“I have a 1964 Ford Falcon 260 V8 manual 3 speed called Modern Driveline spoke with Paul and told him that I wanted to put a 5 speed in my car he set me up with everything that I would need to convert it over. I installed the new Tremec T5 in only 4 hours it was the easiest conversion that I have ever done. I highly recommend these products to anyone who wants to improve gas mileage and performance.”

I highly recommend these products to anyone
“Purchased an entire TKX transmission package block plate back from Modern. Spoke mostly with Paul and Bruce.
They were always helpful in answering my questions and doing so in a patient professional manner.
I have and do recommend Modern for manual transmission conversions and parts.”

“Modern Driveline is an absolutely impeccable company.
I have a 1967 mustang that I recently installed a T5 transmission into it from a donor car. The extent of my mechanical knowledge of vehicles has always been oil changes, brake pads, rotors, and small easy bolt-on applications so this task was a bit intimidating to me at first. I read countless articles and watched many videos before I attempted the swap myself. I called Modern Driveline on multiple occasions to ask questions that may have been obvious, but they never hesitated to walk me through anything I wanted to know. They never made me feel dumb and always supported my project even though I did not purchase the transmission from them.
Some companies won’t even answer a question if the product wasn’t purchased through them. They offered tons of resources and first-hand knowledge to help me not only understand how it works, but what to look for. When I was ready to purchase parts to complete my swap, they gave me everything that I needed and even offer a military discount. I could go on and on with plenty of examples, I cannot recommend this company enough and will continue to support them with my business.”

I cannot recommend this company enough
“I was very happy with your assistance throughout my purchase and installation of the T5. You were helpful and knowledgeable.
I appreciate your patience working with a novice like myself.
I am extremely pleased with the performance of the transmission! The car’s performance is dramatically better. Before, it was a struggle for the car to do more than about 55 mph, making interstate driving nerve-racking. Now, with the 5 speed, it cruises along with traffic at 80 mph and at less than 2400 rpm. What a dramatic improvement!
Thank you again for all your help. Still mulling over the hydraulic clutch for it. Will let you know.”
Thank you,

“For a 1963 Falcon Sprint Convertible with the original 260 V8 I wanted to convert it from the 4 speed T-10 to a 5 speed with overdrive.
After some research, I went with MDL.     I knew the project was going to be expensive, but no more expensive than a similar business east of the Mississippi.

The parts came and there were a couple of parts for different applications.
Alan at MDL corrected the problem and sent the correct parts as well as a shipping label for the return of the incorrect (and unused) parts.

Then we had a problem with the adaptor plate twisting the transmission by about 10 degrees clockwise, which pushed the tailshaft too close to the trans tunnel wall.   Alan brought Paul (also from MDL) into the discussion with my mechanic and they learned a different adaptor plate would be a better fit. They worked out the shipping again.
My mechanic knew the new adaptor plate was going to be thicker, so he had it milled to the same thickness as the previous plate, and it fits perfectly in the car.
The tallshaft has sufficient clearance down the tunnel and the speedo sending unit clears the reinforcement metal that runs under the floorpan.
I also sent MDL photos of the finished installation so they have that information for the next guy with the same type of car who wants to do the same conversion.
Overall I’m very happy with the way MDL in general, and Alan and Paul, in particular, responded to my problems.”

MDL worked with me to get my 5-speed install right.
“I have had a Factory 5 Cobra with a 390 FE motor in which from day one, the clutch appeared to slip because of the high horsepower and clutch configuration issues. Since fuel injecting it has gotten worse. I know the geometry of the clutch is problematic as in the current configuration I have to preload the clutch in order to get the right travel, so I don’t nick gears in between shifts. I talked to Bruce at ‘modern driveline and within minutes Bruce not only knew what the problem he had the solution.
I wanted to thank Modern Driveline and Bruce and spending time with me explaining the problem in detail, and also the recommendations for fixing this problem.”

“I purchased a transmission from Modern Driveline and had an issue with it.
Bruce and his crew Alan and Paul worked with me and took care of the issue. It didn’t happen as fast I would have liked, but what does these days.
The people make a company and these are good people.”

“Great customer service. Worked with them over email, in order to not intrude with my day. Ordering transmission for a customer, so it took a few days to complete the transaction.

Rep (Shane McGoldrick) was extremely helpful and patient with my sporadic communications. He asked all the right questions and provided all the right information to ensure that we received the correct transmission and used it under the right application.

I will definitely use them in the future.

I will let Shane know your thoughts. Thank you for your review.
