“I purchased a full transmission conversion kit for my 1955 chevy. Tremec 5 speed trans, bell housing, clutch, and a hydraulic clutch conversion. It all fit as planned and they were very helpful. I called with a lot of questions and they took their time and made sure I was installing it properly.”

“They built me a custom clutch. Works great.They have the experience to get you the right parts the first time. And they are probably the most knowledgeable company for a custom or regular build .Great American experience.”
“Thank you for taking the time to provide this review. We build clutches in house to provide the right clutch for the job. Feel free to contact us for your future needs”
“They set me up with everything I need to install my 5 speed in my 63 Falcon. They best thing was the service they provided when I had a question. When I had a problem I was able to message an employee who responded back on his day off. If I ever install another overdrive transmission in another car they will the first place I contact. The only reason for 4 stars was they set the wrong alignment tool and the speedometer cable was made wrong, the shaft that went into the speedometer was to long (so technically not their fault but they did provide it).”

“John, thank you for your honest review. You are correct the speedometer cable was not the normal model number, somehow 63 inch cable was sent when a 59″ is what is used. We did get that corrected for you in a timely matter. Not sure about the alignment tool issue as it normally comes with the clutch set as part of the BOM. Thanks for making it Modern.”
“Always good to know your not forgotten.”
I had a really good experience with MDL. Was very happy with the products, technical advise and service I got from them.
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 doesnt 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.

“My 16-year-old son and I started October 1 last year. it’s his daily driver for school and work till snow, 302 5 speed – had everything off except cab. POR on all frames etc. Plenty of sound deadener which made a big difference. The bed is tongue n grove Tigerwood. Talented friend Hitch pin-striped Bob Swarm paint. Getting inner door panels soon to match the seat.
Thanks to the group for input and a place to answer questions.
Hope you dig it.”
One of our customers who purchased a complete TKO 5-speed upgrade package for his 1969 Mustang pushing 500hp was compelled to call and to extend his compliments to us.
