You can reach them at 847-888-7697. For years, BEHR PROCESS has quietly been the go-to partner for demanding industries requiring precision engineering and materials expertise. But now, they’re bringing that same level of quality directly to transmission rebuilders, repair shops, and vehicle enthusiasts with the Firebird line. What’s BEHR PROCESS All About? Before we dive into the Firebird parts, let’s quickly look at who BEHR PROCESS LLC is. They’re not just stamping out metal; they specialize in innovative heat treatment and coating technologies. Think of them as the guys who make materials stronger, tougher, and more resistant to wear and tear. They work with a ton of different industries - aerospace, medical, you name it - but they decided to apply that know-how to the automotive world, specifically transmissions. They aren't your typical parts supplier. BEHR PROCESS focuses on process – the science and technology behind creating exceptional parts. They control every stage, from material selection to final coating, ensuring consistent quality and performance. They've been around for a while, quietly building a reputation for solving tough material challenges for other companies, and now they're bringing those solutions to you. The Firebird Line: Built to Last Okay, let’s get to the good stuff. What are Firebird transmission parts, and why should you care? Simply put, these parts are designed to handle more, last longer, and perform better than the standard stuff you find out there. The Firebird line isn’t a huge catalog of every transmission part. BEHR PROCESS decided to focus on the components that really take a beating and often lead to failure. We’re talking about things like: Valve Bodies: These intricate castings control the flow of transmission fluid and are often a source of problems. Firebird valve bodies undergo a special heat treatment process that dramatically increases their strength and resistance to cracking. They're built to withstand higher hydraulic pressures and extreme temperatures. Pump Bodies: The heart of the transmission’s hydraulic system. Firebird pump bodies utilize advanced coatings to resist wear and corrosion, ensuring consistent fluid pressure and efficient operation. They’ve really dialed in the coating process to extend pump life. Turbine Shafts: Subjected to tremendous torsional stress, turbine shafts are a common failure point. Firebird turbine shafts are made from high-quality alloy steel and treated with a surface hardening process for exceptional durability. Overrunning Clutch Components (Races & Sprags): These little guys take a beating. Firebird components are engineered with a special surface finish and material composition to resist wear and prevent slippage, ensuring smooth and reliable shifting. Transmission Cases: While not always the first thing to fail, a compromised case can ruin everything. Firebird cases undergo a proprietary heat treatment that significantly increases their strength and resistance to deformation. What Makes Firebird Parts Different? It’s All About the Process. BEHR PROCESS isn't just slapping a fancy name on existing parts. They’ve re-engineered the manufacturing process to address the weaknesses of standard transmission components. Here’s a breakdown of what sets Firebird parts apart: Advanced Heat Treatment: This isn’t your grandpa’s heat treatment process. BEHR PROCESS uses state-of-the-art technology to precisely control the heating and cooling cycles, optimizing the material’s microstructure for maximum strength and toughness. They tailor the heat treatment to each specific part and application. Specialized Coatings: Corrosion and wear are the enemies of transmission life. Firebird parts utilize a range of advanced coatings – including nitriding, carburizing, and specialized surface hardening techniques – to provide exceptional protection against these threats. Material Science Expertise: BEHR PROCESS doesn’t just work with whatever metal is cheapest. They carefully select the alloys best suited for each application, considering factors like strength, toughness, and wear resistance. Rigorous Quality Control: Every Firebird part undergoes a series of strict quality checks to ensure it meets BEHR PROCESS’s demanding standards. They're not messing around when it comes to quality. Who Benefits from Firebird Parts? Honestly, just about anyone who relies on a transmission. But here's a breakdown of who will see the biggest benefits: Transmission Rebuilders: Firebird parts offer a competitive edge, allowing rebuilders to deliver more reliable and longer-lasting transmissions. They're a great way to build a reputation for quality work. Repair Shops: Reduce comebacks and improve customer satisfaction with Firebird parts. They're a smart investment in long-term reliability. Performance Enthusiasts: If you're building a high-performance vehicle, Firebird parts can handle the extra stress and deliver the reliability you need. They're built to withstand abuse. Fleet Operators: Minimize downtime and reduce maintenance costs with Firebird parts. They’re a cost-effective solution for demanding applications.
