This shifter is a close-ratio custom-made piece that is now an integral part of the transmission.
This is an upgraded transmission, this isn't just a bolt-on shifter.
They are all prepared at our facility by hand to ensure quality & precision.
Many hours of R&D were put forth to provide this to you, our customer.
No upgraded TKX leaves here unless it's right.
What do we do to the TKX:
MDL modifications bring the shifter stub up to the OE position.
We achieve this by carefully machining, updating, and integrating new pieces into this must-have transmission

- All gears & shafts are made from special grade steel (ASTM 4615) for the increased demands of today's engines.
- Single-piece countershaft provides an increased torque carrying capacity.
- Tapered roller bearings on input, output & counter shafts improve performance....( reducing noise factor ) with a caged needle bearing on the main shaft.
- Equipped with an MDL high-performance short-throw billet aluminum shifter that isolates road noise, while providing clean crisp shifts......(See more detail on the MDL shifter here)
- A new smaller mid-position shifter mounting base reduced the footprint
- Built-in reverse light switch on the left side
- Cruise control safety switch location on the right side of the TKX.
- The rear main-shaft support bushing moved from the tail closer to the gearbox provides better support.
