Overview

If you are making over 400 horsepower and need to upgrade from a tired four-speed, the TREMEC TKX delivers everything your Ford build demands. Unlike repurposed OE transmissions, the TKX was engineered from the ground up specifically for the aftermarket - designed to handle serious power while fitting into classic Mustangs and other vintage Fords without the floor surgery typically required by larger transmissions.

The end-loaded case design is the key to the TKX's compact footprint. TREMEC eliminated the traditional side-loading architecture, resulting in a slimmer, more streamlined case that clears tight transmission tunnels. The three-piece ribbed aluminum housing (main case, intermediate plate, and rear extension) delivers outstanding structural stiffness while reducing overall weight to just 99 lbs dry. Fewer case seams mean fewer potential leak points, and gaskets at all flanges simplify installation.

Inside, the TKX punches well above its weight class. Wide gear widths increase gear life and torque capacity, while tapered roller bearings on the input, output, and countershafts reduce noise and improve durability. Caged needle bearings on the mainshaft optimize performance at all gear positions. The internal three-rail shift system provides robust, precise gear engagement, and the rear mainshaft support bushing has been relocated closer to the gearbox for improved support. Hybrid triple-cone synchronizers made from sintered bronze and carbon deliver smooth, notch-free shifts even at 7,500 RPM.

This close-ratio configuration (2.87 first gear with 0.68 overdrive) keeps your engine in its powerband during spirited driving while dropping highway RPM for improved fuel economy and reduced wear. Short input shaft kits are available for Ford 3-speed and 4-speed bellhousing applications. Made from 100% brand-new OEM-quality components.

Description

Upgrading your classic Ford to a modern five-speed doesn't have to mean scrapping a perfectly good bellhousing. This spacer plate bridges the bolt pattern gap between your existing Ford wide pattern bellhousing (the Toploader bolt pattern found on post-1965 Ford car bellhousings) and the Ford 3550, TKO, or TKX transmission, eliminating the need for an expensive bellhousing swap or machine shop work.

CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum, this spacer plate registers precisely to your bellhousing's centering bore, maintaining the critical transmission-to-bellhousing alignment required for proper clutch operation and input shaft bearing life. The design holds alignment to within 0.001" -- the same precision tolerance you'd expect from a purpose-built bellhousing. Longer mounting bolts pass through the transmission case, through the spacer plate, and thread into your existing bellhousing bolt holes. No cutting, no drilling, no modifications to your OEM or aftermarket bellhousing.

This spacer is engineered specifically for Ford wide pattern "car" bellhousings paired with Ford-pattern 3550, TKO500, TKO600, and TKX five-speeds. It supports SBF and BBF applications including the 289, 302, 351, 429, and 460. Note: This plate is designed for car-depth bellhousings only. Deeper truck bellhousings require a different input shaft solution -- if you're unsure which bellhousing you have, measure from the engine mounting face to the flat surface where the transmission mates. If you have a narrow Ford transmission pattern bellhousing, see our MD-401-2111 instead. Proudly made in the USA.

What's Included

• 6061 billet aluminum spacer plate with machined logo and part number
• Mounting hardware
• Installation instructions

Key Features

• Billet steel construction delivers superior strength and crack resistance over cast iron at high RPM

Description

Factory cast iron flywheels served their purpose in stock applications, but they become a liability in performance builds. Cast iron is prone to stress cracking under high RPM and increased clutch clamping loads, and at elevated engine speeds, a failing iron flywheel can be catastrophic. This billet steel flywheel solves those problems while retaining the rotational mass needed for confident launches in torque-heavy Ford FE applications.

Billet construction starts with solid steel bar stock that is completely machined to final dimensions. This process eliminates the internal stresses and porosity inherent in castings, resulting in a flywheel that resists cracking and handles higher clamping forces from performance clutches. The material is significantly stronger than gray iron while maintaining the thermal stability needed for repeated heat cycles from aggressive driving.

At 30 pounds, this flywheel strikes the right balance for Ford FE street/strip builds. It is light enough to improve throttle response over a factory cast piece, yet heavy enough to store the rotational energy needed for smooth engagement and strong launches in heavier vehicles. The precision-machined friction surface works effectively with modern organic and ceramic clutch materials.

Designed as a direct bolt-in replacement for internally balanced (zero balance) Ford FE engines including the 390, 427, and 428. The 184-tooth ring gear ensures proper starter engagement, and the 11-inch clutch bolt pattern accepts standard pressure plates. Made in the USA with precision manufacturing standards.

What's Included

• Billet steel flywheel with 184-tooth ring gear
• Precision-machined friction surface
• Zero balance for internally balanced FE engines
• Lifetime technical support from MDL

Key Features

• Zero-balance design for internally balanced Ford 390 and 427 FE engines - no counterweights on flywheel required
• 184-tooth hardened ring gear with 15.5-inch diameter for reliable starter engagement
• Cast iron construction delivers OEM-style mass and durability for street and moderate performance use
• 11-1/2 inch clutch bolt pattern accepts standard FE pressure plates
• Six-bolt crankshaft attachment pattern
• NOT compatible with 428ci FE motors (428 requires externally balanced flywheel)

Description

Finding a quality replacement flywheel for your FE-powered Ford shouldn't mean hunting through junkyards or settling for questionable cores. This cast iron flywheel delivers the OEM-spec foundation your 390 or 427 FE drivetrain needs, with the correct zero-balance design that matches how Ford originally engineered these engines.

Ford's 332, 352, 360, 390, 406, and 427 FE engines are all internally balanced - the crankshaft counterweights handle all rotational balance, so the flywheel itself carries no offset weight. This zero-balance flywheel bolts directly to those engines without any machine work or balancing. The cast iron construction provides the rotational mass these big-blocks were designed around, offering smooth engagement and proven durability for street driving and weekend cruising.

The 184-tooth hardened ring gear measures 15.5 inches in diameter, matching the factory specification for proper starter clearance and reliable engagement in any weather. The 11-1/2 inch clutch surface accepts standard Ford FE pressure plates, making this a direct bolt-in replacement for stock or mildly modified applications.

Critical fitment note: This flywheel is designed exclusively for internally balanced 390ci and 427ci FE engines. The 428ci FE is externally balanced and requires a weighted flywheel - see part number MD-LBS-428 for 428 applications. Using this zero-balance flywheel on a 428 will cause vibration issues.

Kit Includes

• Cast iron flywheel with hardened 184-tooth ring gear
• Clutch pattern chart reference guide (PDF)

Key Features

• Billet steel construction eliminates stress cracks and withstands high RPM and heavy clutch clamping loads
• 28oz external balance matches Ford 428ci FE engine requirements
• 184-tooth ring gear for correct FE starter engagement
• 30-pound optimized weight balances rotational inertia with improved throttle response

Description

Ford's 428ci FE is one of the few FE engines that requires external balance - 28oz of counterweight on the flywheel to offset the longer stroke. Cast iron flywheels handle the job adequately in stock applications, but under performance conditions they become stress-crack liabilities. When you're running aggressive clutch clamping forces and high RPM, you need billet steel.

This Lighten Billet Steel flywheel is machined from solid steel bar stock, delivering the structural integrity that cast iron simply cannot match. The 30-pound weight is deliberately optimized - heavy enough to store adequate rotational energy for smooth launches and drivability, yet light enough to sharpen throttle response compared to stock cast units. The integrated 28oz counterweight is precision-positioned and indexed via Ford's asymmetric 6-bolt crankshaft pattern, ensuring proper balance alignment every time.

The 184-tooth ring gear is correct for Ford FE engines from 1965-on and engages properly with standard FE starters. The 11" friction surface is machined for 11" and 11.5" Long style pressure plate bolt patterns - the same configurations used on factory FE clutch systems. This gives you flexibility to run either traditional Long style three-pair bolt patterns or modern diaphragm-style pressure plates designed for the Long pattern.

Direct bolt-in replacement for Ford 428ci FE engines requiring 28oz external balance. Also fits externally balanced 410ci FE applications. Single-disc clutch compatible. Proudly made in the USA with lifetime technical support from MDL.

Description

Flywheel bolts play a critical role in the safety and performance of any high-output engine. OEM hardware simply is not engineered for the repeated heat cycles, high RPM loads, and sustained torque demands of a performance build. ARP High Performance Series flywheel bolts deliver the strength and reliability that serious drivetrains require -- rated at 180,000 psi tensile strength.

The engineering difference starts at the material level. These bolts are forged from aerospace alloy and heat-treated prior to thread rolling and machining, a process that ensures maximum grain structure integrity and fatigue resistance. The exclusive flat 12-point head design provides superior tool engagement while resisting rounding under high-torque installation. Equally important, the larger-than-stock shank diameter improves flywheel register for precise crank-to-flywheel alignment -- critical for eliminating runout and vibration in performance applications.

This six-bolt kit is sized at 7/16-20 thread with a 1.000-inch under-head length, requiring a 3/4-inch 12-point socket for installation. Fitment covers Chevy 90-degree V6 and 265-454 V8 engines with 2-piece rear main seals, plus Ford 289-460 V8 engines.

• Made in the USA with a 1-year free-from-defect warranty

Description

Ford's Big Block Changeover (BBCO) pattern solved a common problem: how to run an 11.5" clutch on a flywheel originally designed for a smaller unit. The 11.5" long pattern bolts to the existing flywheel bolt circle while delivering the increased clamping force and friction surface area of a larger clutch assembly. This Superior clutch kit brings that proven BBCO configuration together with organic friction facings and a 26-spline hub for Ford Big Block builds requiring the heavy-duty input shaft size.

The organic/organic friction material offers predictable engagement characteristics that street-driven and mild performance vehicles demand. Unlike aggressive ceramic or metallic facings, organic material grabs progressively rather than abruptly, making stop-and-go traffic and daily driving far more manageable. The diaphragm-style pressure plate provides consistent clamping force across the entire friction surface while requiring less pedal effort than Borg & Beck designs of similar holding capacity.

The 26-spline x 1-1/8" sprung hub is designed for transmissions like the Ford Toploader, TREMEC TKO, and TKX that utilize the larger input shaft spline count. The sprung hub design absorbs driveline shock during aggressive launches and reduces gear rattle at idle, extending transmission life while improving overall shift quality. With a 400 lb-ft torque rating, this kit handles stock to mildly built Big Block Ford combinations without breaking the bank.

Every Superior brand clutch disk is hand-assembled in-house at MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility. Each assembly is checked and double-checked for accuracy before shipping, so what arrives is a ready-to-install premium piece right out of the box. The included bronze pilot bushing is precision-manufactured from oil-impregnated Oilite bronze for long-lasting support of the transmission input shaft snout. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year free-from-defect warranty.

Description

When your Ford big block build demands a clutch upgrade that handles serious torque without compromise, this MDL Superior BBCO (Big Block Change-Over) clutch set delivers. The 11.5-inch long pattern pressure plate is specifically engineered for Ford big block applications requiring the change-over bolt pattern, bridging the gap between stock performance and serious power transmission with a 500 lb-ft torque capacity.

The engineering advantage lies in the dual-material disc construction: Kevlar facing on the pressure plate side provides aggressive initial bite and heat resistance, while the steel-backed organic material on the flywheel side delivers smooth engagement and extended service life. This combination eliminates the harsh on-off engagement of full ceramic setups while maintaining the holding power needed for performance street applications. The sprung hub design absorbs driveline shock and reduces gear rattle - critical for street-driven performance builds where daily drivability matters.

Every Superior brand clutch disc is hand-built in-house at MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility. Each assembly is checked and double-checked for quality, tolerances, and accuracy before it goes in the box.

Description

Ford Big Block builders making the swap to a modern overdrive transmission need a clutch that matches the 11.5" long pattern bolt configuration. This Superior BBCO (Big Block Change Over) clutch kit delivers exactly that--a complete, ready-to-install package with the correct pattern for transmission conversions while handling serious torque loads. Rated at 600 lb-ft, it bridges the gap between stock replacements and full-race setups, making it the go-to choice for performance street driving and open track days.

The clutch disk features Kevlar facings on both sides, providing the ideal balance of grip, modulation, and thermal stability. Kevlar handles the heat cycling of spirited driving better than organic materials while offering smoother engagement than ceramic compounds--you get aggressive holding power without the grabby, on-off feel that makes street driving a chore. The sprung hub dampens driveline shock for smoother operation, and the 26-spline x 1-1/8" center matches Big Block Ford transmission input shafts.

Every Superior clutch disk is hand-assembled at MDL's facility in Caldwell, Idaho. Components are double-riveted and checked twice for accuracy before shipping, so what arrives is a precision piece ready to bolt on--no sorting through mismatched parts or questionable quality. The diaphragm pressure plate provides consistent clamping force across the entire disk surface for even wear and predictable pedal feel.

This kit includes the mechanical throw-out bearing for cable or mechanical linkage systems, a Big Block Ford pilot bushing, and an alignment tool to simplify installation. Designed for Ford Big Block engines using the 11.5" long pattern bolt configuration. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year free-from-defect warranty.

Pressure Plate Bolt Kit | 5/16"-18 x 3/4" | Set of 6

Key Features

• 5/16"-18 thread pitch with 3/4" under-head length
• Complete six-bolt set for standard pressure plate mounting
• Universal fitment for Ford, GM, and Mopar applications using 5/16" hardware
• Critical safety hardware for reliable clutch assembly retention
• Backed by manufacturer's warranty against defects

Description

Pressure plate bolts are among the most critical safety components in any drivetrain. These six fasteners are all that stands between a properly functioning clutch and a catastrophic failure that can destroy transmissions, scatter debris through the bellhousing, or worse. This isn't the place to grab whatever's sitting in the hardware drawer.

This six-bolt kit delivers the 5/16"-18 x 3/4" specification needed for the majority of domestic muscle cars and classic performance applications. The 5/16"-18 thread pitch provides the strength-to-weight balance that made this specification an OEM standard across Ford, GM, and Mopar platforms. The 3/4" under-head length accommodates most standard pressure plate thicknesses without bottoming out in flywheel threads or leaving inadequate engagement.

Unlike generic hardware-store fasteners, these bolts are designed specifically for clutch applications where vibration resistance, proper thread engagement, and precise clamping loads are essential. Proper pressure plate hardware prevents the loosening and shearing that leads to clutch separation under high-RPM loads. Whether you're rebuilding a numbers-matching classic or assembling a street/strip performer, using the correct pressure plate bolts isn't optional.

Compatible with most domestic clutch applications using 5/16" pressure plate bolts. Verify thread specification and length requirements for your specific application before installation.

What's Included

• Six (6) pressure plate bolts, 5/16"-18 x 3/4"
• Manufacturer's warranty against defects

Key Features

• 8740 chromoly steel hardened to 180,000 PSI tensile strength - far exceeds Grade 8 hardware
• 5/16-18 thread with 0.780-inch underhead length for optimal grip on Ford V8 flywheels
• Black oxide finish resists corrosion and delivers a clean, professional appearance
• 1/2-inch hex head for secure wrench engagement during installation
• Large-diameter, low-profile design improves flywheel register engagement
• Application-specific engineering ensures proper thread engagement and clamping force
• Made in the USA with ARP's aerospace-grade quality standards

Description

Every time you stab the throttle, your pressure plate bolts absorb the rotational forces trying to tear your clutch apart. Factory hardware is engineered to a price point - not a performance standard. ARP's High Performance Series pressure plate bolts are forged from premium 8740 chromoly steel and heat-treated to 180,000 PSI tensile strength, delivering a substantial margin of safety over standard Grade 8 fasteners that simply can't match this level of clamping force under stress.

These aren't generic bolts cut to length. Each fastener features a precisely engineered 0.780-inch underhead length optimized specifically for Ford 289-460 V8 applications (1985 and earlier). The large-diameter, low-profile hex head design provides increased shank strength and improved flywheel register engagement compared to OEM hardware. The black oxide finish not only resists corrosion in the harsh bellhousing environment but also looks right on a performance build.

Whether you're building a weekend warrior that sees occasional strip duty or a dedicated road course car that lives at high RPM, these bolts eliminate a critical weak point in your drivetrain. The included hardened washers distribute clamping load evenly across the pressure plate mounting surface, preventing galling and ensuring consistent torque values. For best results, ARP recommends using their Ultra-Torque assembly lubricant to achieve accurate, repeatable torque readings.

Direct fitment for Ford 289, 302, 351W, 351C, 351M, 400, 390, 427, 428, 429, and 460 V8 engines using the standard 5/16-18 six-bolt pressure plate pattern.

Description

Factory plastic pedal bushings are one of the most common failure points in classic Mustang clutch systems. They wear quickly, creating sloppy pedal feel, increased effort, and inconsistent clutch engagement. This roller bearing kit permanently solves that problem by replacing those soft plastic pieces with steel roller bearings that deliver smooth, precise pedal action for years.

The roller bearing design dramatically reduces friction at the pivot point, translating directly to lighter pedal effort and more tactile clutch feel. Instead of fighting a sticky, binding pedal during spirited driving, you get consistent engagement every time. The zinc-plated roller bearing supports clip directly into your existing factory mounting points, maintaining OEM appearance while delivering superior durability.

For pedal hangers that show wear from years of use, the kit includes a reinforcement washer that can be welded in place to restore structural integrity before installing the new bearings. This is a straightforward upgrade once the pedal support assembly is removed from the vehicle. Note that 1969-1973 applications may require minor modification to the pedal bracket assembly for proper fitment.

Designed as a direct replacement for Ford part number C5ZZ-2478-RB, this kit fits 1965-1973 Mustangs and works with many other Ford applications from the same era. If your clutch pedal feels agricultural instead of precise, worn bushings are likely the culprit - and this kit is the permanent fix.

Description

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. Whether you are finishing a classic muscle car, a restomod, or a modern performance machine, the MDL logo and 5-speed pattern tell everyone you built it right.

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.

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.

Speedometer Cable | 1967-1968 Mustang/Cougar | 5/8" Barrel | T5/TKO/TKX/AOD

Key Features

• 5/8" barrel-style connector matches factory Ford speedometer interface
• 63" overall length accommodates driver-side routing required by T5, TKO, and TKX transmissions [VERIFY: Product description states 63", key_features field states 59" - confirm correct length]
• Designed specifically for '67-'68 Mustang and Cougar five-speed and AOD conversions
• Compatible with Ford T5, TKO, TKX, and AOD transmissions
• Also fits Falcon conversions using MDL front-shift tailhousing or front-shift T5 packages

Description

When you swap from a factory four-speed to a modern T5, TKO, or TKX five-speed, the speedometer cable routing changes completely. These TREMEC transmissions position the mechanical speedometer drive on the driver's (left) side of the case, meaning your original cable won't reach - and trying to force an ill-fitting cable creates binding, premature wear, and inaccurate readings.

This application-specific speedometer cable solves that problem for '67-'68 Mustang and Cougar owners. The 5/8" barrel-style connector interfaces correctly with the Ford speedometer head, while the 63" overall length provides the reach needed for proper left-side routing without binding or excessive slack. The result is a clean installation that keeps your factory speedometer functioning accurately with your new overdrive transmission.

Beyond T5 and TKO/TKX manual swaps, this cable also works for AOD automatic conversions in '67-'68 Mustang and Cougar applications. Falcon owners converting to five-speed can use this cable when paired with MDL front-shift tailhousings or front-shift T5 packages. If you're upgrading to modern overdrive and want to keep your factory speedometer working, this is the cable that makes it happen.

What's Included

• Speedometer cable with 5/8" barrel connector (63" length)

Key Features

• 16-tooth driven gear corrects speedometer accuracy for Ford manual transmission swaps
• Wine color coding for easy tooth count identification during installation and service
• 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
• 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.

Description

Modern manual transmissions feature complex internal components -- multiple gear sets, clutch packs and narrow oil passageways -- that demand a steady supply of high-quality fluid to function properly. Without it, wear and sludge formation can lead to reduced performance and even catastrophic failure requiring thousands of dollars in repairs. This AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid delivers the Dexron III specification required by TREMEC transmissions while providing protection that exceeds conventional fluids.

In both normal and severe service, this synthetic ATF resists wear to the transmission's valve body, gears, clutch plates and synchronizers, helping your TREMEC achieve long service life. The thermally stable formulation guards against the harmful effects of thermal breakdown in elevated heat conditions, while resisting heat-related evaporation and viscosity loss to keep internal components clean and protected.

Formulated with friction modifiers that promote fast, smooth clutch engagement, this fluid delivers responsive shift feel and efficient torque transfer. It remains fluid in sub-zero temperatures, resisting thickening and flowing quickly for reliable shifts during cold starts. The excellent low-temperature fluidity also maximizes fuel efficiency. Seal conditioners help guard against leaks at input shaft seals and other critical points.

TREMEC TKX transmissions use Dexron III or Dexron III/Mercon specification ATF fluid, and Dexron III ATF is also recommended for T56 and TR3650 models. The T5, TKO and TKX five-speed transmissions require approximately 2.75 quarts, while six-speed Magnum transmissions require approximately 3.45 quarts. TREMEC recommends changing fluid after the initial 500-1000 mile break-in period, then every 30,000 miles thereafter.
