In the transmission industry, availability matters just as much as quality.
When a rebuilder needs a specific component to complete a job, delays can quickly ripple through the supply chain. Distributors know this better than anyone. The right inventory helps keep projects moving, customers satisfied, and gets vehicles back on the road.
That is why new product releases are worth paying attention to.
This month, GFX is expanding its transmission parts lineup with several new Allison and Ford components designed to support popular transmission applications across commercial, fleet, and light-duty markets. These additions include hard parts for Allison MD3060 series transmissions and new solutions for Ford’s widely used 6F35 and 10R140 units.
If your company supplies transmission rebuilders, transmission shops, remanufacturers, or warehouse distributors, staying current with new product availability can help you better serve your customer base. It can also help reduce sourcing challenges when hard-to-find components are needed for a rebuild.
Our team closely follows trends in the transmission aftermarket and understands what distributors need most. The latest releases focus on applications that continue to see strong demand across North America. From commercial Allison transmissions found in buses and work trucks to Ford transmissions used in everyday vehicles and heavy-duty pickups, these products help address ongoing repair and rebuild requirements.
GFX #29501543 ALLISON MAIN SHAFT
GFX #: 29501543
Application: Allison MD3060 Series / B400 / T200
Make: Allison
Years: 1995-Up
OEM #: 29501543
The new GFX #29501543 Allison Main Shaft gives distributors access to a replacement component for MD3060, B400, and T200 transmission applications.
For transmission rebuilders, replacing worn hard parts is often necessary to ensure a complete and reliable rebuild. While friction materials and seals receive significant attention during service, hard parts can be equally important to transmission longevity.
Commercial fleet operators frequently keep vehicles in service for extended periods. As a result, demand for Allison transmission replacement parts continues to remain strong. Components such as the 29501543 main shaft help support rebuild programs aimed at extending transmission life rather than replacing the entire unit.
Adding coverage for popular Allison applications allows distributors to better support customers who specialize in fleet maintenance, commercial transmission rebuilding, and remanufacturing operations.
GFX #29514804 ALLISON BACKING PLATE, TC LOCK UP
GFX #: 29514804
Application: Allison MD3060 Series / B400 / T200
Make: Allison
Years: 1995-Up
OEM #: 29514804
Torque converter performance can have a major impact on transmission operation.
Modern lockup systems are designed to improve efficiency by creating a more direct connection between the engine and transmission when operating conditions allow. This reduces slippage and helps improve overall performance.
The backing plate serves as an important component within the torque converter lockup assembly. During transmission service, damaged or worn components within the lockup system can affect performance and contribute to operational issues.
The Allison market remains active because of the large number of vehicles still operating with these transmissions. Fleet operators often choose rebuilding as a cost-effective alternative to complete replacement. That means consistent demand for quality replacement components continues throughout the aftermarket.
GFX #29516484 ALLISON GROUND SLEEVE, NON PTO-STYLE
GFX #: 29516484
Application: Allison MD3060 Series / B400 / T200
Make: Allison
Years: 1995-Up
OEM #: 29516484
As transmissions age, rebuilders often encounter wear throughout multiple internal systems. Having replacement components readily available allows technicians to address those issues during the rebuild rather than reusing questionable parts.
For distributors, expanding inventory depth within a transmission family creates additional value for customers. Instead of supplying only major components, offering supporting hard parts helps create a more complete product solution.
The Allison MD3060 family has earned a reputation for durability. Many units remain in operation after years of commercial service. That longevity drives ongoing demand for replacement components capable of supporting rebuild and remanufacturing efforts.
The release of GFX #29516484 helps distributors meet that demand while providing rebuilders with another important solution for Allison transmission service work.
GFX #312881 PISTON KIT 6F35
GFX #: 312881
Application: Piston Kit 6F35, Ford (5 Pieces), 6-Speed
Make: Ford
Years: 2016-Up
OEM #: N/A
The Ford 6F35 transmission has become one of the most common six-speed automatic transmissions in the North American market.
Used across a wide range of Ford vehicles, the 6F35 continues to generate significant aftermarket demand due to its widespread vehicle population. As these vehicles accumulate mileage, rebuild activity naturally increases.
That makes the release of the new 312881 piston kit especially relevant for distributors serving the Ford transmission market.
The 312881 piston kit includes five pistons designed for 6F35 transmission applications from 2016 and newer. During a rebuild, pistons play a critical role in clutch apply functions. Proper hydraulic operation depends on components throughout the system working together effectively.
When rebuilders service a 6F35 transmission, replacing worn internal components can help support consistent performance throughout the rebuilt unit. Having a dedicated piston kit available simplifies sourcing and inventory management.
Demand for 6F35 transmission parts remains strong because these transmissions are found in many high-volume vehicle applications. Distributors who stock essential rebuild components can position themselves to better serve transmission shops and remanufacturers throughout their network.
As the vehicle population continues to age, products such as the 312881 piston kit become increasingly valuable additions to aftermarket inventory programs.
GFX #334868 OIL PAN 10R140
GFX #: 334868
Application: Oil Pan, 10R140
Make: Ford
Years: 2020-Up
OEM #: PC3Z-7A194-A
Ford’s 10R140 transmission was developed for heavy-duty truck applications where durability and performance are essential.
Used in newer Super Duty platforms, the 10R140 has become an important transmission in the marketplace. As vehicle populations increase, so does the need for replacement service components.
The new 334868 oil pan expands GFX coverage for this growing transmission family.
Transmission oil pans do more than simply hold fluid. They help protect internal systems while supporting proper fluid management throughout the transmission. Damage caused by road debris, corrosion, impact, or service-related issues can create the need for replacement.
The 334868 oil pan is designed for 10R140 applications from 2020 and newer and crosses to OEM number PC3Z-7A194-A.
For distributors, coverage of newer transmission platforms is increasingly important. Vehicle owners are keeping trucks longer, and repair activity continues to grow as these vehicles accumulate mileage. Having replacement components available early in a transmission’s lifecycle helps support future demand.
The 10R140 market is expected to remain active for years to come due to the popularity of Ford heavy-duty trucks. Stocking components such as the 334868 oil pan allows distributors to support customers working on these applications today while preparing for increasing service needs in the future.
