Transmission Adapter Plate Makes Swapping Easier

What is a Transmission Adapter Plate?

A transmission adapter plate is a vital component for connecting different motor and transmission options. In applications where a specific motor and transmission combination is desired but not offered from the factory, a transmission adapter allows the motor and transmission to work together. Whether you’re doing a manual transmission swap, automatic transmission swap, or motor swap, an adapter plate will take the guesswork out of this complicated procedure.

LS transmission adapters are perhaps the most common adapter plates on the market. They allow the versatile LS motor to work in almost any car thanks to a variety of transmission options. Although LS adapter plates are perhaps the most common, any motor and transmission combination may utilize an adapter plate. These parts unlock endless transmission swap possibilities. Unlike conventional methods that required extensive modification to your transmission bellhousing, a manual transmission swap kit featuring a bolt-on adapter plate. This saves a considerable amount of effort and time during installation. 

Why Use a G Force Transmission Adapter Plate?

In addition, our kits come with all the necessary hardware and components to complete your project.

We set our standards high to guarantee that your G Force adaptor plate precisely mates your motor and transmission combination with minimal effort.  Furthermore, we make certain the best quality products for our customers. For example, our Cummins adapter is made from a single solid piece of billet aluminum to ensure unparalleled strength. And, we machine our Z32 and Z33 adapters using laser-cut steel.

Not only will our transmission adapter plate make your next project easy, but it may also reduce the cost of your next build! Traditionally, if you want to swap a motor made by a specific manufacturer,  a transmission from the same manufacturer is needed. In instances of 2JZ swaps or LS swaps that could require the use of a V-160, R-154, or T-56 magnum transmission, the cost can sometimes be more than the motor itself. A G Force adapter plate offers the ability to choose from much more affordable transmission options, which helps the budget-conscious mechanic or do-it-yourselfer. Not to mention that our “bolt-on” design helps save time, and time is money!
