It all started with the purchase of a 2021 Supra and the development of a custom 8HP51 build, driven by the high cost of existing options.

With experience working on the 8HP series transmission since 2012 and over 20 years in professional transmission building, I jumped in and began planning my build. Thankfully, it worked out perfectly in my Supra. Word spread around the Dallas area, and I found myself helping local Supra enthusiasts with a more affordable solution. Encouraged by friends, I created an Instagram page to share what I was doing.

Fast forward to 2024, and I am now the owner and sole employee of Applied Torque Solutions. I personally build every transmission that comes through my shop. I’ve been fortunate to have the support of amazing people along the way, and I couldn't have reached this point without them. The encouragement from my loving wife and family keeps me motivated every day.

Transmission design and building is my true passion. Seeing others unlock the full potential of my creations is incredibly rewarding. This support pushes me to continue developing top-tier transmissions at competitive prices.
