Description

Transform your 1967 Chevelle from automatic to modern 5-speed manual with MDL's complete TREMEC TKX conversion package. Built for both small block and big block Chevrolet applications, this fully customizable kit solves the age-old problem of cramped transmission swaps that require extensive floor pan surgery. TREMEC specifically engineered the TKX case to fit within the narrow confines of '67-'72 Chevelle tunnels, making it a true bolt-in upgrade that retains the stock shifter position for an authentic muscle car feel.

The TKX's revolutionary end-loaded case design creates a significantly slimmer profile than previous 5-speeds like the TKO, while the ribbed three-piece aluminum housing - main case, intermediate plate, and extension housing - delivers outstanding structural stiffness and improved NVH characteristics. Inside, oversized gear widths and caged needle bearings in all gear positions maximize durability under high-load shifts. The multi-cone synchronizer package with hybrid sintered bronze and carbon rings eliminates the notchy shifter feel common in older transmissions, delivering glass-smooth engagement even at elevated RPM.

The TKX bolts directly to GM 3-speed and 4-speed Muncie/Richmond bellhousing patterns, letting you choose from aluminum or steel bellhousing options depending on your performance needs. The 31-spline output shaft uses Ford C6-style slip yokes for robust driveline strength, and built-in provisions for both mechanical speedometer drive and electronic speedometer sensors cover any gauge configuration. Fluid capacity is 2.7 quarts of TREMEC HP-MTF or Dexron III/VI ATF.

MDL's guided package builder walks you through every component selection - from flywheel material and clutch capacity to hydraulic master cylinder finish and shift knob style. Whether you're building a weekend cruiser or a 600 lb-ft street bruiser, this package delivers everything needed for a complete, professional-grade conversion with lifetime technical support from MDL.
