MDL modified Tremec TKX 5 speed, Forward Mounted Shifter
with a Taller Shifter Housing for Trucks.
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 its right.
What do we do to the TKX:
MDL modifications bring the shifter stub up in OE position.
We achieve this by carefully machining, updating, and integrating new pieces to
this must-have transmission
