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 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. Multiple shift stub relocation kits are available for use with factory 4-speed consoles. When you purchase from MDL, you get our extended warranty coverage plus lifetime technical support from drivetrain experts who actually use these parts.

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

Sourcing the correct hardware for a T56 Magnum installation can derail an otherwise straightforward build. Different bolt lengths, thread pitches, and grades are required at various mounting points throughout the bellhousing assembly, and mixing up specifications leads to stripped threads, improper clamping force, or worse. This hardware kit eliminates the guesswork by providing every fastener needed to properly mount your steel bellhousing to an LS engine block and bolt the T56 Magnum transmission to the bellhousing.

The kit includes eight 10mm-1.5 x 50mm hex flange bolts with black finish for the primary bellhousing-to-engine connection, along with eight 10mm-1.5 x 40mm black hex flange bolts for transmission-to-bellhousing mounting. Two shorter 10mm-1.5 x 30mm hex flange bolts handle secondary mounting locations. For high-stress connection points, two Grade 8 7/16-14 x 1 inch UNC hex bolts deliver the strength needed to handle drivetrain loads without stretching or backing out.

Two Grade 5 6mm-1.0 x 16mm hex bolts round out the fastener selection for accessory mounting points. Lock washers in 7/16-inch sizing are included to prevent loosening under vibration. Each fastener is sized and graded for its specific location in the assembly - the right hardware in the right place every time.

This kit is designed specifically for steel bellhousing installations. Aluminum bellhousings use different bolt lengths due to material thickness differences. Compatible with Chevrolet LS engines paired with TREMEC T56 Magnum transmissions.

Product Overview

Reducing flywheel weight is one of the most effective ways to improve throttle response and free up horsepower that would otherwise be lost spinning excess rotating mass. This lightened billet steel flywheel strips weight strategically while retaining the structural integrity and heat dissipation characteristics that billet steel provides. The result is quicker revs, sharper acceleration, and a more responsive drivetrain without the harsh engagement or stalling tendencies of ultra-lightweight aluminum units.

This flywheel is engineered for internally balanced (zero balance) Chevy small block and big block engines with 2-piece rear main seals. That covers the classic 265, 283, 302, 305, 307, 327, 350, 396, 402, and 427 cubic inch displacements, plus the 572 crate engine. The 2.485" crankshaft register diameter and six-bolt flange pattern ensure proper centering and secure mounting on these applications. Keep in mind that 400 small blocks and 454 big blocks use external balance cranks and require a different flywheel.

The dual clutch bolt pattern gives you flexibility in clutch selection, accepting both GM 10.5" clutches with the 11-5/8" bolt circle and 11" clutches with the 12-5/8" bolt circle. At 25 pounds, this flywheel sits in the sweet spot between full-weight OEM units and aggressive race-only aluminum flywheels, delivering noticeable performance improvement while maintaining smooth engagement and everyday drivability. The 168-tooth ring gear works with standard Chevy starters and fits most aftermarket bellhousings.

Kit Includes

• Lightened billet steel flywheel with 168-tooth ring gear
• Precision-machined friction surface
• Lifetime tech support from MDL

Key Features

• Nodular (ductile) iron construction delivers superior tensile strength, impact resistance, and crack resistance over gray cast iron

• Direct bolt-in replacement--no resurfacing of a worn core required

Description

Whether you're converting to a manual transmission or replacing a worn or damaged flywheel, this nodular iron unit delivers a cost-effective upgrade over gray cast iron without the expense of billet steel. Nodular iron--also known as ductile iron--transforms gray iron's crack-promoting graphite flakes into spheres through a specialized alloying process. The result is a material with superior yield strength, elongation, and impact resistance compared to conventional cast iron, making it an excellent choice for high-performance street engines.

This flywheel fits '55-'85 Chevy small block and big block V8s equipped with two-piece rear main seals. The 2.485" crankshaft register bore ensures proper centering on compatible cranks, while six 7/16" bolts secure the flywheel to the crankshaft flange. The precision-machined clutch surface provides consistent engagement, and the zero balance specification makes this flywheel compatible with all internally balanced engines from this era--265, 283, 302, 305, 327, 350, 396, 427, and 454 applications included.

The 168-tooth ring gear measures 14.086" in diameter and requires an angle bolt pattern starter. Transmission bellhousings will clear both 153-tooth and 168-tooth flywheels, but starter selection is critical--verify your block is drilled for the angle bolt pattern or plan to add the holes. The 12-5/8" pressure plate bolt pattern accepts 11" clutch discs, giving you access to higher-capacity clutch options compared to the smaller 153-tooth flywheels limited to 10.5" discs.

At 30 lbs., this flywheel provides adequate rotational mass for smooth idle and engagement characteristics on street-driven vehicles. Nodular iron is an ideal balance between the brittleness of gray iron and the cost of SFI-rated billet steel--well suited for spirited street use below 6,000 RPM. For dedicated racing applications or engines running sustained high RPM, step up to a billet steel SFI-rated unit.

Description

When GM introduced the one-piece rear main seal on 1991-and-later 454 big-block engines, the flywheel mounting dimensions changed significantly from the earlier two-piece seal design. This lightened billet steel flywheel is purpose-built for Gen V and Gen VI 454 engines, featuring the correct 2.485-inch center register bore and updated bolt circle that one-piece rear main seal cranks require. If your block rolled off the line in 1991 or later, this is the flywheel that fits.

At 25 pounds, this billet steel unit cuts significant rotational mass compared to heavy OEM cast iron flywheels while retaining the durability and heat capacity that street-driven big-blocks demand. The external balance design incorporates the precise counterweight distribution required by 454 rotating assemblies, which cannot achieve internal balance due to stroke length and counterweight packaging constraints inside the crankcase.

The 168-tooth ring gear ensures proper engagement with angle-bolt-pattern starters standard on big-block Chevy applications. The 12-5/8-inch clutch bolt pattern is sized for 11-inch pressure plates, making this flywheel ideal for street performance builds where improved throttle response and quicker revs matter without sacrificing smooth launches and daily drivability.

This flywheel will not fit earlier 1970-1990 Mark IV 454 engines with two-piece rear main seals--those applications require a different flywheel with different mounting dimensions. Precision-machined and made in the USA, this flywheel delivers the quality and fitment accuracy your 454 manual transmission conversion or rebuild demands.

What's Included

• One lightened billet steel flywheel with 168-tooth ring gear
• External balance counterweighting for 1991-up 454 applications
• Precision-machined friction surface

Key Features

• Nodular (ductile) iron construction delivers superior yield strength, elongation, and impact resistance compared to gray cast iron
• 168-tooth ring gear with external balance weight configuration for 383/400 small block Chevy engines
• Designed for 1970-1985 two-piece rear main seal applications
• Supports single disc clutches up to 11 inches in diameter
• Six-bolt crankshaft mounting pattern
• 12-5/8" equidistant clutch pressure plate bolt pattern

• Cost-effective upgrade over stock gray cast iron flywheels for high-performance street engines

Description

When you're building a 383 stroker or freshening a 400 small block Chevy, the flywheel choice matters more than most builders realize. Gray cast iron flywheels work fine for stock applications, but they shouldn't be associated with high horsepower, sticky drag radials, or engines that see more than 6,000 rpm. This nodular iron flywheel solves that problem by delivering the ductility and impact resistance your performance build demands -- without the expense of stepping up to billet steel.

Nodular iron (also called ductile iron) gets its strength from an alloying process that converts gray iron's crack-promoting graphite flakes into spheres, or nodules. This microstructural transformation gives the metal superior ductile characteristics with advantages over gray iron in yield strength, elongation, and impact resistance. For a high-performance street engine that sees spirited driving but doesn't require SFI certification for organized competition, nodular iron represents the sweet spot between cost and capability.

The 400 SBC and aftermarket 383 strokers built on 400 cranks require externally balanced flywheels with weighted counterbalance -- you cannot use a neutral-balance 350 flywheel. This 168-tooth configuration matches the larger flywheel diameter common in truck and full-size applications and provides proper starter engagement. The six-bolt crankshaft mounting pattern secures directly to your two-piece rear main seal crankshaft, and the 12-5/8" equidistant clutch bolt pattern accepts industry-standard pressure plates.

Each flywheel is precision machined to specification after casting, then balanced and inspected for quality and fitment. Compatible with single disc clutches up to 11 inches in diameter, giving you flexibility in clutch selection for your power level and driving style. Fits 1970-1985 Chevrolet 383 and 400 engines with two-piece rear main seal cranks.

What's Included

• Nodular iron flywheel with 168-tooth ring gear
• External balance weight configuration

Key Features

• Billet steel construction for superior strength over cast iron in high-torque applications

• 6-bolt crankshaft flange with 3.580-inch bolt pattern for 2-piece rear main seal blocks
• 2.485-inch crank register bore ensures precise crankshaft alignment
• Accepts 11-inch clutch assemblies with 12-5/8-inch pressure plate bolt pattern
• Direct fit for 1970-1985 Chevy 400 and externally balanced 383 stroker builds
• Made in the USA

Description

The Chevy 400 small block and 383 stroker combinations share a common challenge: they require externally balanced rotating assemblies. Unlike internally balanced engines where all counterweight mass lives on the crankshaft, the 400's longer 3.75-inch stroke demanded offset weight on both the harmonic balancer and flywheel to achieve proper balance. This MDL billet steel flywheel carries the correct external balance weighting to eliminate vibration and ensure smooth operation throughout the RPM range.

Billet steel construction delivers significant advantages over factory-style cast iron flywheels in performance applications. Cast flywheels can crack or fail catastrophically under high-RPM use, while billet steel provides the structural integrity these high-torque engines demand. The precision-machined clutch surface is ready for installation with your choice of 11-inch clutch assemblies using the 12-5/8-inch bolt pattern.

The 168-tooth ring gear provides better mechanical advantage for your starter motor, reducing amperage draw and improving cranking performance on high-compression builds. The larger diameter ring gear was factory equipment on all 400 small blocks and is the proper choice when running externally balanced 383 stroker combinations with 400 crankshafts. Note that the 168-tooth flywheel requires a starter with the diagonal (offset) bolt pattern.

Engineered specifically for 1970-1985 two-piece rear main seal Chevy blocks, this flywheel features the correct 6-bolt mounting pattern with 3.580-inch bolt circle and 2.485-inch crank register bore. Whether you're building a numbers-matching 400 restoration or assembling a streetable 383 stroker, this American-made billet flywheel provides the foundation for a reliable, vibration-free manual transmission swap.

• Made in the USA

Description

When you need to shed rotating weight without sacrificing reliability, this billet aluminum flywheel delivers the performance advantage serious builds demand. Aluminum construction significantly reduces rotational mass compared to cast iron or steel units, allowing the engine to rev faster and respond more sharply to throttle inputs - critical for track applications where every millisecond of engine response matters.

This flywheel is precision-machined from billet aluminum and features a riveted steel clutch facing that ensures the ring gear stays permanently attached to the flywheel body. Unlike press-fit or interference-fit ring gears that can walk off under high-RPM abuse, this riveted design eliminates separation concerns. The 168-tooth configuration provides proper starter engagement for 1986 and later Chevy 5.7L applications that require external balance.

Six mounting bolts secure the flywheel to the crankshaft using 7/16" hardware, while the 12-5/8" pressure plate bolt pattern accommodates standard 11" clutch setups. Built specifically for external balance 5.7L engines with one-piece rear main seals, this flywheel eliminates the guesswork in engine balancing for '86-up Gen II small blocks. It is recommended to warm the flywheel before installation to ensure proper thermal expansion during mounting.

Note: Aluminum flywheels store and transmit less inertia than steel units. While this improves throttle response, it also makes the engine easier to stall at low RPMs. If pairing with a dual-disc clutch set, the added disc mass offsets some of this effect. Aluminum flywheels should never be paired with ceramic or bronze clutches due to the added heat they generate. Made in the USA.

Description

When you need better strength than brittle cast gray iron but don't require the cost of billet steel, nodular iron delivers the ideal middle ground. This flywheel replaces factory and gray iron units with superior nodular iron construction that transforms the crack-promoting graphite flakes found in conventional castings into spheres or nodules - giving the metal enhanced ductility, yield strength, and impact resistance.

At 30 pounds, this flywheel maintains the standard weight range that V8 street engines need for smooth operation. Heavier flywheels store more rotational energy to help get your vehicle moving smoothly from stops and reduce the abrupt engagement characteristics that lightweight flywheels can exhibit in traffic. The 168-tooth ring gear requires an angle-mount starter and fits large GM bellhousings - if you're switching from a 153-tooth flywheel, confirm your starter bolt pattern matches.

Designed specifically for 1986-up Gen II small block Chevy engines with one-piece rear main seals, this flywheel features the smaller 3.00-inch crankshaft bolt circle and 2.067-inch register bore that distinguish one-piece seal engines from earlier two-piece designs. The 23oz external imbalance is factory-correct for stock 305/5.0L and 350/5.7L rotating assemblies - note that this flywheel does not fit 383 stroker combinations, which typically require a neutral-balance or differently-weighted flywheel depending on crankshaft selection.

The 12-5/8-inch pressure plate bolt pattern accepts standard 11-inch single disk clutches. For motorsports applications, understand that while nodular iron offers significant improvements over gray iron, billet steel remains the preferred choice for sustained high-rpm use above 6,000 rpm or high-horsepower drag racing with sticky tires.

Description

High-output GM builds often face a clutch dilemma: maximum holding power is required, but engine bay constraints prevent stepping up to a larger diameter disc. The Superior 11" Kevlar/Ceramic clutch set solves this problem by combining aggressive friction materials with a low lever height design specifically engineered for hydraulic concentric slave cylinder applications. The result is 600 lb-ft of torque capacity in a package that clears modern hydraulic release systems without binding or inconsistent pedal feel.

The dual-compound friction disc places Kevlar on the pressure plate side and ceramic on the flywheel side--a combination that delivers the best of both materials. Ceramic's higher coefficient of friction provides the hard-hitting bite needed for drag launches and quick shifts, while Kevlar contributes smoother engagement characteristics. The ceramic material contains iron particles that actually increase friction as temperatures rise, making this clutch thrive under sustained abuse in road course and strip conditions where lesser friction materials would fade.

Every Superior clutch disc is hand-assembled in MDL's facility to exacting tolerances. Double-riveted construction ensures the friction material stays put under repeated high-load cycles, while the sprung hub design absorbs driveline shock and smooths power delivery. The diaphragm-style pressure plate provides consistent clamping force across the entire disc surface. This clutch set fits GM bellhousing patterns with a 12-5/8" equalizer bolt pattern and mates to any 26-spline, 1-1/8" input shaft--including TREMEC TKX, TKO, and T56 Magnum transmissions.

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.

Compatible with 1955-1985 Chevy V8 applications using transmissions with a 26-spline x 1-1/8" input shaft. Break-in requires 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving to properly seat the discs - actuate the clutch 1,200-1,500 times before any wide-open throttle driving. Pilot and throwout bearings sold separately. Backed by lifetime technical support from Modern Driveline.

Description

When your small block or big block Chevy build demands serious torque capacity without sacrificing street manners, the Tilton ST-246 twin-disc clutch delivers. Rated at 850 lb-ft with its sprung-hub organic discs, this assembly provides the holding power of a race clutch with engagement smooth enough for daily driving. The sprung center hub dampens engine vibrations and reduces gearbox noise—critical for street applications where you want performance without the harshness of a solid-hub setup.

Unlike many performance clutches that bolt a floater plate onto an OEM-type stamped steel pressure plate, the ST-246 was engineered from the ground up as a true twin-disc clutch. The precision-machined aluminum clutch cover shares technology directly from Tilton's championship-winning OT-Series racing clutches, delivering superior strength, stiffness, and dynamic balance compared to stamped steel alternatives. The high-mass main pressure plate and floater plate—machined from the same proprietary materials used in Tilton's racing clutches—provide exceptional heat capacity and resist warpage under hard use. The floater plate runs twice the thickness of most competing twin-disc designs, which eliminates gear clatter and dramatically improves heat dissipation.

The billet chromoly steel flywheel features a precision register that locates the clutch for optimal balance of the entire assembly—a significant improvement over the loose-fitting bolts and dowels typical of stamped steel clutch setups. The integrated 153-tooth chromoly ring gear matches early Chevy starters and eliminates the failure point of separate ring gear assemblies. Internal balance configuration suits traditional small block and big block Chevy engines.

This kit fits TREMEC T56 Magnum and TKO transmissions with 26-spline, 1-1/8-inch input shafts. Compatible with OEM release bearings for straightforward installation. Since 1972, Tilton Engineering has supplied small-diameter racing clutches to championships in F1, NASCAR, IMSA, IndyCar, SCCA, Formula Drift, and SCORE—the ST-246 brings that same engineering to high-performance street applications.

Description

When your Small Block or Big Block Chevy build demands serious holding power, generic twin-disc setups with stamped steel pressure plates fall short. The Tilton ST-246 was engineered from the ground up as a true performance twin-disc clutch - not an OEM-type stamped steel pressure plate with a floater added. This complete clutch and flywheel assembly handles 1250 lb-ft of torque through advanced engineering that Tilton has proven across nearly 50 years of racing clutch development.

The precision-machined aluminum clutch cover shares technology from Tilton's championship-winning OT-Series racing clutches, featuring heavy-duty straps that attach the pressure plate and floater plate to minimize noise and provide clean clutch release. The floater plate is twice the thickness of most competitors, which eliminates the gear rattle that plagues thin-plate designs while providing superior heat dissipation for consistent performance under demanding street/strip use.

The high-mass main pressure plate and floater plate are machined from the same proprietary materials used in Tilton's racing clutches, providing high heat capacity and resistance to warpage. The solid-hub cerametallic discs deliver positive, precise engagement characteristics ideal for street/strip applications where maximum holding power is non-negotiable. Unlike sprung-hub organic designs, the solid hub construction provides the strength required for high-torque applications.

The chromoly steel flywheel features an integrated ring gear and precision register that locates the clutch for optimal balance - eliminating the loose-fitting bolts and dowels used with stamped steel designs. This assembly is internally balanced and ready to install on any Chevy Small Block or Big Block with a 6-bolt crankshaft pattern. Compatible with OEM release bearings; for GM TKO/TKX applications with hydraulic release, see item# MD-900-2507-A for an HRB. Pilot bearing and throwout bearing sold separately.

Key Features

• 1.094" outside diameter x 0.590" inside diameter - precision-sized for Chevy small block, big block, and GM Gen 6 V8 crankshafts
• 0.500" width for proper crankshaft engagement depth
• Oilite bronze construction - sintered bronze impregnated with oil for self-lubrication throughout service life
• No external greasing required - grease actually seals the pores and reduces lubrication effectiveness
• OEM-specification dimensions ensure proper fit and transmission input shaft support
• Essential for manual transmission swaps using motor mounts or torque plates between engine and bellhousing

Description

A worn or incorrectly sized pilot bushing causes input shaft wobble, accelerates clutch disc wear, and can damage transmission internals. This heavy-duty Oilite bronze pilot bushing provides the precise crankshaft-to-input shaft alignment your Chevy V8 drivetrain demands. The 1.094" OD and 0.590" ID dimensions match OEM specifications for small block, big block, and GM Gen 6 engines originally equipped for manual transmission use.

Unlike standard bronze bushings that require periodic lubrication, this bushing is manufactured from sintered Oilite bronze - a porous material impregnated with oil during production. As the transmission input shaft rotates and generates heat, oil seeps from the microscopic pores to create a continuous lubricating film. When the shaft stops, the bushing reabsorbs the oil. This self-lubricating design eliminates the need for grease application, which actually seals the pores and defeats the purpose of the oil-impregnated construction.

Use this pilot bushing when your drivetrain setup includes motor mounts or torque plates between the engine and bellhousing. The 0.500" width provides proper engagement depth in the crankshaft bore while fully supporting the transmission input shaft snout. For easiest installation, freeze the bushing before pressing it into the crankshaft pilot bore - the thermal contraction eases the interference fit. To remove an old bushing, pack the center cavity with bread and drive out with a punch; this method is far less messy than the traditional grease-pack approach.

This is a wear item that should be replaced with every clutch service, even if it appears serviceable. A fresh bushing costs far less than the transmission teardown required to fix damage from a worn pilot support.

What's Included

• (1) Oilite bronze pilot bushing, oil-impregnated
• Dimensions: 1.094" OD x 0.590" ID x 0.500" width

Key Features

• 1.096" outer diameter x 0.590" inner diameter - sized for TREMEC input shafts
• 0.720" width provides proper input shaft support depth
• Inner landing design fits the innermost pocket of LS crankshaft flanges
• Sealed bearing construction prevents contamination and lubricant loss
• Correct bearing for LS3 T-56 conversion applications and similar setups
• Compatible with GM LS1, LS3, and LS6 engines

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)

Key Features

Description

Converting your '64-'66 A-body from automatic to manual transmission requires a clutch pedal assembly that can handle repeated engagement stress without flexing or bending. Stock pedals and worn reproductions often deflect under pressure, creating an inconsistent clutch feel that makes smooth shifting difficult. This MDL pedal set solves that problem with reinforced construction specifically engineered for the demands of performance driving.

The key engineering improvement is the welded gusset that ties the pedal structure together. This reinforcement eliminates the flex that plagues factory-style pedals, delivering a solid, predictable feel every time you engage the clutch. Laser-cut steel ensures exact reproduction of factory mounting points, while CNC bends deliver proper pedal geometry for correct leverage ratios. The removable pivot shaft makes installation significantly easier - especially when working around existing brake components during a conversion.

This pedal set is specifically designed for bolt-style applications - vehicles that originally came with bolt-style pedal hangers. If your car has the pin-style hanger with retaining clips, you will need the pin-style version (MD-402-2005-P). The forward-mount master cylinder position and firewall mounting configuration work with both disc and drum brake setups. The black powder coat finish provides long-term durability while maintaining a factory-correct appearance.

Fits all 1964-1966 GM A-body vehicles including Chevelle and El Camino. Uses your existing pedal support structure whether from an automatic or manual transmission car. Complete your conversion with MDL pedal pad kits featuring stainless steel trim rings - see MD-412-0303-DB for disc brake applications or MD-412-0303-MB for manual brake setups.

Description

After decades of clutch dumps and hard stops, factory pedal pads crack, tear, and wear smooth--leaving you with exposed metal, a sloppy foothold, and an interior that looks neglected. This pedal pad kit restores proper grip and OEM appearance to manual transmission GM vehicles equipped with disc brakes.

The kit includes a 3" disc brake pedal pad and a 2" clutch pedal pad, both featuring the correct horizontal ribbed pattern that matches factory originals. The ribbing isn't just cosmetic--it provides the grip you need for precise pedal modulation, especially during spirited driving or heel-toe downshifts. The included stainless steel trim rings replicate the chrome OEM bezels, eliminating the unfinished look of exposed rubber edges and giving your pedal box that factory-fresh appearance.

Applications include 1967-81 Camaro and Firebird, 1964-72 Chevelle, 1968-79 Nova, 1971-75 Vega, and 1973-74 Ventura/Omega models with manual transmission and disc brake configurations. The pads mount directly to existing pedal assemblies--simply remove the old worn pads and press the replacements into place.

What's Included

• 3" disc brake pedal pad with horizontal rib pattern
• 2" clutch pedal pad with horizontal rib pattern
• Stainless steel trim rings (pair)

Key Features

• 3-inch manual brake pedal pad and 3-inch clutch pedal pad for full-size pedal applications
• Stainless steel trim rings deliver authentic OEM appearance
• 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.

What's Included

• 3-inch manual brake pedal pad
• 3-inch clutch pedal pad
• Stainless steel trim ring (qty. 2)

Description

Converting your 1964-1966 Chevelle or GM A-body to hydraulic clutch actuation eliminates the adjustment headaches and heavy pedal effort that come with worn mechanical linkage. The LF Series Master Cylinder Kit delivers a complete retrofit solution engineered specifically for these chassis, removing the guesswork of sourcing components and figuring out mounting strategies.

The LF Series features a revolutionary design that solves the problems caused by direct-mount master cylinders. The common approach of bolting a 3/4" or 7/8" bore by 1" stroke cylinder directly to the pedal results in improper pedal pressure, excessive firewall loading, and poor modulation. MDL's mechanical linkage design provides mechanical advantage, reducing pedal pressure while allowing full pedal stroke to maximize clutch control. The linkage positions the cylinder perpendicular to the firewall for optimal force distribution and allows use of the factory clutch rod hole for a cleaner installation.

The 0.750" bore paired with a 1.2" stroke generates the precise fluid volume needed for modern hydraulic slave systems while maintaining light pedal effort. The firewall support bracket not only prevents flex under load but sets the master cylinder at the correct angle for proper pedal stroke and feel. The black plastic remote reservoir mounts separately on the firewall, keeping brake fluid away from the cylinder and simplifying installation.

This kit works with factory clutch pedals and most aftermarket OE reproduction pedals. Requires factory components to be in good working order - any modifications or damage to the firewall, pedal, or pedal hanger will affect master cylinder performance. Compatible with 1964-1966 Chevelle, Malibu, Monte Carlo, Tempest, LeMans, GTO, Grand Am, Grand Prix, Cutlass, Skylark, Century, and Regal. Made in the USA.

Description

Converting your '64-'66 Chevelle or GM A-body to hydraulic clutch actuation eliminates the headaches of worn Z-bar linkage, heavy pedal effort, and inconsistent engagement. The MDL LF Series Master Cylinder Kit provides a complete, engineered solution that maintains your stock pedal geometry while delivering the smooth, progressive clutch feel modern hydraulics provide.

The 0.750" bore master cylinder with 1.2" stroke produces 0.530 cubic inches of fluid displacement per stroke - enough volume to actuate most aftermarket external slave cylinders and internal hydraulic release bearings while keeping pedal effort light. The small-bore, long-stroke design generates maximum fluid volume with minimal firewall loading, so you get full clutch release without flex or fatigue at the mounting point.

The kit's firewall bracket serves two purposes: it distributes mounting loads across a reinforced area of the firewall, and it positions the master cylinder at the correct angle to utilize the full pedal arc. This geometry optimization means you get complete clutch release at the bottom of the stroke without the pedal bottoming out. The direct pedal mounting system uses your existing clutch rod hole where possible, preserving stock appearance and maintaining the factory pivot point.

The silver billet aluminum remote reservoir mounts away from the firewall for clean underhood aesthetics and easy fluid level inspection. Each kit includes MDL's proprietary One-Man-Bleeder Kit and comprehensive installation instructions. Works with stock clutch pedals and OE reproduction pedals. Requires DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.

Description

When installing a TREMEC T56 or Magnum six-speed behind an LS engine, the standard GM CSC bearing with its quick-disconnect fitting often creates clearance nightmares. The rigid quick-disconnect protrudes from the bellhousing and frequently interferes with transmission tunnel walls, forcing builders into costly bodywork or frustrating component relocation.

Modern Driveline took the ever-popular GM LS CSC bearing and made it better. This low-clearance design eliminates the problematic quick-disconnect entirely, replacing it with flexible stainless steel braided lines that bend and route around obstacles. The flexible lines allow the braided assembly to make the turn out of the bellhousing without tunnel interference, while maintaining full hydraulic functionality and OE-quality clutch release performance.

The braided lines feature -4AN fittings and stainless steel construction for durability and consistent pedal feel. The remote bleed line provides easy access to the vent/bleed port, eliminating the need to access tight bellhousing areas during system bleeding and maintenance. The coupled line design keeps both supply and bleed lines organized and secure during installation and operation.

Compatible with GM LS engines paired with T56, Magnum, or Super Magnum six-speed transmissions. The bolt-on design mounts directly to the transmission's CSC mounting provisions using OE-spec hardware.

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. Dual braided stainless lines with swivel fittings provide both supply and dedicated bleed access, making system bleeding and maintenance straightforward.

Compatible with GM LS T56 and Magnum six-speed transmissions to replace the stock CSC. Also fits 2005-10 Mustang with T5/TR3650, 2007-14 Shelby GT500 TR6060, and 2011+ Mustang with MT-82/GT350 3160.

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
• High-gloss, high-strength polymer resin construction

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.

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.

This rubber shifter boot restores the critical barrier between the transmission tunnel and cabin on 1964-1967 Chevelle models equipped with round stick shifters.

Constructed from flexible rubber, this boot accommodates full shifter travel without binding while maintaining a tight seal at the base. The precision-molded design fits the round shifter handle opening, matching the factory configuration for a clean, stock-correct appearance.

Installation is straightforward and rates as an easy difficulty level - no special tools or expertise required. Whether you're finishing a restoration or simply replacing a deteriorated boot on your driver, this is a quick upgrade that keeps your interior clean and quiet.

What's Included

• Rubber shifter boot

Key Features

• Secures rubber shifter boot to floor hump on non-console Chevelles
• Direct replacement for 1964-1967 applications
• Mounting hardware included for complete installation
• Factory-style design seals out dirt, moisture, and road noise
• Easy installation - beginner-friendly difficulty level

Description

Non-console Chevelles use a retaining ring to secure the rubber shifter boot to the floor hump - without it, the boot won't seal properly and you're left with dirt, moisture, and exhaust fumes entering the cabin around the shifter opening. This reproduction lower shifter boot ring replaces the original factory component that's often missing or damaged on restoration projects.

The retaining ring mounts under the carpet and creates the foundation for a proper boot installation. The ring seals the rubber boot to the floor, preventing debris and road noise from entering through the shifter opening. This is the same mounting system GM used on original non-console applications - the ring secures to the floor hump, carpet fits over top, and the boot assembly completes the seal at the shifter.

Designed specifically for 1964-1967 Chevelle applications without a center console, this retaining ring works with standard rubber shifter boots to complete the lower sealing system. The included mounting hardware means you have everything needed for installation without hunting for fasteners.

What's Included

• Lower shifter boot retaining ring
• Mounting hardware

Key Features

• Converts Ford-style slip-in speedometer drive to GM 7/8" threaded cable connection
• Fits Ford T5, all 3550/TKO transmissions, Ford T56 with cable drive, and all TREMEC Magnum six-speeds
• Double O-ring seal at the transmission case plus internal seal to prevent fluid leaks

Description

TREMEC T56 Magnum, TKX, and TKO transmissions all use a Ford-style mechanical speedometer drive, which creates a compatibility problem for GM muscle cars and hot rods equipped with traditional GM speedometers and 7/8" threaded cables. Rather than sourcing an expensive custom cable, this adapter assembly converts the Ford slip-in driven gear interface to accept a standard GM threaded speedometer cable directly.

The adapter features a double O-ring seal at the transmission case opening combined with an internal seal where the cable attaches. This dual-seal design addresses a common complaint with lesser adapters that allow transmission fluid to leak through the cable attachment point. Steel construction ensures the drive spindle maintains accuracy and durability under demanding conditions.

Installation is straightforward: the adapter inserts into the transmission's speedometer housing where the driven gear normally sits, and your existing GM speedometer cable threads onto the adapter's external 7/8" fitting. This assembly fits Ford T5, all 3550/TKO variants, Ford T56 transmissions with cable drive, and all TREMEC Magnum six-speed transmissions. Note that speedometer driven gears and retaining clips are sold separately and must be matched to your tire size and rear axle ratio for accurate speedometer readings. Made internationally.

What's Included

• Speedometer cable adapter assembly with steel drive spindle
• Full manufacturer's warranty

Key Features

• Converts Ford slip-in speedometer drive to GM 7/8" threaded cable connection
• Double O-ring seal system prevents transmission case leakage at the housing

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.

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

• 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

• Largest standard driven gear tooth count available for maximum speedometer correction
• Fits all TREMEC transmissions using Ford-style speedometer systems: T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum
• Precision molded nylon construction for smooth, quiet operation and long service life
• Direct drop-in replacement--no modifications required

Description

Swapping to a 5 or 6-speed TREMEC transmission changes your final drive ratio, which throws off your factory speedometer calibration. This 21-tooth red driven gear lets you recalibrate your mechanical speedometer to read accurately with your specific tire size and rear axle ratio combination--no electronic tuner required.

Ford has used a consistent color-coding system for manual transmission speedometer gears since the 1960s: 16-tooth wine, 17-tooth white, 18-tooth yellow, 19-tooth pink, 20-tooth black, and 21-tooth red. As the largest tooth count in the standard range, this red 21-tooth gear provides maximum correction for applications with taller tires or numerically higher axle ratios. Each tooth of difference adjusts your speedometer reading approximately 5-6%, so selecting the correct count is critical for accuracy.

The driven gear installs into the speedometer housing on the tailshaft of your transmission, where it meshes with the drive gear on the output shaft. TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions come from the factory with a 7-tooth drive gear, making this 21-tooth driven gear the correct starting point for common combinations like 3.55 or 3.73 rear gears with 26-inch or taller tires. Use a speedometer gear calculator with your actual tire diameter and axle ratio to confirm the correct tooth count for your build.

This gear is compatible with Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions. The driven gear works with both cable-driven and VSS-equipped speedometer systems--just swap it into your existing housing.

What's Included

• 21-tooth red speedometer driven gear (precision molded nylon)

Key Features

• Secures driven speedometer gear for proper placement and operation in Ford T5 transmissions
• Direct replacement for original clips that have become brittle from heat exposure
• Essential component for automatic-to-manual conversions where no clip exists
• Compatible with all Ford T5 transmissions

Description

Clip-style speedometer gears require a retaining clip to lock the driven gear securely in the transmission housing, and this replacement clip delivers the secure fit your Ford T5 needs. Without a properly functioning clip, the driven speedometer gear can back out of the housing during operation, causing inaccurate speedometer readings and potential fluid loss.

Original retaining clips often become brittle after years of heat cycling in the transmission environment. If you're servicing your Ford T5, T-45, T-56, TKO/TKX, and Magnum speedometer gear or coming from an automatic transmission that didn't use a mechanical speedometer setup, a new retaining clip ensures your driven gear stays exactly where it needs to be. This is an inexpensive detail that makes the difference between a speedometer that works reliably and one that gives you trouble down the road.

This clip is the correct fitment for all Ford T5 transmissions and works with standard Ford-style driven speedometer gears. Keep one on hand whenever you're doing speedo gear service work.

What's Included

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

Key Features

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

• Tin-plated brass terminals for corrosion resistance and reliable signal transmission
• Compatible with Ford VSS connector style used in 1987-1995 Mustangs
• Works with Ford and GM TREMEC Magnum two-wire analog OSS output
• Fits Ford TKO/TKO 500-600, TKX, and T45/3650 transmissions
• Two-wire design matches OE Ford VSS signal format

Description

When you install a TREMEC transmission in your build, you need a clean way to send speed data to your electronic speedometer or ECU. This harness provides the critical link between your transmission's output speed sensor (OSS) and your vehicle's existing Ford-style VSS wiring. It's designed specifically for the two-wire analog speed sensor output found on Ford and GM TREMEC Magnum transmissions, as well as Ford TKX, TKO, and T45/3650 units.

The terminals are constructed from tin-plated brass, which resists corrosion and maintains solid electrical contact even in harsh underhood environments. This matters because intermittent speed signals cause erratic speedometer readings and can throw off ECU calculations that rely on vehicle speed data. The Ford VSS connector style was used across a wide range of 1987-1995 Ford vehicles, making this harness the right choice when you're tying into an existing Ford wiring harness or EFI system from that era.

This harness is the simple, direct solution for builders running electronic speedometers with TREMEC 5- and 6-speed transmissions. Whether you're completing a resto-mod Mustang with modern gauges or wiring a GM-pattern Magnum into a classic muscle car, this connector eliminates guesswork and custom splicing.

• 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

• Epoxy-sealed Bluetooth controller module
• Pre-wired harness with VSS connector
• Reverse lockout solenoid wiring and connector

• 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

• 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

Converting to a TREMEC TKX, TKO, or Magnum often means your factory slip yoke is no longer up to the task. The increased torque from a modern 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission demands a properly matched slip yoke that can handle the load without becoming a weak link in your driveline. This 31-spline slip yoke solves that problem with the proven 1330 series dimensions and D550 ductile iron construction.

The forged steel construction provides the tensile strength needed for high-torque applications while maintaining the precise tolerances required for smooth, vibration-free operation. The 1330 series u-joint dimensions - 3-5/8" overall width with 1-1/16" bearing caps - deliver more driveline angle capability than the smaller 1310 series while keeping overall packaging compact. Outside snap rings secure the u-joint caps, making future service straightforward without specialized tools.

The 31-spline internal configuration directly matches the output shaft splines on TREMEC TKX, TKO, and Magnum transmissions, as well as some T56 variants, Ford C6 automatics, and FMX transmissions. Built by Neapco to OEM standards, this slip yoke bridges the gap between your transmission upgrade and your existing driveshaft, accepting standard 1330-series u-joints for flexibility in choosing greaseable or sealed units based on your application.

Description

Converting to a TREMEC TKX or T56 Magnum often means driveline modifications are in order -- including upgrading to an aftermarket slip yoke that can handle the torque output of a modern 5 or 6-speed manual transmission. This Sonnax forged steel slip yoke delivers the strength and precision your high-performance drivetrain demands, engineered to never be the weak link between your transmission and driveshaft.

Sonnax slip yokes are forged -- not cast -- for greater strength, then undergo a precision-machining process that guarantees exceptional balance and minimal runout. Clean-cut splines mate smoothly with the transmission output shaft, while all dimensions are precision machined to ensure a consistent, concentric fit. The smooth outer journal provides uniform contact with the tail housing seal, preventing leaks and promoting proper fore/aft yoke action during suspension travel.

Every yoke is 100 percent leak-tested, with the seal plug O.D. ground for superior sealing performance and air-tested to 40 PSI. This attention to detail eliminates common comeback complaints like transmission leaks, NVH issues, and driveline clunking or shudder. Whether you're building a street car, street rod, drag machine, or dirt oval racer, this slip yoke delivers superior strength and durability for high horsepower and torque capacity applications.

This 31-spline slip yoke fits a variety of applications including TREMEC TKO-500, TKO-600, TKX, T56 Magnum, Ford C6, and FMX transmissions, as well as some T56 units. Always verify your transmission's output shaft spline count and style before ordering. Made in the USA.

Description

Upgrading to a TREMEC transmission puts serious torque capacity in your drivetrain, but your existing slip yoke often becomes the weak link. TREMEC TKO, TKX, and Magnum transmissions all feature a 31-spline output shaft that requires a matching slip yoke to handle the increased power these transmissions deliver. This MDL slip yoke solves that problem with cast steel construction and 1350 series U-joint capacity.

The 31-spline output shaft on TREMEC performance transmissions uses the same diameter as Ford C6 automatics—a proven design that has been handling serious torque for decades. The 1350 series U-joint provides a 1-3/16" cap diameter and 3.625" overall width, delivering significantly more strength than the smaller 1310 series joints found in many factory drivelines. When you're pushing 600 lb-ft of torque capacity through a TKO or TKX, you need driveline components that can keep up.

This slip yoke is designed for Ford applications but works with any TREMEC transmission featuring the standard 31-spline output shaft, including the TKO-500, TKO-600, TKX, and T56 Magnum. Whether you're building a street machine that sees weekend abuse or a dedicated track car, this yoke provides the strength and reliability your upgraded drivetrain demands.
