Description

Ditch the sluggish Cruise-O-Matic and transform your '66-'67 Fairlane or Comet into a true driver's car with MDL's complete TREMEC TKX five-speed conversion package. The TKX delivers 600 lb-ft of torque capacity across all configurations, handling everything from a warmed-over 390 to a built 427 side-oiler with room to spare. This package addresses every component needed for a full automatic-to-manual swap in FE-powered mid-size Fords, from the transmission itself through pedal assembly, hydraulics, shifter, and driveline.

The TKX's compact end-loaded design was engineered specifically for tight transmission tunnels in classic muscle cars. Enhanced gear sizes and a revised carbon-fiber synchronizer package allow safe shifting at 7,500 RPM, eliminating the notchy feel of older transmissions. All gears and shafts are machined from ASTM 4615 special-grade steel, with wide gear widths for increased torque capacity and longevity. The ribbed three-piece aluminum housing provides outstanding structural stiffness, with gaskets at all flanges to eliminate leaks and simplify installation.

MDL's guided package selection walks you through every component choice. Select your preferred gear ratio configuration, bellhousing (standard aluminum or SFI-certified), flywheel matched to your specific FE application, clutch system, hydraulic master cylinder finish, shifter style and position, and driveline components. Every part is selected specifically for 1966-1967 Fairlane and Comet applications with FE engines. The TKX requires 2.7 quarts of transmission fluid and includes built-in reverse light and cruise control switches.
