Description

Early Chevelle tunnels have always been the enemy of modern overdrive swaps - the cramped space forced builders to choose between floor surgery or settling for outdated gearboxes. This MDL-modified TREMEC TKX Road Race transmission eliminates that compromise. TREMEC designed the TKX case from the ground up specifically for aftermarket fitment, and this side shift configuration drops directly into your 1964-1967 Chevelle without tunnel modifications.

The "Road Race" designation reflects serious mechanical upgrades over previous five-speeds. The TKX borrows synchronizer technology from the Magnum 6-speed, using multi-cone synchronizers with hybrid sintered bronze/carbon rings that deliver smooth, positive engagement at shift speeds up to 7,500 RPM. The older brass-ring synchronizers in TKO transmissions felt notchy and balky above 6,000 RPM - the TKX solves that with carbon-fiber composite friction material designed for high-heat, high-speed operation. All gears and shafts are manufactured from ASTM 4615-grade steel with wide gear profiles for increased surface contact and longer service life.

The close-ratio gearset delivers the aggressive step pattern that autocross and road course drivers demand. With 2.87 first gear, you launch hard out of corners without lugging, while the 0.81 overdrive keeps highway cruising RPM civilized. The ribbed three-piece aluminum housing provides outstanding structural stiffness, and gaskets at all flanges eliminate the fluid leaks common on older transmission designs. Caged needle bearings in all gear positions reduce friction and improve durability under sustained high-RPM use.

The MDL side shift modification positions the shifter with no offset, placing the lever exactly where your hand expects it for fast, confident gear changes. This transmission accepts both mechanical and electronic speedometer signals, so your gauges work regardless of your dash configuration. Compatible with all GM small-block and big-block engines using a Muncie-pattern bellhousing.

Description

Classic GM A-body builders face a common dilemma: the factory TKX shifter location doesn't land where the original four-speed did. This MDL-modified TREMEC TKX solves that problem by permanently integrating a custom close-ratio shifter assembly directly into the transmission case, repositioning the shifter stub to the front socket location. The result is a five-speed that shifts where your hand expects it - no awkward reach, no console interference, no compromise.

This isn't a bolt-on adapter or aftermarket shifter slapped onto a stock unit. MDL's technicians carefully machine the case, update internal components, and integrate new pieces to create a transmission that functions as an engineered whole. The close-ratio gear spread (2.87 first through 0.68 overdrive) keeps the engine in its powerband through the gears, while the deep overdrive drops highway RPMs for comfortable cruising. The TKX's end-loading design and streamlined three-piece aluminum housing provide the tunnel clearance that makes installation possible in tight GM A-bodies without cutting your floor.

Inside, hybrid carbon/bronze triple-cone synchronizers with non-leading tooth profiles deliver smooth, precise shifts at engine speeds up to 7,500 RPM. The internal 3-rail shift system with steel shift forks handles aggressive driving session after session. Tapered roller bearings on the input, output, and countershafts minimize noise while caged needle bearings support the mainshaft for long-term durability. All gears and shafts are manufactured from ASTM 4615 special-grade steel for maximum torque-carrying capacity.

Built for BOP (Buick-Olds-Pontiac) applications using the GM Muncie 3/4-speed bellhousing bolt pattern, this transmission includes a built-in reverse light switch on the left side and a cruise control safety switch location on the right. OSS two-wire analog speedometer sensor is built in, plus a Ford-style 7-tooth mechanical speedometer drive that can be adapted to GM. Fluid capacity is 2.7 quarts - use Dexron III ATF, TREMEC HP-MTF, GM Synchromesh, or Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF. Every modified TKX is hand-prepared at MDL's facility and verified before shipping. Requires separate purchase of offset stub for final shifter positioning.

Bellhousing Cover Plate | 1964-1981 Chevy SBC/BBC | 11-Inch 168-Tooth

Key Features

• Designed specifically for 168-tooth flywheels with 11-inch clutch bellhousing applications
• Protects ring gear and clutch area from dirt, debris, and road contamination
• Fits 1964-1981 Chevy small block and big block engines with standard Chevy bellhousing bolt pattern
• No transmission removal required for installation
• Lightweight stamped steel construction at just 17 ounces
• Direct replacement for worn or missing factory inspection covers

Description

A missing or damaged bellhousing cover leaves your flywheel and clutch exposed to constant contamination. Without proper protection, dirt, road grit, and debris work their way into the ring gear and clutch area over time, accelerating wear on friction surfaces and causing premature clutch failure. This cover plate eliminates that problem by sealing off the flywheel area while still allowing access for inspection when needed.

This cover is sized specifically for 11-inch bellhousings used with 168-tooth flywheels - the larger of the two GM flywheel sizes. The 168-tooth flywheel measures 14 inches in diameter and was commonly used in heavy-duty applications including trucks, police vehicles, and high-performance cars. These setups were typically paired with 11-inch clutches and require the larger bellhousing to clear the ring gear - and a correspondingly sized inspection cover.

Compatible with both small block and big block Chevy engines from 1964-1981 that use the standard 11-inch bellhousing configuration. Installation is straightforward and does not require transmission removal - simply bolt the cover in place using the included hardware. While the driveline will technically function without a cover installed, leaving the flywheel exposed to the elements is not recommended for any vehicle that sees regular use.

What's Included

• Stamped steel bellhousing cover plate
• Mounting hardware

Install Hardware Kit | LS and Late Model LT1/LT4 Engine to TKX | Aluminum Bellhousing

Key Features

• Complete bolt set for LS and late model LS-based LT1/LT4 engines with aluminum bellhousing to TKX
• Includes both bellhousing-to-engine and transmission-to-bellhousing fasteners
• Eliminates parts-counter guesswork with application-specific hardware
• Designed specifically for aluminum bellhousing installations
• Note: For early LT engines, use HWkit-TKX Chevy AL instead

Description

Bolting a TREMEC TKX to an LS or late model LS-based LT1/LT4 engine with an aluminum bellhousing requires specific hardware that the factory never intended to supply. This MDL install hardware kit provides the correct fasteners for both the bellhousing-to-engine block and transmission-to-bellhousing connections, eliminating trips to the hardware store and the headache of sourcing individual bolts with the right thread pitch and length.

The TKX uses a GM-style bolt pattern that shares commonality with classic small-block Chevys, but aluminum bellhousings demand specific bolt lengths to properly engage the softer material without bottoming out or stripping threads. This kit is matched to the dimensional requirements of LS-series (Gen III/IV) and late model LS-based LT1/LT4 (Gen V) engines when paired with aftermarket aluminum bellhousings.

Important: This hardware kit is designed specifically for late model LS-based LT1/LT4 engines. If you're running an early LT engine (1992-1997 LT1/LT4), you'll need the HWkit-TKX Chevy AL kit instead. The bolt patterns are similar but the hardware specifications differ between generations.

Whether you're building a resto-mod with an LS swap or adding a TKX to a late-model Corvette or Camaro powerplant, this kit ensures you have the right fasteners from the start. One less variable to troubleshoot during your transmission installation.

What's Included

• Bellhousing-to-engine block bolts for LS/late model LT1/LT4

Description

Steel bellhousings require different hardware than their aluminum counterparts. The thicker steel construction of Lakewood and QuickTime scatter shields demands specific bolt lengths that you won't find at the local hardware store -- and using the wrong fasteners means either insufficient thread engagement or bolts that bottom out before clamping. This hardware kit solves that problem with precision-selected Grade 8 bolts sized specifically for steel bellhousing applications.

The kit includes everything needed to secure your TREMEC TKX transmission to a GM-pattern steel bellhousing on small block or big block Chevy applications. Grade 8 fasteners deliver the strength required for high-torque drivetrains, while the included hardened washers prevent fastener galling and distribute clamping loads evenly across the mounting flange. Torque all transmission-to-bellhousing bolts to 35 ft-lbs for proper retention.

The GM TKX uses the same Muncie/Richmond 4-speed bolt pattern that's been standard on GM manual transmissions for decades, making bellhousing selection straightforward. This kit pairs with steel bellhousings designed for that pattern -- the thicker steel construction provides added safety in high-horsepower applications where an SFI-rated scatter shield is required or preferred.

What's Included

Description

The flywheel-to-crankshaft connection is one of the most critical fastener applications in your drivetrain. LS engines — with their cross-plane crankshaft design — generate significant vibrations and torque pulses that place heavy demands on flywheel hardware. Using the correct fasteners with proper torque specs prevents bolts from backing out, which can destroy the clutch assembly, rod bearings, and transmission bearings.

This hex head flywheel bolt kit is built to M11 x 1.5 specification for direct compatibility with GM Gen III and Gen IV LS crankshafts. The hex head design provides reliable wrench engagement, reducing the risk of rounded fasteners during high-torque installation. These bolts deliver the clamping force your LS engine demands whether you're completing an LS swap, a rebuild, or replacing worn factory hardware.

Compatible with LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, and L92 series engines. Always use new flywheel bolts when installing a flywheel — reusing stretched or fatigued hardware on this critical connection invites failure. Follow GM's recommended three-stage torque sequence: first pass at 15 ft-lbs, second pass at 37 ft-lbs, and final torque at 74 ft-lbs in a star pattern for even clamping.

What's Included

• 6 hex head flywheel bolts (M11 x 1.5 thread pitch)

Description

The LS9's supercharged 6.2L V8 didn't just get more horsepower than its LS siblings--it got a completely different flywheel bolt pattern. While standard LS engines use a 6-bolt crankshaft flange and newer LSA/LT variants moved to 8 bolts, the LS9 stands alone with its 9-bolt configuration. This kit delivers all nine bolts you need to properly secure your flywheel to that unique crankshaft flange.

Each bolt features M11-1.5 threading with 23.5mm length, matching GM's factory specifications exactly. Proper installation requires a three-pass torque sequence: first tighten all bolts to 15 lb-ft, then 37 lb-ft, and finally 74 lb-ft in a crisscross pattern. This graduated approach ensures even clamping force distribution across the flywheel face, preventing the distortion and bolt loosening that plague improperly torqued assemblies.

Description

Factory flywheel bolts are a weak link in high-performance LS builds. OEM hardware simply is not engineered to handle the stress of aggressive clutch dumps, high-RPM shifts, or sustained track use. ARP's Pro Series Flywheel Bolt Kit delivers the strength upgrade serious LS builders demand, replacing marginal factory fasteners with aerospace-grade hardware rated at 200,000 psi tensile strength.

Each bolt is forged from 8740 chromoly steel - a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy prized for its exceptional balance of tensile strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. ARP heat-treats the material before thread rolling and machining, a critical sequence that maximizes thread integrity and dimensional accuracy. The exclusive flat 12-point head design accepts a standard 1/2-inch socket and provides superior engagement compared to hex heads, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque loads.

The larger-than-stock shank diameter does more than just add strength - it improves flywheel register by filling more of the mounting hole, reducing the chance of flywheel movement under load. The 0.880-inch under-head length is engineered specifically for LS Series crankshafts, ensuring proper thread engagement without bottoming out. Black oxide finish provides corrosion protection while maintaining the professional appearance serious builders expect.

Compatible with LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, and L92 series engines. Complete 6-bolt set includes everything needed to secure your flywheel with confidence.

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.

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.

Description

Street-legal performance cars are making more power than ever, and if you're rowing your own gears past the 500 HP mark, you need a clutch that can handle the abuse without sacrificing daily driveability. The McLeod RXT Twin Disc Clutch Kit solves the classic high-horsepower dilemma - massive holding power without the harsh engagement and heavy pedal effort that make twin-disc setups miserable in traffic.

Rated at 1,000 HP, the RXT uses two ceramic-faced 9.687" friction discs mounted to a solid hub, distributing clamping loads across four friction surfaces for superior heat dissipation and consistent engagement under hard launches. The ceramic facings provide slightly aggressive engagement - enough bite to transfer serious torque without the on/off grabbiness that plagues race-only clutches. The diaphragm-style pressure plate delivers lighter-than-stock pedal effort, making this a genuinely streetable setup for stop-and-go driving.

This economical kit uses McLeod's patent-pending large diameter adapter ring system, allowing you to retain your existing large-diameter flywheel rather than purchasing a dedicated unit. The large red adapter ring fits common big-flywheel applications including Chevy 168T, Ford 164T/176T/180T/184T, Chrysler 143T/172T, and Buick/Olds/Pontiac 160T/166T configurations. The 26-spline, 1-1/8" input shaft configuration matches T56, TKX, and other performance transmissions.

Compatible with 1955-85 Chevy V8 engines equipped with large diameter flywheels.

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

When you're pushing serious power through an LSX or LT4 engine, clutch failure isn't an option. 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 tacked on as an afterthought. This is race-derived technology built for the street, drawing on Tilton's nearly 50 years of championship-winning experience in F1, NASCAR, IMSA, IndyCar, and Formula Drift.

The engineering details set the ST-246 apart. The precision-machined aluminum clutch cover shares technology with Tilton's OT-Series racing clutches, delivering higher strength, better stiffness, and superior dynamic balance compared to stamped steel competitors. The high-mass pressure plate and floater plate are machined from the same proprietary materials used in Tilton's racing clutches, providing exceptional heat capacity and warp resistance. That floater plate runs twice the thickness of typical twin-disc setups - this eliminates gear chatter and provides dramatically better heat dissipation under hard use.

This specific kit features solid-hub cerametallic discs rated for 1,250 lb-ft of torque, delivering the positive, precise engagement characteristics needed for street/strip applications. The billet chromoly steel flywheel includes an integrated 168-tooth ring gear and precision register system that provides optimal clutch-to-flywheel balance - no loose-fitting bolts or dowels like stamped steel units. Heavy-duty straps connect the plates to the cover, minimizing noise while ensuring fast, clean releases between shifts.

Designed for Chevy LSA, LSX, LT1, and LT4 engines with 8-bolt crank flange patterns. Compatible with TREMEC T56, TKO, TKX, and Magnum transmissions via the 26-spline x 1-1/8" input shaft. This assembly does not include a pilot bearing or throwout bearing - it can be used with most OEM release bearings, or pair it with a Tilton 6000-Series hydraulic release bearing for optimal performance.

Kit Includes

• Billet chromoly steel flywheel with integrated 168-tooth ring gear (internally balanced)
• Precision-machined aluminum clutch cover
• High-mass pressure plate (proprietary racing materials)
• Heavy-duty floater plate (2x thickness vs. competitors)
• Two cerametallic clutch discs with solid-hub centers (26-spline x 1-1/8")
• Heavy-duty connecting straps
• Clutch mounting bolts
• Flywheel mounting bolts
• Spline grease
• Alignment tool
• Lifetime technical support from MDL

Note: Pilot bearing and throwout bearing not included.

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.

Description

Converting your '62-'65 Chevy II or Nova from automatic to manual transmission starts with proper pedal geometry. This clutch/brake pedal set delivers OEM replacement fitment that works with your existing stock pedal support - whether it came with an automatic or manual transmission. No fabrication, no welding, no cutting into your firewall. The catch: your car must have the original bolt-style pedal hanger. If your Nova uses the pin-style hanger with a retaining clip, this set will not fit.

The engineering here prioritizes durability and precision. Each pedal is laser-cut from quality steel for consistent, tight tolerances, then run through CNC bending for accurate geometry that matches factory specs. The black powder coat finish protects against corrosion while delivering a clean, factory-fresh appearance that looks right at home in a restored interior.

Master cylinder mounting is configured for forward position on the firewall, giving you proper geometry for hydraulic clutch systems. The swing-mounted pedal design maintains the original feel and travel that GM engineers intended. Whether you're installing a TREMEC TKX, TKO, or rebuilding around a vintage 4-speed, this pedal set provides the foundation for a proper clutch conversion.

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

Factory mechanical clutch linkage in '62-'67 Chevy II and Nova models suffers from worn bushings, binding rods, and heavy pedal effort that only gets worse with age. The LF Series Master Cylinder Kit eliminates these problems by retrofitting modern hydraulics directly onto your factory pedal assembly--no cutting, welding, or fabrication required.

The heart of this system is a precision 0.750" bore master cylinder with a 1.2" stroke that generates the fluid volume needed to actuate most aftermarket internal and external slave cylinders. The long-stroke, small-bore design is key: it moves more fluid per stroke while requiring less pedal force, translating to a smooth, light pedal feel that transforms the driving experience. A billet aluminum firewall bracket positions the master cylinder at the correct angle to achieve proper pedal geometry and distributes mounting loads across a wider area rather than concentrating stress at a single point.

The mechanical linkage design preserves the factory clutch rod hole location where possible, simplifying installation and maintaining a clean firewall appearance. The black plastic remote reservoir mounts separately on the firewall, keeping brake fluid away from engine compartment heat while providing easy access for fluid level checks and bleeding. This kit relies on factory components being in good working order--modifications or damage to the firewall, pedal, or pedal hanger will affect master cylinder performance.

Description

Converting your '62-'67 Chevy II or Nova to hydraulic clutch operation doesn't have to mean fighting a heavy pedal or stressing your firewall. Traditional hydraulic retrofits use 3/4" or 7/8" bore by 1" stroke master cylinders mounted directly to the pedal, resulting in excessive firewall loading, improper pedal pressure, and poor pedal feel. The MDL LF Series Master Cylinder Kit solves these problems with an innovative mechanical linkage approach that delivers the smooth, light pedal effort you expect from a modern hydraulic system.

The key is the revolutionary pedal linkage design. Instead of bolting the master cylinder directly to the pedal and dumping all that force into the firewall, the LF Series uses a billet firewall bracket with integrated mechanical linkage that distributes the load properly and matches pedal travel to the master cylinder's long stroke. The result is dramatically reduced firewall stress and a clutch pedal that feels natural - not like you're leg-pressing a loaded barbell. The precision 0.750" bore delivers the exact fluid volume needed to operate most aftermarket external or internal slave cylinders while maintaining excellent pedal modulation and a light pedal feel.

Installation uses your stock clutch pedal and the original rod hole, so there's no pedal modification required. The silver anodized billet aluminum remote reservoir mounts away from the master cylinder for a clean firewall appearance and easy fluid-level checks. Every kit includes MDL's exclusive One-Man-Bleeder Kit, comprehensive installation instructions, and lifetime tech support. Note: This kit relies on factory components being in good working order - any modifications or damage to the firewall, pedal, or pedal hanger will affect master cylinder performance. Made in the USA.

Description

Converting to hydraulic clutch actuation in your GM TKO or TKX swap? This complete Tilton 6000 Series hydraulic release bearing kit eliminates the external slave cylinder entirely, solving interference issues while delivering race-proven reliability for high-performance street applications. The slip-on design mounts directly over the stock TREMEC bearing retainer - no replacement retainer required, no case modifications needed.

Tilton's engineering centers on precision and reliability. The billet aluminum body and piston are precision-machined in-house at Tilton, then treated with a durable, low-friction coating for long-wearing performance. The stainless steel threaded sleeve provides nearly 1.25 in. of height adjustability, allowing the bearing to be set anywhere from 1.77 in. to 3.00 in. to accommodate virtually any clutch setup. The 0.7 in. of piston travel provides complete clutch release, and the high-temperature mono-seal design with quad tensioner ensures positive sealing under demanding conditions.

The constant-contact design self-adjusts for clutch wear, maintaining the same pedal feel throughout the clutch's life without the need for periodic adjustment. Unlike traditional throwout bearings that require a gap and return springs, this sealed bearing stays in light contact with the pressure plate fingers at all times. The flat-face bearing features a 1.71 in. to 3.03 in. contact diameter that works with most 8.5 in. to 11 in. bent-finger and lever-type clutches. Compatibility extends to most bellhousings - while external slaves require application-specific bells, this internal design opens up options including original 4-speed bells and big-block bells.

This is a complete kit with everything needed for installation. Pair with an MDL LF Series master cylinder and appropriate steel-braided supply line (24 in. recommended for most applications) for a fully integrated hydraulic clutch system.

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.

Worn shift balls with faded graphics look cheap and undermine an otherwise clean build. This MDL 5-Speed Black Shift Ball solves that problem with subsurface graphics that are embedded below the polished surface - they physically cannot wear off, fade, or chip regardless of how many miles you put on the car or how aggressively you shift.

The ball is constructed from a specially formulated high-impact polymer resin developed specifically for automotive applications. Unlike generic plastics that crack and degrade with age and temperature cycling, this formulation resists stress cracking even after years of exposure to heat, cold, and UV light. At 4 ounces, the weight is calibrated to provide positive shift engagement without the excessive mass that can stress synchronizers or create unwanted momentum during quick shifts.

Inside, a brass or aluminum master insert provides the threaded mounting point and exceeds automotive industry specifications - tested to withstand 200 ft. lbs. of static pull force and 20 ft. lbs. of twist torque. The 3/8"-16 internal threading fits most domestic shifter applications, and MDL stocks thread adapters for virtually any shifter setup if your lever uses a different thread pitch. Each ball is precision machined and polished to a high-gloss finish that looks as good as it feels.

Made in the USA by a manufacturer that has been producing precision shift components since 1952, this shift ball delivers the quality and attention to detail that serious builds demand.

Description

The shift knob is your primary connection point to the drivetrain during every gear change. This white 5-speed shift ball delivers the durability and feel you need with high-impact polymer resin specifically formulated for automotive applications. Unlike generic plastics that develop stress cracks over time from temperature cycling and repeated use, this material is engineered to handle real-world performance conditions.

The 1-7/8" diameter provides excellent grip surface and comfortable palm contact. The 5-speed shift pattern is applied subsurface, meaning the graphics are embedded within the material rather than printed on top -- they physically cannot wear off from years of shifting. The entire ball is precision machined and polished to a high-gloss finish that resists scratching and cleans easily.

At the core is a brass master insert machined to 16mm x 1.50 threading. This insert is tested to exceed automotive industry specifications: 200 ft-lbs of static pull and 20 ft-lbs of twist torque. Because the knob uses the common 16mm x 1.50 master insert, it accepts MDL's complete line of thread reducing inserts -- so you can adapt it to fit 3/8"-16, 3/8"-24, 5/16"-18, 12mm x 1.75, 10mm x 1.50, and other common shift lever thread sizes. If your shifter doesn't use 16mm x 1.50 threading, just add the appropriate reducer to make it work.

Weighing 4 ounces, this knob provides enough mass for positive shifting feedback without the excessive weight that can stress shift mechanisms or cause gear selection issues. Made in the USA with automotive-grade materials and quality craftsmanship.

This 5-speed shift ball eliminates that risk with an integrated side-mounted push button lockout that requires deliberate activation before reverse can be selected. The button includes wiring for connection to various shifter configurations that utilize electronic or mechanical reverse lockout functionality.

The ball itself is built from specially formulated high-impact polymer resin designed specifically for the automotive industry. Unlike cheap plastic knobs that crack under stress or go chalky from heat cycles, this material resists stress cracking with age while handling the torque and temperature swings of hard driving. The 1-7/8" diameter provides solid palm contact for confident shifting, and the polished white finish cleans up easily.

Mounting uses a 16mm x 1.50 brass master insert with an included brass jam nut. This thread size is common on 1982-2002 Camaro and Firebird shifters, Pontiac Fiero applications, and various aftermarket shifters. For other thread sizes, pair this shift ball with MDL thread reducers to adapt down to your specific shifter requirements.

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.

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.

Kit Includes

• Billet speedometer cable adapter housing

• Direct fit for Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions
• Precision-molded construction for smooth, reliable operation

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
• 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

• 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

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.

What's Included

• Electronic speedometer harness with tin-plated brass terminals
• Ford VSS-style two-wire connector

Key Features

• Factory-style 2-wire connector plugs directly into T56 reverse lockout solenoid
• Pre-wired pigtail eliminates custom splicing and unreliable field connections
• Compatible with TREMEC T56 6-speed transmissions
• Essential for wiring to aftermarket reverse lockout control modules, brake switches, or manual toggles

Description

The TREMEC T56 6-speed uses a reverse lockout solenoid to prevent accidental shifts into reverse while attempting to engage 5th gear--a real concern because reverse and 5th are positioned dangerously close in the shift gate. When swapping a T56 into a classic vehicle originally equipped with a T5, T45, or older 4/5-speed transmission, the factory electronics lack support for this solenoid, leaving builders without a clean way to wire the lockout system.

This pre-wired solenoid harness provides the electrical connection your reverse lockout needs. The factory-style connector snaps directly onto the solenoid mounted on the transmission case, eliminating the guesswork and potential wiring errors that come with spliced connections. The solenoid operates simply: when energized at low vehicle speeds, the lockout retracts to allow reverse engagement; de-energized at higher speeds, it mechanically blocks the shift gate from entering reverse.

Use this harness to connect the solenoid to an aftermarket reverse lockout control module (speed-based), a brake pedal switch circuit, or a manual dashboard toggle. The harness gives you the clean starting point you need for whatever activation method you choose--just run your control wiring to this pigtail and plug into the transmission.

Compatible with all TREMEC T56 6-speed transmissions. A simple, inexpensive component that prevents frustrating wiring headaches during your swap or build.

Description

Swapping a modern TREMEC 5-speed into your classic Chevy II Nova creates one critical challenge: supporting 600 lb-ft of torque capacity while maintaining proper driveline geometry. The factory crossmember was never designed for this kind of power - it flexes, binds, and creates vibration problems that turn a great drivetrain into a frustrating build.

This Bowler Performance crossmember solves that problem with precision-cut cold-rolled steel plate and heavy-gauge tubing construction that delivers substantially more strength than the stock unit. The fully MIG-welded assembly creates a rigid mounting point that won't flex under load, while the engineered geometry maintains correct transmission and driveshaft angles for vibration-free operation and extended U-joint life.

The slim profile design provides clearance for aftermarket exhaust systems - a common fitment headache with bulkier crossmembers. Since TKX and TKO transmissions share identical mounting points and overall length, this crossmember works with any TKO-500, TKO-600, or TKX, giving you flexibility for future upgrades without replacing chassis components.

Fits 1962-1967 Chevy II Nova and also works with 1967-1969 Camaro big block to TKO/TKX applications. Compatible with small block Chevy and LS engines when mounted in the stock position. Backed by over 60 years of Hurst quality conversions and a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
