Hughes Performance

Hughes Performance Designers, developers, and manufacturers of custom torque converters, transmissions, and components. Hughes Performance was founded in 1971.

Founder Bill Hughes, Sr. began the humble beginnings of this company in a small shop that rebuilt OEM torque converters. Bill's son Jim Hughes took interest in the design and engineering of torque converters for racing purposes. Jim's involvement in the company took Hughes Performance to the next level, and resulted in a dynamic change within the company that quickly elevated Hughes Performance to the upper echelon of high performance and racing torque converter manufacturing. The time came for Hughes to jump into the transmission side of the industry. Enter Bill's son Jeff Hughes. With Jeff's in-depth understanding of automatic transmission function as well as his machining abilities Hughes Performance enjoyed immediate success in the high performance and racing transmission market. Today Hughes Performance employs over 40 people and continues to proudly manufacture the finest torque converters and transmissions currently available in the aftermarket.

🔥 Hughes Performance customer Chuck Marlatt and 3rd Gen Camaro are putting in work at Sick The Magazine Michigan Miles!

Chuck is competing in the Michigan Miles Drag & Drive event, putting both the car and components through the kind of real-world abuse these events are known for.

At Northern Michigan Dragway, Chuck laid down a 4.869, putting him at the top of the field early in the day!

Helping get the power to the ground is a Hughes Performance aluminum bolt-together torque converter. Drag & Drive events are the ultimate test: race it, drive it to the next track, and do it all over again.

Congrats to Chuck on a killer run. Keep laying down the numbers and putting that Hughes converter to work! 💪

Race it. Drive it. Repeat.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our friend and longtime Hughes Performance family member, Matt Thomas, this past Sunday.

Matt was more than a dedicated employee. He was a hardworking, dependable teammate and a friend to so many of us. His presence will be deeply missed both inside our shop and beyond.

During this incredibly difficult time, Matt’s family is facing unexpected expenses. If you’re able, we ask that you consider supporting them through the GoFundMe established in his memory. Every donation, no matter the amount, will help ease the burden on his loved ones.

Thank you for keeping Matt’s family in your thoughts and prayers.

Once a part of the Hughes family, always a part of the Hughes family. Rest easy, Matt
