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

Adding a modern overdrive transmission behind your Ford FE big block means solving the bellhousing puzzle - and cheap adapters just create new problems. The QuickTime RM-6056 delivers the dimensional precision that keeps your drivetrain aligned and your clutch releasing cleanly, whether you're bolting up a TKO, TKX, T5 Mustang, or TR3550 behind your 352, 360, 390, 427, or 428 FE.

QuickTime's proprietary spin-forming process creates a fundamentally different bellhousing than competitors. Where others stamp or roll their cones - introducing distortion and stress risers - QuickTime spins theirs from high-grade steel that work-hardens to over 80,000 PSI. That's more than twice the strength of conventional steel bellhousings. The result is a cone that maintains perfect dimensional stability through the entire RPM range, eliminating the flex that causes accelerated input bearing wear, pilot bushing failure, and power loss.

The RM-6056 features a 7.05-inch bellhousing depth paired with a universal transmission bore that accepts Ford T5, TKO500/600, TKX, and TR3550 input bearing retainers. It handles up to a 184-tooth flywheel with a 12-inch clutch and works with both Ford OE mechanical fork linkage and hydraulic throwout bearing systems. This is a universal-fit bellhousing, not vehicle-specific, making it the go-to solution for FE swaps and custom builds where factory pieces don't exist.

Note: This bellhousing is NOT SFI 6.1 certified. Many sanctioning bodies require SFI certification for cars running 11.49 or faster in the quarter mile - if that's your application, look for the RM-6056SFI. Founded by former dirt track racer Ross McCombs, QuickTime earned their reputation building bellhousings tough enough for racing abuse. Every RM-6056 is manufactured in the United States.

What's Included

• QuickTime RM-6056 spun steel bellhousing

Overview

Bolting a modern TREMEC 5-speed behind a classic Ford FE big block demands a bellhousing that won't compromise alignment under high-RPM loads. The QuickTime RM-6056SFI delivers SFI 6.1 certification for sanctioned competition while providing the dimensional accuracy that keeps your drivetrain aligned from idle to redline.

What separates QuickTime from conventional steel bellhousings is their exclusive spin-forming process. Rather than rolling or stamping the cone - processes that introduce stress risers and dimensional inconsistencies - QuickTime spins each cone from high-grade steel. This spin-forming process work-hardens the material to over 80,000 PSI tensile strength, delivering more than twice the strength of other steel bellhousings while maintaining the dimensional stability that prevents binding and premature drivetrain wear.

The RM-6056SFI bridges Ford FE engines (352, 360, 390, 427, 428, and 410 Mercury) to Ford-pattern TREMEC transmissions including the T5, TKO-500, TKO-600, TKX, and TR-3550. The dual transmission bore diameter (4.850-inch/4.910-inch) ensures proper fit across these applications. This bellhousing requires a 184-tooth flywheel and accommodates clutch discs up to 12 inches in diameter. Clutch release is your choice - the design accepts mechanical linkage, cable actuation, or hydraulic slave cylinder setups.

QuickTime holds patents on 16 points of bellhousing design and manufacturing process, developed with input from OEMs, engine builders, transmission builders, and racers. When you need the strength for serious horsepower and the precision to protect your investment, this is the bellhousing that delivers. Made 100% 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.

Description

Anyone who's wrestled a clutch pedal into a '67-'68 Mustang or Cougar knows the factory design creates an installation headache - the original one-piece pivot shaft requires moving or removing the entire pedal support bracket just to get the pedal in place. This OEM-replacement clutch pedal solves that problem with a removable pivot shaft that lets you install the pedal without disturbing the support bracket already mounted under the dash.

The engineering is straightforward: slide the pedal into position, then insert and secure the pivot shaft from the side. This two-piece design dramatically simplifies installation whether you're replacing a worn factory clutch pedal or converting an automatic car to manual. The pedal is designed to work with all factory pedal supports, so you can reuse your existing bracket regardless of whether the car originally came with an automatic or manual transmission.

When converting from automatic, the stock brake pedal is simply trimmed on the left side to create clearance for the clutch pedal - no need to source a separate manual-transmission brake pedal. Laser-cut construction with CNC bends ensures the pedal matches factory dimensions and pivot geometry, while the powder coat finish provides long-lasting durability and a clean appearance that matches restored or restomod interiors.

Note: When using with a clutch cable or hydraulic clutch release system, the pedal return spring is not used. For mechanical Z-bar linkage setups, the included spring pivot point provides the factory return-spring attachment location.

What's Included

• Clutch pedal assembly with removable pivot shaft
• Pedal spring pivot point

Description

A worn, cracked, or missing clutch pedal stop creates annoying clunks on every shift and throws off your pedal geometry. This rubber clutch pedal stop replaces the original Ford C7ZZ-7583-B bumper that deteriorates after decades of use, restoring proper pedal function to your '67-'68 Mustang or Cougar.

The rubber stop mounts in the clutch pedal support bracket where it serves two critical functions: it sets the correct pedal height at rest and cushions the pedal's return travel to eliminate metal-on-metal contact noise. Without this stop, your clutch pedal can over-travel past its intended rest position, leading to inconsistent engagement feel, accelerated linkage wear, and that telltale clunk every time you release the clutch.

Installation takes seconds - the rubber stop simply snaps into place on the pedal support bracket with no tools or modifications required. This is a direct reproduction of the original Ford component, ensuring correct fit and factory-intended pedal positioning on your classic Mustang or Cougar clutch assembly.

What's Included

• One rubber clutch pedal stop (replaces Ford C7ZZ-7583-B)

Key Features

• Steel roller bearings replace failure-prone factory plastic bushings
• Reduces clutch pedal effort and delivers smoother, more consistent pedal travel
• Zinc-plated pivot supports clip directly into factory pedal hanger openings
• Includes reinforcement washer for worn pedal hangers - weldable for permanent repair
• Direct replacement for Ford part number C5ZZ-2478-RB
• Fits 1965-1973 Mustang plus many other 1960s-70s Ford applications

Description

Factory plastic pedal bushings are one of the most common failure points in classic Mustang clutch systems. They wear quickly, creating sloppy pedal feel, increased effort, and inconsistent clutch engagement. This roller bearing kit permanently solves that problem by replacing those soft plastic pieces with steel roller bearings that deliver smooth, precise pedal action for years.

The roller bearing design dramatically reduces friction at the pivot point, translating directly to lighter pedal effort and more tactile clutch feel. Instead of fighting a sticky, binding pedal during spirited driving, you get consistent engagement every time. The zinc-plated roller bearing supports clip directly into your existing factory mounting points, maintaining OEM appearance while delivering superior durability.

For pedal hangers that show wear from years of use, the kit includes a reinforcement washer that can be welded in place to restore structural integrity before installing the new bearings. This is a straightforward upgrade once the pedal support assembly is removed from the vehicle. Note that 1969-1973 applications may require minor modification to the pedal bracket assembly for proper fitment.

Designed as a direct replacement for Ford part number C5ZZ-2478-RB, this kit fits 1965-1973 Mustangs and works with many other Ford applications from the same era. If your clutch pedal feels agricultural instead of precise, worn bushings are likely the culprit - and this kit is the permanent fix.

Kit Includes

• Steel roller bearing clutch pedal pivot supports (zinc-plated)
• Reinforcement washer for worn pedal hanger repair
• Mounting hardware

Description

Converting your '67-'70 Mustang or Cougar to a modern TREMEC transmission or upgrading from worn mechanical linkage? The MDL LF Series Master Cylinder Kit solves the common problems that plague most hydraulic conversions. Traditional approaches use oversized 3/4-inch or 7/8-inch bore cylinders with short 1-inch strokes mounted directly to the pedal--creating heavy pedal pressure and firewall interference issues. The short stroke compounds the problem, requiring excessive force for proper clutch release.

The LF Series breaks this pattern with a revolutionary mechanical linkage system that allows the 0.700-inch bore master cylinder to utilize the full 1.4-inch stroke while maintaining the stock clutch pedal pivot point. This linkage creates mechanical advantage, dramatically reducing pedal effort while generating sufficient fluid volume for reliable clutch actuation. The firewall-mounted linkage plate distributes loads evenly and eliminates the binding that occurs with direct-mount systems.

The remote-mounted black anodized billet aluminum reservoir keeps brake fluid accessible while providing a clean, professional installation. The system works seamlessly with industry-standard slave cylinders and hydraulic release bearings, making it compatible with virtually any TREMEC transmission setup. Each kit includes comprehensive installation instructions and MDL's proprietary One-Man-Bleeder Kit for hassle-free system bleeding. Use DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid only.

Compatibility Note: Will NOT work with band clamp brake boosters or certain aftermarket 8-inch and larger brake boosters. Requires factory components to be in good working order--modifications or damage to firewall, pedal, or pedal hanger will affect performance. Compatible with original factory pedals and OE reproduction aftermarket pedals.

Kit Includes

• 0.700-inch bore x 1.4-inch stroke master cylinder

Description

Converting your classic Mustang or Cougar to a modern TREMEC transmission—or simply upgrading from tired mechanical linkage—demands a hydraulic clutch system that delivers light pedal effort without compromising installation simplicity. The LF Series (Light Foot) Hydraulic Clutch Master Kit solves the engineering challenges that plague most conversion kits: heavy pedal pressure, firewall interference, and compatibility headaches.

The problem with conventional hydraulic conversions is simple math. A typical 3/4-inch or 7/8-inch bore master cylinder with a 1-inch stroke connects directly to the pedal, requiring the cylinder to mount higher than the stock clutch rod hole—creating interference issues with the firewall and pedal assembly while producing excessive pedal loads. The LF Series takes a fundamentally different approach: an innovative mechanical linkage that works with your existing clutch pedal and rod hole location, matching pedal travel to a long-stroke master cylinder for dramatically reduced pedal effort.

The 0.700-inch bore paired with a 1.4-inch stroke generates sufficient fluid volume to support most aftermarket external slave cylinders and internal hydraulic release bearings. The clear anodized billet aluminum reservoir mounts remotely on the firewall for a clean installation and allows instant visual confirmation of fluid level. The system uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid—no need for expensive high-temperature fluid.

This kit fits 1967-1970 Mustangs and Cougars and works with both original factory clutch pedals and OE reproduction aftermarket pedals. Factory components must be in good working order—any modifications or damage to the firewall, pedal, or pedal hanger will affect master cylinder performance. Note: This kit will NOT work with band-clamp brake boosters or certain aftermarket brake boosters 8 inches and larger. Made in the USA with lifetime technical support from Modern Driveline.

Kit Includes

• 0.700-inch bore master cylinder with 1.4-inch stroke
• Innovative pedal linkage assembly
• Clear anodized billet aluminum reservoir
• Hydraulic lines

Description

When you're pushing 600, 700, or 800 horsepower through a classic Ford big block, standard single-disc clutches become a liability - they either slip under power or engage so aggressively they're miserable on the street. The McLeod RST twin disc clutch kit solves this problem by doubling your friction surface area without increasing pedal effort, giving you the holding power of a race clutch with the drivability of a stocker.

The RST uses twin organic-faced friction discs with sprung hubs that provide progressive, linear engagement - no on/off switch behavior that makes stop-and-go traffic a chore. The organic facings are specifically tuned for street performance, delivering smooth takeoffs and excellent release characteristics while handling up to 800 horsepower at the crank. McLeod's Blanchard-ground floater plate incorporates multiple retention straps to eliminate rattle and reduce drivetrain noise, keeping your high-powered street machine civilized.

A key advantage of the RST system is McLeod's patent-pending adapter ring design. This CNC-machined and anodized ring bolts directly to your existing large-diameter Ford flywheel - no need to purchase a dedicated flywheel for the twin-disc setup. The adapter ring fits flywheels with 164-tooth, 176-tooth, 180-tooth, and 184-tooth ring gears, accommodating Ford 351 Cleveland, FE-series (390/427/428), and 385-series (429/460) big blocks. The kit supports multiple pressure plate bolt patterns including 11" Long, 11-5/8" Equalizer, and 12-3/8" Equalizer configurations.

This RST kit is engineered for aggressive street driving and occasional strip use - not full competition. For racing applications, McLeod recommends their RXT or RXT 1200 series. The 10-spline x 1-1/16" input shaft configuration fits original Ford top-loader style transmissions commonly found in classic muscle car applications. Works with both mechanical linkage and hydraulic throwout bearing setups.

What's Included

• Diaphragm-style pressure plate assembly
• Two organic friction discs with sprung hubs
• Blanchard-ground floater plate with retention straps
• CNC-machined and anodized adapter ring

Description

When your Ford big block build pushes serious power, a single-disc clutch becomes the weak link in the drivetrain. The McLeod RXT Street Twin solves this with a 1000hp-rated twin-disc design that handles extreme horsepower while remaining completely streetable. This system uses two ceramic-faced friction discs that provide the holding power of a racing clutch with the daily-driver characteristics you need for street use.

The solid hub design eliminates the dampening springs found in sprung hub configurations, creating a direct mechanical connection ideal for high-torque applications where maximum power transfer is critical. Ceramic facings provide slightly aggressive engagement compared to organic linings - enough bite to hold serious power, but with a soft pedal effort and smooth engagement that makes stop-and-go traffic manageable. The twin-disc configuration distributes clamping loads across additional friction surface area, reducing heat buildup and extending clutch life even under aggressive driving.

McLeod's Patent-Pending red adapter ring system provides precise fitment for Ford large diameter flywheels, including 164T, 176T, 180T, and 184T ring gear counts. This configuration works with 11" B/B, BBCO, and Long pattern bellhousings. The 9.687" disc diameter and smaller-than-traditional clutch size allows for a diaphragm design that requires less clamping pressure - translating to a lighter pedal feel than you'd expect from a clutch rated for four-digit horsepower.

This kit requires a large diameter flywheel (not included) and does not include pilot bearing or throwout bearing - allowing you to match those components to your specific application. Professional installation and proper break-in procedures (500-750 miles of stop-and-go driving) are essential for optimal performance and longevity.

What's Included

Description

A worn pilot bushing is the hidden culprit behind clutch chatter, rough shifting, and premature input shaft wear. This heavy-duty bronze pilot bushing delivers the full input shaft support your Ford Big Block V8 demands, precision manufactured from premium-grade Oilite bronze for extended service life and reliable performance.

The sintered bronze construction is vacuum-impregnated with oil, creating a self-lubricating surface that meters lubricant to the input shaft throughout the clutch engagement cycle. Unlike inferior bushings containing iron or other hard metals, pure bronze construction will not gall or damage the transmission input shaft. When the bushing eventually wears, it serves as a consumable item like clutch discs and brake pads rather than causing costly input shaft damage.

Precision machined to 1.850" outer diameter, 0.670" inner diameter, and 0.500" width, this bushing matches OEM specifications for direct replacement fitment in Ford Big Block applications. Note: Step cutting may be required for OE bellhousing and big-input Toploader applications. Pilot bushings are wear items and should be replaced with every clutch change. Installation tip: freeze the bushing before installing for easier press-fit, and never apply grease as it can block the oil-impregnated pores.

What's Included

• (1) Heavy-duty oil-impregnated Oilite bronze pilot bushing

Description

Every time you stab the throttle, your pressure plate bolts absorb the rotational forces trying to tear your clutch apart. Factory hardware is engineered to a price point - not a performance standard. ARP's High Performance Series pressure plate bolts are forged from premium 8740 chromoly steel and heat-treated to 180,000 PSI tensile strength, delivering a substantial margin of safety over standard Grade 8 fasteners that simply can't match this level of clamping force under stress.

These aren't generic bolts cut to length. Each fastener features a precisely engineered 0.780-inch underhead length optimized specifically for Ford 289-460 V8 applications (1985 and earlier). The large-diameter, low-profile hex head design provides increased shank strength and improved flywheel register engagement compared to OEM hardware. The black oxide finish not only resists corrosion in the harsh bellhousing environment but also looks right on a performance build.

Whether you're building a weekend warrior that sees occasional strip duty or a dedicated road course car that lives at high RPM, these bolts eliminate a critical weak point in your drivetrain. The included hardened washers distribute clamping load evenly across the pressure plate mounting surface, preventing galling and ensuring consistent torque values. For best results, ARP recommends using their Ultra-Torque assembly lubricant to achieve accurate, repeatable torque readings.

Description

This black 5-speed shift ball delivers the period-correct look and feel of the classic knobs used in the muscle car era. Whether you're finishing a concours-quality restoration or building a street machine that gets driven hard, this shift ball combines authentic styling with materials engineered to handle real-world abuse.

The 5-speed pattern graphics are subsurface-engraved into the black polymer resin, meaning they cannot wear off no matter how many miles you log.

Description

Worn shift balls with faded graphics look cheap and undermine an otherwise clean build. This MDL 5-Speed Black Shift Ball solves that problem with subsurface graphics that are embedded below the polished surface - they physically cannot wear off, fade, or chip regardless of how many miles you put on the car or how aggressively you shift.

The ball is constructed from a specially formulated high-impact polymer resin developed specifically for automotive applications. Unlike generic plastics that crack and degrade with age and temperature cycling, this formulation resists stress cracking even after years of exposure to heat, cold, and UV light. At 4 ounces, the weight is calibrated to provide positive shift engagement without the excessive mass that can stress synchronizers or create unwanted momentum during quick shifts.

Inside, a brass or aluminum master insert provides the threaded mounting point and exceeds automotive industry specifications - tested to withstand 200 ft. lbs. of static pull force and 20 ft. lbs. of twist torque. The 3/8"-16 internal threading fits most domestic shifter applications, and MDL stocks thread adapters for virtually any shifter setup if your lever uses a different thread pitch. Each ball is precision machined and polished to a high-gloss finish that looks as good as it feels.

Made in the USA by a manufacturer that has been producing precision shift components since 1952, this shift ball delivers the quality and attention to detail that serious builds demand. Whether you are finishing a classic muscle car, a restomod, or a modern performance machine, the MDL logo and 5-speed pattern tell everyone you built it right.

What's Included

• One MDL 5-Speed Black Shift Ball with subsurface graphics 1-7/8" diameter
• Jam nut for secure installation

Key Features

• High-impact polymer resin construction formulated for performance torque and temperature demands
• 1-7/8" diameter ball with precision-machined 16mm x 1.50 brass master insert
• Subsurface 5-speed shift pattern graphics that cannot wear off
• Brass insert exceeds 200 ft-lbs static pull and 20 ft-lbs twist torque testing
• 4-ounce weight provides positive shifting feedback without excessive mass
• Compatible with MDL thread reducing inserts for virtually any shift lever thread size
• Polished high-gloss finish for durability and professional appearance
• Made in the USA

Description

The shift knob is your primary connection point to the drivetrain during every gear change. This white 5-speed shift ball delivers the durability and feel you need with high-impact polymer resin specifically formulated for automotive applications. Unlike generic plastics that develop stress cracks over time from temperature cycling and repeated use, this material is engineered to handle real-world performance conditions.

The 1-7/8" diameter provides excellent grip surface and comfortable palm contact. The 5-speed shift pattern is applied subsurface, meaning the graphics are embedded within the material rather than printed on top -- they physically cannot wear off from years of shifting. The entire ball is precision machined and polished to a high-gloss finish that resists scratching and cleans easily.

At the core is a brass master insert machined to 16mm x 1.50 threading. This insert is tested to exceed automotive industry specifications: 200 ft-lbs of static pull and 20 ft-lbs of twist torque. Because the knob uses the common 16mm x 1.50 master insert, it accepts MDL's complete line of thread reducing inserts -- so you can adapt it to fit 3/8"-16, 3/8"-24, 5/16"-18, 12mm x 1.75, 10mm x 1.50, and other common shift lever thread sizes. If your shifter doesn't use 16mm x 1.50 threading, just add the appropriate reducer to make it work.

Weighing 4 ounces, this knob provides enough mass for positive shifting feedback without the excessive weight that can stress shift mechanisms or cause gear selection issues. Made in the USA with automotive-grade materials and quality craftsmanship.

What's Included

• White polymer resin shift ball with subsurface 5-speed pattern
• 16mm x 1.50 brass master insert (pre-installed)
• Jam nut

Key Features

• Side-mounted push button lockout prevents accidental reverse gear engagement
• High-impact polymer resin construction engineered for performance torque and temperature demands

• Includes wiring for various reverse lockout applications
• Compatible with thread reducers for adapting to other shifter thread sizes
• Made in the USA

Description

Slamming into reverse at speed is a quick way to grenade a gearbox. This 5-speed shift ball eliminates that risk with an integrated side-mounted push button lockout that requires deliberate activation before reverse can be selected. The button includes wiring for connection to various shifter configurations that utilize electronic or mechanical reverse lockout functionality.

The ball itself is built from specially formulated high-impact polymer resin designed specifically for the automotive industry. Unlike cheap plastic knobs that crack under stress or go chalky from heat cycles, this material resists stress cracking with age while handling the torque and temperature swings of hard driving. The 1-7/8" diameter provides solid palm contact for confident shifting, and the polished white finish cleans up easily.

Mounting uses a 16mm x 1.50 brass master insert with an included brass jam nut. This thread size is common on 1982-2002 Camaro and Firebird shifters, Pontiac Fiero applications, and various aftermarket shifters. For other thread sizes, pair this shift ball with MDL thread reducers to adapt down to your specific shifter requirements.

Made in the USA from a manufacturer that has been producing quality shift knobs for decades.

What's Included

Description

Adding switch control to your shifter shouldn't mean clunky add-ons or taking your hand off the lever mid-shift. This 5-speed black shift ball puts a side-mounted momentary push button exactly where your thumb naturally rests, giving you instant access to nitrous activation, line lock, or other electrical accessories without fumbling for a dashboard switch or console button.

The side-mount placement is intentional: unlike top-mounted buttons that can be accidentally triggered during aggressive shifts, this configuration requires deliberate engagement. The included 18" wire harness gives you plenty of length to route to your relay or control module, with terminals ready for connection. Whether you're staging at the strip or wiring in a secondary system, the button is right there when you need it.

Built from black polymer resin, this 2-1/8" diameter shift ball delivers comfortable ergonomics for extended driving sessions while standing up to the abuse of street and track duty. The 16mm x 1.5 threads are the industry-standard size for shift knob adapters, which means you can pair this ball with MDL's thread reducing inserts to fit virtually any shift lever thread pitch -- from 3/8"-16 to 5/16"-18 and beyond.

Perfect for street/strip builds, drag applications, or any 5-speed manual transmission setup where you need reliable switch control at your fingertips.

What's Included

• Simulated reverse lockout styling for period-correct appearance

Description

Swapping a modern five-speed into a classic Mustang creates a problem: the original shift lever won't bolt up to a TREMEC shifter, and generic levers look out of place in a period-correct interior. This OEM-appearance shift lever solves both issues by combining mid-'60s Mustang styling with the correct mounting pattern for modern TREMEC transmissions.

Built from high-strength steel with a chrome-plated finish, this lever replicates the factory design down to the simulated reverse lockout feature. The lockout is cosmetic only—it provides the correct visual cues without functional lockout action, since TREMEC transmissions handle reverse lockout internally. The 8mm mounting holes are precisely spaced at 7/8-inch center-to-center to bolt directly to stock T5 shifter mechanisms without modification.

At 8.5 inches tall, the lever delivers the proper shift feel and ergonomics that made the original setup intuitive. The 1/2-inch x 20 threaded tip accepts standard shift knobs, making it easy to complete your period-correct interior. If you're running an aftermarket shifter, you may need to enlarge the mounting holes to accommodate 3/8-inch bolts—but the included hardware covers stock T5 installations.

This lever is compatible with TREMEC T5, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions, making it ideal for vintage Mustang restorations and pro-touring builds that demand authentic styling without sacrificing modern driveline performance.

What's Included

• Chrome-plated high-strength steel shift lever (8.5-inch height)
• Complete mounting hardware for T5 shifter installation

• Compatible with TREMEC T5, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions
• Includes mounting hardware for OEM T5 shifter applications

Description

Five-speed swaps into classic Mustangs solve the highway droning problem, but they create a new one: a modern shift lever that looks completely out of place in a period-correct interior. This OEM-style shift lever delivers the authentic 1968 Mustang 4-speed appearance your build deserves while bolting directly to modern TREMEC transmissions.

The engineering centers on precision fitment. The 8mm mounting holes are positioned on 7/8-inch center-to-center spacing to bolt directly to stock T5 shifters without modification. When using aftermarket shifters, the mounting holes may need to be enlarged to accept 3/8-inch bolts. The chrome-plated high-strength steel construction provides both the durability for daily driving and the show-quality finish that restoration and restomod builds demand.

The simulated reverse lockout lever with T-handle captures the distinctive look of the original 1968 4-speed shifter. The lockout mechanism is non-functional since modern TREMEC transmissions don't use this feature, but the visual authenticity remains intact. The 8.5-inch lever height places the shift knob exactly where the factory intended, and the standard 1/2-20 thread accepts your choice of period-correct woodgrain knobs or modern alternatives.

This lever works with T5, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions, covering the most popular 5-speed and 6-speed conversion choices for classic Mustangs. If you're building a restomod that needs to look stock from the driver's seat, this is the shift lever that gets it done.

Kit Includes

• Chrome-plated high-strength steel shift lever with simulated reverse lockout
• Mounting hardware for OEM T5 shifters

Description

This is the shift lever that defined an era. The Hurst chrome-plated round bar stick was the upper bolt-on stick originally supplied from Detroit factories for vehicles that were "Hurst Equipped." The chrome round bar design, bolt-on construction, Hurst logos, and white ball knob were the identifying features that signified a Hurst shifter was installed at the factory as original equipment. For years, these OEM round bar sticks were never sold to the general public - they were only available if you bought a vehicle optioned with a Hurst shifter from the dealer.

Now this OE-style stick is available directly from Hurst, with all the great features exactly as originally designed. Built from forged steel with high-quality chrome plating, this shift lever delivers the authentic look and durability that made Hurst "America's Number 1 Shifter Company." The iconic "HURST" name is stamped directly into the stick, providing the period-correct detail that separates genuine Hurst hardware from generic alternatives.

Modern builders will appreciate that it also works perfectly with TREMEC TKX, TKO, and T56 Magnum transmissions paired with Hurst-pattern shifter mechanisms.

The universal 3/8"-16 TPI thread accepts all Hurst shift knobs and T-handles, giving you complete control over the final appearance. Whether you're completing a concours-level restoration or building a restomod that honors classic muscle car heritage, this chrome round bar shift lever delivers the authentic Hurst experience.

Description

Swapping a TREMEC TKX or low-profile TKO into your '67-'73 Mustang or Cougar demands more than a generic crossmember. Shaker Hood cars and big block combinations require precise engine placement, and cutting up the tunnel to fit a modern 5-speed defeats the purpose of a clean swap. This MDL crossmember solves that problem by raising the transmission to the correct height in the tunnel without any floor modifications--keeping your firewall-to-bellhousing geometry intact and your sheet metal untouched.

Unlike bent-tube crossmembers that compromise on exhaust clearance, this laser-cut steel design is CNC bent for exacting fitment every time. The heavy-duty construction handles the demands of high-torque applications while the low-profile shape maximizes clearance for headers and dual exhaust systems. Convertible owners get the same bolt-in fit as coupe and fastback builders, and the design provides generous clearance for speedometer cable routing.

The black powder coat finish delivers lasting corrosion protection and a clean, professional appearance that matches the quality of your drivetrain upgrade. Complete sub-frame mounting hardware is included to simplify installation, and the crossmember also fits Ford AOD automatics for builders running automatic swaps. Manufactured by MDL in the USA, this crossmember delivers the precision fitment and structural integrity your build demands.

Speedometer Cable | 1967-1968 Mustang/Cougar | 5/8" Barrel | T5/TKO/TKX/AOD

Key Features

• 5/8" barrel-style connector matches factory Ford speedometer interface
• 63" overall length accommodates driver-side routing required by T5, TKO, and TKX transmissions [VERIFY: Product description states 63", key_features field states 59" - confirm correct length]
• Designed specifically for '67-'68 Mustang and Cougar five-speed and AOD conversions
• Compatible with Ford T5, TKO, TKX, and AOD transmissions
• Also fits Falcon conversions using MDL front-shift tailhousing or front-shift T5 packages

Description

When you swap from a factory four-speed to a modern T5, TKO, or TKX five-speed, the speedometer cable routing changes completely. These TREMEC transmissions position the mechanical speedometer drive on the driver's (left) side of the case, meaning your original cable won't reach - and trying to force an ill-fitting cable creates binding, premature wear, and inaccurate readings.

This application-specific speedometer cable solves that problem for '67-'68 Mustang and Cougar owners. The 5/8" barrel-style connector interfaces correctly with the Ford speedometer head, while the 63" overall length provides the reach needed for proper left-side routing without binding or excessive slack. The result is a clean installation that keeps your factory speedometer functioning accurately with your new overdrive transmission.

Beyond T5 and TKO/TKX manual swaps, this cable also works for AOD automatic conversions in '67-'68 Mustang and Cougar applications. Falcon owners converting to five-speed can use this cable when paired with MDL front-shift tailhousings or front-shift T5 packages. If you're upgrading to modern overdrive and want to keep your factory speedometer working, this is the cable that makes it happen.

What's Included

• Speedometer cable with 5/8" barrel connector (63" length)

Key Features

• 16-tooth driven gear corrects speedometer accuracy for Ford manual transmission swaps
• Wine color coding for easy tooth count identification during installation and service
• Direct fit for Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions
• Precision-molded construction for smooth, reliable operation

Description

When you swap to a 5- or 6-speed transmission, your original speedometer gear won't work with the new final drive ratio, throwing off your speedometer readings. This 16-tooth driven gear provides the correct gear ratio match to restore accurate speedometer operation in Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum applications.

Selecting the correct driven gear depends on your rear axle ratio and tire diameter. The wine-colored housing provides instant visual confirmation of the 16-tooth count during installation and future service, eliminating guesswork when fine-tuning your speedometer calibration. Each tooth change adjusts the speedometer reading approximately 4-5 mph, so selecting the right gear for your combination is critical.

This is the correct driven gear for all Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions. Whether you're building a street machine that sees daily driving or a weekend cruiser that needs reliable instrumentation, this precision-molded gear delivers smooth, accurate speedometer operation mile after mile.

What's Included

• 16-tooth speedometer driven gear with wine-colored housing

Key Features

• 17-tooth driven gear with white color coding for easy identification
• 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.

Kit Includes

• 17-tooth speedometer driven gear, white plastic

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

• 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.

What's Included

• One (1) retaining clip for Ford driven speedometer gear

Key Features

• 16-pulse Hall effect sensor delivers 16,000 pulses-per-mile output for accurate electronic speedometer calibration

• Three-wire design with included 10-foot pigtail harness for flexible routing and clean signal transmission
• Allen-head mounting bolt provides body clearance in tight transmission tunnel applications
• Uses standard T5 driven speedometer gears - no adapter required for low-profile installation.
• 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.

The smooth outer journal ensures uniform contact with the transmission seal, preventing leaks while promoting proper slip action during suspension travel. This attention to detail eliminates the fluid weeping common with lesser yokes.

This 31-spline configuration directly fits TREMEC TKX, TKO-500, TKO-600, and T56 Magnum transmissions, as well as Ford C6 and FMX automatics, Ford Toploader 4-speeds, and ZF 5-speed transmissions. Whether you're building a restomod, pro-touring car, or weekend warrior, this Sonnax slip yoke delivers the strength and durability your drivetrain demands.
