Description

Ditch the slush box and take control. This complete TREMEC TKX conversion package transforms your '61-'64 Galaxie from automatic to a true five-speed manual, purpose-built for Ford Modular V8 swaps. Whether you're running a 4.6L or 5.4L, this package solves the fitment puzzle with components specifically selected for the Galaxie chassis and Modular bellhousing bolt pattern.

The TKX represents TREMEC's ground-up aftermarket design, built to handle the power your Modular makes while fitting where factory four-speeds lived. The three-piece ribbed aluminum housing delivers outstanding structural stiffness, while oversized gear widths and caged needle bearings in all positions ensure long-term durability under hard use. Multi-cone synchronizers with hybrid carbon-bronze rings deliver crisp, notch-free shifts even at 7,500 RPM, making this transmission as satisfying on a Sunday cruise as it is at wide-open throttle.

MDL's package approach means every component works together. The hydraulic clutch system provides consistent pedal effort without the hassle of cable routing or periodic adjustment. The clutch pedal assembly mounts cleanly in your Galaxie, and pre-bent hydraulic lines simplify installation. A hydraulic release bearing handles engagement at the transmission, eliminating fork-related clutch issues common in high-horsepower applications.

This conversion is designed for Galaxies using the four-speed transmission tunnel and console, placing the shifter in a natural, period-correct position while giving you modern five-speed capability. Our guided package selection walks you through every choice, from transmission gear ratios to shift knob style. Need help making selections? MDL offers concierge service to ensure you get exactly the right parts for your build and budget.
