Company History
In 1980, Mr. Fermin Lara started working for Lucas Transmission as an extra helping hand. With a hunger to learn what was going on around, he quickly went from mere helper, to lead differential builder. Unfortunately, Lucas Transmission fell into hard times in the early 1990's. Cuts had to be made, again and again... and again. Eventually the shop was broken up into 3 departments: the automatic transmission department, the standard transmission department, and Mr. Lara's differential department. This opportunity was given in great part by Mr. Gauzi Kitmitto, and Mr. Ricardo Barragan, to whom Fermin is forever grateful. Lara's department was so successful, that he was able to not only purchase the rights of the entire shop, but take ownership of the building itself.

Differentials
Our specialty! Whether you're bringing in your differential to silence a howling noise, or you need to change your gear ratio to compensate for a new tire size, we'll take care of it. And not just for modern vehicles! We also work on getting classics, as far back as 1940's Chevy's, up to par with highway speeds. You also have the option to upgrade to better traction carriers, like posi units, and various locker types.
Transmissions
Is your transmission slipping or making noise or popping out of gear? We've got decades of knowledge to repair the problem. Whether it's a bad main shaft that destroyed the whole assembly, or just a faulty bearing or synchro, we'll only replace the damaged components. The salvageable parts will be subtracted from an already great estimate! In some cases, you can also upgrade your unit to higher performance options.
