“Initial call for a TKX conversion went quite well, seemed very professional. there was a confusion as to which LS engine we were using, but that was resolved. Then owner got a call about back ordered bellhousing. I called and was informed the bellhousing in the kit was backordered, and I should try to find one elsewhere. They wanted to ship everything else but bellhousing. I asked them to hold order AS IS until I found a bellhousing, or they got them in. took a few weeks, but I found, bought and had delivered a bellhousing that I was told I needed, by part number. Called and asked them to go ahead with order minus bellhousing. Got an email from them with invoice. did not look at it for two weeks when i was wondering where my kit was, and find the invoice is marked CLOSED! Called and was told it was closed because it was not completed in 30 days of initial order date. I was waiting on THEIR parts…”

“Steve helped me get everything straightened out. Trans kit shipped and delivered quickly. The day trans arrived, I went to bolt bellhousing up, and IT DOESN’T FIT!!! Called again. had to send pics. Finally they figured out that they had put the incorrect bellhousing part number was on the original MDL original order. So there I sat, with a $900 bellhousing that i was told to buy, and it is incorrect. MDL said there was nothing they would do because I didn’t buy it from them. Said a message to the owner would be forwarded and he may reach out to me. Nothing. Their unorganization cost me $900, and weeks of waiting. And I am sure there will be a reply to a 2 star review, but you at MDL have had 2 months to reach out to me. You have my contact info, but I doubt you will call.”

“EDIT: GOT A CALL FROM BRUCE, THE OWNER. HE WANTED TO HELP WITH ACQUISITION OF , OR EXCHANGE OF BELL HOUSING. UNFORTUNATELY I AM ON THE SAME BACKORDER LIST AS HE IS. VERY NICE CONVERSATION. I HATED TO LEAVE THE INITIAL 2 STAR REVIEW, BUT BUSINESS OWNER TO BUSINESS OWNER, I FELT OBLIGATED, SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL KEEP THIS SITUATION FROM REOCCURRING.
I WILL USE THEM AGAIN THE NEXT TIME I NEED A TREMEC TRANS.”

Travis and I have talked about the incorrect bellhousing model recommendation that was made. We have had a good conversation about the project and he is back on straight and narrow. The bellhousing that was purchased from another seller on eBay will be used for another project.
An offer was extended to do a swap to get the right bellhousing to finish the project. Normally we stock lots of bellhousings, but there has been a shortage of QuickTime bellhousing which has delayed completely shipping orders out in a timely manner. Travis, thank you for your understanding, and have an adult conversation about what happened.
We look forward to a new opportunity to do business with you in the future.
Regards, Bruce
GOT A CALL FROM BRUCE, THE OWNER. HE WANTED TO HELP
“Very professional and responsive. I worked with Shane and he put together a Tremec transmission package that is perfect for my ‘55 Chevy. The pricing was very competitive and the setup comes with an extended warranty. The best part is that I know that they are there to help with tech support in case I run into any questions during the installation.
I highly recommend these guys.”

Frank, thank you for your review. Most of us that are good and live busy lifestyles don’t take the time to do so. I will let Shane know you dropped us a note.

Regards, Bruce

I highly recommend these guys
“I had been thinking about doing a five-speed swap on my 66 mustang with a straight six for a while. When I finally decided to pull the trigger it was beyond easy despite having a bit of an uncommon application. After a few phone calls with Shane at MDL I had a custom quote that I was able to talk through piece by piece to help ensure nothing went overlooked.
Everyone was patient and I placed my order which arrived 3 days early. I will echo what others have said and confirm that this place is the one-stop-shop for upgrading your classic’s transmission.”

“Steven, thank you for your review. Our goal is to provide a highly detailed quote and discuss every part of the quote so that you can customize the package to your needs and provide information to make an informed discussion. Regards…”

“I was coming up empty trying to find a bellhousing for a very specific application. Paul knew exactly what I needed, but it wasn’t something he kept in stock. He gave me the part number I needed anyway. These guys are the best!”

 

Chris B.

These guys are the best!

“These guys did nothing but help me, and kept helping me as the plans for my project car kept changing. Bret worked out everything I needed, every little detail, and walked me through it all. Really helpful and I’m glad I used them.”

 

Will H.

Really helpful and I’m glad I went with Modern DriveLine.”

“I don’t often leave reviews but I have to say, Modern Driveline is an AWESOME company. I’m putting a 5 speed into a car that was an automatic and has an uncommon engine combination (for that model year). Alan was very professional, completely on point, and timely with a quote that included everything I needed for a seamless installation. He was great to work with and answered all my questions with a great deal of first-hand knowledge on the subject. These guys are on point and a pleasure to do business with!

Thanks, Alan, and I’ll definitely be using MDL for future builds.”

“Very knowledgeable when it comes to finding what is available to complete my project. Bret was able to get my parts and shipped my way extremely fast. 5 star business for sure”

Michael E.

extremely fast. 5 star business for sure

“Cannot say enough good things about these guys.
Bruce and his crew not only provide great products and advice, but also outstanding tech support and customer service. If you’re in need of a new transmission or are looking to do a swap, these are the guys and gals you want to work with.”

Dave P.

Outstanding tech support and customer service.

“I’m building a restomod ’62 Ranchero.
I bought a T5 kit from MDL. It has a relocated shifter.
This car had a badly rusted floor, so I replaced it with a Dynacorn floor. I’ve also installed an R&C Mustang II front cross member with motor mounts.
Now I’m in the process of mocking in all the parts before paint.
Amazingly, the engine and transmission fit without modification to the firewall or transmission tunnel. This is with three different vendors, and me doing all the measuring & welding. I mean this drivetrain fit like it had been in there before!
Great job and great products!”

 

Mark R.

Great job and great products!

“Was having issues finding the right headers for my 1966 mustang, due to I am using a clutch cable system from MDL and read lots of people having cables melt. Called MDL and spoke with Bruce, he gave me the names of what not to use and what headers would work for my application. He was very helpful.”
“Thanks, Bruce”
