Description

Converting a '96-'98 Mustang from automatic to manual is one of the most rewarding upgrades you can do to the SN95 platform, but the OEM T-45 that came in these cars has a weak 10-spline input shaft that limits power handling. The TREMEC TKX solves that problem with a 26-spline input, 31-spline output, and 600 lb-ft torque capacity that can handle serious power output from your modular 4.6L. If you're making over 450 hp, this is the transmission upgrade that matches your ambition.

The TKX's all-new end-loading design was engineered specifically for aftermarket installations. A slimmer case profile improves tunnel clearance, while the ribbed three-piece aluminum housing (main case, intermediate plate, and rear extension) delivers outstanding structural stiffness. Multi-cone synchronizers with carbon-fiber/sintered-bronze hybrid construction enable crisp, confident shifts at engine speeds up to 7,500 RPM. Gaskets at all flanges simplify installation and eliminate fluid leaks--a common headache with older transmission designs.

This package builder guides you through every decision required for a complete automatic-to-manual conversion. Select your TKX gear ratio configuration (wide-ratio 3.27:1 first gear or close-ratio 2.87:1 first gear with your choice of 0.68 or 0.81 overdrive), then match bellhousing, flywheel, clutch kit, hydraulic system components, crossmember, and driveshaft yoke to your specific build. The configurator accounts for both SOHC and DOHC 4.6L variations and ensures every component works together as a system.

MDL selects only the highest-quality components for these conversion packages. From ARP fasteners to application-specific crossmembers and reverse light wiring harnesses, everything you need ships together so you're not chasing parts mid-swap. Lifetime tech support included--call anytime you have questions during your build.
