Xtreme Tow® 68RFE Rebuild Kit w/ Torque Converter (650HP)

Next Gen Drivetrain, Inc.

Description

Introduction:

This is our recently revamped and updated Xtreme Tow® series of our 68RFE rebuild kit lineup. The 68RFE is easily one of the most problematic and untrustworthy transmissions that currently plagues the diesel truck world. It is a promising source of overdrive failure, broken input shafts and crossleaking valve bodies to say the very least. We even did a full-length technical publication on the 68RFE, it’s problems and it’s solutions. You can read more here:

>>> Transmissions 101: 68RFE Transmission • Problems & Solutions

Fortunately, we have gone back to the drawing board in the interest of creating a product where the priorities of longevity, practicality and economy were all equal. The result was our capable and versatile Xtreme Tow® 68RFE Transmission and transmission rebuild kit.

Note: This is a rebuild kit, not a complete transmission. If you would like a complete transmission with our 2 Year / Unlimited Mile warranty, see our durable Xtreme Tow® 68RFE Transmission here:

     Next Gen Drivetrain, Inc. is a Veteran Owned and Operated company in gorgeous San Diego, California that specializes in engineering, developing and manufacturing the height of automotive transmission technology. Unlike most transmission companies that simply buy often foreign-made parts from their supplier, rebuild a transmission and sell it to you at an upcharge, Next Gen Drivetrain, Inc. is not a transmission shop or simple transmission rebuilding facility. We are an engineering and manufacturing firm specializing in automotive transmission technology, ranging from exotic imports to muscle cars to diesel trucks.

We’ve invented dozens and dozens of different unique transmission parts from nothing that are exclusive to Next Gen Drivetrain™, not to mention developing over 100 different custom transmission and torque converter build sheets. We do not sell our popular inventions such as our Project Carbon® valve body upgrade kits to other large transmission companies, making Next Gen Drivetrain™ products truly unique to Next Gen Drivetrain™. Next Gen Drivetrain™ parts are proprietarily engineered in-house and manufactured right here in San Diego, California.

     Further, everything we develop is designed to be the highest quality and best functioning component first, with all other metrics secondary. For example, things made of Aluminum will often be Steel or Tungsten at Next Gen Drivetrain™. Things that are cast at other companies will often be CNC Machined at Next Gen Drivetrain™, and so on. When purchasing a Next Gen Drivetrain™, you can be assured that you’ve chosen the most premium option available, far more than some basic updates and a colorful painted exterior.

We highly encourage you to compare our build sheets to any similarly priced product by a so-called “competitors” as you will see Next Gen Drivetrain™ products have no true equivalent, featuring the most extensive set of deliverables at their respective costs.

Why Choose an Xtreme Tow® Series Transmission?

What’s new with the Xtreme Tow®:

As we scale in our pursuit to include the diverse needs of all of our customers in our transmission lineup, we introduced the well tested and calculated Xtreme Tow® Package. The Xtreme Tow® Package is a compilation of parts necessary for clients who intend to tow very heavy or very frequently. This package is the product of extensive study into what components fail most frequently from the factory in applications where the consumer towed exclusively, or towed extremely heavily. This is an exemplary add-on package for those who are not necessarily seeking added power beyond the Xtreme Tow® 600HP threshold of success, but will be towing frequently with this transmission.

This package will consist of three critical components. The first is our Project Carbon® Sprag Assembly, allowing you to take off from stops safely with extreme amounts of weight behind you. The second is a cryogenically treated OD clutch hub, a common hard part failure seen in extreme towing applications that often totals the transmission completely when broken. Lastly, is a Steel SFI Approved Flexplate standard, also thickened to augment reinforcement in critical areas. Conjunctively, this team of hand-picked components will work together to ensure the safest execution of virtually any towing application.

This unit is best for:

Daily Driving
Towing/Hot-Shotting
Stock to Moderate Power Increases
Long-Lasting Clutch Materials
Freeway Pulls/Moving Launches
Firm but Predictable Shifts

About Next Gen Drivetrain™ Transmission Rebuild Kits:

There are two main problems that most will come across when buying a rebuild kit for their transmission. The first problem, is the kit simply not having the parts needed to finish the job. Many rebuild kits come with gaskets and seals, a friction module and a shift kit. Although these are all justifiable purchases, they leave someone committed to “doing it right” with much to be desired. At Next Gen Drivetrain™, this problem is simply nonexistent. We are proud to include every last component necessary to not only complete the job, but complete it properly and not have to purchase additional parts like electronics or bushings elsewhere.

Secondly, it is just short of a standard for rebuild kits to possess different parts than what is used in the actual product. (i.e. lower quality clutches than what are used in the manufactured product) At Next Gen Drivetrain™, we simply disagree. Our high performance rebuild kits are comprised of the exact same parts that we use in our own complete transmission builds, down to the clutch material. It may be a common practice for the rebuild kit to hail in comparison to the real deal, but at Next Gen Drivetrain™, this is no more.
