Bert Gen 2 Short Transmission Kit for 2 Piece Rear Main Seal

he Bert Gen 2 Short Transmission Kit for 2-Piece Rear Main Seal is a complete lightweight racing transmission package designed specifically for Small Block Chevrolet engines equipped with a 2-piece rear main seal. Engineered for dirt track, circle track, and oval racing, this kit combines the proven Bert Gen II Short Transmission with the essential installation components needed to create a dependable, race-ready drivetrain.

The Bert Gen II transmission is recognized throughout the racing industry for its innovative low rotating mass design. In direct drive (high gear), the first and reverse gear assemblies are completely disengaged, allowing more engine power to reach the rear wheels while reducing internal drag and wear. This design delivers quicker throttle response, improved drivetrain efficiency, and outstanding reliability under demanding racing conditions.

Constructed from lightweight, high-strength aluminum, the Bert Gen II Short Transmission is engineered to handle up to 600 lb-ft of torque while maintaining smooth, consistent operation throughout long race events. The included heavy-duty steel bellhousing is compatible with both Small Block Chevrolet (SBC) and Small Block Ford (SBF) engine bolt patterns and adapts to Muncie and Saginaw transmission mounting patterns commonly used in competitive racing.

Designed exclusively for race vehicles, this transmission kit is ideal for IMCA Modifieds, Wissota Modifieds, Midwest Modifieds, Sport Mods, Hobby Stocks, and other circle track classes where lightweight construction and maximum drivetrain efficiency are critical.
