Description

The TREMEC T56 Magnum TUET16884 solves the torque limitation that plagued the original T56. Introduced in spring 2009, the Magnum delivers a massive 700 lb-ft torque capacity through substantially increased gear face widths and 2-piece laser-beam welded gear construction. Based heavily on the TR-6060 found in factory supercars like the ZR1 Corvette and ACR Viper, the Magnum combines TREMEC's OEM design and manufacturing technologies with the most popular features of the TKO 5-speed.

This TUET16884 features the wide-ratio gear set with 2.97 first gear and close-ratio 0.80/0.63 double overdrive—ideal for street-driven builds that need strong acceleration through the lower gears while maintaining relaxed highway cruising RPM. The 85mm center distance and bolstered one-piece countershaft resist distortion under load, while redesigned shift forks and fine-tooth synchronizer angles deliver incredibly short, low-effort throws with crisp engagement even at high RPM.

Triple-cone synchronizers on gears 1 through 4 and double-cone synchronizers on 5th, 6th, and reverse handle aggressive shifts with ease. The fully reversible TKO-style die-cast aluminum shifter provides smooth, positive shift action with two stock shifter positions, plus built-in mid-shift provisions under the inspection cover for simple forward shifter placement in bench-seat applications. Dual speedometer outputs accommodate both mechanical and electronic gauges, and the reverse lockout solenoid and reverse light switch are built in.

Configured for Ford applications with a 26-spline input shaft and 31-spline output shaft. Compatible with cable release clutch systems via the included hardened steel guide tube. The extensively modified transmission case prevents leaks under high-stress conditions and increases overall power-handling capabilities. Uses 3.66 quarts of TREMEC HP-MTF, Dexron III, or Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF.

Description

When your Ford build demands more than a 5-speed can deliver but you refuse to compromise on shift quality, the TREMEC T56 Magnum answers the call. This close-ratio TUET11010 variant keeps RPM drops tight between gears - ideal for road racing, autocross, and spirited street driving where staying in the powerband matters. The 2.66 first gear pulls hard off the line, while the double overdrive (0.80 fifth, 0.63 sixth) drops highway RPMs dramatically for quiet, fuel-efficient cruising.

The Magnum is TREMEC's aftermarket version of the TR-6060 - the same transmission found in factory supercars like the Corvette ZR1 and Viper ACR. The 85mm center distance provides a larger gear contact patch and stronger case than the original T56, supporting 700 lb-ft of torque capacity. Triple-cone synchronizers on gears 1-4 and double-cone synchronizers on 5-6 and reverse deliver accurate, smooth shifts even at high RPM. The fully reversible die-cast aluminum shifter provides incredibly short, low-effort throws with crisp engagement.

This Ford-pattern Magnum requires a separate bellhousing and pairs with V8 Ford engines from small-block Windsors to modular 4.6/5.0 Coyote applications with the appropriate bellhousing. The hardened steel guide tube accepts standard mechanical clutch fork designs, making it a straightforward swap for classic Mustang builds. Dual speedometer provisions handle both electronic and mechanical gauges, while the built-in reverse lockout and reverse light switch simplify wiring.

Description

When TREMEC introduced the T56 Magnum in 2009, it solved the problem builders had been chasing for years: how to get bulletproof six-speed strength with OEM-level refinement in an aftermarket package. Based heavily on the TR-6060 - the same transmission found in factory supercars - the Magnum combines TREMEC's current OEM design and manufacturing technologies with the most popular features of their TKO 5-speed. The result is the smoothest-shifting, strongest, and most versatile 6-speed aftermarket transmission TREMEC has ever produced.

This TUET11011 features the wide-ratio 2.97 first gear, making it ideal for street-driven builds that want strong off-the-line acceleration without sacrificing highway drivability. The 0.74 fifth and 0.50 sixth gears deliver true double overdrive, dropping RPM for relaxed cruising and improved fuel economy. Spring-loaded ball-type synchronizer inserts reduce friction and eliminate notchy shifting, resulting in incredibly short, smooth shifts with crisp engagement.

The engineering upgrades over the original T56 are substantial. Face widths of the gears have been significantly widened to handle more torque, while redesigned one-piece shift forks with permanently mounted shift links eliminate the float and incomplete engagement that plagued earlier designs. The 85mm center distance provides the robust gear geometry needed to handle 700 lb-ft reliably. Multiple shifter locations accommodate different builds, and the reversible shifter assembly allows changing shift lever position simply by flipping the shift cover.

Compatible with Ford modular engines using the appropriate bellhousing (sold separately). Uses Dexron III ATF - no exotic fluids required. Made in the USA by TREMEC.

What's Included

• TREMEC T56 Magnum transmission assembly (TUET11011)

Description

The QuickTime RM-8031 steel bellhousing connects Ford 289, 302, 351W, and 351C small block engines to Ford T-56 and T-56 Magnum 6-speed transmissions. When you're running deep into the elevens or faster, safety regulations demand an SFI 6.1 certified bellhousing -- and the RM-8031 delivers that certification along with engineering that sets the standard for the industry.

What separates QuickTime from the competition is their proprietary spin-forming process. Unlike rolled or stamped bellhousings that introduce stress concentrations and dimensional inconsistencies, the spun cone work-hardens during manufacturing to over 80,000 PSI tensile strength -- more than double the strength of conventional steel bellhousings. This high material strength allows the bellhousing to remain lightweight while providing the scatter shield protection that high-horsepower builds demand.

Dimensional accuracy matters because bellhousing flex and misalignment accelerate drivetrain wear and rob horsepower. QuickTime's manufacturing process produces the most dimensionally stable bellhousings available, keeping your engine and transmission in perfect alignment through the entire RPM range. The 7:00 clutch fork position accommodates both cable and hydraulic clutch linkages, while the 5.34-inch height and 157-tooth flywheel specification (10.5-inch maximum clutch diameter) ensure proper starter engagement and clutch clearance.

This is a universal-fit bellhousing designed for street, strip, and circle track applications -- not vehicle-specific. Note: Transmission mounting bolts are not included; QuickTime's RM-170 bolt kit (8pcs 10mm x 1.5 x 30mm) is available separately for T56 applications. Made in the USA.

What's Included

• QuickTime RM-8031 SFI 6.1 certified steel bellhousing
• Hardware and instructions

Key Features

• Complete transmission-to-bellhousing bolt set for Ford T56 Magnum installations
• Designed specifically for steel aftermarket bellhousings
• Metric fasteners with proper thread pitch for TREMEC T56 Magnum mounting holes
• Eliminates hardware sourcing headaches during your Ford 6-speed swap

Description

Aftermarket steel bellhousings typically ship with bellhousing-to-engine-block hardware only, leaving you to source the bolts needed to attach the transmission itself. This MDL hardware kit solves that problem for Ford T56 Magnum installations by providing the exact fasteners required to mount the transmission to any steel aftermarket bellhousing.

The kit is purpose-built for steel bellhousing applications. Steel bellhousings have different material thickness than aluminum units, requiring specific bolt lengths for proper thread engagement without bottoming out. Using the wrong hardware can result in insufficient thread engagement or bolts that bind before the transmission face seats flush. This kit takes the guesswork out of the equation.

Compatible with all steel aftermarket bellhousings that accept the Ford version of the TREMEC T56 Magnum 6-speed transmission. If you're pairing your Magnum with an aluminum bellhousing, you'll need the AL version of this kit instead, as aluminum bellhousings use different bolt lengths. This kit covers transmission-to-bellhousing mounting only; bellhousing-to-engine-block hardware is typically supplied by the bellhousing manufacturer.

What's Included

• Complete set of transmission-to-bellhousing mounting bolts [VERIFY: exact bolt count, thread size, and grade]

Clutch Lever | 1994-2004 Mustang | T5, T45, 3650, 4.6L T-56

Key Features

• Fits all 1994-2004 Mustang manual transmissions: T5, T45, 3650, and 4.6L T-56
• 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

Key Features

• Aluminum quadrant replaces failure-prone OE plastic unit for long-term reliability
• Fully adjustable cable at the clutch fork for precise pedal engagement tuning
• Self-adjusting cable with high-lubricity liner for smooth operation and consistent pedal feel
• Complete kit - includes all components needed to convert stock non-adjustable setup
• Direct-fit Ford Performance engineering (M-7553-B302) for 1982-1995 V8 Mustangs
• Compatible with OE Bendix 8-inch brake boosters
• Pull-style clutch fork applications only

Description

The factory plastic clutch quadrant in Fox-body and SN95 Mustangs is a notorious weak point - it cracks under stress, degrades with heat cycling, and when it fails, you're stuck. This Ford Performance Adjustable Clutch Cable Kit (M-7553-B302) solves both the reliability and adjustability problems in a single upgrade, replacing the fragile OE quadrant with a machined aluminum unit and adding full cable adjustability at the clutch fork.

The self-adjusting cable features a high-lubricity liner that delivers smooth operation and improved pedal feel compared to worn stock components. Unlike the OE setup, this kit lets you dial in clutch pedal travel to match your driving habits - whether you prefer a stock-like feel or need to accommodate an aggressive aftermarket clutch setup with different engagement characteristics.

This is a complete conversion kit engineered by Ford Performance. All necessary hardware is included to convert your stock non-adjustable clutch cable to a fully adjustable type - no additional parts to source, no surprises mid-install. The aluminum quadrant construction stands up to abusive track use and aggressive driving that would destroy the plastic OE component.

Fits 1982-1995 V8 Mustangs with manual transmissions. This kit requires a pull-style clutch fork and will not work with push-style applications. Compatible with OE Bendix 8-inch brake boosters but not Midland brake boosters (band clamp style) or certain aftermarket 8-inch and larger units. Note: If running headers, shorties with at least one inch of clearance are recommended - excessive heat from headers can damage the cable's outer casing and restrict movement.

What's Included

• Ford Performance adjustable clutch cable with high-lubricity liner
• Machined aluminum quadrant (replaces plastic OE unit)
• All necessary mounting hardware
• Ford Performance installation instructions

• Secures clutch cable to bellhousing and prevents cable movement
• Direct fit for all 1979-2004 Mustang manual transmission applications

Description

A missing or broken clutch cable retaining clip is a common headache on Fox-body, SN95, and New Edge Mustangs. Without it, your clutch cable can slip and shift inside the bellhousing, leading to inconsistent pedal feel, premature cable wear, and potential binding. This simple but critical clip keeps everything locked in place.

This retaining clip slides into the groove of the clutch cable after it passes through the bellhousing. Once seated, it holds the cable securely and prevents any lateral movement during clutch operation. The spring steel construction provides the right balance of flexibility for installation and the rigidity needed to maintain a solid hold under repeated cycling.

Engineered as an exact reproduction of the original Ford part, this clip delivers OE fit and function across all 1979-2004 Mustang models equipped with a cable-actuated clutch. Whether you are replacing a lost clip during a transmission swap or restoring proper clutch feel on a daily driver, this is the correct part for the job.

What's Included

• Spring steel clutch cable retaining clip (1)

Description

Hydraulic clutch systems demand leak-free, pressure-resistant fluid lines that won't degrade over time or expand under load. This 24-inch stainless steel braided line delivers the durability and consistent pedal feel that separates a professional hydraulic clutch installation from a compromise. The PTFE (Teflon) inner lining provides excellent chemical compatibility with all common hydraulic fluids while resisting the swelling and deterioration that plague standard rubber lines.

The stainless steel braided construction prevents expansion under pressure, maintaining a firm, responsive clutch pedal. Unlike rubber hoses that can balloon and soften pedal feel, stainless braided PTFE lines keep the inner diameter uniform for efficient fluid transfer. The clear plastic outer coating shields the braid from abrasion, contamination, and corrosion while letting you visually inspect line condition at a glance.

At 24 inches with a 1/4-inch I.D., this line is sized specifically for hydraulic clutch applications. It's an excellent choice when pairing a Tilton 6000 HRB with an -4AN male union to a firewall-mounted or bulkhead-mounted master cylinder. The straight -4AN female fittings on both ends connect directly to standard -4AN male adapters without additional fittings, reducing potential leak points and simplifying installation.

Every line is pressure tested before leaving the facility to verify seal integrity. Premium stainless steel crimp sleeves and fittings ensure a permanent, vibration-resistant connection. Proudly manufactured in the United States.

Description

Running a classic Ford small block and want flexibility in your clutch setup? This dual-pattern cast iron flywheel eliminates the one-flywheel-per-clutch-size limitation that plagues so many builds. The machined face accepts both the 10" long-style diaphragm clutches found in vintage applications and the 10.4" metric diaphragm clutches used on high-performance '79–'01 Mustangs — so you can start with a stock-style clutch and upgrade to a higher-capacity unit later without pulling the flywheel.

Cast iron construction delivers the rotating mass needed for civilized street manners: smooth idle, progressive engagement, and excellent heat absorption during stop-and-go driving. The 157-tooth ring gear mates with the smaller-diameter bellhousings and starters common on '64–'68 Mustangs and other early Ford small block applications. Precision machining ensures a flat, true friction surface that improves clutch performance and reduces vibration.

The 28oz external imbalance is correct for pre-1981 Ford Windsor and Cleveland engines — 260, 289, 302, 351W, and 351C. (Post-1981 5.0L engines use a 50oz imbalance; verify your engine's balance before ordering.) The 6-bolt crank pattern with 7/16" hardware provides a secure connection to the crankshaft flange.

Compatible with 3-speed, 4-speed, and T5 5-speed manual transmissions. While cast iron flywheels work for light motorsports use, understand the RPM and load limits — billet steel offers better stability for sustained high-RPM or competition applications.

Description

When Ford switched the 302 to the 5.0L designation in 1981, they also changed the external balance from 28oz to 50oz. That means every '81-'95 5.0L Windsor needs a flywheel with the correct counterweight to maintain proper engine balance and eliminate vibration. This cast iron flywheel delivers exactly that - the right balance for your late-model small-block Ford, with the 157-tooth ring gear that mates to standard small-block bellhousings and starters.

The 10.4" metric clutch pattern is a Ford-specific design that uses alignment pins rather than shouldered bolts to locate the pressure plate. These equalizing pins ensure precise concentricity between the pressure plate and flywheel - critical for smooth clutch engagement and even wear. The metric pattern accommodates modern diaphragm-style pressure plates with 8mm hardware, making it compatible with factory and aftermarket clutch assemblies designed for '83-'95 Mustangs and other 5.0L applications.

Cast iron provides the strength and thermal stability needed for street duty, absorbing and dissipating heat through repeated clutch engagements without the hot spots that can develop on lighter materials. At 19 lbs, this flywheel maintains enough rotational mass for smooth idle and progressive engagement - the kind of drivability you want in a daily driver or weekend cruiser. The 6-bolt crankshaft pattern bolts directly to the factory crank flange with no adapters or modifications required.

Description

Factory cast iron flywheels become the weak link when you push serious power through a 5.0L Windsor. Cast iron is prone to stress cracking under repeated high-RPM clutch engagement, and a cracked flywheel at speed is a catastrophic failure waiting to happen. This lightened billet steel flywheel delivers the strength needed for high-performance street builds and competition use while shaving weight to improve engine response.

Billet steel is considerably stronger than cast iron and remains free of the stress cracks that plague factory flywheels under heavy use. The lightened design reduces rotational mass compared to standard-weight flywheels, allowing faster throttle response on acceleration and quicker RPM drop on deceleration - a noticeable improvement whether you're rowing through gears on the street or chasing lap times. The 50oz external balance matches factory 5.0L engine specifications for 1981-1995 applications, ensuring smooth operation with no vibration.

The dual clutch pattern provides flexibility in clutch selection, accepting both 10.5" metric diaphragm pressure plates and 10" long-style setups. Metric alignment pins come pre-installed to ensure proper clutch disc centering during installation. Note that diaphragm clutches require metric pressure plate bolts (MD-403-2003 or MD-403-2003ARP), while the 10" long pattern uses 5/16" bolts (MD-403-2004).

Engineered for Ford small block Windsor engines with 157-tooth starter ring gear applications. Fits all 1981-1995 Ford 5.0L engines requiring 50oz external balance. Proudly made in the USA using US-milled billet steel.

Description

When your build pushes past 500hp and you still want to drive it on the street, single-disc clutches start showing their limits. The McLeod RXT twin disc clutch kit delivers 1,000hp holding capacity in a package that maintains street manners - soft pedal effort, smooth engagement, and the kind of durability that lets you drive to the track, run quarter-mile passes, and drive home without drama.

The engineering centers on dual ceramic friction discs mounted to a Blanchard ground floater plate. The ceramic facings provide slightly aggressive engagement with excellent release characteristics - enough grip for serious power without the on-off grabbiness that makes some racing clutches miserable in traffic. The floater plate distributes heat across both friction surfaces, preventing the hot spots that kill single-disc setups under sustained abuse. McLeod's diaphragm pressure plate maintains consistent clamping force throughout the disc's lifespan while actually delivering lighter-than-stock pedal effort.

This kit uses McLeod's patent-pending large gold metric adapter ring, eliminating the need for a dedicated flywheel. The adapter ring bolts directly to flat-style metric flywheels found on Ford 164T Modular engines (4.6L, 5.0L Coyote, 5.4L) and GM 168T LS1/LS6 applications. Critical note: this kit will NOT fit factory 2011-17 Coyote flywheels, recessed LS2/LS3/LS7 flywheels, or flywheels with crank reliefs larger than 6.250 inches in diameter. The 1-1/8-inch x 26-spline input shaft fits T-45, TR-3650, T-56, TR-6060, and TREMEC Magnum transmissions with 26-spline inputs.

Break-in requires 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving to properly seat the friction surfaces - no drag racing or dyno pulls until you've actuated the clutch 1,200-1,500 times. Always resurface the flywheel with a coarse stone-ground finish, replace the pilot bearing, and verify bellhousing alignment during installation. This kit does not include a pilot bearing or throwout bearing.

What's Included

Description

Worn, faded shift knobs kill the look of an otherwise clean build - and cheap replacements crack, fade, or spin loose within a season. MDL's 6-Speed Black Shift Ball solves both problems with a high-impact polymer resin formulation specifically engineered for the automotive industry. This isn't generic plastic - it's a performance-grade compound designed to resist stress cracking with age while handling the torque and temperature extremes of hard driving.

The white 6-speed shift pattern is subsurface - meaning it's embedded beneath the outer layer, not printed or painted on top. It won't wear off from palm contact, won't fade from UV exposure, and won't peel at the edges. The 16mm x 1.50 brass master insert is equally overbuilt, exceeding the auto industry's specification of 200 ft. lbs. static pull and 20 ft. lbs. twist torque. Precision machining and polishing deliver a high-gloss finish that looks as good as it feels.

The 16mm thread pitch fits most aftermarket performance shifters directly. If your shifter uses a different thread size, MDL stocks thread adapters to match - just know your shifter's thread pitch when ordering so we can recommend the right reducer. This universal approach makes the shift ball compatible with Ford, GM, and Mopar applications when properly matched to your shifter.

At 4 ounces with a 1-7/8" diameter, this shift ball delivers ergonomic comfort and balanced weight for crisp, confident throws. Made in the USA with the quality standards serious builders demand.

Description

Upgrading your Fox Body to a modern TREMEC transmission means dealing with one persistent headache: the factory crossmember wasn't designed for it. This Stifflers tubular crossmember solves the fitment problem while delivering chassis stiffness and strength that the stamped-steel OEM unit simply cannot match.

The unique single-tube design is the key differentiator here. Where conventional crossmembers force you to choose a specific transmission fitment, Stifflers' adjustable sleeve-and-spacer system lets you configure one crossmember for multiple applications. Simply slide the mounting sleeves and reposition the spacers to dial in fitment for T45, T56, T56 Magnum, Magnum XL, or TR-3650 transmissions. This eliminates the guesswork and custom fabrication that plague most swap projects.

Engineering matters beyond just fitment. This crossmember bolts directly to your factory 4.5"-wide body mounts with zero modification required, while maintaining your existing pinion angle whether you're running OEM or aftermarket transmission mounts. The slim tubular profile also creates significantly more exhaust clearance than the bulky factory unit - a real advantage when running aftermarket headers or larger-diameter exhaust systems.

Low-deflection polyurethane bushings provide a firmer mount than factory rubber while still isolating driveline vibrations and NVH from the chassis. For dedicated track cars where maximum rigidity is required, the poly bushings can be swapped for solid bushings (sold separately). Compatible with 1982-1993 Ford Mustang and Mercury Capri Fox Body applications.

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.

• 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.

• 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

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.

Description

When you install a TREMEC transmission in your build, you need a clean way to send speed data to your electronic speedometer or ECU. This harness provides the critical link between your transmission's output speed sensor (OSS) and your vehicle's existing Ford-style VSS wiring. It's designed specifically for the two-wire analog speed sensor output found on Ford and GM TREMEC Magnum transmissions, as well as Ford TKX, TKO, and T45/3650 units.

The terminals are constructed from tin-plated brass, which resists corrosion and maintains solid electrical contact even in harsh underhood environments. This matters because intermittent speed signals cause erratic speedometer readings and can throw off ECU calculations that rely on vehicle speed data. The Ford VSS connector style was used across a wide range of 1987-1995 Ford vehicles, making this harness the right choice when you're tying into an existing Ford wiring harness or EFI system from that era.

This harness is the simple, direct solution for builders running electronic speedometers with TREMEC 5- and 6-speed transmissions. Whether you're completing a resto-mod Mustang with modern gauges or wiring a GM-pattern Magnum into a classic muscle car, this connector eliminates guesswork and custom splicing.

What's Included

• Electronic speedometer harness with tin-plated brass terminals
• Ford VSS-style two-wire connector

Key Features

• Factory-style 2-wire connector plugs directly into T56 reverse lockout solenoid
• Pre-wired pigtail eliminates custom splicing and unreliable field connections
• Compatible with TREMEC T56 6-speed transmissions
• Essential for wiring to aftermarket reverse lockout control modules, brake switches, or manual toggles

Description

The TREMEC T56 6-speed uses a reverse lockout solenoid to prevent accidental shifts into reverse while attempting to engage 5th gear--a real concern because reverse and 5th are positioned dangerously close in the shift gate. When swapping a T56 into a classic vehicle originally equipped with a T5, T45, or older 4/5-speed transmission, the factory electronics lack support for this solenoid, leaving builders without a clean way to wire the lockout system.

This pre-wired solenoid harness provides the electrical connection your reverse lockout needs. The factory-style connector snaps directly onto the solenoid mounted on the transmission case, eliminating the guesswork and potential wiring errors that come with spliced connections. The solenoid operates simply: when energized at low vehicle speeds, the lockout retracts to allow reverse engagement; de-energized at higher speeds, it mechanically blocks the shift gate from entering reverse.

Use this harness to connect the solenoid to an aftermarket reverse lockout control module (speed-based), a brake pedal switch circuit, or a manual dashboard toggle. The harness gives you the clean starting point you need for whatever activation method you choose--just run your control wiring to this pigtail and plug into the transmission.

Compatible with all TREMEC T56 6-speed transmissions. A simple, inexpensive component that prevents frustrating wiring headaches during your swap or build.

Description

When you swap a TREMEC T56, T56 Magnum, or TR6060 into a classic or performance build, you lose the factory computer's ability to control the reverse lockout solenoid. Without proper control, the transmission becomes prone to inadvertent grinding into reverse gear while attempting to shift into 5th - a common problem since these gears are located very close to each other in the shift pattern. Manual workarounds like wiring to the brake light switch create their own problems: you can step on the brake at highway speed and still accidentally engage reverse.

This Reverse Lockout Control Module solves the problem with intelligent speed-based control. The heart of this module is a microprocessor that continuously monitors vehicle speed through the VSS signal. At low vehicle speeds, the reverse lockout solenoid is energized, retracting the blocking pin and allowing you to shift smoothly into reverse. Above approximately 5 MPH, the module de-energizes the solenoid, locking out reverse gear access and preventing costly transmission damage from an accidental shift. This creates factory-like operation without the need for an OEM PCM or ECM.

The six-wire harness simplifies installation with dedicated circuits: two wires for switched power and ground, two wires for VSS signal input from the transmission speed sensor, and two wires for solenoid output. The integrated inline fuse protects the circuit. While the module features weather-resistant construction, mounting inside the vehicle interior is recommended for maximum longevity. The system requires no special programming or calibration - wire it up and it works.

This module is essential for any T56-family transmission swap where the factory computer control is unavailable. It controls the reverse lockout solenoid found on all Borg Warner and TREMEC T56, Magnum, and TR6060 transmissions, restoring the safety and convenience of proper reverse lockout operation that these transmissions were designed to have.

This Neapco 31-spline forged steel slip yoke delivers the strength and precision fit required for Ford TKO, C6, and FMX transmissions, providing a direct-fit solution for street performance builds.

Forged steel construction eliminates the porosity and stress risers inherent in cast yokes. The result is a stronger, more consistent part that handles torque loads without cracking or deformation. The 1310 Series U-joint is rated for 400 lb-ft of continuous torque and 800 lb-ft short-duration loads--making this combination well-suited for street-driven cars producing up to approximately 500 hp, provided traction is managed with street tires rather than slicks.

Neapco's precision broaching process produces tight-tolerance spline fits that mate smoothly with the transmission output shaft. This accuracy, combined with reduced end play in the universal joint, minimizes driveline vibration and extends component life. The outside snap ring design allows for straightforward U-joint service when maintenance is eventually needed.

This slip yoke fits Ford transmissions with 31-spline output shafts, including the Ford TKO, C6 automatic, and FMX automatic. If your application requires higher torque capacity, consider upgrading to a 1330 or 1350 Series yoke and matching driveshaft components.

Description

Upgrading to a TREMEC transmission puts serious torque capacity in your drivetrain, but your existing slip yoke often becomes the weak link. TREMEC TKO, TKX, and Magnum transmissions all feature a 31-spline output shaft that requires a matching slip yoke to handle the increased power these transmissions deliver. This MDL slip yoke solves that problem with cast steel construction and 1350 series U-joint capacity.

The 31-spline output shaft on TREMEC performance transmissions uses the same diameter as Ford C6 automatics—a proven design that has been handling serious torque for decades. The 1350 series U-joint provides a 1-3/16" cap diameter and 3.625" overall width, delivering significantly more strength than the smaller 1310 series joints found in many factory drivelines. When you're pushing 600 lb-ft of torque capacity through a TKO or TKX, you need driveline components that can keep up.

This slip yoke is designed for Ford applications but works with any TREMEC transmission featuring the standard 31-spline output shaft, including the TKO-500, TKO-600, TKX, and T56 Magnum. Whether you're building a street machine that sees weekend abuse or a dedicated track car, this yoke provides the strength and reliability your upgraded drivetrain demands.
