Description

Ditch the slush box and put control back in your hands. This complete conversion package replaces the original automatic transmission in your 1962-1965 Ford Fairlane or Mercury Comet with TREMEC's proven T5 5-speed manual. The result is crisp, driver-engaged shifting, significantly lower highway RPM through a deep 0.63:1 overdrive, and a direct mechanical connection between your right foot and the rear tires that no torque converter can replicate.

The heart of this package is the TREMEC Super Duty T5 — the smallest and lightest transmission in the TREMEC lineup at just 75 lbs dry. Don't let the compact dimensions fool you: this gearbox handles 330 ft-lb of torque and is proven reliable behind small-block Ford power up to 450 hp in street applications. Gear ratios of 2.95 / 1.94 / 1.34 / 1.00 / 0.63 provide strong acceleration off the line with close spacing through the gears, then drop RPM substantially in overdrive for quieter, cooler highway cruising and improved fuel economy.

MDL has engineered multiple shift location solutions specifically for the 1962-1965 Fairlane platform, ensuring proper lever placement regardless of your console or interior configuration. Every component in this package — from the application-specific bellhousing to the hydraulic clutch system, flywheel options, and precision shifters — is selected for correct fitment, durability, and performance rather than lowest cost. The guided package builder walks you through each selection, and MDL's tech team is available if you need help choosing the right configuration for your build goals and budget.

Compatible with Ford small-block 6-bolt engines (221, 260, 289, and later 302) in 1962-1965 Fairlane and Comet applications. T5 fluid requirement: 2.75 quarts of ATF (Dexron III).
