    “We have done two conversions with Modern Driveline, one on a 68′ Fastback Mustang with a 428FE, and another 66′ Corvette with an Aluminum 427.
    They have been the most technical and helpful of all of the vendors we’ve used for various applications.
    The quality of their machining and parts is outstanding. They always fit and they look fantastic as well.

    Thank you to Paul and Bruce!”

    “Purchased the Tremec T5 for my 65 Mustang. Modern Driveline thought of everything going from a C4 Automatic to a 5-speed. From the transmission, to the clutch pedal, down to the clip that secures the speedometer gear! It was all-inclusive and was not in need of any forgotten or missing parts. The new T-5 provides a whole new driving experience! In addition to the complete kit that was provided, it’s the intangibles that I got from MD that made the installation easier.
    Matthew went out of his way to provide personal photos of his installation (coincidently he had the same car and did a similar changeout), which helped me when I had questions. He searched the web providing a very handy diagram that helped a great deal.

    Thanks again for a great product and service!”

    “Installed this transmission in my 1994 Mustang GT. Went in like butter with all of the stock components, driveshaft, clutch release bearing, clutch, & pilot bearing. MDL also sold me the trans oil and speedo gear I needed to adjust to my 3.73 rear axle gears. The overdrive ratio is a little higher than stock. I am running at about 1,800 rpm at 60 mph compared to 2.200 rpm with the stock trans.
    My Mustang is very comfortable at that lower rpm. This new transmission shifts very nicely and smoothly.
    MDL did a great job with my order. Had the transmission at my door in less than a week. Can’t wait to get it broken in, so I can make some passed down the drag strip.”

    “I’m a novice with transmissions. Working with Bret and Bruce made the whole process simple – they helped me not only with executing on the Tremec 6 speed but also ensuring everything I needed to mate it to my BBC 496 in my 66 Chevelle was discussed, scoped out, and provided. I will not be going anywhere else for my next project, and the next one, and the next one … 🙂

    “I bought an auto-to-manual swap from MDL. Went with the TKX for my 1970 Chevelle big block project. Still slowly installing it at the moment, but I went through there checklist they send with the parts and how to make sure nothing happened to the transmission in shipping. Everything is going smoothly! I talked to Steve a few times now. He’s been a really big help! Thanks, Steve!

    I went with MDL cause they were the quickest to get back to me with a quote. I sent out to 2 other companies. The other companies still send me junk ads months later but never a quote. MDL sent me a quote and updated it when I wanted to change something on the list. This went on for over 2 months. They have been a huge help! I do want to apologize to Steve for all the dumb questions and the ” Oh I forgot to ask about this or that” lol”

    MDL Quoted me right away and have been a huge help

    “I purchased a hydraulic clutch conversion kit to install a T-5 in my 67 Mustang in 2015. The components in the kit were excellent and high quality. We installed it in 2015.
    Twice I had local mechanics decide the clutch needed to engage closer to the top of the pedal travel. Twice the slave cylinder overextended and pushed the slave cylinder piston out as a result.
    Paul, Steve, and Bruce gave us excellent phone support. Bruce reviewed the math behind the dimensions to be held for the master cylinder, and slave cylinder, and even offered some suggestions for a shop to help if we could not solve the situation.
    Don’t forget – this is a system purchased over 8 years ago.
    We followed instructions and reset the dimensions Bruce reviewed with us. Problem solved! And don’t forget – this is a system purchased over 8 years ago.
    Subsequently, I was approached at a local show by a person planning on installing a T-5 in a 69 Mustang. I told them to get the conversion kit from Modern Drivelines and follow the dimensions in the instructions. I’ll give anyone the same recommendation moving forward.”

    “I purchased and installed a T5 transmission into my 1950 Ford F1 with a Flathead motor replacing a Ford 4-speed toploader. The change in performance is incredible! With the 4-speed, I had to constantly deal with clutch chatter, gears not engaging, and high-revving RPMs.
    This T5 completely changed all that… The shifting is almost effortless and the lower RPMs are a game changer.
    Flatheads are known for heating up, especially in hot climates like Central California, and with the 4-speed I was at 2,900 RPM @ 65 MPH on the Highway. Now, I’m cruising at 1,800 RPM and able to have a conversation with my passenger and not worry about my engine overheating.
    If you have a Flathead and are dealing with any of these issues, I would highly recommend the T5 from Modern Driveline.”

    “I purchased a Tremec TKO 5-speed wide-ratio transmission for my 1967 Mustang from Modern Driveline in December 2022. They took their time to answer my questions and put together a quote based on my specific gear ratio and driveline preferences. Every component of the package fits perfectly and is well-designed.

    Tremec had a factory mix at year-end; mixing up a few transmissions in the factory shipping boxes; and when I discovered the error; three months into my winter project

    Bruce had a replacement out of their shop that same day.

    All of my follow-up questions post-sale have been answered, and I will recommend MDL to anyone looking to add performance and value to their classic ride.

    I got the TKX mustang II kit from them. My mustang II is as far from stock as it gets so nothing under the tin is actually mustang II anymore.
    That being said, the kit was outstanding and the customer service was second to none!
    Very little modification necessary even with my fully custom build.

    Howdy All,

    I wanted to drop a quick note to tell you how thoroughly satisfied I am with the recently installed MDL Tremec TKX Package in my 1970 Boss 302 Mustang.  I realize we encountered a few challenges and delays with this project but the final drive-time and aesthetic results are simply fantastic. 

    I could provide additional details on the many ways this install has positively transformed this already great car BUT the focus of this message is intended to be MDL’s wonderful people and products that helped to get this objective across the “finish line.” 

    Thanks much for all you do; keep up the great work!

    MDL was great to deal with. They made sure the correct parts were selected for the application and would work together. They also made sure everything I needed was included, all the way down to the ATF and speedometer clip.
    The most impressive part was finding out that I spoke with the owner when placing my order. I didn’t ask for him, he is simply very involved with the operation and answers the phone and takes orders like the rest of the staff.
    Shipping was fast and the packaging was very well done.

    “Just want to Thank You guys, Paul was right on point when he told me, in the beginning, this setup will fit my factory console with just a little creative tweaking. I ended up cutting a boot I had flipped it over and used it as a lower boot in conjunction with the TKX boot. Then used a top boot and a little edge trim. Not 100% factory correct but it looks clean, neat, and is enough original as it’s a Hurst shifter with a 5-speed ball on top.
    Moderndriveline has truly been a huge help working out this project. Don’t know how I would have completed this project without the outstanding support. I can send more pictures if you want I only took it out of the garage around the block so far and the TKX shifts are awesome. “

    Modern Muscle Z-bar linkage kit, 1967-70 Mustang /Cougar, Small block reviewed by M.W.

    I just bought this, and it was delivered on 7/3/20. Installed it today on the 4th of July (Happy Independence Day!).
    Decided to do a review because I have to say that I am really pleased with it. It is a super high-end piece and will not disappoint you.
    Every piece is overbuilt. I believe this will take the abuse with no problem. My installation is in a 67 Shelby GT 350 (a real one) with 289 HiPo. It has Tri-Y headers. The stock mount locations, and stock upper, and lower return springs are perfectly lined up (and are not overstretched nor under stretched). The Z bar push rod went through the firewall nice and straight with a few minor tweaks using the spacers and washers they provide in the kit. Before I put this on today, I installed the Mustang Steve ball bearing kit on the pedal support. I have factory power brakes and no issues with clearing anything (except the lower part of the z bar just barely is grazing one header tube and I mean BARELY. I may clearance it tomorrow using a small piece of steel and a c-clamp to only put a small ding in via a very controlled process rather than using a ball peen hammer as most idiots do. The z bar in this kit is almost the same shape as the original z-bar., so again no clearance issues (my original Ford Z bar also had the same issue just slightly grazing one header tube and I always ignored it).
    After the installation, I put my foot on the clutch pedal and it was SMOOTH AS BUTTER down and up. The clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor and all the way up the clutch stop (the rubber stopper mounted to the pedal support) so I am getting the full range of motion.
    Super sweet piece and I highly recommend it.

    It is a super high-end piece and will not disappoint you

    TREMEC Super-Duty SN95 T5 Transmission for 94-95 Ford Mustang reviewed by K.S.

    Installed this transmission in my 1994 Mustang GT. Went in like butter with all of the stock components, driveshaft, clutch release bearing, clutch, & pilot bearing. MDL also sold me the trans oil and speedo gear I needed to adjust to my 3.73 rear axle gears. The overdrive ratio is a little higher than stock. I am running at about 1,800 rpm at 60 mph compared to 2.200 rpm with the stock trans. My Mustang is very comfortable at that lower rpm.
    This new transmission shifts very nice and smooth.
    MDL did a great job with my order. Had the transmission at my door in less than a week.
    Can’t wait to get it broken in, so I can make some passed down the drag strip.

    This new transmission shifts very nice and smooth

    65-66 Mustang T5 Crossmember reviewed by AC.

    Bought this for my 66 Coupe with the 200 i6. Fits as it should once the L bracket for the parking/emergency brake lever was cut off. Not sure if it is just my car that has this problem. Nothing would line up using the new/old trans mount. Looks and fits great otherwise, super high-quality welds. Wish that bracket was spaced just a bit farther out to get full use of the adjustment.
    Would give 5 stars otherwise.

    3 Stars

    “Modern driveline supplied me with the updated modern capabilities of a newer style clutch in my 1967 Shelby Mustang GT350. Their system is designed with the ability for the end-user to adapt it into their already finished mustang if needed. In my case, I used the parts ahead of time to fit everything up. I am very pleased with the performance of the clutch system using hydraulics over the cable system. The biggest thing you will notice is how smooth the clutch pedal is as before. Personally, as this is my career as a young and upcoming builder, I look for companies that make a great product but more importantly back up their work. Modern Driveline’s service is far beyond what you will encounter in today’s industry. I had the opportunity to call them on a regular basis when I was in the mock-up stage of my build and ask them any questions I desired. They always had an answer for me and provided me with the most helpful information to get my system working. If you’re interested in using Modern DriveLine, you chose a great company to use for your 5-6 speed conversion and I do not think you will be disappointed. If you want a look at how it all goes together check out my Instagram build page at @67shelby_thomasdickerson I had the opportunity to attend SEMA 2021 as a Young Gun in Battle of the Builders and earned Top 40 overall. Modern Driveline got me going with their clutch system and I have been pleased with it”

    “The folks over at Modern Driveline are fantastic. When the original 4-speed transmission went out on our car we decided to upgrade to a Tremec.
    Modern helped me with everything from parts selection, answering my questions during installation, and even troubleshooting issues that came up with my first installation attempt. Every time I reached out the techs were courteous, helpful, and professional. I’d recommend MDL to anyone looking for transmission swap materials, even a first-timer like myself.”

What was most impressive about the transaction was the amount of knowledge about the conversion and small parts to make a TRUE turn key install. Rarely do you get an individual that will guide you and direct you to get the best use and most out of your car.

    ” I own a 1966 GT350H (original 4-speed car). I ordered the T5 Tremec kit for my car. MDL was terrific in helping with selecting the components and following up with my garage. I run 3.89 gears in the rear and kept them with the new Tremec. I can say it totally transformed the car. Not only for highway driving with the 5th gear but in every gear.
    The difference in feel and performance is very noticeable! It’s been about a year since the installation and several thousand miles later and I’m still just as pleased as I was the first day I drove it!
    Thanks again!”

    “The Sunbeam Tiger five-speed package TKO600RR kit I bought is just perfect.  I wanted an overdrive transmission that required ABSOLUTELY NO MODIFICATIONS to the vehicle.  

    After some discussion about what I was doing with my street Tiger, Modern Driveline put together a package for me.  It was so easy working with everyone there.  Modern Driveline provided everything needed to do the job right down to details like the proper shifter boot and trim piece, and, of course, the OEM type shifter knob.

    I never realized how bad the old top-loader was!  The TKO600 is absolutely magnificent in comparison. It has a very narrow gate, and the gears just snap into place perfectly.

    My everyday street Tiger (not a show car by any means) was in the British section of the auto show at the Watkins Glen vintage races last September 2018.
    It was so much fun listening to people looking at the car.  Many people noted something like, “I never knew the Tiger had a five-speed but look, it has the OEM shifter with five speeds on it”!

    Thank you all at Modern Driveline!”

    “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 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!

    MDL is the place to go for problems solved after the sale !!

    “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.”

    “Initial call for a TKX conversion went quite well, seemed very professional. there was a confusion as to which LS engine we were using, but that was resolved. Then owner got a call about back ordered bellhousing. I called and was informed the bellhousing in the kit was backordered, and I should try to find one elsewhere. They wanted to ship everything else but bellhousing. I asked them to hold order AS IS until I found a bellhousing, or they got them in. took a few weeks, but I found, bought and had delivered a bellhousing that I was told I needed, by part number. Called and asked them to go ahead with order minus bellhousing. Got an email from them with invoice. did not look at it for two weeks when i was wondering where my kit was, and find the invoice is marked CLOSED! Called and was told it was closed because it was not completed in 30 days of initial order date. I was waiting on THEIR parts…”

    “Steve helped me get everything straightened out. Trans kit shipped and delivered quickly. The day trans arrived, I went to bolt bellhousing up, and IT DOESN’T FIT!!! Called again. had to send pics. Finally they figured out that they had put the incorrect bellhousing part number was on the original MDL original order. So there I sat, with a $900 bellhousing that i was told to buy, and it is incorrect. MDL said there was nothing they would do because I didn’t buy it from them. Said a message to the owner would be forwarded and he may reach out to me. Nothing. Their unorganization cost me $900, and weeks of waiting. And I am sure there will be a reply to a 2 star review, but you at MDL have had 2 months to reach out to me. You have my contact info, but I doubt you will call.”

    “EDIT: GOT A CALL FROM BRUCE, THE OWNER. HE WANTED TO HELP WITH ACQUISITION OF , OR EXCHANGE OF BELL HOUSING. UNFORTUNATELY I AM ON THE SAME BACKORDER LIST AS HE IS. VERY NICE CONVERSATION. I HATED TO LEAVE THE INITIAL 2 STAR REVIEW, BUT BUSINESS OWNER TO BUSINESS OWNER, I FELT OBLIGATED, SO HOPEFULLY IT WILL KEEP THIS SITUATION FROM REOCCURRING.

    Reply:  from Bruce Couture the owner
    Travis and I have talked about the incorrect bellhousing model recommendation that was made. We have had a good conversation about the project and he is back on straight and narrow. The bellhousing that was purchased from another seller on eBay will be used for another project.
    An offer was extended to do a swap to get the right bellhousing to finish the project. Normally we stock lots of bellhousings, but there has been a shortage of QuickTime bellhousing which has delayed completely shipping orders out in a timely manner. Travis, thank you for your understanding, and have an adult conversation about what happened.
    We look forward to a new opportunity to do business with you in the future.

    Frank, thank you for your review. Most of us that are good and live busy lifestyles don’t take the time to do so. I will let Shane know you dropped us a note.

    “I had been thinking about doing a five-speed swap on my 66 mustang with a straight six for a while. When I finally decided to pull the trigger it was beyond easy despite having a bit of an uncommon application. After a few phone calls with Shane at MDL I had a custom quote that I was able to talk through piece by piece to help ensure nothing went overlooked.
    Everyone was patient and I placed my order which arrived 3 days early. I will echo what others have said and confirm that this place is the one-stop-shop for upgrading your classic’s transmission.”

He was great to work with and answered all my questions with a great deal of first-hand knowledge on the subject. These guys are on point and a pleasure to do business with!

    “I’m building a restomod ’62 Ranchero.
    I bought a T5 kit from MDL. It has a relocated shifter.
    This car had a badly rusted floor, so I replaced it with a Dynacorn floor. I’ve also installed an R&C Mustang II front cross member with motor mounts.
    Now I’m in the process of mocking in all the parts before paint.
    Amazingly, the engine and transmission fit without modification to the firewall or transmission tunnel. This is with three different vendors, and me doing all the measuring & welding. I mean this drivetrain fit like it had been in there before!

    Great job and great products!”

    “Fantastic people and great to do business with.  We had a McLeod clutch that had to be replaced after 150 miles by McLeod.  The replacement came and was a mess.  The next one came and we were still having trouble.  Talking to McLeod was wasted time.  I found Modern Driveline on the interweb.  Their tech department explained everything I needed to know.  I bought a new hydraulic throw-out bearing from them and wound up buying a whole new clutch assembly.
    We live in Southern Oregon and drove to Idaho to get it properly adjusted and had their tech check it out.  They met us at their shop at 7:30 a.m., were done by 8:30 a.m. and we left for Oregon.  Very professional and great to give out information.  I would recommend them any day.”

    Thank YOU Modern Driveline.”

    I rarely provide feedback on products but feel compelled to in this case with the t5 conversion kit I purchased from MDL last year.
    My car is a 1963 Falcon Sprint, stock bell housing mated to a ’93 Cobra T5. Overall, the product was exceptional.
    The quality of the adapter, clutch/pressure plate, bearings, and hardware that came with the kit met my level of expectations (and they are pretty high). I also really liked that your kit allowed me to keep other items “stock”.
    The whole swap went together very well. I was driving the car yesterday at 70mph barely tacking 2500 rpm. Beautiful. I recommend your products to my flathead buddies on their T5 conversions.
    Keep up the quality of work and attached are some pictures during the swap and my original invoice. Thanks!  “

    I absolutely LOVE the cable clutch – it is amazingly smooth and pedal effort has been greatly reduced.  It seems like a different car and, when I drive my friend’s 66 coupe (he took my old Toploader) I can’t believe the difference!  In addition, the cable made the addition of headers a snap!  I went with the Hooker Super Comps and the cable fits right in between the tubes: the Z bar would have made installation a nightmare! “

    As a novice mechanic, their tech support has been very patient with me, specifically regarding the alignment of a bellhousing that I didn’t even buy from them!
    When it was determined that my bellhousing might need to be inspected, Bruce took the time to call the owner of the bellhousing manufacturer and set me up with a return RMA…  All for a part that he didn’t sell me!
    I also recently purchased the 79-93 Foxbody hydraulic clutch conversion from this company and the quality and ease of installation were amazing.

    “Just wanted to say what a great product you have.  I installed the cross member this weekend and it fit great!!  I tried to install another shop’s crossmember and it didn’t fit so I thought perhaps after 30 years that my car was somehow off.  Wrong, I guess they just don’t take the kind of care when making a product you do, or perhaps their test mule is off. “

    “I went to Bruce wanting a 5-speed conversion that wouldn’t cut the bracing in the floor.  Everyone else told me it couldn’t be done.
    He figured out how to do it and executed it beautifully.  The conversion completely transformed this car.
    Now I get killer acceleration with 3.55s, and I can still cruise at 80 on the freeway. It rocks.

    From a European customer:

    There is a practice session at LeMans for Saloon Car Racing and I’ll drive my car with T5z.”

    “I would like to thank you for your great service and products. The T-5 fits like a glove. Replacing the T-10M with the T5z turned a car which was really a pain to drive on the street into a vehicle that I’d drive to New York without a thought! The Shelby now cruises at 70mph at 2,500 rpm, instead of 4,000 with the 4-speed. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the results. The lower gears (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) also greatly improved the car’s acceleration. I couldn’t be more pleased and would highly recommend this conversion for any street-driven early Mustang.“

    I would like to thank you for your great service and products

    Just wanted to let you know that I finally got to drive the AC…..The gearing feels great, the clutch and shifting are superb!!!  Thanks for all your help on this…   I love that T5!  I’m getting a *huge* increase in miles-per-gallon, due largely to the overdrive, plus perhaps the new manifolds to let the 289 exhale more directly.  And the general quality of the driving experience — to be turning 2000 RPM at 60MPH rather than 3000 RPM — is very welcome.”

    These guys hooked me up with style!

    I really loved that they allowed me to “buy” a special plate to align the bell housing and then return it.
    The modification they did on the throw-out bearing to make it easier to bleed is really amazing.

    Bruce is quick to reply to emails with any questions I had and always picked up the phone when an email just wouldn’t do.
    The MDL product(s) I have is basically the complete hydraulic clutch setup with a slave cylinder for a T5. Install was a little time-consuming, but that’s only because the engine and T5 were in the car. Had the T5 been out of the car this would have been maybe a 5-minute install on the bell housing. Instructions were detailed and easy to follow, I’d say one out of 5 wrenches to install when it comes to skill level. I couldn’t be more satisfied with this hydraulic setup for my T5 conversion in my ’68 Mustang. Works smoothly and very easy on the leg if you get stuck in stop-n-go traffic.
    You can’t go wrong with MDL.”

    Contacted Bruce to help with replacing a Magnum XL in a 2008 Mustang that had ongoing noise issues. After discussing all the problems, Bruce believed it was a clutch issue. He suggested that we replace all clutch components. I felt like that was at best a 50/50 chance of solving the problems but an inexpensive shot to take. We just finished installing all the components and Bruce was right! Drives like new with no noises. Thank you Bruce…

    “I have purchased and installed a Tremec TKO 600 in my 1966 Chevelle BBC with a Ford 9-inch rear end. I purchased everything from a competitor. I would like to share with you why I have great respect for Modern Driveline. In the beginning, I had a good rapport with the competitor. Once I began asking very pointed and hard questions I could not even get them to answer the phone and when I did it was at least 1 day before I got a reply.
    I called MDL out of desperation, Bruce answered the phone every single call and answered every question as if I was his customer. This happened over several days of changing from a Powerglide to a TKO600 and a Lakewood bell housing with a 12-inch Centerforce bell housing/clutch and a Wilwood hyd. throwout bearing.
    My point in sending this review is when you need answers quick Modern Driveline is your contact. That being said, he did not have to help me at all but spent a total of 1.5 hours of his time on a conversion he did not make a nickel off of.
    Thank you BRUCE you were INVALUABLE during my install. Everything gelled perfectly. I will not say I did not have some help from who I purchased the TKO from and they were helpful when I made contact. Simply if you need a TKO, now TKX 5 speed set up don’t pass this guy up before you buy.
    One more thing. Switching from an AUTO to the stick 5 or 6 speed is unbelievable in satisfaction.
    Cudo’s Bruce you are the Best !”

    Why I have great respect for Modern Driveline
    “Well I broke my T5 this past weekend and I was debating on putting a T56 Magnum in my Mustang. So I called up Modern Driveline and asked them about it.
    They gave me a much less costly option that will work with my setup and were very knowledgeable and very friendly. I enjoyed talking with my technical person Bruce and was very pleased with the outcome that he provided me. I purchased the T5Z with an upgraded rear plate to increase the strength of this transmission and my wife was pleased that I didn’t spend 7k dollars on a trans. I am still waiting for the trans to come in and get installed but up to this point I am very pleased with the service and knowledge of these folks.”

By the time I got to install the clutch kit, there had been several instruction changes as well as a new part that was not included in the original kit. I contacted MDL, and they emailed the current install instructions and express mailed the new spacer that was not in the original kit, to me. They were very helpful and did this at no cost to me.

They know their stuff and recommended a Tremec 6 spd that can handle up to 700 lb/ft torque. The parts sat in the garage for about 2 months before we had the time to get the car on the lift and do the conversion. When we started the project, I noticed that the clutch pedal assembly was missing and after checking my receipt (to make sure I had ordered/paid for the part), called MDL. They were very helpful and said they would go back and check their inventory to see if extra parts were there. When David called back, he said they checked their shipping weights and confirmed they didn’t send the clutch pedal assembly. Proactively, he suggested I was missing a transmission tunnel as well. Sure enough! When I checked, that part was missing too. Great customer service! I would have preferred to get the parts in the first shipment, but they made it right and were proactive in making sure I had everything. I would definitely buy from them again!”

    They know their stuff

    “Bruce and his crew have always done right by me, I have known and done business with Bruce since he started it so many years ago.
    I started with a T5 conversion, then when I had a new engine built I needed a transmission that would handle the increased torque so I called him for the TKO600, Quick Time bell housing, and Superior clutch. When the new TKX came out, I call him again. Got the TKX, put it in, and wow was I impressed. Not only with the transmission but also with the follow-up service he provided. I will always use Modern Driveline for transmission and clutch needs.”

    Got the TKX, put it in, and wow was I impressed

    ” I participated, and class won, in the 2019 Peking to Paris Motor Challenge with a 1933 Dodge Roadster. his is the world’s toughest, oldest and longest rally for vintage and classic cars. 36 days to cover 15.000 km across the harshest of terrains. A grueling race where preparation of the car is vital, as there is no technical assistance.

    It is here that I sincerely want to thank Paul Coffey, Dane, and Bruce Couture from Modern Driveline.

     After numerous discussions (with sometimes a language barrier) they prepared a state of art T5 transmission with the proper gear ratios, a special front shift, and a correct speedo output.

    Of course, we had technical problems with the car, like all other competitors. But not one problem with the gearbox.

    A big thank you for the extreme and friendly professionalism during the whole process!

    Modern Driveline is your one-stop-shop for T5 conversions. No discussion!

    Cheers! “

    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!

       

     

    TKX ’67 Mustang 500-Mile Review

    “These guys are the best. Responsive, first-class service, and completely knowledgeable about what I’d need to convert to a Tremec TKO-600 transmission for my 1972 F-100. I worked with Bret Beasley directly and could not have had a better experience. He was professional, responsive, and had great advice about the best solutions for my specific build. I ordered a complete conversion kit and it came with every single part, nut, and bolt that I needed. It’s tough to find parts that fit exactly as intended in these kinds of builds yet Modern Driveline was able to do just that. The transmission kit was so good that I also ordered a driveline from them. Top notch company.”

      “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.”

    TKX was well worth the wait!

    “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!”

    Modern Driveline has done an awesome job with their tech service

    “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!”

    Nick P.

    Incredibly Helpful

    “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.”

     

    Don P.

    The depth of knowledge that they provide is invaluable

    “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, 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.”

     

    Dennis P.

    I would highly recommend the team at Modern Driveline

    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.

    You’re in good hands with Modern Driveline
    “Converting my 89’ Foxbody Mustang to a T-56 and I’m glad I called modern. Spoke I with Bruce who went through all the parts I would need and answered all my questions. He was very knowledgeable and didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need. He even saved me money on shipping by telling me I could pick up the kit from a local UPS freight shipping depot. Everything showed up packaged neatly and arrived with no damage. Had to call with a couple times with tech questions and when I did they spoke to me like I was family, resolving any issues. Whoever you speak to takes their time to resolve the issue, I’ve never been rushed off the phone. Great guys, I highly recommend.”

    I’ve never been rushed off the phone. Great guys, I highly recommend.

    “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.”

    “We’ve dealt with Modern Driveline’s products on many vehicles, but this is the first time we’ve directly purchased from them and the experience was amazing. Speaking with Bruce, we were able to create a specific transmission package that met our needs perfectly and came with everything we needed, down to the little clips and seals!
    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.”

    “I wanted to do a T5 swap in my ’69 Mustang for years but it was pretty overwhelming. Mostly I didn’t want to order some kit and not know what I was missing until too late. When I called MDL I talked to Bruce, I think he is the actual owner which was surprising but cool as well. I expected him to be busy like most businesses and want to get my order over but he talked with me and BS for a bit. He told me about how he started his business and stuff. I can’t say how much I appreciate his time to put me at ease. He talked with me a bit about what I wanted to do, clutch-type, everything. Then just simply sent me a quote.
    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.”
    Chris Loving
    Modern Driveline (owner)
    “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
    THANK YOU SO MUCH. You guys are amazing
    “I decided it was time to swap out my old 3 speed in my 68 mustang and I didn’t know where to go. I found modern driveline while searching and put in my information and they gave me a quote within that same day! I told them I needed everything to do a swap and they said “we got you!” And sure enough, they did. We got everything ordered and it came really fast even during the holidays and with COVID! I highly recommend using them if you need to swap a transmission.”

    “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.”

After asking a lot of questions of various vendors I felt like I was getting the straightest answers from this company. After I ordered everything from them they shipped quickly. I had a few questions during my installation and no matter who answered the phone there I got good answers. I would absolutely buy from them again.”

    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 too long (so technically not their fault but they did provide it).”

    “Wiring up my T56 Magnum XL in a 2014 Mustang GT has been a very complicated and difficult experience. However, Bruce at Modern Driveline has gone above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service, even considering I did not buy the transmission from them.
    The colors of the wires changed for the 2014 year model which led to confusion initially. In addition, the reverse lockout box has yet to work consistently.
    Bruce made it a point to troubleshoot all of the issues on a day-by-day basis. He contacted Ford and Accutach to search for a solution to my dilemma while remaining available to my relentless questions. Although I am still having problems getting everything straightened out, regardless of the outcome, it should be known that Bruce at Modern Driveline is an example of how customer service should be done.

    “I cannot find enough superlatives to describe this outfit … Outstanding and stellar come immediately to mind.
    Casual treatment by another vendor left me with the wrong parts (clutch kit) which I unknowingly installed. Number one, they picked up the phone, and then troubleshooted the problem, educated me and let me choose the solution. I was so impressed by their (Bret) knowledge that I decided to get the replacement (correct) parts from them, The owner (Bruce) called me directly to dial in the parts order based on my driving (fast & furious) and fine tuned my parts order. … who does that? This outfit does!!! I have more projects I am working on and this is my new “Go To” company.”

    “Customer of 18 years says this is The Place!
    I bought my transmission, cross member, and cable clutch from Bruce 17 years ago. My cable clutch is one of the best mods I’ve made in terms of driveability. Have not had a single issue (despite the fact that my car has seen many hard miles on the track and off). Yet when I’ve had questions Bruce has always been available, knowledgeable, and honest about what he thinks would work best for me. He supports his customers with integrity and honesty and I could not ask for a better partner to help me get what’s right for my car.
    Over the years, I’ve seen Bruce at Open Track events with the Shelby club, sometimes walking the paddock saying Hi to many customers, sometimes strapping in for a session, answering a question for someone who might be considering a swap or, just as likely, getting his hands dirty helping someone with an issue that has popped up (we are NOT easy on our cars). The only thing I can add is a huge Thank You to Bruce for making sure I picked what I needed to keep my car going and for being such a stand-up guy.”

    MDL is a great company. For years I’ve been trying to solve a problem with the 6 speed I got from American Powertrain.
    The master cylinder was always leaking and the car would barely shift. After at least 20 calls to the rude tech at American Powertrain, I had all but given up.
    Browsing the internet I came across Modern Driveline and found their master cylinder setup for my ’67 Firebird.
    I live nearby them and they had the part in stock and allowed me to come by and pick it up. The gentleman who helped me was very nice and got me taken care of very fast. This part MD-910-0102 is way better designed than the junky one I had before. Fixed the problem and my car shifts great now.
    American Powertrain kept telling me I didn’t know what I was doing. I restore/ customize high-end muscle cars and hotrods so I knew it wasn’t me even though I started to doubt myself… MDL has a new customer for life.”

    “Bottom Line: Best prices and people to buy from. They know conversions better than anyone on earth. Excellent tech support no matter how long ago you bought the conversion. Drill down on the internet and you’ll see I’m giving you good advice. I upgraded a 66 Mustang Coupe from an automatic to the Tremec T5z that’s between a Boss 302 / 9″ rear end w 350 gears. I’m 60 years old and row the 5 speed gearbox better than when I was 18 in my 68 roadrunner… The hydraulic clutch makes the peddle action way easier. Wanna go, Bro?”

    Do yourself a favor and do your job the right way with the right parts the first time

    “I researched several major vendors before swapping to a T56 transmission in my 3rd Gen. GM A-body. After asking a lot of questions from various vendors I felt like I was getting the straightest answers from this company. After I ordered everything from them they shipped quickly. I had a few questions during my installation and no matter who answered the phone there I got good answers. I would absolutely buy from them again.”

    I Would Absolutely Buy From Them Again.

    “I usually don’t do reviews but after the amazing dealing with bruce and Bret, I had to post something. After calling and emailing many companies about a magnum xl swap for my boss 302. Everyone either had half the kit or wasn’t willing to work with me(aka if you don’t like how our kit is we don’t care basically ). I had been emailing Bret about the conversion. Got quotes and after a few emails back and forth was ready to purchase their kit. We couldn’t decide on what driveshaft to run based on what I was doing with the car. Enter in bruce the owner of the company, Bret got him involved and he contacted me directly on my plans for the car. We talked about different options and what he felt was best for my power level (817rwhp) and what I’m doing with the car( drag race.street car). We settled with a Qa1 carbon fiber driveshaft. Locked in the deal and got everything ordered. All parts in stock and to my door in less than 2 weeks. Fast forward a couple of weeks later, during install had a part malfunction, nothing to do with install or just a bad out of the box part. Also, the few things not seen before by them or Tremec. After contacting Modern Driveline about the issue. Again was contacted by Bruce trying to get things figured out Took pictures of my issues. He got with Tremec and we got everything settled out. He kept my car from being down due to a parts issue and immediately got me another part out. Been wrenching for years and have dealt with a lot of companies. Some good some bad.. Bruce and his team, were great before, during, and after the sale. I highly recommend ANYONE looking for transmission conversions, driveshafts, or anything else drivetrain related. Reach out to them first. I can tell you, you won’t be disappointed.”

    “I ordered a Tilton clutch and flywheel kit for my 2011 Mustang GT with a T56 swap. They knew every part I needed (and didn’t need) off the top of their head. Everything arrived as ordered in a short time with full instructions, which is a really nice touch when not using stock parts. It all installed smoothly and works great. I’ve ordered parts from a lot of other places and usually, you only get a few of the above points. You guys hit them all. Thank you!”

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).”

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.”

    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.

    Big shoutout to Paul at moderndriveline. We were able to fix the alignment issue with the clutch pedal linkage, clean up the clevis, and install bushings to keep the arm centered. What a difference! The clutch feels like it belongs in a little econobox. Perfect!

    ” I called this AM and spoke to Bruce on the pedal bolt. car is now driving amazing.
    It has been parked for 10 years… I’ve owned it 33 years with the c4 trans.

    The hydraulic clutch is awesome!  Trans shifts great!

    Only negative…  my engine (351W with Holley 750 DP) has been tuned for high rpm of the loose converter C4… I can now see I’ll need some carb recalibration with the manual but that’s OK… so much fun to drive!  The engine acts confused lugging it at 1200 rpm.

    One surprise… my car has an original bench seat which has a foldable center armrest.  The shifter location and body position are perfect to rest your elbow on the armrest!  Glad I left the original seats now, rather than aftermarket buckets.

     

    Everything is just right; I cannot imagine it working out any better so thank you!

    “I wanted to thank you personally and MDL  for your help in solving a transmission shifting problem I had been having for about 4 years. I’m not a mechanic but it is mostly what I do in my spare time.

    After describing my symptoms to you, you said it sounded like an active input shaft and as it turns out you were right. My tranny goes in gear now with no issues.

    I have been meaning to send this to you for a couple months but couldn’t find your email address.

    Again thank you!

    I’m on several Ford forums and anytime some one asks about tranny conversions I tell them to call MDL.

    ” I spoke to you last week about the hydraulic clutch that was not disengaging fully on my 70 Mustang. I finally got time to work on the car today. I adjusted the clutch according to the new instructions, and it slightly improved it, but the transmission was still balky.
    I bled it with the bleeder kit I ordered from you, and after a couple of false starts with brake fluid all over my driveway from the stopper popping out, I felt that I finally got an adequate bleed. I drove it, and it was fixed!  A pleasure to drive.
    I had bled this system multiple times, had pros bleed the system, and I never got more than an inch of travel on the slave cylinder. Obviously, I had just enough of a trapped air bubble to prevent the slave cylinder from pushing the lever enough. I finally got a system with your bleeder where I could hold the stopper in place and inject the fluid at the recommended rate, and it worked. The mess cleaned up with some soap, and it is a pleasure to drive now! “

    Thanks for the help!

    The clutch went out in our Dodge 2005 diesel truck. We did not know where to turn because we needed the truck to pull trailers in the back country. We called Modern DriveLine and they spoke with the clutch builder . Modern DriveLine built us a custom clutch that works perfectly. It shifts very smoothly and is completely reliable. You can’t ask for anything more when traveling in the back-country wilderness.
    Thanks Modern DriveLine !

    “First, let me say thank you one more time: your help and frank, honest answers were immensely helpful.  It was obvious from the start that you were more concerned with getting me the appropriate equipment than maximizing your profit.  Being able to get everything from one source and then to call you with questions was a great relief!

     

    I absolutely LOVE the cable clutch – it is amazingly smooth and pedal effort has been greatly reduced.  It seems like a different car and, when I drive my friends 66 coupe (he took my old toploader) I can’t believe the difference!  In addition, the cable made the addition of headers a snap!  I went with the Hooker Super Comps and the cable fits right in between the tubes: the Z bar would have made installation a nightmare! “

    Happy Cobra Owner with MDL Solution

    “Hello modern DrivelLine

    While cleaning out my mailbox I discovered an email draft about my Tiger transmission conversion that never got sent!.

    Your conversion kit for putting the five-speed transmission in my 65 Tiger is just fantastic!

    Danbury Competition Engines provided the clutch so he could include that in balancing the engine assembly.  Modern Driveline provided everything from there back.
    This transmission is absolutely fantastic!  The clutch works beautifully and the shifter clicks into the 5 gears with such great precision.  It is SO much better than the old Toploader!!  The overdrive is greatly appreciated for out on the highway

    For the installation, I opted to put the engine/transmission combination in from the top which proved to be extremely challenging to say the least.  I certainly recommend going in from the bottom as you and others have suggested.  But, it can be done from the top!  Everything fit in perfectly so I had no modifications to make to the car which was my utmost concern and requirement.

    You had suggested that a different bore master cylinder would likely be required.  The stock Tiger master cylinder bore is 5/8″.  I had a 3/4″ bore identical Girling master cylinder in stock but, even that proved to be too small.  As I was up against a deadline to get to the Watkins Glen vintage races, I had to seek out something local and fast.  I discovered that the early 80s Jeep CJ7 used a 13/16″ Girling master cylinder and many parts stores had them in stock.  That turns out to be the best size for this conversion at least in my Tiger.

     

    All in all, your transmission kit for the Tiger is just wonderful and the ONLY way to go for this conversion!  I just love it! “

    Sunbeam Tiger- the ONLY way to go

    “I would like to thank you for your great service and products. The T-5 fit like a glove. Replacing the T-10M with the T5z turned a car which was really a pain to drive on the street into a vehicle which I’d drive to New York without a thought! The Shelby now cruises at 70mph at 2,500 rpm, instead of 4,000 with the 4-speed. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with the results. The lower gears (1st, 2nd and 3rd) also greatly improved the cars acceleration. I couldn’t be more pleased and would highly recommend this conversion for any street driven early Mustang.“.

    Shelby
    I’m in Overdrive… Are you?

    Good morning Bruce, Just wanted to let you know that I finally got to drive the AC…..The gearing feels great, the clutch and shifting are superb!!!
    Thanks for all your help on this…
    I love that T5!  I’m getting a *huge* increase in miles-per-gallon, due largely to the overdrive, plus perhaps the new manifolds to let the 289 exhale more directly.  And the general quality of the driving experience — to be turning 2000 RPM at 60MPH rather than 3000 RPM — is very welcome.

    Superb Shifting

    I went to Bruce at Modern Driveline wanting a 5 speed conversion that wouldn’t cut the bracing in the floor.
    Everyone else told me it couldn’t be done…   He figured out how to do it and executed it beautifully.
    The conversion completely transformed this car.
    Now I get killer acceleration with 3.55s, and I can still cruise at 80 on the freeway. It rocks.

    Just wanted to say what a great product you have. 
    I installed the cross member this weekend and it fit great!! 
    I tried to install another shops cross-member and it didn’t fit so I thought perhaps after 30 years that my car was somehow off…  Wrong,  I guess they just don’t take the kind of care when making a product you do or perhaps their test mule is off.  LOL!

    Hi I’m Ron Bramlett, owner of Mustangs Plus, Inc. in Stockton, CA. In 1999 I ordered a T-5z with a .83 overdrive 5th gear for the use in my #4 Grabber Green fastback. The reason is that the stock .63 ratio is basically unusable in any performance driving. My hat’s off to Bruce for building me such a nice shifting and trouble free transmission.

    Grab those gears – Ron Bramlett

    Here is Richard Bramlett’s 1966 mustang coupe that is nicknamed the Colt 351.

    It is equipped with a built 351W and a Modern DriveLine, custom built, T-5z. Richard built his 351W to produce a lot of torque so that he could drag race the Colt. With 25+ passes down the quarter mile, his best ET on street tires is a 12.6 seconds @ 113mph and with slicks 12.3 seconds @ 112mph.

     

    Colt 351

    Here is a 65 Mustang that had a T-10 Four speed with 4.10 rear gears.

    The T-10 four speed was removed for a T-5z five speed with 3.25 rear gears. The original clutch linkage was removed for a clutch cable system. Drive-ablity and mileage have much improved.
