Description

Converting your '64.5-'65 Mustang from automatic to manual delivers the driving experience these classics deserve. This complete T5 conversion package centers around TREMEC's smallest and most compact transmission - a unit that fits where others simply cannot, making it ideal for early Mustangs where tunnel clearance is tight and every inch matters.

The heart of this package is the TREMEC T5 Super Duty 5-speed, rated for 330 lb-ft of torque and suitable for street cars up to 450 horsepower on DOT-approved tires. The 2.95:1 first gear provides strong takeoff performance while the deep 0.63:1 overdrive dramatically reduces highway RPMs - improving fuel economy, lowering engine temperatures, and creating a quieter, more comfortable cruising experience. At just 75 lbs dry, the T5 is the lightest transmission in the TREMEC lineup, which translates directly to better weight distribution and handling in your classic pony car.

The QuickTime steel bellhousing delivers the dimensional precision and safety that performance builds demand. Unlike stamped or rolled bellhousings, QuickTime's spun cone manufacturing process creates the most dimensionally stable bellhousing available - eliminating drivetrain flex that causes premature wear and robs horsepower. Built from high-grade steel that work hardens to over 80,000 PSI, this bellhousing provides more than twice the strength of conventional steel designs. SFI 6.1 certification means peace of mind whether you're cruising to a show or making passes at the strip. Designed specifically for early 260 and 289 5-bolt block patterns, this bellhousing mates your engine to the T5, TKO, or TR3550 transmission with pinpoint accuracy.

MDL's custom offset shifter positions the shift lever precisely in the factory console opening, maintaining the stock interior appearance while giving you five-speed capability. The package supports your choice of clutch actuation - use the original mechanical linkage, upgrade to a clutch cable, or convert to a modern hydraulic release system. Every component is selected to work together as a complete system, backed by MDL's lifetime technical support.
