“In the process of converting my 65 Mustang currently with 3-speed to T-5. Have been struggling with an unforgiving (stiff) clutch for many years. An issue a T-5 swap presents an opportunity to address as well.
Over the years I have learned that Modern Driveline (MDL) specializes in T-5 conversions. I have also called Bruce on several occasions in the past, with clutch problem questions, and he was very helpful. That experience led me to MDL after deciding on the T-5 conversion. Bruce took a real interest and spent a good amount of time to understand my clutch issue, and has suggested a targeted fix to address the problem. My assessment is that Bruce has more expertise in this area of clutches and T-5 conversions than anyone I have ever spoken to previously. Bruce and MDL are not just interested in selling parts. They want to help you solve problems, and have the know-how to point you in the right direction. I also know they will be there with any questions during the install.
Going with MDL for their service, and well thought out conversion parts is the optimal way to go.”

It’s obvious that they actually wrench on their own projects, and have solutions to any questions I’ve asked.
Very impressive company, and now our go-to for driveline solutions on our projects.”
Thank you very much for your open review. Many of us, own and drive what we sell. It is important to us to have a deep understanding of what we sell to provide the right parts for the job and support is well. Thanks again. Bruce
Everything came in very fast. This came with EVERYTHING I NEEDED!! It even came with the fluid!!
During my installation I had questions… I had to give in and call MDL. Bruce answers again. Not only was he super cool but he had no problems taking time to walk me through everything. My T5 is installed and I took my first test drive yesterday. THANK YOU SO MUCH. You guys are amazing.”
“You are very welcome. I try to stay engaged with our customers and not just someone that can not be reached within our company. Glad to hear everything went well and that you are now enjoying your new five speed. Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with”. – Bruce

Thanks Ben for your review.
“Just wanted to reach out and say thank you very much for the quality kit you got us for the ’69 428 Mach1, the TKO 600 with your kevlar clutch and updated clutch linkage package worked fantastically!
The client said, ” This car is so much more driveable, my wife and kids will be able to drive it now!”
“Thanks again for great products, and from all of us at Foose Design hope you and the team have a safe and great holiday!”

“Here at Coybilt, We have been doing business with bruce before he even moved to his new Idaho location. This is circa 2005-06 when he was in San Jose, Ca. Over the years we have watched his business grow as well as ours. In the past 5 years alone we have purchased over 20k worth of transmissions, bell housings, clutches, throw-out bearings, etc. I have had numerous conversations with Bruce and Paul and both have been very helpful with some of the oddball projects we have built over the years. They have also saved us money by not trying to sell us Tremec transmissions but rather a legend 5 speed. This way we didn’t have to cut a customer’s transmission tunnel on a 1967 GTO. All in all, they have been very helpful even with projects that don’t include manual transmissions like one of our current oddball projects a 1999 GMC pick with a blown 408 stroker, 14lbs of boost, and a 4l80e, We asked for a drive shaft and they helped deliver something that would live through 800 plus horsepower and 6000lbs of vehicle weight. The man knows his stuff and has always provided us with what we need to get the job done right.”

“I just placed an order for a Tremec T5 manual transmission for my 1972 Mustang with a 351 Cleveland engine. Bruce, the owner, walked me through the whole process and answered all my questions (BTW- I had a ton of questions). he helped navigate the process because I had no experience with transmission conversions. Bruce provided a lot of insight and was very patient with me, even though I had him on the phone for a very long time. aside from the professional advice and service, I think the most laudable attribute was his patience dealing with someone who doesn’t know or understand the complexities of the stuff that he has to deal with every day. I should be getting my transmission in a week. I’ll follow-up with a subsequent review or an addendum to this, describing the experience of receiving it and installing it. until then, great customer service guys. thank you.”

“Awesome customer service! It’s not often you deal with a company with this level of quality people from sales and tech support!
Paul and David have been great to deal with!
Met Bruce at the Good Guys show, he answered all my questions with honesty not just trying to sell me parts.
Thanks guys!”
