Performance gears are manufactured by U.S. Gear

United States Gear Corporation is a family owned and managed gear and power transmission component manufacturer in Chicago, serving a worldwide customer base. Since 1963 we have expanded to over 200,000 square feet of facilities with more than 250 employees.

U.S. Gear's current products include differential and transmission components, everything from hot rods to heavy duty trucks. Our highly advanced gears can be found in some of the world's fastest race cars.

We supply a wide base of OEM customers, including Meritor (Rockwell), Dana, General Motors, Chrysler and Ford, with a variety of differential and transmission gears. We hold Ford Q-1 quality status, make extensive use of computer inspection equipment, and we are an ISO9001:2000 registered company.
(Information about what ISO9001:2000 is and why it is important is available from the International Organization for Standardization.)

Our subsidiary, Heat Treat Corporation, operates as a commercial heat treater as well as the heat treat department of U.S. Gear. We use computer-controlled furnaces throughout the facility, allowing extremely accurate process control, resulting in certifications of competence from Caterpillar, IBM, Ford, Dana and the aerospace industry.
