Description

The factory T5 behind your '94-'95 V8 or '94-'98 V6 SN95 Mustang was designed for economy-car duty and compromised gearing. This MDL-enhanced Super-Duty T5 solves both problems: it delivers a higher torque capacity, improved internals, and gear ratios optimized for real street performance. The 2.95 first gear launches harder off the line without over-revving, and the deep 0.63 overdrive drops highway RPMs for quieter cruising and reduced engine temperatures.

World Class construction sets this transmission apart from earlier non-WC units. Tapered carrier bearings and main needle bearings reduce friction and improve durability under load. Carbon fiber synchronizers on all four forward gears (1st through 4th) provide quicker engagement and better high-RPM shifting than bronze-lined rings. The steel front bearing retainer and Cobra-style pocket bearing address the weak points found in OEM aluminum retainers, while the correctly-sized 7.8-inch input shaft ensures proper engagement with the deeper SN95 bellhousing.

MDL builds this transmission specifically for the aftermarket, enhancing the standard TREMEC T5 for SN95 applications. The conservative 330 ft-lb torque rating safely handles street cars up to 450 hp on DOT-approved tires. This is a direct replacement for 1994-1995 Ford Mustang GT, Cobra, and V8 models, as well as 1994-1998 3.8L V6 Mustangs. It can also work with 1999-2004 V6 Mustangs when paired with a speedometer ERA adapter. For other swaps, this transmission fits vehicles using the '94-'95 bellhousing with a seven o'clock fork opening, or Fox body bellhousings with MDL's MD-401-2110 spacer plate.

Replaces Ford part numbers 1352-238, 1352-242, 1352-246, 1352-252, and 1352-253. Uses 2.75 quarts of ATF Dexron III fluid.

Description

Whether you're replacing a cracked bellhousing on your SN95 Mustang V6 or sourcing the correct housing for a T5 swap project, this genuine Ford aluminum bellhousing delivers OEM fitment without the new-part price tag. The F4ZR-6394-DA casting is purpose-built for the 1994-2004 Mustang 3.8L V6 application, designed to mate the T5 five-speed transmission to Ford's Essex V6 engine.

The 3.8L bellhousing differs from its 5.0L counterpart in one critical way: flywheel ring gear compatibility. The V6 five-speed uses a 164-tooth flywheel, while the V8 GT models use a 157-tooth flywheel. This difference affects starter positioning and ring gear mesh depth, so matching the correct bellhousing to your flywheel is essential for proper starter engagement. For builders swapping a small block Ford V8 into a V6 chassis, this bellhousing will bolt to 289/302/351 blocks thanks to the shared bolt pattern - just use a 164-tooth flywheel and the appropriate starter.

Ford redesigned the SN95 bellhousing with a longer input shaft pocket compared to Fox-body T5 housings, positioning the transmission further rearward for improved shifter placement in the cabin. The cable-actuated clutch fork mounts at approximately 7 o'clock - a distinguishing feature from earlier Fox housings that positioned the fork closer to 9 o'clock. This used unit has been inspected for thread integrity and critical mounting surfaces.

Compatible with all 1994-2004 Mustang 3.8L V6 engines equipped with T5 five-speed manual transmissions. A budget-friendly solution for restoration, replacement, or transmission swap projects.

• Designed for cable and external hydraulic clutch operation with compatible bellhousings
• SN95-specific geometry with longer overall length and extended pivot points versus Fox Body forks
• Stamped steel construction for durability and reduced flex under load
• Direct replacement for worn OE clutch forks on SN95 and New Edge Mustangs

Description

When you're replacing the clutch in your 1994-2004 Mustang, don't overlook the clutch fork. This frequently neglected component takes a beating every time you press the pedal, and a worn fork causes sloppy engagement, inconsistent pedal feel, and premature throwout bearing wear. This MDL clutch lever restores factory-correct geometry to your SN95 or New Edge drivetrain.

The SN95 clutch fork is not interchangeable with Fox Body forks. The 1994-2004 lever is longer overall with extended pivot points to match the deeper SN95 bellhousing depth and longer input shaft configuration. Using the wrong fork causes the clutch cable to exit at a severe angle, resulting in hard pedal effort, accelerated cable wear, and eventual cable failure. This lever provides the correct geometry for proper throwout bearing positioning and smooth clutch actuation.

Engineered for both stock cable-release setups and external hydraulic conversions, this fork works with OE and aftermarket bellhousings designed for '94-'04 applications. Whether you're running a T5 carryover, the T45 that served '96-'99 GTs, the 3650 that replaced it in 2000, or the T-56 behind your 4.6L Cobra, this clutch lever delivers the reliable operation your drivetrain demands.

Kit Includes

• Clutch lever/fork assembly
• Installation instructions

Cast Iron Flywheel | 1994-2004 Mustang 3.8L | 164 Tooth | External Balance

Key Features

• Direct OEM-replacement cast iron construction for 1994-2004 Mustang 3.8L V6 applications
• 164-tooth ring gear for proper starter motor engagement
• 11" metric pressure plate bolt pattern with alignment pins for precise clutch mounting

• 6-bolt crankshaft mounting pattern with 10mm pressure plate bolt size
• Single-disc compatible for stock or mild street performance builds

Description

When your original 3.8L Mustang flywheel has reached its resurfacing limits or developed cracks, this cast iron replacement delivers factory-spec fitment and performance. Ford engineered the Essex V6 with an externally balanced rotating assembly, meaning the flywheel carries counterweight to compensate for the engine's 28 oz. imbalance. Installing an incorrectly balanced flywheel creates vibration that damages bearings, shortens clutch life, and makes the car miserable to drive. This unit maintains the correct external balance your 3.8L requires.

The 164-tooth ring gear ensures proper starter motor engagement, while the 11" metric bolt pattern with pre-installed alignment pins guarantees your pressure plate mounts square without runout. Correct flywheel thickness is critical for hydraulic clutch release systems - flywheels that have had too much material removed during resurfacing can affect slave cylinder geometry and clutch release. This fresh casting provides the correct friction surface height for proper clutch engagement.

Cast iron remains the ideal material for daily-driven applications where smooth engagement and thermal stability matter more than rapid engine response. The mass helps absorb heat during stop-and-go traffic and provides the rotational inertia that makes low-rpm driving manageable. For motorsports applications requiring higher rpm capability, consider upgrading to a billet steel flywheel - cast iron is best suited for street driving and stock power levels where durability and drivability are the priority.

What's Included

• One cast iron flywheel with 164-tooth ring gear
• 11" metric clutch bolt pattern with alignment pins
• External balance weighting for 28 oz. imbalance compensation

Key Features

• Lightened billet steel construction reduces rotational mass for improved throttle response

• Made in the USA

Description

Heavy factory flywheels rob throttle response and make your Ford 3.8L V6 feel sluggish off the line. This lightened billet steel flywheel from MDL solves that problem by reducing rotational mass while maintaining the durability and heat capacity needed for spirited street driving. The billet steel construction provides superior strength compared to cast iron alternatives, resisting cracking under repeated thermal cycling.

Engineered specifically for externally balanced non-supercharged Ford 3.8L V6 engines, this flywheel features the correct external counterweight configuration required for smooth, vibration-free operation. The 6-bolt crankshaft mounting pattern with 7/16" hardware ensures secure attachment to the crankshaft flange, while the 10.4" metric bolt pattern with alignment pins guarantees precise clutch alignment during installation.

At 30 pounds, this flywheel delivers noticeably quicker engine response compared to heavy OEM units while retaining enough rotational inertia for smooth clutch engagement and everyday drivability.

Description

When your Ford 4.6L or 5.0L modular engine is making serious power, OEM-style clutches and their stamped steel pressure plates become the weak link. The Tilton ST-246 was designed from the ground up as a true performance twin-disc clutch -- not an OEM-type stamped steel pressure plate with a floater tacked on. Tilton Engineering has been the leading supplier of small-diameter racing clutches since 1972, winning championships in F1, NASCAR, IMSA, IndyCar, SCCA, Formula Drift, and SCORE. That racing pedigree is engineered directly into this street-capable assembly.

The aluminum clutch cover shares technology from Tilton's championship-winning OT-Series racing clutches, delivering superior strength and stiffness compared to stamped steel alternatives. The high-mass pressure plate and floater plate are machined from the same proprietary materials used in Tilton's racing clutches, providing exceptional heat capacity and warpage resistance under sustained high-torque loads. The floater plate is twice the thickness of most competing twin-disc designs, which allows for the sprung-hub disc configuration, eliminates gear chatter, and provides dramatically better heat dissipation. Heavy-duty straps connecting the plates to the cover eliminate the noise and inconsistent engagement plaguing lesser twin-disc designs.

This assembly's dual 246mm organic discs with sprung center hubs deliver 850 lb-ft capacity while dampening engine vibrations and reducing gearbox noise for smooth street engagement. The chromoly steel flywheel features an integrated 164-tooth ring gear and precision register that locates the clutch for optimal balance -- a critical upgrade over the loose-fitting bolts and dowels used with stamped steel clutches. The result is a clutch system that handles serious power while maintaining street manners.

Fits Ford 4.6L and 5.0L modular engines with 8-bolt crank flanges. The 26-spline x 1-1/8-inch hub works with TREMEC TKO, TKX, T56 Magnum, and Magnum XL transmissions. Note: TREMEC transmission models 11010, 11011, and 16884 require the guide tube to be trimmed 0.5 inches to prevent disc interference.

Description

The 2003-2004 Terminator Cobra arrived from the factory with 390 hp and 390 lb-ft of torque from its supercharged 4.6L DOHC V8 - and most owners don't leave it there. Once you start adding boost or supporting modifications, the stock clutch becomes the weak link. This Superior Series steel-backed organic clutch kit delivers 400 ft-lb of holding capacity while preserving the smooth, progressive engagement characteristics that make a Terminator livable on the street.

The steel backing plate behind the organic friction material provides two key advantages over standard organic discs: increased structural rigidity under high clamp loads and better heat dissipation during aggressive driving. The result is longer clutch life without the harsh engagement or chatter that comes with full-metallic or ceramic facings. The nodular iron diaphragm pressure plate uses Ford's Metric 10mm bolt pattern and features clutch fingers specifically profiled for cable release operation, ensuring consistent pedal feel and proper throwout bearing geometry.

Every Superior clutch disc is hand-assembled at MDL's facility, where technicians verify spring tension, rivet placement, and balance before shipping. The 11-inch disc diameter provides ample surface area for smooth torque transfer, and the kit includes a cable-style throwout bearing, pilot bearing, and alignment tool - everything needed for a complete installation. This kit is designed for Terminator Cobra owners who want a clutch upgrade that handles bolt-on power levels while maintaining daily-driver manners.

Fits 2003-2004 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra with cable clutch actuation. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

Stock clutches can't keep pace with modified 4.6L Cobra engines - and when you're running cable actuation, your options get even more limited. The MDL Superior Kevlar/Ceramic clutch kit solves both problems with a purpose-built upgrade designed specifically for 2001-2004 Mustang Cobra (will also fit Modular 5.0L with cable release) applications using cable clutch release.

The dual-faced disk design is where this clutch earns its reputation. The Kevlar face provides the smooth, progressive engagement characteristics you need for street driving and traffic, while the ceramic face delivers the high coefficient of friction required for hard launches and high-torque applications. As temperatures climb under aggressive use, the ceramic material actually increases its grip - ideal for repeated pulls at the strip or spirited canyon runs.

The 11" metric pressure plate uses a 10mm bolt pattern with a diaphragm design that's been finger-profiled specifically for cable release geometry. The 26-spline x 1-1/8" disk hub matches upgraded input shaft configurations, and the sprung hub design dampens drivetrain shock while maintaining crisp engagement. Every Superior disk is hand-assembled at MDL's Idaho facility using double-riveted construction and the finest available components - then double-checked for tolerances before shipping.

Key Features

• Billet aluminum quadrant replaces failure-prone plastic factory self-adjusting unit
• Fully adjustable clutch cable with threaded fork end for precise pedal travel tuning
• Complete conversion kit - includes all parts needed to upgrade from non-adjustable factory setup
• Ford Performance components (M-7553-D302) for OEM-quality fit and durability
• Compatible with OE Bendix 8-inch brake boosters only - will not clear Midland or larger aftermarket boosters
• Pull-style clutch fork applications only - not compatible with push-style configurations

Description

The factory plastic self-adjusting quadrant in '96-'04 Mustangs is a well-known failure point. The plastic teeth wear down, the mechanism binds, and eventually the system leaves you with a dead pedal or inconsistent clutch engagement. This Ford Performance adjustable clutch cable kit solves the problem permanently by replacing the entire factory setup with a robust billet aluminum quadrant and a fully adjustable clutch cable.

The aluminum quadrant eliminates the factory's plastic ratchet mechanism entirely. Instead of relying on spring-loaded teeth that wear out and slip, you get solid aluminum construction that engages positively every time. The included adjustable clutch cable features a threaded end at the fork, allowing you to dial in precise clutch pedal travel and engagement point. This adjustability is essential when running performance clutches with different actuation characteristics than stock, or simply when you want pedal feel tailored to your driving style.

Compatibility note: This kit is engineered specifically for '96-'04 Mustangs with manual transmissions and pull-style clutch forks. It works with OE Bendix 8-inch brake boosters but will not clear Midland brake boosters (identifiable by their band clamps) or certain aftermarket 8-inch and larger units. If you're running headers, shorty headers with at least one inch of minimum clearance are recommended - long-tube headers can melt the cable's outer casing and cause engagement issues or complete failure. For builds with full-length headers, MDL recommends converting to an internal slave hydraulic system instead.

This is a complete kit with everything needed to convert from the factory non-adjustable system - no additional parts required to complete the installation.

What's Included

• Billet aluminum clutch quadrant
• Adjustable clutch cable with threaded fork end
• Mounting hardware

Description

SN95 and New Edge Mustang owners know the factory clutch cable becomes a liability as power levels climb. Cable stretch demands constant adjustment, heat from headers degrades the cable, and stiff performance clutches turn stop-and-go traffic into a workout. The Stealth Series In-Dash Hydraulic Clutch Master Kit eliminates these problems by converting to a fully hydraulic system that hides entirely behind the dash - freeing up valuable firewall real estate for engine swaps and keeping the engine bay clean.

This is the only kit on the market that lets you tune clutch engagement to your preference. The custom clutch pedal arm offers three distinct master cylinder mounting positions, allowing you to adjust where the clutch grabs and how fast it responds. Want engagement higher off the floor? Move the pivot point. Need to slow down an aggressive release? Adjust accordingly. Spherical mounting points at the pedal ensure the linkage operates without binding or inconsistent feel, regardless of which position you select.

Installation leverages the factory architecture. The master cylinder and pedal assembly mount directly to the OEM pedal support with zero drilling or modifications. The sealed bulkhead assembly routes the -4AN stainless steel braided lines through the existing clutch cable hole in the firewall, maintaining the factory firewall seal while keeping moisture and engine fumes out of the cabin. The included 2100 Series billet aluminum reservoir features an improved cap design with side-top vents to prevent water entry and can be mounted wherever packaging demands.

Engineered to work with existing industry slave cylinders and hydraulic release bearings, the Stealth Series integrates with your current setup or pairs with any slave you choose.

Description

The LF Series External Hydraulic Slave Kit eliminates the chronic headaches of SN95 Mustang clutch cable systems - binding cables, heavy pedal effort, worn cables that drag, and melted housings from header heat. Designed specifically for 1994-1995 5.0L V8 Mustangs with RF-F4ZR-6394-CA aluminum bellhousings and 1994-2004 3.8L V6 Mustangs with RF-F6ZR-6394-AB aluminum bellhousings, this kit converts your cable-actuated clutch to smooth, reliable hydraulic operation with the factory T5 transmission and 7 o'clock fork position.

The heart of the system is a precision 0.750-inch bore hydraulic cylinder that mounts directly inside the bellhousing fork opening, pushing the OEM cable fork from the rear. This rear-mounted configuration provides critical clearance for long tube headers and larger exhaust systems that would otherwise melt a clutch cable. The result is consistent, linear clutch feel with lighter pedal effort that improves every aspect of driving - from stop-and-go traffic to spirited canyon runs.

Installation requires no bellhousing machining or modifications. The kit uses the existing fork opening and includes a bolt-on pivot socket that works with your factory cable-style clutch fork. The adjustable push rod lets you dial in the perfect engagement point, while the -4AN braided stainless steel line handles heat and vibration that would destroy a rubber cable.

Description

Factory automatic Fox-body and SN95 Mustangs used a completely different transmission tunnel height than their manual-equipped counterparts. Manual transmission cars came from the factory with a raised tunnel extension - often called the "hump" - that provides the extra clearance needed around the shifter area and gives the lower shifter boot a proper mounting surface. Without this hump, an automatic-to-manual swap forces you to hack up your floor pan or live with a shifter boot that doesn't seal correctly.

This high-quality tunnel hump is a factory-correct reproduction of the piece that Ford originally spot-welded to manual transmission Mustangs. Formed from 18-gauge press-bent steel, it matches the original factory dimensions and contours. The panel includes pre-punched mounting holes for clutch cable retaining clips, so your cable routing is correct from the start. A pre-primed finish provides corrosion protection and a clean base for painting to match your interior.

Installation is straightforward: the hump slides over your existing automatic transmission tunnel and can be secured with pop rivets, tap screws, or welded into place - your call on how permanent you want the installation. This panel provides the correct location and hole size for the lower shift boot, giving your conversion a factory-finished look.

Direct fit for 1979-1993 Fox-body Mustang, Capri, and Fairmont, as well as 1994-2004 SN95 Mustang conversions. Compatible with T-5, TKO, TKX, and T-56 Magnum transmission installations.

Description

Slamming into reverse at speed is a quick way to grenade a gearbox. This 5-speed shift ball eliminates that risk with an integrated side-mounted push button lockout that requires deliberate activation before reverse can be selected. The button includes wiring for connection to various shifter configurations that utilize electronic or mechanical reverse lockout functionality.

The ball itself is built from specially formulated high-impact polymer resin designed specifically for the automotive industry. Unlike cheap plastic knobs that crack under stress or go chalky from heat cycles, this material resists stress cracking with age while handling the torque and temperature swings of hard driving. The 1-7/8" diameter provides solid palm contact for confident shifting, and the polished white finish cleans up easily.

Mounting uses a 16mm x 1.50 brass master insert with an included brass jam nut. This thread size is common on 1982-2002 Camaro and Firebird shifters, Pontiac Fiero applications, and various aftermarket shifters. For other thread sizes, pair this shift ball with MDL thread reducers to adapt down to your specific shifter requirements.

Made in the USA from a manufacturer that has been producing quality shift knobs for decades.

Description

Adding switch control to your shifter shouldn't mean clunky add-ons or taking your hand off the lever mid-shift. This 5-speed black shift ball puts a side-mounted momentary push button exactly where your thumb naturally rests, giving you instant access to nitrous activation, line lock, or other electrical accessories without fumbling for a dashboard switch or console button.

The side-mount placement is intentional: unlike top-mounted buttons that can be accidentally triggered during aggressive shifts, this configuration requires deliberate engagement. The included 18" wire harness gives you plenty of length to route to your relay or control module, with terminals ready for connection. Whether you're staging at the strip or wiring in a secondary system, the button is right there when you need it.

Description

Factory rubber transmission mounts deteriorate over time from constant exposure to heat, oil, and the stress of supporting your transmission. A worn mount causes excessive drivetrain vibration, sloppy shifting under hard acceleration, and poor driveline alignment between your transmission tailshaft and crossmember. This precision-welded transmission mount restores solid mounting integrity while isolating vibration through its integrated rubber contact pad.

The welded steel construction delivers the rigidity your drivetrain demands, eliminating the flex and movement that plague degraded OEM mounts. Unlike cheap replacement mounts that sacrifice durability for cost savings, this mount features a protective coating that resists corrosion in harsh underhood and undercar environments. The rubber cushion absorbs vibration without the harshness of a solid mount, maintaining driving comfort while dramatically improving shift quality.

Designed as a direct bolt-in replacement for the factory mount, installation requires no modifications to your crossmember or transmission housing.

Description

When you swap to a 5- or 6-speed transmission, your original speedometer gear won't work with the new final drive ratio, throwing off your speedometer readings. This 16-tooth driven gear provides the correct gear ratio match to restore accurate speedometer operation in Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum applications.

Selecting the correct driven gear depends on your rear axle ratio and tire diameter. The wine-colored housing provides instant visual confirmation of the 16-tooth count during installation and future service, eliminating guesswork when fine-tuning your speedometer calibration. Each tooth change adjusts the speedometer reading approximately 4-5 mph, so selecting the right gear for your combination is critical.

This is the correct driven gear for all Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions. Whether you're building a street machine that sees daily driving or a weekend cruiser that needs reliable instrumentation, this precision-molded gear delivers smooth, accurate speedometer operation mile after mile.

What's Included

• 16-tooth speedometer driven gear with wine-colored housing

Key Features

• 17-tooth driven gear with white color coding for easy identification
• Direct fit for Ford TREMEC transmissions: T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum
• Precision-molded plastic construction for smooth, quiet operation
• Lower tooth count for higher axle ratios and/or taller tires
• Works with cable-driven mechanical speedometer systems

Description

Swapping to a 5 or 6-speed TREMEC transmission changes your final drive ratio, which means your factory speedometer gear combination no longer reads accurately. This 17-tooth white driven gear lets you recalibrate your mechanical speedometer to match your new drivetrain setup.

Speedometer driven gear selection depends on four variables: drive gear tooth count (on the output shaft), driven gear tooth count, tire diameter, and axle ratio. The 17-tooth count is typically paired with lower-numerical axle ratios or taller tires. Use a speedometer gear calculator to determine the correct tooth count for your specific combination of drive gear, rear end ratio, and tire height.

The white color coding makes this gear instantly identifiable, both in your parts bin and during installation. This precision-molded plastic gear meshes smoothly with the transmission's output shaft drive gear, delivering reliable operation without the noise or wear issues that can plague poorly-manufactured replacements.

This driven gear fits all Ford TREMEC transmissions including T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum. Whether you're building a classic Mustang, Fairlane, or any Ford platform with a mechanical speedometer, this gear helps dial in accurate speed readings after your manual transmission conversion.

Kit Includes

• 17-tooth speedometer driven gear, white plastic

Speedometer Driven Gear | Ford T5/T45/TKO/TKX/Magnum | 18-Tooth Yellow

Key Features

• 18-tooth driven gear for speedometer calibration on Ford-pattern transmissions
• Yellow color-coded for quick identification during installation and service
• Fits Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions
• Precision molded for accurate tooth engagement and long service life
• Direct replacement--installs into existing speedometer drive housing without modification

Description

When you swap in a 5- or 6-speed manual transmission, your factory speedometer gear ratio goes out the window. The new transmission's final drive ratio won't mesh with your original speedo gear, leaving your speedometer reading inaccurately--sometimes wildly so. This 18-tooth yellow driven gear lets you dial in the correct speedometer calibration for your specific tire size and rear axle ratio combination.

This driven gear fits the full range of Ford-pattern TREMEC transmissions: T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum. The industry-standard yellow color coding makes identification simple--no guessing which tooth count you're running when it's time for service or recalibration after a gear ratio change. The precision-molded construction ensures consistent tooth engagement with the drive gear for accurate, reliable speedometer readings mile after mile.

Installation is straightforward--the gear slides directly into the transmission's speedometer drive housing. If your speedometer calibration calculations call for more than 21 teeth (the maximum available driven gear size), you'll need to reduce the drive gear tooth count instead. Use a speedometer gear calculator with your tire diameter, axle ratio, and transmission drive gear tooth count to determine the correct driven gear for your application.

Kit Includes

• 18-tooth yellow speedometer driven gear

Key Features

• 19-tooth driven gear for precise speedometer calibration
• Pink color-coded for instant tooth count identification
• Fits Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and TREMEC T56 Magnum transmissions
• Essential for correcting speedometer accuracy after gear ratio or tire size changes
• Precision molded construction for reliable, long-lasting operation

Description

When you swap transmissions, change rear axle ratios, or bolt on different tire sizes, your speedometer no longer reads correctly. This 19-tooth driven gear lets you recalibrate for accurate readings by changing the gear ratio between your transmission's output and the speedometer cable. It's the driven gear -- the one that mounts to the speedometer cable end and inserts into the transmission tailhousing.

The pink color follows Ford's standardized identification system, making it easy to confirm the tooth count at a glance when you're sorting through your parts bin or comparing against your current setup. If your speedometer reads too fast with your current gear, stepping up to this 19-tooth unit will slow the reading. Each additional tooth changes the speedometer reading by approximately 5-6%. If you need an even higher tooth count, 21-tooth is the largest available in the driven gear; beyond that, you'll need to reduce the drive gear size instead.

This gear fits all Ford T5, T45, and Ford T56 transmissions, as well as all TREMEC TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum units. Installation is straightforward: remove the speedometer cable from the tailhousing, swap the driven gear, and reinstall.

What's Included

• One 19-tooth speedometer driven gear (pink)

Key Features

• 20-tooth driven gear for precise speedometer calibration
• Black color-coded for easy identification per Ford specification
• Fits Ford T5, T45, Ford T56, TREMEC T56 Magnum, TKO, and TKX transmissions
• Direct replacement for worn or incorrect factory gears
• Precision-molded plastic construction for durability and accurate engagement

Description

Transmission swaps and axle gear changes throw off speedometer accuracy - this 20-tooth driven gear gets your needle reading true again. When you install a five- or six-speed manual, the final drive ratio no longer matches your original speedometer gear, leaving you guessing at your actual speed. The correct driven gear restores accurate instrumentation so you know exactly how fast you're going.

This precision-molded driven gear is color-coded black for 20-tooth identification, following the standard Ford speedometer gear system. It pairs with the 7-tooth drive gear found on TREMEC TKO 500, TKO 600, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions to dial in speedometer accuracy for specific tire and axle combinations. Calculate your correct tooth count based on your tire diameter and rear axle ratio - if your math points to 20 teeth, this is your gear.

Note that 21 tooth is the largest driven gear size available for these applications. If your calculations call for a larger tooth count beyond 21, reducing the drive gear size provides the necessary calibration adjustment. Compatible with all Ford T5, T45, Ford T56, TREMEC T56 Magnum, and all TKO and TKX variants.

What's Included

• One 20-tooth driven speedometer gear (black)

Key Features

• 21-tooth red gear follows Ford's factory color-coding system for manual transmissions
• Largest standard driven gear tooth count available for maximum speedometer correction
• Fits all TREMEC transmissions using Ford-style speedometer systems: T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum
• Precision molded nylon construction for smooth, quiet operation and long service life
• Direct drop-in replacement--no modifications required

Description

Swapping to a 5 or 6-speed TREMEC transmission changes your final drive ratio, which throws off your factory speedometer calibration. This 21-tooth red driven gear lets you recalibrate your mechanical speedometer to read accurately with your specific tire size and rear axle ratio combination--no electronic tuner required.

Ford has used a consistent color-coding system for manual transmission speedometer gears since the 1960s: 16-tooth wine, 17-tooth white, 18-tooth yellow, 19-tooth pink, 20-tooth black, and 21-tooth red. As the largest tooth count in the standard range, this red 21-tooth gear provides maximum correction for applications with taller tires or numerically higher axle ratios. Each tooth of difference adjusts your speedometer reading approximately 5-6%, so selecting the correct count is critical for accuracy.

The driven gear installs into the speedometer housing on the tailshaft of your transmission, where it meshes with the drive gear on the output shaft. TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions come from the factory with a 7-tooth drive gear, making this 21-tooth driven gear the correct starting point for common combinations like 3.55 or 3.73 rear gears with 26-inch or taller tires. Use a speedometer gear calculator with your actual tire diameter and axle ratio to confirm the correct tooth count for your build.

This gear is compatible with Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions. The driven gear works with both cable-driven and VSS-equipped speedometer systems--just swap it into your existing housing.

What's Included

• 21-tooth red speedometer driven gear (precision molded nylon)

Key Features

• Secures driven speedometer gear for proper placement and operation in Ford T5 transmissions
• Direct replacement for original clips that have become brittle from heat exposure
• Essential component for automatic-to-manual conversions where no clip exists
• Compatible with all Ford T5 transmissions

Description

Clip-style speedometer gears require a retaining clip to lock the driven gear securely in the transmission housing, and this replacement clip delivers the secure fit your Ford T5 needs. Without a properly functioning clip, the driven speedometer gear can back out of the housing during operation, causing inaccurate speedometer readings and potential fluid loss.

Original retaining clips often become brittle after years of heat cycling in the transmission environment. If you're servicing your Ford T5, T45, T56, TKO/TKX, and Magnum speedometer gear or coming from an automatic transmission that didn't use a mechanical speedometer setup, a new retaining clip ensures your driven gear stays exactly where it needs to be. This is an inexpensive detail that makes the difference between a speedometer that works reliably and one that gives you trouble down the road.

This clip is the correct fitment for all Ford T5 transmissions and works with standard Ford-style driven speedometer gears. Keep one on hand whenever you're doing speedo gear service work.

What's Included

• One (1) retaining clip for Ford driven speedometer gear

Key Features

• 16-pulse Hall effect sensor delivers 16,000 pulses-per-mile output for accurate electronic speedometer calibration
• Direct bolt-in fitment for Ford gear drive TKO and TKX transmissions
• Three-wire design with included 10-foot pigtail harness for flexible routing and clean signal transmission
• Allen-head mounting bolt provides body clearance in tight transmission tunnel applications
• Uses standard T5 driven speedometer gears - no adapter required for low-profile installation.
• Compatible with Ford T-5, T-45, TR3550, 5-speed and 6-speed Ford T-56, and Magnum transmissions (requires Ford-driven speedometer gears and retainer clip)

Description

Swapping to a TKO or TKX five-speed means ditching the factory mechanical speedometer cable - but your electronic dash, engine management system, or cruise control still needs a reliable speed signal. This digital speedometer sensor plugs directly into the Ford-style VSS port on your TREMEC transmission's passenger-side tail housing and delivers a clean 16-pulse signal that works with the industry-standard 16,000 pulses-per-mile input most aftermarket speedometers and ECUs expect.

The three-wire Hall effect design provides a stable square wave output that won't degrade over long wire runs. The included 10-foot pigtail harness gives you plenty of length to route wiring cleanly through the tunnel and up to your dash or ECU, with a three-pin connector for easy hookup. The Allen-head mounting bolt is a thoughtful detail - standard hex-head fasteners can interfere with the sensor body in tight quarters, so this design ensures proper installation without clearance issues.

Beyond the TKO and TKX, this sensor also works with T-5z 5-speed and 6-speed Magnum transmissions when paired with Ford-driven speedometer gears and a retainer clip. Note that it does not fit Super Magnum, Magnum XL, or Magnum F transmissions - those use a different VSS configuration. If you're running a Dakota Digital, Classic Instruments, Auto Meter, or other programmable electronic speedometer, this sensor's 16,000 PPM output drops right into their standard calibration range.

What's Included

• 16-pulse digital speedometer sensor with three-pin connector
• 10-foot three-wire pigtail harness
• Allen-head mounting bolt

Description

Modern manual transmissions feature complex internal components -- multiple gear sets, clutch packs and narrow oil passageways -- that demand a steady supply of high-quality fluid to function properly. Without it, wear and sludge formation can lead to reduced performance and even catastrophic failure requiring thousands of dollars in repairs. This AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid delivers the Dexron III specification required by TREMEC transmissions while providing protection that exceeds conventional fluids.

In both normal and severe service, this synthetic ATF resists wear to the transmission's valve body, gears, clutch plates and synchronizers, helping your TREMEC achieve long service life. The thermally stable formulation guards against the harmful effects of thermal breakdown in elevated heat conditions, while resisting heat-related evaporation and viscosity loss to keep internal components clean and protected.

Formulated with friction modifiers that promote fast, smooth clutch engagement, this fluid delivers responsive shift feel and efficient torque transfer. It remains fluid in sub-zero temperatures, resisting thickening and flowing quickly for reliable shifts during cold starts. The excellent low-temperature fluidity also maximizes fuel efficiency. Seal conditioners help guard against leaks at input shaft seals and other critical points.

TREMEC TKX transmissions use Dexron III or Dexron III/Mercon specification ATF fluid, and Dexron III ATF is also recommended for T56 and TR3650 models. The T5, TKO and TKX five-speed transmissions require approximately 2.75 quarts, while six-speed Magnum transmissions require approximately 3.45 quarts. TREMEC recommends changing fluid after the initial 500-1000 mile break-in period, then every 30,000 miles thereafter.

What's Included

• One (1) quart bottle AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (Dexron III compatible)

Key Features

• 28-spline output shaft fitment for Ford T5, C4, Toploader, AOD, and AODE transmissions
• 1310 series universal joint compatibility with 1-1/16" bearing caps
• 6" overall length - short version for proper driveshaft geometry
• Cast steel construction for durability in street and performance applications
• Intentionally missing spline tooth allows transmission oil to circulate freely
• Manufactured by Neapco to OEM specifications

Description

The slip yoke is the critical link between your transmission output shaft and driveshaft - it has to match both ends perfectly or you're fighting vibration, binding, or accelerated wear. This Neapco 28-spline slip yoke solves the compatibility challenge for Ford drivetrains running T5 manual, C4 automatic, Toploader 4-speed, AOD, or AODE transmissions with 1310 series driveshafts.

At 6" overall length, this is the short variant designed for applications where existing driveshaft length is correct or close to correct. The cast steel body handles the torque demands of modified Ford powertrains while maintaining precise spline engagement with the transmission output shaft. The 1-1/16" bearing cap diameter fits standard 1310 series universal joints, making driveshaft service and U-joint replacement straightforward.

One detail you'll notice: there's a single tooth intentionally missing from the spline. This isn't a defect - it's engineered to allow transmission fluid to circulate freely within the yoke, preventing hydraulic lock and ensuring smooth operation. Neapco builds these yokes to tight tolerances for vibration-free performance.

A critical note for T5 conversions: if you're swapping from a C4 automatic or Toploader 4-speed, your existing driveshaft can often be reused if it's in good condition. However, C4 and Toploader driveshafts are typically too long for T5 applications and require cutting, re-welding, and rebalancing. Do not use this short yoke expecting it to compensate for incorrect driveshaft length - get the geometry right first. MDL provides a measuring guide to help you determine proper driveshaft dimensions for your application.
