MDL modified Tremec TKX 5 speed, Front Socket 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.
