Chapter 1: The Beginning

Located centrally in Southeast Missouri and like many companies we started out from a need. Chris Behnken ,Owner of R'venge Transmissions purchased a 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo after owning a non turbo for several years. The newfound power and grip of the AWD R/T Turbo naturally led to a desire to modify and tune the car and then led to the local dragstrip.

It was not long before some basic modifications and practice led to consistent low 8s in the 1/8th mile. Not long after one of the big weakness of the 3/S AWD drivetrains reared its head and the car developed a hard 2nd Gear grind.

The need came because there were just not a lot of transmission shops willing to open up a 3/S Getrag and Chris has always been someone deeply interested in the inner workings of things.

Opening the transmission revealed the worst issue was the outer synchro ring was stripped of its teeth and the 2nd biggest weakpoint of the early 3/S AWD transmissions revealed itself in a cracked 18 Spline output shaft that was one good launch away from sheering off.

The 2nd gear parts were replaced with new synchronizers and the output shaft was upgraded to a 300M unit and the car was back on the road, and back at the strip!

Later a 1995 R/T Turbo with another common failure, a broken 1-2 shift fork was purchased and another transmission was rebuild. Over time people with similar problems on 3/S related chat groups and forums expressed interest in Chris rebuilding their transmissions and one thing led to another as word of mouth about the quality of the work and attention to detail began to spread.

Rvenge Transmissions was born and it made perfect sense to begin selling driveline parts to help those who wish to tackle rebuilds on their own, but don’t know where to get the parts

Chapter 2: R'venge Performance

Born from the need to get parts for customers at a more affordable price, Chris began the effort of becoming a dealer for various parts manufacturers.  Through an instance of serendipity, consisting of job changes, a pandemic and some additional help, it seemed feasable to begin selling parts for all platforms, not just the Misubishi 3000GT / Dodge Stealth.

In the following years, R'venge Performance added more functionality and began offering around 300,000 performance parts.

R'venge Performance continued offering its rebuild services and expanded its ability to support the 3/S platform. 

R'venge Performance gained the ability to begin offering aftermarket replacement parts along side its catalog of performance parts.  Realizing the new parts may not fit with the current look of rvengeperformance.com, the team decided to rebrand.  Rebranding became essential to accuratly represent the current offerings available. 

Acknowledging the need to change the backend of the website to support the increase of products and to make a more user friendly experience, Parts Legion and partslegion.com were born.
