Materials
Starting out with a 6061-T6 billet chunk of aluminum that weighs in at 95 lbs. This creates the framework for the TorqueBox’s ability to handle 250Ft/lbs of torque.
Shift Drum
All TorqueBox are fitted with N1 shift drums. Along with N1 these racing transmissions are fitted with ignition kill shift drums. This makes for clutchless, wide open throttle shifts down the 1/4 mile and stop light to stop light!
Frictionless Detent System
A 3/8” primary ball bearing is cradled by, and rolls on, 50 secondary micro ball bearings. In turn, the cradle is part of a plunger that actuates during shifting and is guided by a tertiary linear micro ball bearing system.
Shift System
The TorqueBox uses a two rail fork system. This makes it possible to increase the width of the fork to provide more support and smoother shifts. The shifter pawl design makes shifts short and crisp. This system delivers a lever ratio that is 35% less than stock.
Clutch Actuator
Left side drive unit is equipped with a 1.5″ bore hydraulic slave cylinder. This provides easy holding (depending on clutch) at the drag tree before you go into clutchless ignition kill shifts.

Recommended Fluid / Level
Picking the right transmission fluid ensures the life and durability of your transmission, that’s why BAKER recommends a fully synthetic GL-5 rated gear weight oil of 75W-140. If a GL-5 rated gear lube is not available, these commonly carried viscosities (weights) will work 75W-90, 75W-140 and 85W-140. BAKER does not recommend the use of Syn3 (20W-50).

Baker Drivetrain TorqueBox 6-Speed, Left Side Drive (TB6). It is torque and not horsepower that destroys clutches, transmissions, and drive belts. The torque capacity of a transmission is proportional to the gear width and the center distance between the two shafts. All stock Harley transmissions and aftermarket transmissions have a center distance of 2.5″. By increasing the center distance 20% to 3.0″, the Torquebox conservatively increases the torque capacity to 250 ft-lbs, continuous duty! All frame, starter, and clutch interfaces are identical to stock 1990-1999 models.
