  • FRTC2 – 2 SPEED TRANSFER CASE W/ LOCKABLE SPRAG

    This transfer case gives you the option of shifting between two ratios and comes with an incorporated sprag that can be locked out to maintain 4WD while the transmission is in reverse. The sprag decouples the front drive from the rear drive to improve handling characteristics and minimize braking loads on the front drivetrain. The FRTC2 is configurable in a mid-engine or front-engine race car. A variety of ratios can be used in this transfer case so that it can be used as a high/low shift for rock crawling or an overdrive shift for high speed desert sections.

  • FRONT DIFF, 10″ RING GEAR, DIRECT DRIVE

    This is our 10″ front differential without a drop gear input. The direct drive helps in situations where suspension geometry points are close to the differential and also in mid engine applications where the front driveshaft does not follow the standard counter clockwise rotation. As with most of our products, it can be configured for a lightweight or heavy race car. Sold as a torque sensing or open differential. 930 or 934 CV flanges. Yoke or CV input.

  • FRONT DIFF, 10″ RING GEAR, 5″ DROP GEAR W/ SPRAG

    This differential uses our race proven 10″ front differential, originally raced in a trophy truck in 2015, and incorporates a new larger drop gear input that comes integrated with a sprag. It can be used in a front engine or mid engine configuration. Adding the sprag may help with clearance to the pulleys and front accessories of the engine. The unit can be configured to accommodate both high horsepower/heavyweight trucks and small horsepower/lightweight buggies. Sold as a torque sensing or open diff. 930 or 934 CV flanges. Yoke or CV input.

  • TURBO 400 TRANSFER CASE W/ SPRAG

  • FRST5 4.0 CDS

    “Fortin Racing 5 Speed Sequential AWD Truck Gearbox, 4” Gear Center with Center Diff and Sprag” The mission was to design the ultimate AWD Trophy Truck gearbox that could handle over 1000 hp with 40” tires in a 7000-pound truck. This all new AWD gearbox design for 2019 takes the race winning proven design of the FRST5 (3x Overall winner of the Mint 400) and adds strength across the board. This gearbox is currently being run in a truck capable of producing over 1500 hp. Increased traction features have allowed this vehicle to produce speeds over 160 mph.

  • FRST5 SEQUENTIAL

    Fortin Racing developed and converted the first Hewland Transaxle, originally designed for Formula and Indy Car racing, for off-road desert racing in 1971. The Hewland DG 300 with Fortin modifications quickly became the off-road racing industry leader as it allowed unlimited class teams to increase their engine size to 3.2 litre.

     

    In the early 1980’s Fortin Racing began developing the Fortin 5spd. The Fortin Transaxle has continued to evolve to meet the demands of off-road racing, desert rally racing, endurance road course racing and drag racing around the world. The transaxle is currently running up to 700 Hp in off-road racing, over 1000 Hp in recreational vehicles and over 1100 Hp in front-wheel-drive drag race cars. The new off-road desert and short course truck gearboxes are currently being run with over 800 Hp. The most recent Fortin Transaxle wins include the 2007 Dakar Rally, the 2008 BITD Terrible Town 250, the 2008 SCORE Baja 500, the 2008 SCORE Baja 1000 and the 2008 BITD Vegas to Reno. McDowell Motorsports recently won the 2008 BITD points championship and “The King of The Desert” award for fastest mile per hour average among all classes for the entire season using the FRS5 transaxle.

     

    The original Fortin 5 speed has evolved during the past 20 years into a complete line up of gearboxes including 4 and 5 speed “H” pattern gearboxes and 4, 5 and 6 speed sequential gearboxes. No matter what your application is we can match you with the right gearbox.

  • FRST4 / 5L SEQUENTIAL

    4 speed sequentially shifted gearbox designed for front-engine rear-wheel-drive race cars. Optional Chevy or Ford bell housing. The gearbox is built on 3.5” gear centers. The FRS4 has a 25mm wide-tooth face whereas the FRS5L has 18mm wide-tooth faces. The FRS4 is perfect for off-road race trucks with up to 700hp and 39” tires. The FRS5L is designed for road race applications and Drift cars with over 1000hp. The gearbox can be used with a torque converter

  • Front Differential (Pro4/TT)

    Created at a time when a true offroad racing front differential did not exist. This championship proven part can be sold in multiple configurations that address your specific racing needs. Choose your CV size (930 or 934), differential carrier (open or torque biasing), main case material (billet or cast), and drop gear set (3.5″ or 4.0″). The input drop gear set not only gets the rotation of the ring gear correct for the front drive, but also provides some reduction in the gear set. This allows you to run a taller (and stronger) 10.5″ ring and pinion.

  • FORTIN BILLET SHIFTER

    Our Billet Shifter Arm is integrated and has been redesigned to make fine adjustments to the spread of the H shift pattern. Essentially this feature allows the user to widen the spacing between 1st, 3rd, and 5th gear. Note that 2nd, 4th, 6th, and reverse gears will also be spread apart when adjusted. We have also developed a proper short shifter option that wonÍt damage or break the cable guides. This is accomplished by making the shifter cable mounting point adjustable to correct the angle at the cable connection. The shift lever and shifter ball are made from solid stainless steel and seated in a spring-loaded brass socket. This combination of stainless and brass allows the two materials to lap together while the springs push up and eliminate ñplayî at the ball. The lever is fully adjustable in height and offsets rotation. Height can be adjusted up to 2″ taller or shorter than stock and there is an amazing 90 different offset positions.
