered as a complete performance kit featuring:
• CNC Machined Pressure Plate
• Performance 5 Clutch / 5 Steel Clutch Pack
• Heavy-Duty Steel Direct Drum Assembly

Designed for both Turbo 400 and 4L80E transmissions, these drums are built to handle the punishment that high horsepower street, strip, and drag & drive vehicles deliver.

Whether you’re upgrading a proven race combination or building a transmission for today’s power levels, Independence Driveline components are built to keep you moving forward.

Unleash the Power of Independence.

PRODUCT LAUNCH: 6R80 Billet Intermediate Shaft

Shops building 6R80s at higher power levels already know where the problems start—the intermediate shaft doesn’t hold up once torque, load, and shift pressure increase.

The Independence Driveline Billet 6R80 Intermediate Shaft is built to address that failure point directly. Precision CNC-machined for consistency and strength, this is a hard-part upgrade intended for builds that see real load, not occasional use.

Designed for high horsepower and high torque applications, this shaft holds up in environments where stock components begin to twist, fatigue, or fail—especially in units behind boosted Coyote setups, aggressive calibrations, and high-traction combinations.

This is a practical solution for shops looking to reduce repeat failures and increase confidence in their 6R80 builds under demanding conditions.

Key Points:
•Made from 300M Steel
• CNC-machined billet construction for repeatable quality
• Increased strength over OE intermediate shafts
• Intended for high load, high torque applications
• Suitable for street/strip and track-driven builds

Common Applications:
• Boosted Coyote 5.0 builds (turbo/supercharged)
• High-torque street and drag packages
• Aggressive shift strategy calibrations
• Full performance 6R80 rebuilds

At Independence Driveline, our focus is supplying components that shops can rely on when the build demands more than stock can deliver.
