Description

Converting a 1968 Camaro big block from automatic to manual used to mean tunnel cutting, parts hunting, and endless compatibility headaches. This fully customizable TKX 5-speed package solves all of that by bundling every component you need into a single, application-specific kit. The TREMEC TKX was designed from the ground up for the aftermarket, with a compact end-loading case that fits GM A-body tunnels without modification - a first for a 5-speed in these tight confines.

At the heart of this package is TREMEC's latest 5-speed, rated at 600 lb-ft of torque capacity and built for engines revving to 8,000 RPM. The TKX's multi-cone synchronizers and hybrid sintered bronze/carbon synchronizer rings deliver smooth, confident shifts up to 7,500 RPM - no more notchy feel at high engine speeds. All gears and shafts are machined from special-grade ASTM 4615 steel for maximum durability, while oversized gear widths and caged needle bearings in all gear positions extend service life under hard use.

You'll choose from wide-ratio (3.27, 1.98, 1.34, 1.00, 0.72) or close-ratio (2.87, 1.89, 1.28, 1.00, 0.68 or 0.81) gear sets to match your rear axle ratio and driving style. The single overdrive reduces engine wear and fuel consumption on the highway while keeping your big block in its powerband when you need it. The TKX's three-piece ribbed aluminum housing provides structural stiffness, minimizes NVH, and uses gaskets at all flanges to eliminate leaks.

MDL's guided package builder walks you through every selection - transmission ratio, bellhousing (aluminum or steel), clutch system (single or twin-disc), hydraulic components, shifter, crossmember, flywheel, and driveline hardware. Every component is engineered to work together for your specific 1968 Camaro big block application. Concierge service is available if you need help matching parts to your project and budget.
