Description

Ditch the slushbox and transform your LS-swapped '87-'93 Mustang into a proper driver's car with this complete auto-to-manual conversion package built around the TREMEC TKX 5-speed. For Fox Body builders making over 450 horsepower with their Chevy LS swap, the TKX delivers 600 lb-ft of torque capacity, smooth high-RPM shifts, and a single overdrive gear that drops cruising RPMs while dramatically increasing smiles per mile.

The TKX was designed from the ground up specifically for the aftermarket - not adapted from an OEM application. Its compact, end-loaded case uses a ribbed 3-piece aluminum housing that provides outstanding structural stiffness while fitting tighter transmission tunnels than previous designs. All gears and shafts are manufactured from special-grade ASTM 4615 steel for increased torque carrying capacity, supported by tapered roller bearings on the input, output, and countershafts, plus caged needle bearings on the main shaft for reduced noise and improved durability. The internal 3-rail shift system with steel shift forks delivers precise, notch-free engagement up to 7,500 RPM.

This fully customizable package walks you through selecting the optimal transmission ratio, LS-to-TKX bellhousing, clutch system, hydraulic release setup, shifter components, crossmember, and supporting hardware for your specific build. Multiple gear ratio options let you match your driving style and rear axle gearing - from close-ratio setups for track use to wide-ratio configurations optimized for street cruising. MDL has developed and selected the best components in the industry to provide the highest-level products available for LS-swapped Fox Bodies.

Our guided selection process and concierge service ensures you get the right parts the first time - contact us with questions at any point during configuration. Compatible with 1987-1993 Ford Mustang models equipped with Chevy LS V8 engines (LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, LS9, and LSX variants).
