Description

Your '52-'54 Ford's original three-speed wasn't designed for today's traffic or highway speeds. Wide gear spacing leaves you hunting for the right ratio in modern driving, and no overdrive means higher RPMs, more noise, and increased fuel consumption on the freeway. This complete TREMEC T5 conversion package solves all of that by pairing the compact, lightweight T5 5-speed with everything you need for a proper flathead V8 swap -- including the correct 10" long pattern clutch for your AC-6392D bellhousing's conventional fork design.

The T5's gear ratios (2.95, 1.94, 1.34, 1.00, and 0.63) deliver perfectly spaced shifts with strong takeoff from the 2.95 first gear and a deep 0.63 overdrive that drops highway RPM dramatically. At just 75 lbs dry, the T5 is significantly lighter than your original transmission while offering 300 lb-ft of torque capacity. The front shift tail housing moves the shifter forward to match your car's original transmission location, so you won't need to modify your floor or tunnel for proper shifter placement.

MDL's engineering addresses the specific requirements of 1952-1954 Ford cars. The AC-6392D bellhousing used in these years features a fork with pads facing forward -- a different design than the pinned forks found in '49-'51 applications. This package includes the proper adapter and 10" long pattern mechanical clutch to work with your existing bellhousing, delivering smooth engagement and proper release. The compact T5 design fits within most factory tunnels without major modifications, making this an ideal conversion for flathead V8-powered Fords.

This configurable package allows you to select the exact components your build requires -- from clutch kits and flywheels to shifters, transmission mounts, and driveshaft yokes. All components are designed to work together as a complete system, eliminating the guesswork of piecing together individual parts from multiple sources. Made in the USA with lifetime technical support from the MDL team.
