  “Bruce,

Once again it was a pleasure talking with you. I have attached photos of the final install to go with the previous photos sent earlier. Sorry about the fuzzy photo of the exact tail housing angle but seriously that was the best I could do. 

BTW, that TKX was well worth the wait! The shifting up and down are smooth and precise, and the reduced throw of it and your ‘qwik stick’ shifter make me want to turn my 67 into a daily driver!

 As far as brake pads go, in my opinion, there is nobody better than CARBOTECH for the development and advice of pads for your needs. I would think that their AX6 pads would be the best for your application. 

 Then about the electric power-assist steering, give Geoff at EPAS a call. He seems to have the best bang for the buck and has served me very well. No one that has a kit of his that I have installed has ever said anything negative or had any kind of problem.  

I hope this helps you as much as you have helped me, “

“I have owned this 1967 Mustang since 1977 when I was 18 years old.
I have done almost all the work on it myself, screwing up and teaching myself how to fix my mistakes.
I actively open track my car at Laguna Seca, Sears Point, and Thunder Hill.”

This install was fairly straightforward being that the TKO600 that I was replacing with the TKX are very similar in their mounting position and external hookups.

While I had the transmission and throwout bearing out I also removed the clutch and flywheel to do a thorough inspection.
I reset the hydraulic throwout bearing depth and cleaned up everything.

With the transmission on a tranny jack I simply moved the TKX up into position to bolt up. With the hydraulic hoses through the bellhousing,  it was just a matter of guiding the input shaft into the clutch disc and pilot bearing. I was careful to make sure there was no binding as I drew the transmission to the bellhousing using the mounting bolts. Then I pushed the back of the transmission with the shifter into the hole in the floor.

Next, I installed the crossmember and mount and all the bolts and nuts. Then going through to make sure all the bolts were tight, that part was done.
Moving on to installing the driveshaft, speedo cable, and reverse lights pigtail. With all that now finished the only thing left to do was to fill the transmission up with the Amsoil fluid. All in all, it was not a difficult job at all if you have the right tools and equipment.

 

Thanks Modern DriveLine for everything you do for me.”

This is a follow-up review to another review I did about a month ago about my new Tremec TKX transmission.
After the required 500 mile break-in period I put my 1967 Mustang on track at Thunderhill Raceway. I drive my car to all events and open track it and then home. This transmission was everything I had hoped it would be! The shifting was so smooth, both upshifts and downshifts. The track can be a brutal place for all the parts on a car, brakes, engine, transmission, and driver. I really didn’t even think about the transmission because it was so effortless, so along with so many of the parts that I have dialed in, the TKX is yet one more key element of my car that has been dialed in.
   Many fun miles ahead for me, thanks, Bruce and Crew!

“I had an issue with the cross member not being quite right, and even though the kit had been installed a little over a year ago.
Bruce was able to work with me via a series of emails in determining that the cross member (from a supplier to MDL) was not correct for my application, having been misrepresented by the cross member supplier.
Bruce sent me a replacement from a different supplier directly, which solved all of my issues, instead of leaving me to deal with the supplier.
MDL stands behind their kits and takes corrective actions to continually improve their products.
I definitely will work with them on my next project!”

“The Transmission is IN the Shelby!!!
Today I finally installed the Tremec 5 speed that I rebuilt! Slow and steady wins the race! It took an hour to get it installed carefully into the car and 4 hours of prep work to make that happen. The hydraulic clutch had to be measured very carefully to ensure the dimensions are correct. After getting everything set and installed, it fits right in place as it should!
Modern driveline has done an awesome job with their tech service, I would call them about any questions I had and they were always happy to help. I’ll definitely be using them in the future!”

“Not only were they fantastic when I bought the kit 5 years ago, but they were INCREDIBLY helpful when I had to get it repaired because of a bad install. Walked me through the whole process. Amazing!”

“Building an American Speed 33' Ford, Working with Bruce and the entire team at Modern Drive Live has been nothing but exceptional. The depth of knowledge that they provide is invaluable for the customer (me) to make the right choice in purchasing the correct parts. This ensures an easy installation and the parts fit, eliminating the cost for return parts and lost time and effort.

I highly recommend Modern Drive Line for all your transmission assemblies, clutches & amp; Pressure plates, and hydraulic throughout bearings for your needs.”

“Bruce and James provided outstanding customer service. Bruce suggested I send him a picture of the transmission so he could recommend the correct harness.
This type of concern went far above the two other companies I contacted. Well done Modern Driveline.
Definite thumbs up!
Thank you”

“I would highly recommend the team at Modern Driveline!  From the first time I talked to them they have been nothing but friendly, understanding my needs,  and very helpful!  A shout out to Brett from the tech department for his assistance on my project.   Thanks again Modern Driveline!”

“I would highly recommend the team at Modern Driveline, especially Bruce for taking the time to help me in converting my 1963 Ford Galaxie XL with a 390 4-speed and console to keep the original appearance.
Bruce set me up with a Tremec 5-speed package with the right ratio for my set-up even down to the speedometer cable.
My experience with everyone at M.D. was very satisfactory and professional. Everything I needed came in one package. Thanks.”

I have been in the process of having my T-5 rebuilt locally, and Paul Coffey has been great in guiding me through several glitches that have come up and most importantly identifying the fact that my unit needed a shorter input shaft to work with my bell housing and the spacer I will need to complete the conversion into my 65 Mustang.  His expertise has been critical to getting it right, and his attention to detail and service is first-rate.  I know that I am in good hands with Modern Driveline.  If you are planning a T-5 conversion there is only one way to go.  The “Modern Driveline” way.
