Winters Performance Products
Winters Performance traces its roots to the 1950s, when Air Force veteran Vaughn Winter Sr. began building transmissions before opening Winters Transmission with his wife in York, Pennsylvania. Today, Winters Performance products include quick-change rear ends, transmissions, gears, axles, hubs, and related driveline components used in circle-track, Sprint, NASCAR, street, and performance applications. Behrent’s Performance Warehouse carries Winters Performance driveline components for complete race-car builds, repairs, maintenance, and gearing changes, including complete assemblies and individual service parts needed to keep race cars in competition.

Winters Quick-Change Rear Ends
A Winters quick-change rear end is a racing differential assembly that allows teams to change final-drive gearing by swapping an accessible pair of quick-change gears. This lets racers adjust the overall ratio for different tracks, tire sizes, engine combinations, or conditions without replacing the complete ring-and-pinion assembly. Winters offers complete quick-change assemblies plus housings, differentials, spools, covers, bearings, seals, and other service components for maintaining or rebuilding compatible rear ends.
Winters Quick-Change Gears and Gear Charts
Winters quick-change gears are used as a matched pair, with the tooth-count combination determining the quick-change ratio. Select gears by matching the rear-end model and series, gear design and diameter, spline count, and required final-drive ratio. A Winters gear chart shows how compatible gear combinations work with the rear end’s base ring-and-pinion ratio to produce the final gearing. Use the chart for your exact Winters rear-end series rather than applying one gear chart or ratio recommendation to every quick-change rear end.
Winters Racing Transmissions
Winters transmissions are configured for different racing and driveline applications, with related shifters, shafts, adapters, couplers, yokes, and service components. Choose the transmission by racing application, vehicle configuration, input and output requirements, and whether the car uses an open-drive or torque-tube setup. The Winters Falcon family includes purpose-built transmissions for application-specific configurations. Match the exact Falcon model and specifications to the race car and surrounding driveline components.
How to Choose Compatible Winters Performance Products
Start with the exact Winters product family, model, or existing part number whenever possible. For a quick-change rear end, verify the series, dimensions, mounting configuration, gearing requirements, and race-car application.
| Component | What to verify before ordering | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Quick-change rear end | Rear-end series, dimensions, and mounting configuration | Service parts and gears vary by rear-end family |
| Quick-change gears | Rear-end series, gear design, spline count, and tooth count | Similar-looking gears may not be interchangeable |
| Transmission | Transmission series and driveline configuration | Input, output, and mounting requirements must match the race car |
| Axles and shafts | Length, spline count, and bearing dimensions | Axles must match the mating hub and driveline components |
| Hubs | Hub style, wheel pattern, bearings, and brake configuration | Hub fitment depends on the complete wheel-end assembly |
| Replacement parts | Existing part number, product series, and component dimensions | Seals, bearings, shafts, and hardware can vary by product family |
To identify an existing Winters rear end or transmission, check for an identification tag, stamped number, casting number, existing part number, or original documentation. When matching Winters Performance axles, hubs, and related components, verify the spline count, axle length, bearing dimensions, hub style, wheel pattern, and brake configuration.
Frequently Asked Questions About Winters Performance Products
Are replacement and rebuild parts available for older Winters rear ends and transmissions?
Yes. Behrent’s carries gears, seals, bearings, shafts, housings, and other replacement and rebuild components for many Winters assemblies. Availability and compatibility depend on the specific product family and model.
What fluid should you use in a Winters quick-change rear end?
Use the lubricant specified for your exact Winters rear-end model and configuration. Fluid type and capacity can vary between assemblies, so follow the Winters documentation for your specific rear end rather than using a universal gear-oil recommendation.
Can all Winters quick-change gears fit every Winters rear end?
No. Winters quick-change gears must match the rear-end series, gear size and design, and spline configuration. Similar-looking gear sets aren’t necessarily interchangeable.
Do you need to replace quick-change gears as a pair?
Quick-change gears work together as a matched ratio combination. Select and install the gear pair according to the approved gear chart and instructions for your specific Winters rear-end model.
