Many of the Competition Eliminator cars feature small cubic inch, high-winding engines in lightweight cars similar to what import racers would use. Many of the racers in these classes have had a great deal of success after switching over to a McClay lightweight turbo-200 recording better speeds and elapsed times by just installing the trans and changing little else.

Abe Loewen's Grand-Am set the SS/EM record at 9.42/142.43 in 1999.

The reasons are simple. McClay has completely re-engineered the turbo-200. McClay has in some cases lightened and strengthened existing stock components, and where he couldn't do that he has designed and made new ones. The result is a three-speed OEM type automatic trans that weighs approximately the same as an aftermarket 'glide except with an extra gear.

This is the "shorty" version of the TH-200. McClay's trans can be ordered to accept either a PG, TH-400, or TH-200 converter. He also offers the option of an input shaft made of "Hy-tuff" material. Each McClay tranny has all of the stock bearings replaced with Torrington bearings for reduced friction and increased reliability. The tranny also is available in standard length.
