 DISTRIBUTION/RETAIL MARKETS Today, we have six distinct product lines for the professional automotive installer and the do-it-yourselfer: Engine Products, Powertrain Products, Transmission Parts, Engine and Transmission Mounts, Harmonic Balancers and Clutch Kits, covers, and discs. These products go to market through the aftermarket distribution system of leading warehouse-distributors, programmed distribution groups and automotive retailing chains.
Powertrain - Perhaps the fastest growing portion of Pioneer's replacement parts line is
Powertrain components. These include starter ring gears, flywheels
(for automatic and manual transmissions), clutch forks, and clutch
installation tools.
Transmission Parts - We
offer a complete line of automatic transmission service parts
(individual parts and service kits) for domestic and popular import
applications from A to Z (Allison to ZF). Included in the transmission
parts line are: Filter Kits, Gasket Kits, Overhaul Kits, Banner
Kits, Master Kits, Super Kits, paper gaskets, rubber pan gaskets,
rubber o-rings, rubber and metal-clad seals, sealing rings, filters,
friction clutches, steel clutch plates, bands, modulators, bushings
and sprags.
Engine & Transmission Mounts -
Our latest product line! We offer over 925 part numbers for
domestic and import cars and light trucks covering the following
areas: engine (solid and hydraulic), transmission, body/chassis,
torque strut, driveshaft and suspension strut.
With the broadest coverage of these mounts in the
market, we assure you of the right mount for the job, when you
need it! Every time an engine or a transmission is removed and
reinstalled, new Pioneer mounts should be a part of the installation
process.
Harmonic Balancers -
Replacement "harmonic balancers" are quickly becoming a hot item for today's car owners. The reason is "Harmonic Vibrations" which can lead to a
variety of mechanical failures.

Engine - The engine line
parallels the product offerings to the engine remanufacturing
market. For the engine repair shop customer, parts are packed
in boxes, either as individual parts or in kits. For retail environment
and the do-it-yourself customer, products such as expansion plugs
and fasteners are carded and shrink-wrapped for rack or wall display.
A key component to the transmission service parts
line is our Solution3 pan gaskets, with the Bolt-Grabber
feature. The unique Bolt-Grabber design and the Solution3
gasket's remarkable lie-flat memory means the gasket installs
easier and faster than any other trans-pan gasket. The undersized
holes grab and hold the bolts, which means every bolt properly
aligns the gasket for easy installation. The lie-flat memory assures
a proper mating to the transmission's pan flange - no leaks, no
wicking. 
Many failures (to say nothing of deterioration)
of the engine, transmission and even the chassis mounts go undiagnosed
and consequently are not repaired. If these problems aren't addressed,
the results can range from annoying noises to binding and ultimately,
destruction of components.
"Harmonic vibrations" are specific and repeated vibration patterns which pass through an object. In today's cars, such vibrations result from the combustion
of the air-fuel mixture. Each time a cylinder fires, the connecting rod pounds the crankshaft journal as the force turns the crankshaft, causing energy to be dispersed
throughout the engine. Multiply this by the number of cylinders (with variations in engine speed) and you have what is commonly called harmonic vibrations.
