When standard factory equipment isn't enough to handle your truck's heavy demands, it's time to step up to a higher class of performance. If you routinely haul heavy fifth-wheel trailers, drive a modified diesel with boosted horsepower, or run a high-torque muscle car, you need a transmission engineered to flex serious muscle without slipping. Express Transmissions is proud to be an authorized supplier and installer of the legendary Road Ripper™ series by Certified Transmission. These high-performance automatic transmissions are completely remanufactured with heavy-duty components, increased density clutch packs, maximized line pressure for firm, positive shifting, and enhanced cooling circuits designed to beat the heat. Don’t settle for a basic factory rebuild when you can unlock maximum durability and stouter towing power. Explore the Road Ripper™ models below, or contact our performance experts today at our facilities in Salt Lake City, Murray, or West Jordan to find the perfect match for your rig.
Behold the Road Ripper™ 1000 transmission remanufactured by Certified Transmission. This truck transmission packs more muscle than factory-stock and knows how to flex it. But be warned: it does not tread lightly. On the open road, it hauls @$$. On power jobs, it kicks @$$. This is big-boy territory now. The line has been drawn. The very durable Road Ripper™ 1000.
The Road Ripper™ 1000 the first step to improving your truck's factory-stock transmission. Certified Transmission begins by increasing pressure in the transmission for firmer applications of clutches and bands, providing a for a more positive shift when driving the roads of the greater Salt Lake City area. Then Certified Transmission addresses the pressure after the application of clutches and bands so there is less chance of slipping the clutches.
Vehicle Applications:
- Snowplow Vehicles
- Towing up to an extra 4,000 pounds (two tons)
- Engines with added horsepower of up to 100
- Hot rods & muscle cars with street tires
- Drivers wanting more than shift kits
- Drivers wanting better transmissions
Design Considerations:
- New transmission parts for super durability
- High pressure for tight-grip, no-slug performance shifting
- High-flow transmission fluid lube circuit that beats heavy-duty heat
- Density increase in clutch pack for no slippage
- Ability to boost the charge circuit to handle higher torque towing loads
- High-throttle power retainment
After improving the pressure, Certified Transmission add more clutch plates to the clutch packs. This is a great unit when you are looking for more than what the Ford, Dodge, or Chevrolet factories offer.
Road Ripper 1000 Specifics:
- Valve body modifications improve the shifts of the transmission and the “apply & release” of the torque converter clutch.
- Pressure adjustments improve the lube circuit feeding all bushings, washers and geartrain in the transmission to keep them lubricated.
- Increased pressure improves the torque converter charge circuit which ensures that the torque converter stays fully charged with fluid. Vehicles will not lose power during heavy demands or from a wide-open throttle.
- Sprags and rollers are replaced for better holding capacity.
- The pump and pressure regulator are addressed for high flow and good control to ensure that the right amount of transmission fluid gets to everything.
- All transmission bands and clutches are new. Depending on the applications, Certified Transmission uses quality Raybestos® or BorgWarner® brands.
- Increased clutch packs by as much as 20 percent for more holding power.

The Road Ripper 2000 is a beefed-up performance transmission that really meets the mark of hard-working Ford, Dodge, and Chevrolet trucks needing way more than what factory transmissions offer. Certified Transmission begins by really increasing the pressure in the transmission. This gives firmer application for all the high-energy installed clutches and bands, like red, blue or even Raybestos® Z-Pak™ clutches and Pro Series™ bands (depending on what the vehicle will be used for). Then Certified Transmission addresses the servos and accumulators to match up with desired shifting preferences. Adding to durability, our technicians replace all rollers and sprags with the maximum-level available element. Then Certified Transmission addresses the converter to handle the higher load and improve its durability and efficiency. The Road Ripper 2000 is a very tough, hard-working diesel truck transmission.

Road Ripper 3000™ is for the serious full-time racer and for the reprogrammed, stump-pulling, overloaded vehicle. This is a beefed-up performance truck transmission that can handle the extra horsepower and torque with a geartrain built to the highest capacity available. Hardened shafts, where available, are used to take on those extreme-working vehicles that like to break things. In this unit, we increase the pressures more in the transmission. We use high-energy clutches and bands like red, blue or even Raybestos® Z-Pak™ clutches and Pro Series™ bands. Certified Transmission addresses servos and accumulators in this transmission to match up with desired shift preferences. Our technicians replace all rollers and sprags with the maximum element available and increase the sump capacity for additional cooling. Converters are custom-built to handle all of a vehicle's applications. (Converters with a higher stall rate are available at an additional cost.) This is a very tough, very hard-working truck transmission.
