Description

When TREMEC set out to replace the legendary T56, they didn't just update it - they engineered the Magnum from the ground up using TR-6060 architecture found in factory supercars like the C6 ZR1 Corvette and Viper ACR. The result is the strongest, smoothest-shifting 6-speed manual transmission available for the aftermarket, purpose-built for GM LS engines as well as big-block and small-block applications when paired with the correct bellhousing.

This close ratio version (TUET11009) features gear ratios optimized for high-performance street driving and road racing. The 2.66 first gear launches hard without being too aggressive, while the tightly-spaced 1.78 second, 1.30 third, and 1:1 fourth keep you in the meat of your powerband. The double overdrive - 0.80 fifth and 0.63 sixth - drops highway RPM dramatically, improving both cruising comfort and fuel economy. The 4616 chromoly gears feature two-piece laser-beam welded construction with increased face widths for greater strength and more precise tooth geometry.

Inside, the Magnum benefits from modern OEM synchronizer technology: triple cone units on gears 1-4 and double cone on 5-6 and reverse deliver incredibly short, low-effort shift throws with precise engagement even at high RPM. The redesigned shift forks eliminate the wear issues that plagued earlier T56 designs, and the extensively modified case prevents leaks under high-stress conditions. The fully reversible TKO-style aluminum shifter provides multiple mounting positions, and built-in mid-shift provisions under the inspection cover make forward shifter relocation simple for bench-seat classics.

Compatible with GM big-block, small-block, and LS engines using the appropriate bellhousing. Uses standard T56 bellhousing bolt pattern with internal CSC (concentric slave cylinder) mounting provisions. Requires Dexron III ATF. Rated to 7,800 RPM.

Description

The original T56 topped out around 450 lb-ft - fine for stock applications, but a liability once you started adding power. The TREMEC T56 Magnum solves that problem decisively, delivering 700 lb-ft of torque capacity in a purpose-built aftermarket package based on the TR-6060 architecture found in factory supercars like the Corvette ZR1 and Dodge Viper ACR.

This wide-ratio version (TUET11012) features a 2.97 first gear for aggressive launches and street-light acceleration, while the double overdrive - 0.74 in fifth and 0.50 in sixth - drops highway RPM significantly for better fuel economy and reduced engine wear. TREMEC widened the gear faces substantially over the original T56, then added 2-piece laser-beam welded construction for precise control of tooth angles, pitch, and alignment. Triple-cone synchronizers on gears 1-4 and double-cone on 5-6 deliver smooth, high-rpm shifts without grinding or balking - even when you're banging through the gears hard.

The reversible die-cast aluminum shifter eliminates the limitations of earlier cast-iron designs, providing TKX-style precision with short, low-effort throws. Dual speedometer pickups handle both mechanical cable-driven and electronic setups without adapters. Built-in provisions for mid-shift conversions sit under the inspection cover, ready when your application demands a different shifter location. The T56-style bellhousing bolt pattern makes installation with various late-model GM engines straightforward.

At 34.85 inches overall length, tunnel modification is required for most classic muscle car conversions - this is not a drop-in for '98-'02 F-bodies or '04-'06 GTOs. The 26-spline input matches LS-series engines directly, while the 31-spline output handles serious driveline torque.

Description

The TREMEC T-56 Magnum eliminates the compromise between strength and driveability that plagued earlier 6-speed conversions. Introduced in 2009 as the long-awaited replacement for the original T-56, the Magnum combined the best of TREMEC's OEM TR-6060 design with the most popular features of their TKO 5-speed. Known in OEM form as the TR-6060, this is the same transmission architecture found in factory supercars including the Dodge Challenger and Viper, and the Chevrolet Camaro - now available for your GM-powered build.

The TUET16885 wide-ratio gear set delivers a 2.97:1 first gear for aggressive launches paired with closely-spaced 5th (0.80:1) and 6th (0.63:1) overdrives for comfortable highway cruising at lower RPMs. This ratio spread makes the wide-ratio Magnum ideal for street machines, restomods, and pro-tourers where you want strong off-the-line acceleration without screaming RPMs at 70 mph.

Engineering improvements over the original T-56 are substantial. Gear face widths have been significantly increased, and 2-piece laser-beam welded gear construction allows greater control of tooth angles, pitch, and alignment. The bolstered one-piece countershaft resists distortion, while redesigned shift forks with permanently mounted shift links eliminate the wear and float that caused incomplete shifts in earlier designs. Spring-loaded ball-type inserts replace the stamped-steel shift keys of previous generations, delivering short, smooth shifts without the notchy feel.

The Magnum works with GM small block, big block, and LS engines when paired with the correct bellhousing. Clutch release provisions are modeled after the T-56 in 1998-2002 Camaros and Firebirds, designed for use with hydraulic throwout bearings.

Description

Dropping a TREMEC Magnum into a '68-'69 Camaro or Firebird puts serious capability under your floor - but the stock shifter placement leaves your shift lever fighting for real estate in these tight first-generation F-body tunnels. The MDL Qwik Stik solves this with application-specific offset engineering that positions your shift lever exactly where it belongs for natural, confident throws.

This precision-machined billet aluminum shifter base plate mounts directly to your Magnum's rear shifter location, eliminating the guesswork from shifter placement calculations. The 1" left offset combined with your choice of .65" or 1.15" backward positioning accounts for the unique tunnel geometry in these classic GM muscle cars. The compact top turret clears the factory shifter opening without requiring floor surgery, while the narrow shift body provides maximum clearance within the tunnel confines.

Belleville spring washers replace traditional mechanical detent systems, delivering consistent spring pressure that creates crisp, positive engagement throughout the shift pattern. This design eliminates binding common in mechanical stop systems and provides that lightning-quick 2-3 shift feel Magnum owners expect. Since there are no physical stops to break, wear out, or replace, long-term maintenance is simplified - just reliable performance mile after mile.

The high-temperature dust boot shields internal components from debris and contamination, while the anodized finish resists corrosion and wear. The 7/8" on-center stub mounting accepts most aftermarket shift levers, giving you flexibility in handle selection to complete your interior.

Description

Extracting maximum performance from a high-torque LS engine requires a clutch that bridges the gap between aggressive track bite and civilized street manners. This dual-friction Superior clutch disc solves that challenge by pairing Kevlar on the flywheel side with a steel-backed organic facing on the pressure plate side. The result is a clutch that hooks hard under load yet remains smooth and predictable in stop-and-go traffic.

Why the hybrid configuration? Kevlar's coefficient of friction actually increases with temperature—meaning torque capacity goes up, not down, under hard use. It also resists burning and delivers exceptional longevity. Meanwhile, the steel-backed organic side provides the smooth modulation and forgiving engagement drivers expect on the street. This combination delivers more grip than a pure organic disc while maintaining better driveability than an all-Kevlar setup—the sweet spot for street performance and weekend track duty.

Every Superior clutch disc is hand-built in MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility. Each disc goes through rigorous quality control—checked and double-checked for tolerances—before it ships. The 11" diaphragm pressure plate provides high clamping force without excessive pedal effort, and the sprung hub dampens engagement shock for chatter-free operation. Rated at 500 lb-ft, this kit is sized right for naturally aspirated and moderately boosted LS builds.

Fits GM LS engines paired with T56 or T56 Magnum transmissions using a 26-spline, 1-1/8" input shaft. Designed exclusively for hydraulic clutch actuation systems. Note: No throwout bearing or pilot bearing included—order separately based on your bellhousing and crankshaft configuration. Made in the USA with MDL's 1-year defect-free warranty and lifetime technical support.

Description

High-performance LS builds demand clutch systems that can handle serious power while maintaining streetability. The MDL Superior 11" Kevlar clutch set delivers exactly that balance—rated at 550 lb-ft of torque capacity with dual Kevlar friction surfaces that actually increase grip under hard use rather than fading like organic compounds. When heat builds during aggressive driving, Kevlar's coefficient of friction rises, giving you more holding power precisely when you need it most.

Unlike organic materials that lose torque capacity at elevated temperatures and can burn when slipped excessively, Kevlar resists wear significantly better and won't sustain permanent heat damage under demanding conditions. The sprung hub design absorbs drivetrain shock loads, delivering smooth engagement without the chatter common to solid-hub racing clutches. This combination makes the Superior series ideal for vehicles that split time between spirited street driving and open track days.

The diaphragm-style pressure plate provides progressive pedal feel with clamping force that actually increases over the life of the clutch—delivering lower pedal effort than Long-style pressure plates while maintaining consistent performance. The 12-5/8" equal bolt pattern matches standard GM LS flywheel configurations, and the 26-spline x 1-1/8" hub provides direct compatibility with T56 and T5 transmissions.

Every Superior clutch set is hand-assembled in MDL's facility, where each assembly undergoes rigorous inspection to ensure exacting tolerances and flawless operation before it ships. You receive a ready-to-install, precision-balanced clutch set backed by a 1-year free-from-defect warranty.

Description

The McLeod RST twin disc clutch delivers 800hp holding power in a street-friendly package--no harsh engagement, no leg-day pedal effort, no excuses. It's engineered for the enthusiast running serious power who still wants to daily-drive their build without fighting the clutch in traffic.

The twin organic friction discs provide the clamping force of a multi-disc setup while maintaining the smooth, progressive engagement characteristics you expect from a streetable clutch. Sprung hubs absorb driveline shock during aggressive launches, protecting the transmission input shaft while delivering precise pedal modulation. The diaphragm pressure plate maintains consistent clamp load across the RPM range with a lighter pedal feel than Borg & Beck designs.

McLeod's patented adapter ring system is the key to the RST's universal fitment. The large red adapter ring included with this kit bolts directly to large-diameter flywheels--Chevy 168-tooth, Ford 164T/176T/180T/184T, and BOP 160T/166T--eliminating the need for a dedicated flywheel. This covers GM V8 applications from '55-'85, Buick/Olds/Pontiac from '59-'79, and Ford 11"/11.5"/12" Long bolt patterns.

This twin-disc clutch handles up to 1,200 crank horsepower while maintaining a comfortable pedal feel that will not leave you massaging a charlie horse after a trip through downtown at rush hour.

The RXT 1200 features ceramic-lined clutch discs that provide slightly aggressive engagement with soft pedal effort. The higher clamp load compared to the standard RXT gives you the grip needed for serious power while the twin-disc design keeps rotating mass low for quick revs. The Blanchard-ground floater plate with multiple straps minimizes driveline noise - you may hear some feedback tones between 1200-1900 RPM, which is normal for twin-disc applications.

McLeod's patent-pending large red adapter ring system eliminates the need for a dedicated flywheel. The ring mounts to your existing large-diameter flat-style flywheel (Chevy 168T and similar) and provides the proper mounting surface for the twin-disc assembly. This adapter ring approach reduces cost while maintaining strength. Note: This kit requires a flat-style flywheel with a crank relief of 6.250" or less for proper fitment - it will not work with recessed or stepped flywheels.

Description

Selecting the correct pilot bearing for an LS engine and TREMEC transmission combination is critical - the wrong bearing position or size leaves the input shaft unsupported, causing shifting issues and accelerated transmission wear. This sealed pilot bearing is engineered for applications requiring the small-diameter bearing that seats in the innermost pocket (Position A) of the LS crankshaft flange.

The 1.096" outer diameter press-fits into the inner landing of LS1, LS3, and LS6 crankshafts, while the 0.590" bore matches the pilot tip diameter of standard TREMEC T-56, Magnum, and TKO input shafts. The 0.720" width ensures adequate support depth at the pilot tip - the most critical point for maintaining input shaft alignment and preventing premature bearing failure.

Use this bearing when your transmission input shaft protrudes approximately 3/4" to 1" past the front face of the bellhousing. For T-56 conversions behind LS3 engines using aftermarket bellhousings, this is typically the correct bearing position. Always verify input shaft protrusion and crankshaft pocket dimensions before installation - the bearing should be a slight interference fit into the crankshaft. Install by pressing on the outer race only, and ensure the sealed side faces outward (toward the transmission) to retain lubrication.

What's Included

• 1x Sealed pilot bearing (1.096" OD x 0.590" ID x 0.720" width)

• Direct-fit replacement for 1972-1981 Camaro and Firebird F-body models
• Complete kit includes both pads and both trim rings in a single purchase
• Manual brake configuration - not for power brake applications

Description

Worn pedal pads and missing trim rings are telltale signs of a neglected interior - and on a manual transmission F-body, they're the two components your feet touch every time you drive. This complete pedal pad kit restores your 1972-1981 Camaro or Firebird pedal assembly to factory-correct condition with properly sized pads and polished stainless steel trim rings that replicate the original GM look.

The kit includes 3-inch diameter pads for both the manual brake pedal and the clutch pedal. This sizing is critical: 1972 models and certain other F-body applications used full-size 3-inch clutch pedals, while later models often featured narrower 2-inch clutch pads. If your clutch pedal arm accepts a 3-inch pad, this is the correct kit. The stainless steel trim rings add the finishing touch that separates a quality restoration from a parts-bin build - bright polished rings that frame each pad and resist corrosion far better than chrome-plated alternatives.

Installation is straightforward - the pads and trim rings are designed to fit the factory pedal arm mounting points without modification. Whether you're completing a frame-off restoration or just refreshing a driver-quality second-gen, this kit gives your pedal box the detail-correct appearance that factory manuals specified.

Description

Converting your first-gen Camaro, Firebird, or early Nova to hydraulic clutch actuation does not have to mean compromising pedal feel or dealing with firewall flex. The common approach - bolting a 3/4" or 7/8" bore by 1" stroke master cylinder directly to the pedal - results in improper pedal pressure, heavy effort, and often requires raising the cylinder higher than the stock clutch rod hole. The MDL LF Series solves these problems with an engineered mechanical linkage system that preserves factory pedal geometry while delivering modern hydraulic performance.

The heart of this kit is the 0.750" bore master cylinder with a 1.4" stroke, producing 0.619 cubic inches of fluid volume - the sweet spot for most aftermarket internal and external slave cylinders. The mechanical linkage allows the full stroke of the pedal to maximize clutch modulation while keeping the cylinder perpendicular to the firewall, providing mechanical advantage that reduces the pedal pressure required to operate the clutch. The firewall plate mounts under your brake master cylinder or booster where the structure is strongest, eliminating flex under load.

The silver anodized billet aluminum reservoir provides a premium appearance while eliminating the leak-prone clamp connections found on cheaper systems. Every kit includes comprehensive installation instructions and MDL's unique One-Man Bleeder Kit, making the bleeding process straightforward even for first-time hydraulic installers. Pair this master kit with Tilton Engineering internal hydraulic release bearings or MDL LF Series external slave cylinder kits for a complete hydraulic clutch solution.

Description

OEM concentric slave cylinders in GM T56 applications are notorious for heat-related failures and inconsistent pedal feel under hard use. The MD-900-2505-A solves these problems with Tilton's race-proven 6000-Series hydraulic release bearing technology, packaged as a complete bolt-on kit for GM T56, Magnum, and Magnum XL six-speed transmissions.

The engineering starts with a billet aluminum body and piston, precision-machined at Tilton's California facility. Unlike plastic-bodied OEM units that distort under heat cycling, the all-metal construction maintains tight tolerances even in demanding conditions. The high-temperature mono-seal design incorporates a quad tensioner to maintain proper seal loading - critical for consistent hydraulic pressure and long service life. This constant-contact bearing self-adjusts as your clutch wears, eliminating the need for periodic adjustment and maintaining the same pedal feel throughout the clutch's lifespan.

Installation leverages the OE CSC mounting feature on the T56/Magnum front plate, so this kit bolts directly in place of your factory hydraulic release bearing. The stainless steel threaded sleeve provides nearly 1.25 inches of height adjustability (1.77 to 3.00 inches total bearing height), accommodating everything from stock replacement clutches to aggressive racing setups. The full 0.700 inches of piston travel handles even high-clamp-load pressure plates.

Description

Hydraulic clutch systems demand leak-free, pressure-resistant fluid lines that won't degrade over time or expand under load. This 24-inch stainless steel braided line delivers the durability and consistent pedal feel that separates a professional hydraulic clutch installation from a compromise. The PTFE (Teflon) inner lining provides excellent chemical compatibility with all common hydraulic fluids while resisting the swelling and deterioration that plague standard rubber lines.

The stainless steel braided construction prevents expansion under pressure, maintaining a firm, responsive clutch pedal. Unlike rubber hoses that can balloon and soften pedal feel, stainless braided PTFE lines keep the inner diameter uniform for efficient fluid transfer. The clear plastic outer coating shields the braid from abrasion, contamination, and corrosion while letting you visually inspect line condition at a glance.

At 24 inches with a 1/4-inch I.D., this line is sized specifically for hydraulic clutch applications. It's an excellent choice when pairing a Tilton 6000 HRB with an -4AN male union to a firewall-mounted or bulkhead-mounted master cylinder. The straight -4AN female fittings on both ends connect directly to standard -4AN male adapters without additional fittings, reducing potential leak points and simplifying installation.

Description

Swap out that tired factory knob for the shifter ball that's been the performance standard for over five decades. When you glance into a serious build and see a chrome stick topped with a white cue ball, you know instantly that the driver takes performance seriously. This isn't nostalgia for its own sake -- it's about installing the same proven design that earned its reputation in the golden age of American muscle.

The molded-in brass thread insert is the key to eliminating the wobble and play that plagues cheap knock-offs. That solid connection to your shifter lever translates directly to more precise, confident shifts. The 1-7/8" diameter sits naturally in your palm -- large enough for positive grip, compact enough for rapid gear changes without fumbling. The high-gloss white finish and engraved shift pattern provide a clean, classic look that pairs perfectly with chrome shifter sticks.

Through careful engineering and high-quality materials. The 3/8"-16 thread specification fits aftermarket Hurst chrome shifter sticks and other compatible applications. Note: This thread pitch is not compatible with modern OEM metric applications or pre-1975 Hurst shifters (which used 3/8"-24 fine threads -- verify your shifter's thread specification before ordering).

What's Included

• White 6-speed shift ball with engraved pattern (1-7/8" diameter)
• Molded-in brass thread insert (3/8"-16)
• Jam nut for secure installation

Key Features

• 1-7/8" diameter for optimal grip and precise shift control

Description

One glance at that chrome stick and classic ball knob tells everyone in the car that you mean business. This black 6-speed version delivers the same iconic feel with a more subdued appearance while maintaining Hurst's commitment to precision shifting.

The 1-7/8" diameter has been refined through decades of real-world use to hit the ideal balance between a satisfying, substantial feel and quick, precise shift control. The high-gloss, high-strength polymer construction is a deliberate engineering choice, not a budget compromise. Polymer doesn't heat-soak the way bare metal does — anyone who has grabbed a polished aluminum knob after the car has been sitting in a summer parking lot knows the exact burn. The Hurst ball stays at a manageable temperature in hot weather and doesn't become an ice cube in winter. It's a practical choice wrapped in a beautiful package.

The molded-in brass thread insert ensures the threads hold up under real driving forces — the torque of a hard shift, vibration from a performance engine, and years of daily use without degrading. Plastic threads, by contrast, eventually strip out. Hurst doesn't cut corners here, and that investment in quality shows up in the long-term ownership experience. The 3/8"-16 thread size is the standard coarse-thread specification used on the vast majority of Hurst aftermarket chrome shifter sticks.

Through careful engineering and by using only high-quality components, Hurst shift levers and shift balls complete your vehicle's look — all backed by the history, heritage, and knowledge that Hurst has acquired over half a century of shifter design.

Finish your 6-speed swap the right way. This polished aluminum shift ball from MDL delivers the premium look and feel that separates a proper build from a parts-bin project. The 2-1/8" diameter provides the ideal grip size -- large enough for confident throws under hard driving, compact enough to clear console-mounted components without interference.

The laser-engraved 6-speed shift pattern on top gives you clear gear position reference that will never fade, chip, or wear off over years of aggressive shifting. Unlike printed or embossed patterns that deteriorate with use, the engraving is cut directly into the aluminum surface for permanent legibility. The MDL logo on the side confirms you're running genuine Modern Driveline equipment.

This shift ball features 16mm x 1.50 threading, which is the universal standard for aftermarket shift knobs.

Description

Upgrading to a Lokar shift lever on your TREMEC-equipped build but don't want to give up your favorite shift knob? This thread reducing insert solves the compatibility problem. Lokar shifters use 3/8-24 threads at the top of the lever, while many OEM and aftermarket shift knobs--including popular universal 16mm-threaded styles--won't thread directly onto that pattern. This insert bridges the gap, letting you mate a 16mm-threaded knob to your new Lokar lever.

The insert threads into the internal 16mm threads of your shift knob, presenting external 3/8-24 threads that mate directly to the Lokar lever. The included jam nut cinches down against the lever to lock the assembly in place, preventing the knob from backing off during spirited driving or repeated shifting. It's a small piece of hardware that makes a big difference when you're mixing and matching components to get exactly the look and feel you want in your build.

This reducer is a common solution for classic Jeep CJ5, CJ6, CJ7, and CJ8 later models, as well as 1936-1946 and 1967-1972 Chevy truck builds where Lokar shifters are installed on TREMEC T5, T45, T56, TKO, or TKX transmissions. If you've got a knob you love and a Lokar lever on the way, this is the adapter you need.

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

TREMEC T-56 Magnum, TKX, TKO, and T5 transmissions use a Ford-based mechanical speedometer drive, which creates a problem when you're running a GM chassis with a 7/8" threaded speedometer cable. Without an adapter, you're stuck either fabricating a custom cable or dealing with a leak-prone import solution that fails at the worst possible time.

This precision-machined adapter is engineered to eliminate the chronic leakage issues that plague cheaper alternatives. The double O-ring seal system addresses leaks at the transmission case opening, while a dedicated internal seal prevents fluid from wicking up through the cable attachment point—a common failure mode on single-seal designs. The Swiss steel drive spindle provides extra strength and accuracy for consistent speedometer readings over the life of the build.

The billet housing paired with a naval brass bushing ensures smooth cable rotation and extended service life, even in high-vibration environments. The one-piece construction eliminates the potential leak paths and wear points found in multi-piece adapter assemblies.

Fits Ford T5, all 3550/TKO models, TKX, Ford T56 with cable drive, all TREMEC Magnum six-speeds, and Ford three- and four-speed transmissions. Made in the USA with full warranty coverage.

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

• 21-tooth red gear follows Ford's factory color-coding system for manual transmissions

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
• Direct bolt-in fitment for Ford gear drive TKO and TKX transmissions
• 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.

What's Included

• 16-pulse digital speedometer sensor with three-pin connector
• 10-foot three-wire pigtail harness
• Allen-head mounting bolt

Key Features

• Microprocessor-controlled lockout system prevents accidental reverse engagement above approximately 5 MPH
• Six-wire harness with integrated inline fuse for complete installation
• Universal fitment for all T56, T56 Magnum, and TR6060 transmissions
• Weather-resistant construction - interior mounting recommended for maximum longevity
• Two dedicated wires for solenoid output control
• Two wires for VSS (vehicle speed sensor) signal input
• Switched power and ground connections included
• Eliminates need for brake light switch or manual button workarounds
• Factory-like speed-based operation without requiring an OEM computer

Description

When you swap a TREMEC T56, T56 Magnum, or TR6060 into a classic or performance build, you lose the factory computer's ability to control the reverse lockout solenoid. Without proper control, the transmission becomes prone to inadvertent grinding into reverse gear while attempting to shift into 5th - a common problem since these gears are located very close to each other in the shift pattern. Manual workarounds like wiring to the brake light switch create their own problems: you can step on the brake at highway speed and still accidentally engage reverse.

This Reverse Lockout Control Module solves the problem with intelligent speed-based control. The heart of this module is a microprocessor that continuously monitors vehicle speed through the VSS signal. At low vehicle speeds, the reverse lockout solenoid is energized, retracting the blocking pin and allowing you to shift smoothly into reverse. Above approximately 5 MPH, the module de-energizes the solenoid, locking out reverse gear access and preventing costly transmission damage from an accidental shift. This creates factory-like operation without the need for an OEM PCM or ECM.

The six-wire harness simplifies installation with dedicated circuits: two wires for switched power and ground, two wires for VSS signal input from the transmission speed sensor, and two wires for solenoid output. The integrated inline fuse protects the circuit. While the module features weather-resistant construction, mounting inside the vehicle interior is recommended for maximum longevity. The system requires no special programming or calibration - wire it up and it works.

This module is essential for any T56-family transmission swap where the factory computer control is unavailable. It controls the reverse lockout solenoid found on all Borg Warner and TREMEC T56, Magnum, and TR6060 transmissions, restoring the safety and convenience of proper reverse lockout operation that these transmissions were designed to have.

What's Included

• Reverse lockout control module with microprocessor
• Six-wire harness with color-coded leads
• Inline fuse
• Installation instructions
• MDL lifetime technical support

Key Features

• Integrates reverse lockout control, dual VSS outputs, and reverse light wiring into one harness
• Speed-based reverse lockout: locked above 4 MPH, unlocked at 0-3 MPH (user-adjustable via app)
• Dual independent speed sensor outputs with customizable pulse counts (default: 40-pulse and 16-pulse)
• Bluetooth-enabled epoxy-sealed controller mounts to existing VSS bolt
• Square wave output: -5V to +5V standard, auto-shifts to 0V to +10V for positive-only ECM inputs
• Replaces up to 5 separate components previously required for full functionality
• Free iOS and Android app for complete signal customization
• Compatible with Classic Instruments, Auto Meter, Dakota Digital, and GM Connect & Cruise packages

Description

Converting to a TREMEC 6-speed Magnum means wiring three critical electrical functions: the vehicle speed sensor, reverse lockout solenoid, and reverse lights. Traditionally, this required up to five separate components—signal converters, lockout controllers, pigtails, and individual harnesses—all needing integration. The Bowler 3-in-1 Harness consolidates everything into a single pre-wired solution with an intelligent, Bluetooth-configurable controller.

The T56 Magnum and TR6060 place reverse gear dangerously close to 5th gear, creating real potential for accidental engagement at highway speed. The reverse lockout solenoid uses a spring-loaded pin to resist shifts into reverse when de-energized. Most DIY wiring ties the solenoid to the brake light switch—a flawed approach since braking at speed still allows reverse engagement. This harness uses speed-based control like the OE system: the lockout engages above 4 MPH and releases only when the vehicle slows to 0-3 MPH. These thresholds are fully adjustable through the free smartphone app.

The dual speed sensor outputs solve one of the most frustrating wiring challenges in modern builds. Your ECM may need a different signal than your electronic speedometer or cruise control, forcing multiple converters. This harness provides two completely independent outputs—each calibrated separately with any pulse count and ratio you need. The outputs generate a square wave signal from approximately -5V to +5V, and automatically shift to 0V to +10V when your ECM requires a positive-only input. Works seamlessly with popular gauges from Classic Instruments, Auto Meter, and Dakota Digital.

The compact epoxy-sealed controller mounts directly to the VSS output using the existing bolt—no additional mounting hardware or locations needed. Power comes from a switched +12V circuit with ground to the negative battery post or engine block. This harness fits Ford & GM Standard T56 Magnum and Ford TR6060 transmissions. Note: Does not work with 2019 and newer Mustang ECM (Wavelength system).

What's Included

• Designed for use with MDL's MD-700-0100-2 reverse lockout control module
• Fits Ford and GM T56 applications

Description

The TREMEC T56 utilizes a reverse lockout solenoid to prevent accidental shifts into reverse while attempting to engage 5th gear--a critical safety feature because reverse and 5th are located very close to each other on the shift pattern. When the solenoid isn't energized, spring pressure against the shift rail makes reverse engagement difficult. When powered, the solenoid retracts the pin, allowing smooth entry into reverse. The problem? Classic cars and restomod builds lack the factory PCM logic to control this solenoid, leaving builders to either muscle through the lockout or rig up makeshift solutions.

This 6-foot harness provides the factory-style snap-in connector that mates directly with the T56's reverse lockout solenoid. The extended length gives you the flexibility to route wiring cleanly through the transmission tunnel, up through the firewall, and to your control module location without splicing or extending. The protective covering shields the conductors from exhaust heat, sharp edges, and underbody moisture--critical for a harness that lives in a harsh environment.

This harness is designed to work with MDL's MD-700-0100-2 reverse lockout control module, which monitors vehicle speed via the VSS signal and automatically energizes the solenoid below approximately 5-10 MPH for easy reverse engagement, then de-energizes it at higher speeds to prevent accidental shifts. The result is OEM-style lockout behavior without relying on makeshift brake-light-switch wiring or manual override buttons. Fits all TREMEC T56 6-speed transmissions in Ford and GM applications.

Description

Modern manual transmissions feature complex internal components -- multiple gear sets, clutch packs and narrow oil passageways -- that demand a steady supply of high-quality fluid to function properly. Without it, wear and sludge formation can lead to reduced performance and even catastrophic failure requiring thousands of dollars in repairs. This AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid delivers the Dexron III specification required by TREMEC transmissions while providing protection that exceeds conventional fluids.

In both normal and severe service, this synthetic ATF resists wear to the transmission's valve body, gears, clutch plates and synchronizers, helping your TREMEC achieve long service life. The thermally stable formulation guards against the harmful effects of thermal breakdown in elevated heat conditions, while resisting heat-related evaporation and viscosity loss to keep internal components clean and protected.

Formulated with friction modifiers that promote fast, smooth clutch engagement, this fluid delivers responsive shift feel and efficient torque transfer. It remains fluid in sub-zero temperatures, resisting thickening and flowing quickly for reliable shifts during cold starts. The excellent low-temperature fluidity also maximizes fuel efficiency. Seal conditioners help guard against leaks at input shaft seals and other critical points.

TREMEC TKX transmissions use Dexron III or Dexron III/Mercon specification ATF fluid, and Dexron III ATF is also recommended for T56 and TR3650 models. The T5, TKO and TKX five-speed transmissions require approximately 2.75 quarts, while six-speed Magnum transmissions require approximately 3.45 quarts. TREMEC recommends changing fluid after the initial 500-1000 mile break-in period, then every 30,000 miles thereafter.

Description

A TREMEC T56 6-speed transmission is simply too large to fit into an OE tunnel - these transmissions run over 34 inches in overall length with case dimensions that dwarf anything the factory ever installed. When you add header clearance into the equation, attempting to use a stock tunnel becomes an exercise in frustration. This MDL-exclusive sheet metal tunnel extension provides a purpose-built solution that eliminates complex custom fabrication while ensuring proper clearance for your T56 or TKO conversion.

Manufactured from 18-gauge steel using precision press-brake forming, this tunnel extension delivers consistent dimensions and clean bend lines that make fitment straightforward. The tapered design follows the natural contour of the transmission case - widest at the front where the main case requires maximum clearance, then narrowing toward the tailshaft housing. At 38.3 inches long with front dimensions of 10.6 inches wide by 6.8 inches high, there's ample room for the larger TREMEC case profiles.

This extension fits the most popular classic muscle car platforms: 1964-1972 GM A-Body applications including Chevelle, GTO, Tempest, Le Mans, and El Camino, plus 1965-1973 Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar. Installation requires cutting the existing factory tunnel and welding the extension in place - standard sheetmetal work for any competent fabrication shop. Note that the tunnel support brace is not included and may be required depending on your specific chassis.

Rather than spending hours fitting, trimming, and hammer-forming a custom solution, this MDL-exclusive panel gets your tunnel modification done right the first time. Made specifically for the transmission conversion market, it represents the kind of purpose-built solution that only comes from a company focused exclusively on manual drivetrain upgrades.

Description

Swapping a TREMEC T56 Magnum 6-speed into your first-gen F-body or X-body is one of the smartest upgrades you can make--700 lb-ft of torque capacity in a modern, smooth-shifting package. But the factory crossmember wasn't designed for it, which leaves you fabricating or hunting for a proper mounting solution. This crossmember solves that problem with a purpose-built, bolt-in design specifically engineered for the T56 Magnum in 1967-1969 Camaro and Firebird applications, plus 1968-1972 Nova.

The slim profile was designed with real-world builds in mind. Aftermarket exhaust systems--headers, X-pipes, and mandrel-bent setups--demand clearance that bulky crossmembers can't provide. This design threads the needle, giving you room for your exhaust without compromising transmission support. The black powder coat finish protects against corrosion, so it'll look as good under the car as the day you bolted it in.

Installation uses your existing factory frame mounting points, so you get a clean, reversible install with no cutting, welding, or permanent modifications to your classic. The crossmember works with both stock subframes and Detroit Speed Engineering aftermarket subframes, making it compatible with a wide range of builds. Note that this crossmember is designed for Small Block Chevy and LS engines in the factory engine position--it will not work with setback motor mounts that alter the engine's fore-aft location.

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.
