Description

Swapping an LS engine into your 1970-1974 Camaro demands a transmission that can match its power output and modern refinement. This comprehensive TKX conversion package delivers TREMEC's latest 5-speed technology with a 600 lb-ft torque capacity, purpose-built for high-performance LS applications. Unlike cobbled-together swaps that leave you fighting fitment issues, this package provides every component needed for a professional installation - from bellhousing to console - all selected and tested for proper compatibility.

TREMEC engineered the TKX case specifically to fit within the narrow tunnel confines found in early F-bodies and A-bodies without requiring floor surgery. The compact end-loading design provides superior tunnel clearance while the ribbed 3-piece aluminum housing (main case, intermediate plate, and rear extension) delivers exceptional structural stiffness that translates to precise, notch-free shifting. Multi-cone synchronizers with hybrid sintered bronze and carbon rings enable smooth shifts even at the 7,500 RPM shift points your LS engine demands - a massive improvement over brass synchro transmissions that struggle above 5,500 RPM.

Engineering advantages run deep throughout the TKX. All gears and shafts are machined from special grade ASTM 4615 steel for increased torque carrying capacity, while wide gear widths extend service life under hard use. Tapered roller bearings on the input, output, and counter shafts reduce noise and improve durability compared to older needle bearing designs. The billet aluminum shifter isolates road noise while providing the clean, crisp shift action expected from a modern performance transmission - a dramatic improvement over cable or rod-shifted alternatives. At just 99 lbs dry weight with a 2.7-quart fluid capacity, the TKX keeps weight reasonable while delivering serious durability.

This package approach eliminates the guesswork of piecing together compatible components. Every element has been selected for proper fitment with LS engines in 1970-1974 Camaro applications, including custom offset shifters that position the lever correctly within the factory console opening. Multiple gear ratio options are available: wide-ratio (3.27, 1.98, 1.34, 1.00, 0.72) for maximum street performance, or close-ratio (2.87, 1.89, 1.28, 1.00, 0.68 or 0.81) for highway cruising efficiency. The single overdrive drops highway RPMs significantly, reducing engine wear and increasing fuel economy while making those long drives genuinely enjoyable.
