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.

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

Bellhousing flex kills drivetrain components and robs horsepower. When a bellhousing deflects under load, the engine and transmission fall out of alignment, accelerating wear on input shaft bearings, pilot bushings, and clutch components while introducing parasitic power losses. The QuickTime RM-8010 solves this with spun steel cone construction that delivers twice the strength of competing steel bellhousings while maintaining pinpoint dimensional accuracy throughout the entire rpm range.

The difference is in the manufacturing process. QuickTime spins their cones rather than rolling or stamping them like competitors. This spun construction creates the most dimensionally stable bellhousing on the market - parallelism and concentricity that lesser housings simply cannot match. The high-grade steel work-hardens under stress, reaching over 80,000 PSI strength for proven durability in circle track, drag strip, and street applications. A patent-pending 16-point design and manufacturing process incorporates input from OEMs, engine builders, transmission builders, racers, and enthusiasts.

The RM-8010 bridges Ford 351M, 400M, 429, and 460 big-block engines to Ford-pattern T5, TR-3550, TKO 500, TKO 600, and TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmissions. The 7.05-inch bellhousing depth accommodates 176-tooth flywheels and clutch assemblies up to 12 inches. A universal transmission bore of 4.685-4.910 inches handles multiple input shaft configurations with the included adjustable pivot. This is a non-SFI bellhousing suited for street cruising and moderate competition - builders running over 500 hp or serious racing applications should consider an SFI-certified unit.

Designed and manufactured 100% in the USA by QuickTime, the undisputed leader in bellhousing technology founded by former dirt track racer Ross McCombs. MDL provides lifetime technical support to help you dial in your big-block Ford 5-speed conversion.

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

Ford's 385-series big blocks--the 429 and 460--were designed as luxury-car torque monsters, but builders have been putting manual transmissions behind them for decades. The challenge? Finding a clutch that can handle serious torque without requiring a leg press workout at every stoplight. This Superior Series Big Block Change Over clutch kit delivers 650 ft-lbs of torque capacity through an 11.5" long pattern diaphragm pressure plate, giving you the clamping force needed for high-power street and strip duty while keeping pedal effort manageable in hydraulic release setups.

The hybrid friction material strategy is engineered for optimal performance and longevity. Kevlar on the pressure plate side handles initial engagement heat and provides excellent fade resistance under hard use, while the steel-backed Metallic facing on the flywheel side delivers aggressive engagement for extreme duty applications. This combination gives you the best of both worlds--aggressive holding power when you need it, civilized behavior when you don't. The profiled clutch fingers ensure even pressure distribution across the entire friction surface.

Every MDL Superior clutch disk is hand-assembled in-house to exacting tolerances. Double-riveted construction ensures the facings stay put under repeated high-load cycles, and each assembly is inspected before it goes in the box.

The 5/16"-18 thread pitch provides the strength-to-weight balance that made this specification an OEM standard across Ford, GM, and Mopar platforms. The 3/4" under-head length accommodates most standard pressure plate thicknesses without bottoming out in flywheel threads or leaving inadequate engagement.

Unlike generic hardware-store fasteners, these bolts are designed specifically for clutch applications where vibration resistance, proper thread engagement, and precise clamping loads are essential. Proper pressure plate hardware prevents the loosening and shearing that leads to clutch separation under high-RPM loads. Whether you're rebuilding a numbers-matching classic or assembling a street/strip performer, using the correct pressure plate bolts isn't optional.

Compatible with most domestic clutch applications using 5/16" pressure plate bolts. Verify thread specification and length requirements for your specific application before installation.

Description

Converting a '69-'70 Mustang or Cougar from automatic to manual transmission? The biggest headache is wrestling the clutch pedal pivot shaft through the pedal support bracket in tight under-dash confines. MDL's clutch pedal solves that problem with a removable bolt-on pivot shaft that slides into place after the pedal arm is positioned - no need to drop the entire pedal support or contort yourself into impossible angles.

This OEM-spec replacement duplicates the original '69-'70 clutch pedal in every dimension and mounting point, with one critical improvement: the bolt-on pivot shaft design. It drops right into place whether you're working with an existing manual setup or converting from automatic. When converting, the stock pedal support is reused and the brake pedal simply gets trimmed on the left side to create the narrower manual-shift pad - no replacement brake pedal required.

The pedal includes all necessary mounting provisions for various clutch release systems. A spring pivot point comes installed for use with stock mechanical linkage, though the spring is not needed when running cable or hydraulic clutch release. The included rubber pedal stop prevents metal-to-metal contact that causes annoying squeaks and premature wear at the pedal travel limit.

Fits 1969-70 Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar with all pedal support configurations. Engineered and manufactured in the United States to OEM specifications. Pair with MDL's complete hydraulic or cable clutch conversion kits for a seamless manual transmission swap.

Description

Worn pedal bushings create sloppy, imprecise pedal feel that only gets worse with every drive. This high-strength nylon bushing restores tight, responsive pedal action by eliminating the play and binding that develops when original bushings deteriorate over decades of use.

Made from durable, wear-resistant plastic, this bushing handles the constant pivoting forces of clutch and brake pedal operation without cracking or wearing out prematurely. The precise 5/8" length matches the original Ford B7AZ-2471-A specification for correct pedal geometry and feel.

This bushing works in both clutch and brake pedal assemblies that share the same 5/8" OD pivot shaft. Manual transmission cars require six bushings total—four in the common pivot shaft plus two additional at the clutch pedal. Automatic cars need four bushings. Note that '67 and later Mustangs with power brakes only require two bushings at the clutch pedal, since the power brake lever pivots on a separate shaft.

Direct replacement for Ford part number B7AZ-2471-A. Fits 1960-2004 Ford applications including Mustang, Cougar, Fairlane, Falcon, and many others.

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.

• One-Man-Bleeder Kit included for easy system bleeding
• Made in the USA

Description

Converting your '67-'70 Mustang or Cougar to a modern transmission or upgrading from mechanical linkage demands a hydraulic clutch system engineered specifically for the job. Most retrofit kits bolt a short-stroke, large-bore master cylinder directly to your pedal, creating heavy pedal pressure, mounting interference at the firewall, and an overall poor driving experience. The LF Series solves these problems with an innovative linkage design that transforms pedal geometry and delivers a dramatically improved driver experience.

The common retrofit approach uses a 3/4" or 7/8" bore by 1" stroke master cylinder connected directly to the pedal. This short stroke combined with improper mounting angles results in excessive pedal effort and limited clutch control. The LF Series revolutionary linkage matches your full pedal travel with a long-stroke master cylinder, creating mechanical advantage that significantly reduces pedal effort while optimizing clutch engagement control. The linkage allows positioning perpendicular to the firewall using the mechanical clutch rod hole (where possible), eliminating the interference issues that plague direct-mount setups.

The 0.700" bore combined with 1.4" stroke generates enough fluid volume to properly actuate most aftermarket external slaves or internal hydraulic release bearings. The remote black plastic reservoir mounts separately on the firewall for clean installation and easy fluid level checks. Uses DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid only -- no special high-temp fluid required.

Fits 1967-1970 Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar with factory pedal assemblies. Will NOT work with band-clamp brake boosters or certain aftermarket brake boosters 8" and larger. Requires factory firewall, pedal, and pedal hanger to be in good working order -- any modifications or damage to these components will affect master cylinder performance. Made in the USA with comprehensive installation instructions and lifetime tech support.

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.

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.

Description

External slave cylinders create clearance headaches and bellhousing compatibility issues that derail Ford TKO and TKX swaps. The Tilton 6000 Series Hydraulic Release Bearing eliminates those problems entirely. This internal hydraulic design slips directly over the transmission's bearing retainer - no machining, no adapter plates, no fighting for space. The result is a clean installation that works with most bellhousings, including original 4-speed and big block bells that external slaves can't accommodate.

Tilton builds this bearing to race-proven standards. The billet aluminum body and piston are precision-machined in-house at Tilton Engineering, then fitted with a high-temperature mono-seal that incorporates a quad tensioner to maintain proper seal tension under extreme conditions. The constant contact design keeps the bearing face against the pressure plate fingers at all times - no gap to manage, no adjustment as the clutch wears. Pedal feel stays consistent from fresh install through the clutch's entire service life.

The stainless steel threaded adjustment sleeve delivers nearly 1.25" of height adjustability, accommodating bearing heights from 1.77" to 3.00" to work with a wide range of clutch configurations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Description

Factory shift knobs rarely deliver the grip, weight, or aesthetics that a performance build deserves. This MDL 5-Speed Black Aluminum Shift Ball solves that problem with a 2-1/8 inch diameter that fills the palm for confident, positive shifts and a brushed black aluminum finish that looks at home in any performance-oriented cockpit.

The 16mm x 1.5 internal thread is engineered to work with MDL's line of thread reducer inserts, giving you the flexibility to mount this shift ball on virtually any shifter handle. Thread reducers are available in both SAE sizes (3/8-16, 3/8-24) and metric sizes (8mm-1.25, 9mm-1.25, 12mm-1.75) to accommodate Hurst, Lokar, TREMEC, and other popular shifter configurations. This universal approach means one shift ball works across multiple builds and applications.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum, this shift ball reduces rotating mass compared to heavier steel or weighted knobs - a deliberate choice for drivers who prioritize quick, precise shifts over added heft. The brushed aluminum base with black finish provides durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean appearance that won't fade or chip under heavy use.

Note: This shift ball requires a separate thread reducer insert and jam nut (sold separately) to properly mount to your shifter handle. Check MDL's selection of thread reducers to find the correct adapter for your specific shifter lever thread size.

What's Included

• One 2-1/8 inch black aluminum shift ball with brushed finish and 5-speed pattern
• 16mm x 1.5 internal thread (thread reducer insert required - sold separately)

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.

The 11.21-inch height with 3.75-inch setback creates the classic curved geometry that puts the shift knob exactly where it belongs for smooth, confident shifts. This lever is particularly popular for 1969 Camaro and Firebird builds, fitting factory console installations as well as period-correct Muncie 4-speed shifters. 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

Factory shift levers get the job done, but they rarely complement a custom interior or deliver the precise feel a performance build deserves. This billet aluminum shift lever from Bowler was purpose-built for the TREMEC enthusiast who demands both function and aesthetics. Machined from solid billet aluminum and finished in durable black anodize, it delivers the strength to handle aggressive shifts while adding a sleek, modern look to your cockpit.

The 30-degree kickback angle pulls the shift knob rearward and closer to the driver, improving reach and reducing fatigue during spirited driving or long cruises. At 10 inches tall, this lever strikes the ideal balance between throw reduction and mechanical advantage, giving you crisp gate engagement without requiring excessive effort. The industrial through-pocket design creates a rigid structure that eliminates flex under load, ensuring consistent shift feel whether you're rowing through traffic or banging gears at the track.

Installation is straightforward: the lever bolts directly to the standard 2-bolt flange found on TKO-500, TKO-600, TKX, and T56 transmissions using the included hardware. Mounting holes are spaced 0.890 inches center-to-center with 3/8-inch diameter.

Description

Factory TREMEC shift levers get the job done, but they lack the style and ergonomic refinement that a performance build deserves. This Bowler billet aluminum shift lever transforms your interior with precision-machined construction and a sleek brushed silver finish that complements both classic and modern builds.

The 30-degree kickback angle is the key ergonomic feature here. Rather than forcing your wrist into an awkward position during aggressive shifts, the angled design places your hand naturally where it wants to be. The result is faster, more comfortable gear changes with reduced fatigue during spirited driving or track sessions.

Machined from solid billet aluminum using an industrial through pocket design, this lever delivers exceptional strength without unnecessary weight. The through pocket construction removes material strategically, creating visual interest while maintaining the structural integrity needed for hard shifts. At 10" in length, the lever provides optimal leverage for crisp gear engagement without excessive throw.

Installation is straightforward with direct bolt-on compatibility for TKO-500, TKO-600, TKX, and T-56 transmissions using the standard 2-bolt mounting flange. Mounting holes are precision-machined to 0.890" center-to-center with 3/8" diameter for perfect alignment.

Description

When your stock shifter lever doesn't deliver the throw length, ergonomics, or style your build demands, this Lokar layback lever solves the problem with engineered precision. The direct bolt-on design eliminates guesswork--this lever mounts straight to TREMEC and Borg Warner manual transmission shifters without modifications or adapters.

The 12-inch layback configuration places the shift knob exactly where you want it--4 inches back and 11 inches up from the mounting point with a 30-degree bend that follows the natural arc of your shifting motion. This geometry puts the knob closer to the driver for shorter reaches and more comfortable throws, especially in tight interiors or deep bucket seat setups.

Description

That cracked, torn, or UV-damaged shift boot in your Hurst-equipped '69-'70 Mustang isn't just ugly - it lets dirt, debris, and moisture into your shifter mechanism. This OEM-spec reproduction restores the factory look and function that Ford engineers intended when they designed the original. Built to Ford part number D0ZZ-7277-B specifications, it drops right in without modification.

The boot is manufactured from compression molded EPDM rubber, the same material used in original Ford production. EPDM holds up to temperature extremes, resists UV degradation, and won't crack or tear like cheap vinyl alternatives. The textured skin surface replicates the original factory finish exactly - no smooth, generic appearance that screams "aftermarket" to anyone who knows these cars.

An integrated steel insert is molded into the base, providing the same secure mounting as the original equipment boot. This steel reinforcement prevents the flexing and tearing that kills generic universal boots within a few months of use. The rectangular opening is sized specifically for Hurst's distinctive rectangular shifter lever - this is not a round-lever boot, and it won't work with factory Ford shifters or other aftermarket units.

Fits 1969-1970 Mustangs equipped with Hurst 4-speed shifters. For a complete console restoration, pair this boot with the matching OEM-style shift boot bezel, available separately (see MD-321-1062-B).

What's Included

• Integrated steel mounting insert

Key Features

Description

Finish your shifter installation with the most popular shift boot in the Hurst lineup. This genuine Hurst B-4 shift boot and chrome trim plate kit delivers the authentic muscle car look that enthusiasts have trusted since 1958. The durable black rubber boot features the iconic embossed Hurst 'H' logo - a detail that instantly signals performance heritage in any interior.

Engineered for versatility, the rectangular boot design accommodates square or rectangular shift lever configurations, making it compatible with a wide range of aftermarket and factory shifter setups. The boot measures 6-3/8 inches long by 5-1/4 inches wide on the outside, with a mounting hole pattern of 5-5/16 inches by 4-1/4 inches center-to-center. Each of the four mounting holes is 0.375 inches in diameter, providing secure bolt-down installation.

Beyond aesthetics, this boot serves a functional purpose - sealing off the transmission tunnel to keep road noise, dust, and debris out of your cabin. The included chrome trim plate delivers a clean, professional finished appearance that complements everything from vintage muscle cars to modern resto-mod builds. Whether you're completing a TREMEC swap or refreshing an original four-speed installation, this kit provides the classic Hurst look with the quality construction the brand is known for.

Description

A cracked, dried-out shift boot does more than look bad -- it lets dust, debris, and noise intrude into your classic Mustang's cabin every time you row through the gears. This Scott Drake reproduction shift boot restores the factory appearance and function with the same materials and construction Ford used originally.

The boot is compression molded from E.P.D.M. rubber, the same elastomer specified by Ford for its combination of heat resistance, flexibility, and long-term durability. The textured skin finish matches the original factory surface, so it looks correct whether you're building a concours restoration or a period-correct driver. An integrated steel insert mounting plate is molded into the base, providing solid attachment and simplifying installation -- no separate retainer to source.

Measuring 6-3/4" x 4-7/8" with a rectangle base shape and round center hole, this boot fits 1969-1973 Mustangs equipped with factory-style round shift levers and either 3-speed or 4-speed manual transmissions. Note that this boot will NOT fit Hurst shifter applications -- it's designed specifically for OEM-style lever configurations. Pair it with the matching chrome bezel (PN MD-321-1062-B, sold separately) for a complete, factory-correct restoration.

Scott Drake reproduction parts are manufactured to match original specifications, delivering the authentic details that separate a quality restoration from a parts-bin build. OE part number C9ZZ-7277-A.

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.

• 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.

• 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

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

• 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.

Every yoke is 100% leak-tested with the seal plug O.D. ground for superior seal, then air-tested to 40 psi to ensure optimum sealing. 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.
