The factory-installed MT-82 employs a semi-remote shifter attached to the transmission tunnel tied to the transmission via a shifter rail that, at best, delivers sloppy shift performance with the luster of a broomstick in a barrel.

This is the electronic speedometer calibrator, which goes in between the transmission harness and the vehicle speed sensor of the T-56. This calibrator changes the signal from a two-wire to a three-wire sensor increasing the pulse signal to match that of the original MT-82, which is pre-set by Modern Driveline. All you have to do is install the sensor.<\/strong> <\/span>\u00a0<\/em>&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-44520\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/mm5\/graphics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/MD-SUPER-35-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"223\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/mm5\/graphics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_1185-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"168\" height=\"224\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44530\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/mm5\/graphics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/GEN05-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"335\" height=\"223\" \/><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>30 <\/strong><\/span><em><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Bruce Couture of Modern Driveline and Kevin Stutler of Prestolite take a test drive in the Prestolite 2011 Mustang GT.
