Overview

If you are making over 400 horsepower and need to upgrade from a tired four-speed, the TREMEC TKX delivers everything your Ford build demands. Unlike repurposed OE transmissions, the TKX was engineered from the ground up specifically for the aftermarket - designed to handle serious power while fitting into classic Mustangs and other vintage Fords without the floor surgery typically required by larger transmissions.

The end-loaded case design is the key to the TKX's compact footprint. TREMEC eliminated the traditional side-loading architecture, resulting in a slimmer, more streamlined case that clears tight transmission tunnels. The three-piece ribbed aluminum housing (main case, intermediate plate, and rear extension) delivers outstanding structural stiffness while reducing overall weight to just 99 lbs dry. Fewer case seams mean fewer potential leak points, and gaskets at all flanges simplify installation.

Inside, the TKX punches well above its weight class. Wide gear widths increase gear life and torque capacity, while tapered roller bearings on the input, output, and countershafts reduce noise and improve durability. Caged needle bearings on the mainshaft optimize performance at all gear positions. The internal three-rail shift system provides robust, precise gear engagement, and the rear mainshaft support bushing has been relocated closer to the gearbox for improved support. Hybrid triple-cone synchronizers made from sintered bronze and carbon deliver smooth, notch-free shifts even at 7,500 RPM.

This close-ratio configuration (2.87 first gear with 0.68 overdrive) keeps your engine in its powerband during spirited driving while dropping highway RPM for improved fuel economy and reduced wear. Short input shaft kits are available for Ford 3-speed and 4-speed bellhousing applications. Made from 100% brand-new OEM-quality components.

Description

Upgrading your Ford Modular V8 to a TREMEC 5-speed? Factory Ford transmissions use a different bolt pattern than TREMEC units, making a proper bellhousing essential for any modular-to-TREMEC conversion. This Ford Performance cast aluminum bellhousing (M-6392-M46 / TREMEC TCCM1899) provides direct bolt-up compatibility between 4.6L, 5.0L 4V Ti-VCT, and 5.4L modular engines and TREMEC 3550, TKO-500, TKO-600, or TKX transmissions - no cutting, grinding, or adapter plates required.

Cast aluminum construction keeps weight down while maintaining OEM-level durability for street builds. All factory mounting positions are retained for straightforward installation, though minor modifications may be required for transmission clearance in some vehicle applications. The 7:00 o'clock fork opening position provides optimal clearance around long tube headers while maintaining proper clutch geometry.

This bellhousing supports multiple clutch actuation methods. Factory cable setups bolt right in, while internal hydraulic throwout bearings and external slave cylinders mount without modification. Whether you're building a street cruiser or track car, the versatility accommodates your preferred clutch release system.

Requires block plate MD-401-1106 for complete installation. Can also be used with Ford Performance starter index plate M-7007-A, clutch release lever M-7515-A, and bellhousing installation kit M-7771-A. Made in the USA with Ford Performance quality standards.

Description

When you're mating a Ford Modular engine to a TREMEC transmission, the bellhousing is the critical link that determines whether your drivetrain operates with precision or suffers from alignment issues that accelerate wear on input shaft bearings, pilot bushings, and clutch components. This QuickTime bellhousing eliminates those problems with spun steel cone construction that delivers dimensional accuracy lesser housings simply cannot match.

Unlike stamped or rolled bellhousings that can flex under load and lose concentricity, QuickTime's proprietary spin-forming process produces a cone that work-hardens to over 80,000 PSI - more than twice the strength of other steel bellhousings. That strength-to-weight ratio allows QuickTime to deliver a 20-pound bellhousing that keeps your engine and transmission in perfect alignment throughout the entire RPM range. The result is reduced drivetrain wear, smoother clutch engagement, and improved power transfer.

This bellhousing connects 4.6L, 5.0L (Coyote), 5.4L, 5.8L, and 6.2L Ford Modular engines to Ford TKX, TKO 500-600, TR3550, and T5 Mustang transmissions. With 6.925 inches of depth, it clears 164-tooth flywheels paired with 11-inch clutches. The universal transmission bore (4.685/4.910 inches) ensures proper fit across the supported transmission range. Universal shifter fork brackets work with both diaphragm and cable-operated linkage.

QuickTime was founded by former race car driver Ross McCombs, who developed his own bellhousings to withstand the rigors of dirt track racing. That racing DNA shows in every detail - from the patent-pending 16-point design to the Grade 8 hardware included with every kit. For SFI-certified applications, see part numbers RM-6081 and RM-6082.

Description

Proper starter-to-flywheel alignment is non-negotiable on Ford Modular engines running manual transmissions. Misalignment causes grinding engagement, premature starter failure, and ring gear damage - problems that only get worse over time. This steel starter index plate solves the issue by positioning the starter precisely where it needs to be for clean, consistent engagement every time.

The plate installs between the engine block and bellhousing, indexing the starter to ensure optimal starter drive to flywheel ring gear alignment. Built from 0.080-inch steel, the plate provides the strength needed to help contain flywheel or clutch breakage while maintaining that critical starter position under all operating conditions. The steel construction also protects the engine block face from direct contact with the bellhousing.

Engineered specifically for Ford Modular 4.6L, 5.0L Coyote, and 5.4L engines, this plate works with aluminum bellhousings for T45, 3650, and T56 Magnum transmissions. Installation is straightforward bolt-on - no modifications to the bellhousing or engine block required. Equivalent to Ford Racing M-7007-A, so you get OEM-spec fitment and performance. Note: Does not fit the Ford GT supercar application.

What's Included

• Steel starter index plate (0.080-inch thick, natural finish)

Key Features

• Transmission-to-bellhousing bolts sized specifically for Ford modular aluminum bellhousings

Description

Factory T-5 and stock Ford transmission hardware won't work when you're bolting a TREMEC TKX to a modular aluminum bellhousing - the bolt lengths are simply wrong for the application. This dedicated hardware kit solves that problem by providing transmission-to-bellhousing bolts engineered specifically for the aluminum bellhousing interface found on Ford modular engine conversions.

Why does bellhousing material matter for bolt selection? Aluminum bellhousings have different flange thicknesses than their steel counterparts, requiring specific bolt lengths to achieve proper thread engagement without bottoming out. Using the wrong hardware risks either inadequate clamping force or mechanical interference - neither of which you want in a drivetrain connection.

This kit is designed to complement Ford modular aluminum bellhousings (like the Ford Performance M-6392-M46) when paired with a TREMEC TKX transmission. Note that some bellhousing manufacturers include transmission-to-bellhousing bolts with their bellhousing - in those cases, this kit provides the remaining hardware your installation requires. If you're running a steel bellhousing, see our steel bellhousing hardware kit instead.

What's Included

• Transmission-to-bellhousing mounting bolts (aluminum bellhousing specific lengths)

Key Features

• Bolt lengths sized specifically for steel bellhousing applications - not interchangeable with aluminum bellhousing hardware
• Grade 8 steel construction for maximum clamping force and durability
• Hardened washers included for proper load distribution across mounting surfaces
• Complete hardware set for attaching Ford TKX transmission to steel bellhousings
• Compatible with QuickTime and Lakewood steel scatter shields for Ford applications
• Made in the USA

Description

When upgrading to a TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission, factory T5 transmission-to-bellhousing bolts are incompatible with TKX applications. This hardware kit provides the correct bolt lengths and grade specifically engineered for steel bellhousing installations on Ford applications. Steel bellhousings require different bolt lengths than aluminum bellhousing kits - using the wrong hardware can result in improper engagement, case damage, or unsafe mounting conditions.

This MDL hardware kit solves the sourcing headache by providing the exact fasteners needed for your steel bellhousing installation. The Grade 8 bolts deliver the clamping force necessary to handle the TKX's 600 lb-ft torque capacity, while hardened washers ensure even load distribution across the bellhousing mounting flange. Proper hardware is critical - never use transmission-to-bellhousing bolts to draw or pull the transmission up to the bellhousing, as damage to the pilot bearing and transmission case ears may result.

This kit is designed for use with popular steel scatter shields including QuickTime and Lakewood bellhousings for Ford small block applications paired with the TKX transmission. When installing, ensure the transmission is fully seated by hand against the bellhousing before torquing fasteners to specification. Made in the USA with lifetime tech support from MDL.

Street-driven 4.6L Mustangs need a flywheel that can handle daily abuse without warping or developing hot spots. Cast iron's superior thermal mass absorbs repeated clutch engagements far better than lightweight alternatives, making it the ideal choice for commuter cars, weekend cruisers, and moderate-power builds where longevity matters more than shaving rotating weight.

This flywheel is engineered specifically for Ford's 4.6L modular engines with the 6-bolt "large valley" crankshaft configuration. Romeo-built 4.6L engines use this 6-bolt pattern, while Windsor-built and Cobra engines use an 8-bolt configuration--so verify your engine's build before ordering. The zero-balanced design works with the internally balanced rotating assembly found in all 4.6L SOHC engines, eliminating the external counterweights required by older Ford V8s.

The 164-tooth ring gear ensures reliable starter engagement across all temperature conditions, while the 11-inch clutch pattern with 10.4-inch metric bolt circle accommodates standard diaphragm pressure plates from the modular Mustang era. Alignment pins are included to guarantee proper clutch disc and pressure plate positioning during installation.

Compatible with 1996-June 1999 and 2001-2010 Mustang GT vehicles equipped with the 4.6L 2V SOHC engine. [VERIFY: Why is the year 2000 excluded from fitment? Confirm whether this is intentional due to a mid-year engineering change or if it should be included.]

Description

When your high-mileage Mustang starts showing signs of a worn clutch surface or you need a reliable flywheel for a stock rebuild, this cast steel unit delivers OE-quality fitment without the premium price of billet. Designed specifically for Ford's 4.6L and 5.0L modular engine family with the 8-bolt crankshaft pattern, this flywheel provides the mass and durability street-driven vehicles need for smooth engagement and everyday drivability.

The 164-tooth ring gear ensures proper starter motor mesh across the full range of compatible applications - from '99-'10 Mustang GTs and '01-'04 SVT Cobras to modern 5.0L Coyote swaps. Zero balance (internally balanced) construction means you won't need additional counterweight balancing during installation, simplifying the job whether you're working in a professional shop or your home garage.

Cast steel offers the ideal combination of rotating mass and affordability for daily drivers and mild performance builds. The added inertia helps smooth out clutch engagement at low speeds - a real advantage over lightweight aluminum or billet units that can feel grabby in stop-and-go traffic. For dedicated track cars or high-RPM racing applications, billet steel is the better choice, but for street use and moderate performance, cast steel delivers proven reliability.

The 11" clutch bolt pattern features 12-3/8" equal spacing holes drilled for metric diaphragm pressure plates, ensuring compatibility with both OEM and aftermarket 11" clutch systems. Direct bolt-on fitment for your 4.6L 2V/4V or 5.0L Coyote manual transmission application.

Description

Factory cast iron flywheels add significant rotational mass that slows engine acceleration and dulls throttle response. This lightened billet steel flywheel cuts weight to just 27 pounds, reducing the rotating assembly mass your engine has to spin. The result is faster revs, sharper throttle response, and quicker shifts—whether you're running through the gears on the street or chasing lap times at the track.

Machined from billet steel, this flywheel delivers the durability needed for repeated high-RPM use while significantly undercutting factory weight. The 8-bolt crank pattern ensures secure attachment to the crankshaft, and the 164-tooth ring gear maintains compatibility with factory starters. Zero-balance design means no external weights are required—it bolts directly to internally balanced Ford Modular and Coyote engines.

The dual clutch bolt pattern is a standout feature. Both 10.4" metric (8mm) and 11" metric (10mm) patterns are machined into the friction surface, giving you the flexibility to run virtually any aftermarket clutch setup. The small clutch valley design takes compatibility further, accommodating everything from street-friendly single-disk clutches to high-performance twin-disk racing units. Precision-machined alignment pins ensure the clutch disc centers properly during installation.

This flywheel fits 1996-1999 and 2000-up Mustang Cobra models, 1999-2000 Mustang GT, 2005-2010 Mustang GT 4.6L, and 2011-current 5.0L/5.2L Coyote and Roadrunner V8 applications. Proudly made in the USA.

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.

When you're building or maintaining a Fox-Body Mustang with a manual transmission, using the correct clutch fork isn't optional - it's critical. This clutch lever is specifically engineered for 1979-1993 Mustangs and delivers the proper pivot geometry required for clean, consistent clutch engagement with cable-style bellhousings.

The Fox-Body clutch fork positions at the 9 o'clock location when viewed from the rear of the bellhousing - a distinctly different orientation than the SN95's 7 o'clock position. This isn't just a cosmetic difference: the lever length and pivot points are purpose-built for Fox applications. Using the wrong fork creates severe cable angle problems, premature cable wear, and inconsistent clutch feel. SN95 forks are longer with different pivot spacing and cannot be substituted.

This fork works equally well whether you're running the original cable actuation or upgrading to an external hydraulic slave cylinder. When paired with external hydraulics, the fork operates as a pusher instead of the traditional cable pull - eliminating the stretching, snapping, and binding issues that plague factory clutch cables over time. The result is smoother pedal effort and more reliable engagement, especially with high-performance clutches.

Compatible with 1979-1993 Mustang applications running TREMEC T5, TKO, or 1993 & earlier Windsor T56 transmissions. Requires a compatible cable-style small-block bellhousing for proper fitment.

What's Included

• One (1) clutch fork/lever for 1979-1993 Fox-Body Mustang

Description

The Stealth Series solves the compromises inherent in both cable-actuated clutches and conventional hydraulic conversions on Fox Body Mustangs. Cable systems bind, stretch, and create clearance nightmares with long-tube headers or high-clamp-load pressure plates. Most bolt-on hydraulic kits change pedal geometry, alter feel, or require cutting the firewall. This system does none of that - it mounts entirely behind the dash on your factory pedal hanger, uses the existing clutch cable hole for its sealed bulkhead, and retains the OEM pivot point for stock pedal feel.

The engineering centerpiece is the three-position master cylinder mounting system built into the custom clutch pedal arm. This is the only kit on the market that lets you tune pedal ratio to match your driving style and clutch setup - dial in quick engagement for autocross or progressive action for street cruising. Spherical mounting points ensure smooth, bind-free operation regardless of chassis flex, eliminating the inconsistent feel that plagues rigid-mount systems.

Installation uses existing OEM features with zero cutting or permanent modifications to the pedal support. The sealed bulkhead assembly threads into the factory clutch cable hole, keeping moisture and engine compartment fumes out of your interior while routing the -4AN stainless steel braided lines to your slave cylinder. The 2100 Series billet aluminum reservoir features a black anodized finish and redesigned cap with side-top vents to prevent water intrusion, with compact sizing for flexible mounting options.

This master cylinder kit works with most existing industry slave cylinders and hydraulic release bearings, making it compatible with T5, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum applications. The system requires a matching slave cylinder kit to complete the hydraulic clutch release system. Made in the USA and backed by lifetime technical support.

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

The factory Fox Body crossmember is a stamped steel weak link that flexes under hard launches and limits your exhaust options. This Stifflers tubular crossmember replaces that compromise with a single-tube design that delivers dramatically greater stiffness and strength - all without adding unnecessary weight to your drivetrain.

What sets this crossmember apart is its adjustability. Instead of buying separate crossmembers for different transmissions, simply slide the mounting sleeves and reposition the included spacers to accommodate both manual (T5, TR-3550, TKO) and automatic (AOD, AODE, 4R70W, C6) applications. This versatility makes it ideal for builds in progress or future transmission upgrades. The crossmember bolts directly to your factory 4.5-inch wide body mounts with no cutting, welding, or fabrication required.

Low-deflection polyurethane bushings isolate driveline vibrations and noise for street-driven cars. For racing applications where maximum rigidity matters more than NVH, the poly bushings can be replaced with optional solid mounts. The engineering maintains your pinion angle whether you're running OEM or aftermarket transmission mounts, and offset bushings allow you to raise or lower the entire crossmember if needed.

Fits 1982-1993 Mustang, Capri, and other Fox Body-based vehicles. Note: TKOs require additional spacing due to their shorter mounting pad height - all necessary hardware is included. The slim tubular profile clears aftermarket headers and exhaust systems that would interfere with the bulky factory stamping.

• 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.

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, T-45, T-56, 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.

• 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

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.
