AMSOIL Super Shift® Racing Transmission Fluid

Formulated for High-Horsepower, High-Torque Applications

  • Resists extreme heat to virtually eliminate slippage and improve shift performance
  • Protects against wear, helping racers improve on the track and save money in the garage

Product Overview

For maximum success, racers need to be confident their transmission is going to shift smoothly and operate properly no matter how hard they push their vehicle. Powerful, high-torque racing applications, however, place enormous stress on transmissions. Fluids incapable of withstanding intense heat and shearing forces can break down, leading to damaging sludge, wear and poor shift quality.

Helps Transmissions Run Clean
AMSOIL Super Shift guards against heat and wear, helping reduce temperatures and prevent transmission failures. Its superior oxidative and thermal stability inhibits the formation of varnish, deposits and sludge so equipment runs clean. Super Shift acts as a heat transfer fluid and, by controlling clutch slippage, it helps reduce operating temperatures in hot transmissions. In low temperatures, Super Shift flows readily for dependable startup and post-startup protection.

Smooth Shifts
AMSOIL Super Shift contains top-quality additives selected specifically for racing applications. Its superior transmission friction performance provides high holding capacity for maximum torque transfer and brake power. Super Shift virtually eliminates slippage, promotes positive clutch engagement and improves overall shift performance, helping racers improve lap times.

Wear Protection
AMSOIL Super Shift contains a robust additive system for extra protection, and its shear-stable base oils help prevent viscosity loss throughout its service life. Super Shift provides long-term protection against equipment wear, even when equipment is frequently subjected to sustained periods of applied pressure or high horsepower and high torque. It helps clutches, bearings and bushings last longer, saving money on transmission repairs.

Inhibits Corrosion and Foam
AMSOIL Super Shift protects equipment from corrosion during prolonged periods of equipment storage. It controls foaming for reduced component wear and responsive clutch plate engagement.

  • Helps reduce extreme heat
  • Promotes smooth shifts
  • Guards against wear

RECOMMENDATIONS
Use in automatic transmissions coupled to high-horsepower, high-torque engines and where heavy loads place a high demand on transmissions. Use in transmissions that require Allison* C-4 or Ford* Type F fluid. Suggested automatic transmission applications include:

  • Drag racing cars and trucks
  • Monster trucks
  • Stock cars
  • Off-road 4×4 vehicles
  • Street hot rods

COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Super Shift Synthetic Racing Transmission Fluid is compatible with other fluids; however, for best performance and service life, mixing fluids should be minimized.

Note: AMSOIL Super Shift Synthetic Racing Transmission Fluid is not recommended as a replacement for Ford MERCON*, GM* DEXRON or Chrysler* ATF+ type fluids in passenger vehicle and truck transmissions as it may cause erratic shift patterns, chattering or noise. AMSOIL is not responsible for transmission performance inconsistent with those specifications listed and where transmissions have been modified from the original manufacturer’s design.
