Description

Early Falcon owners and hot rod builders face a common problem: standard T5 shifter placement lands behind the seat or requires cutting through the floor support. MDL engineered this front shift T5 specifically to eliminate that headache. The proprietary dual-socket tail housing moves the shifter 6 inches forward compared to a standard T5 - the same forward location used in S-10 Chevy pickup applications. For 1960-1965 Falcon and Comet owners, this puts the shifter at exactly 13.00” from the front of the main case, allowing installation without modifying the floor support structure.

This isn't just a relocated shifter bolted to a stock transmission. MDL's Super-Duty T5 handles 330 ft-lb of torque - a significant upgrade over the standard 300 ft-lb rating. The World Class internals include carbon fiber 3-4 synchro rings, improved synchronizers and bearings throughout, plus a Cobra-style pocket bearing for enhanced input shaft support. The steel front bearing retainer adds durability where standard units use aluminum. At just 75 lbs dry, this remains the most compact overdrive manual transmission for space-constrained builds.

The 2.95 first gear delivers strong launches while the deep 0.63 overdrive drops engine RPM significantly on the highway - reducing wear, lowering temperatures, and improving fuel economy. An optional 0.73 overdrive is available for builders who want an even taller fifth gear. The transmission is configured for Ford mechanical speedometer operation with the included 7-tooth speedo gear and uses a GM-style transmission mount (MD-604-1102, sold separately).

Prime candidates include 1960-1965 Falcons, hot rods, street rods, trucks of all years, kit cars, and Shelby 289 Cobras where traditional rear shift placement creates packaging or ergonomic problems. This transmission requires 2.75 quarts of Dexron III ATF. An optional offset shifter is available to move shifter position back up to 2 inches if needed - contact sales for details.

Description

Eliminate bellhousing flex and the accelerated drivetrain wear that comes with it. The QuickTime RM-6060 steel bellhousing connects Ford small block engines (289, 302, 351C, 351W) to Ford T5 Mustang, TKO 500/600, TKX, or TR3550 transmissions using standard-length input shafts. Unlike cheaper alternatives made from rolled or stamped steel, QuickTime's unique spin-forming process creates a cone that maintains perfect engine-to-transmission alignment throughout the entire RPM range.

The engineering advantage is measurable: high-grade steel that work-hardens to over 80,000 PSI delivers more than twice the strength of competing steel bellhousings while keeping weight down to approximately 20 pounds. This rigidity translates directly to reduced input shaft wear, consistent clutch engagement, and improved power transfer. The bellhousing is 6.925 inches deep with a universal transmission bore of 4.850/4.910 inches, designed for use with 157-tooth flywheels and clutches up to 10.5 inches.

This is a universal-fit bellhousing -- not vehicle-specific -- making it ideal for engine swaps, restomod builds, and custom applications where the factory bellhousing won't work. Universal shifter fork brackets accommodate mechanical, cable, or hydraulic clutch linkages. Note that transmission mounting bolts are not included. QuickTime holds patents on 16 points of bellhousing design and process, with input from OEM engineers, engine builders, transmission builders, and racers. Made in the USA.

Important: This bellhousing is NOT SFI certified. Many sanctioning bodies require SFI 6.1 certification for cars running 11.49 or faster in the quarter mile. If you need SFI certification, see QuickTime RM-6065.

Description

When you're running deep into the 11s or faster, track officials aren't going to let you stage without an SFI-certified bellhousing. The QuickTime RM-6065 delivers that certification while solving another critical problem: bellhousing flex. Lesser bellhousings made from rolled or stamped steel distort under load, causing accelerated wear on your input shaft, pilot bearing, and clutch assembly. QuickTime's patented spin-forming process creates a bellhousing that maintains perfect engine-to-transmission alignment throughout the entire RPM range.

The difference is in the manufacturing. QuickTime cones are spun rather than rolled or stamped, resulting in the most dimensionally stable bellhousing on the market. This high-grade steel construction work hardens to over 80,000 PSI - more than twice the strength of conventional steel bellhousings - while keeping weight down to just 22 pounds. The compact design provides clearance for headers without requiring tunnel modifications.

The RM-6065 connects 6-bolt small block Ford engines (289, 302, 351W, 351C) to Ford-pattern T5 (standard-length input shaft), TR3550, TKO 500/600, or TKX transmissions. The universal 4.850/4.910-inch transmission bore accommodates all these gearboxes, while the 157-tooth flywheel compatibility and 10.5-inch maximum clutch diameter handle serious power. Universal fork brackets work with diaphragm or cable-operated linkage, and the bellhousing accepts cable, hydraulic, or mechanical clutch release systems.

This is a universal fit bellhousing - not vehicle specific - making it ideal for swaps, restorations, and custom builds where you need proven SFI 6.1 protection without compromise. Proudly made in the USA with patents on 16 points of bellhousing design and process.

Description

Block plates solve a critical alignment issue in manual transmission swaps and rebuilds. These metal plates sit between your engine block and transmission bellhousing, positioning the starter to ensure proper starter drive engagement with your flywheel ring gear. Without the correct plate for your flywheel tooth count, the starter pinion may crash into the ring gear or fail to engage entirely -- causing starter kickout, flywheel damage, or both.

This MDL block plate is engineered to OEM Ford Racing M-7007-B specifications, manufactured from 0.080-inch thick steel for maximum strength and longevity. The clear zinc plating sets it apart from unfinished factory-style alternatives -- protecting against rust and corrosion in harsh engine bay environments while providing a cleaner, more finished appearance. The plate also helps contain flywheel or clutch breakage, adding an extra layer of safety to your drivetrain.

The 6-bolt mounting pattern fits Ford Small Block engines including 289, 302, 351W, and 5.0L applications. Designed specifically for 157-tooth flywheel configurations, this plate ensures correct starter indexing when paired with T5, TKO, or TKX transmissions. Works seamlessly in front of MDL's aluminum bellhousings for T5 (MD-401-1101) and TKO (MD-401-1401) applications. Installs easily with no modifications to your engine block or bellhousing.

What's Included

• 1x Block plate -- 0.080-inch thick steel with clear zinc plating

Key Features

• Metric thread bolts sized specifically for T5 transmission-to-bellhousing mounting
• Correct bolt lengths engineered for aluminum bellhousing applications
• Eliminates the risk of reusing stretched or worn hardware
• Front shift T5 specific fitment for Ford applications
• Fresh hardware ensures proper clamping force and drivetrain integrity

Description

Mounting a front shift T5 transmission to an aluminum bellhousing requires hardware that fits correctly and clamps securely. Reusing old bolts is a common shortcut that introduces risk—fasteners stretch under load and lose their clamping force over time. This hardware kit provides fresh, properly sized bolts engineered specifically for the T5-to-aluminum-bellhousing interface, giving you confidence in your drivetrain assembly.

The T5 transmission uses metric threading for its bellhousing mounting points—a detail that catches many builders off guard when mixing SAE and metric hardware on a Ford drivetrain. This kit includes the correct metric bolts with the proper length for aluminum bellhousing castings, eliminating the guesswork and hardware store trips that slow down your build.

Whether you're performing a 5-speed conversion, rebuilding a front shift T5 setup, or simply replacing questionable hardware during a clutch job, this kit delivers the right fasteners for the application. The front shift T5 configuration positions the shifter further forward in the tunnel, making it a popular choice for classic Ford builds where shifter location matters.

Designed specifically for Ford front shift T5 applications with aluminum bellhousings. Using the correct hardware isn't just good practice—it's essential for a transmission that sees real use.

What's Included

• Transmission-to-bellhousing mounting bolts (metric thread) [VERIFY: exact quantity and dimensions]
• Associated washers and fasteners [VERIFY: specific contents]

Key Features

• Direct-fit replacement for 1979-1993 Fox-Body Mustang cable-style bellhousings
• Compatible with both factory cable actuation and external hydraulic slave cylinder setups
• Works with TREMEC T5, TKO, and 1993 & earlier Windsor T56 transmissions
• Correct 9 o'clock fork position specific to Fox-Body applications - not interchangeable with SN95 forks
• Proper pivot point geometry for reliable clutch engagement

Description

When you're building or maintaining a Fox-Body Mustang with a manual transmission, using the correct clutch fork isn't optional - it's critical. This clutch lever is specifically engineered for 1979-1993 Mustangs and delivers the proper pivot geometry required for clean, consistent clutch engagement with cable-style bellhousings.

The Fox-Body clutch fork positions at the 9 o'clock location when viewed from the rear of the bellhousing - a distinctly different orientation than the SN95's 7 o'clock position. This isn't just a cosmetic difference: the lever length and pivot points are purpose-built for Fox applications. Using the wrong fork creates severe cable angle problems, premature cable wear, and inconsistent clutch feel. SN95 forks are longer with different pivot spacing and cannot be substituted.

This fork works equally well whether you're running the original cable actuation or upgrading to an external hydraulic slave cylinder. When paired with external hydraulics, the fork operates as a pusher instead of the traditional cable pull - eliminating the stretching, snapping, and binding issues that plague factory clutch cables over time. The result is smoother pedal effort and more reliable engagement, especially with high-performance clutches.

Compatible with 1979-1993 Mustang applications running TREMEC T5, TKO, or 1993 & earlier Windsor T56 transmissions. Requires a compatible cable-style small-block bellhousing for proper fitment.

What's Included

• One (1) clutch fork/lever for 1979-1993 Fox-Body Mustang

Key Features

• Direct-fit replacement for 1979-1993 Mustang cable-actuated clutch systems
• Compatible with SROD, T5, TKO, and Windsor T56 transmissions
• Seals bellhousing opening to protect clutch components from dirt, debris, and moisture
• Not required when running MDL external hydraulic slave cylinder conversions

Description

The factory clutch lever cover is one of those parts that gets overlooked until it cracks, warps, or disappears entirely during an engine pull. Without it, the opening where your clutch release lever passes through the bellhousing becomes an open invitation for road grime, dirt, and moisture to contaminate your clutch assembly and accelerate wear on critical components.

This replacement cover restores the sealed environment your clutch needs. It fits all 1979-1993 Mustangs (and Mercury Capris) equipped with cable-actuated clutch systems, covering the full range of factory and swap transmissions including SROD, T5, TKO, and Windsor T56 applications. If you are retaining your cable clutch setup, this cover belongs on your build.

One important note: if you are converting to an MDL external hydraulic slave cylinder, this cover is not required and should actually be left off. The hydraulic components occupy the space where the cover mounts, and removing it improves air circulation for better clutch cooling during street use.

Kit Includes

• Clutch lever cover

Description

Running a classic Ford small block and want flexibility in your clutch setup? This dual-pattern cast iron flywheel eliminates the one-flywheel-per-clutch-size limitation that plagues so many builds. The machined face accepts both the 10" long-style diaphragm clutches found in vintage applications and the 10.4" metric diaphragm clutches used on high-performance '79–'01 Mustangs — so you can start with a stock-style clutch and upgrade to a higher-capacity unit later without pulling the flywheel.

Cast iron construction delivers the rotating mass needed for civilized street manners: smooth idle, progressive engagement, and excellent heat absorption during stop-and-go driving. The 157-tooth ring gear mates with the smaller-diameter bellhousings and starters common on '64–'68 Mustangs and other early Ford small block applications. Precision machining ensures a flat, true friction surface that improves clutch performance and reduces vibration.

The 28oz external imbalance is correct for pre-1981 Ford Windsor and Cleveland engines — 260, 289, 302, 351W, and 351C. (Post-1981 5.0L engines use a 50oz imbalance; verify your engine's balance before ordering.) The 6-bolt crank pattern with 7/16" hardware provides a secure connection to the crankshaft flange.

Compatible with 3-speed, 4-speed, and T5 5-speed manual transmissions. While cast iron flywheels work for light motorsports use, understand the RPM and load limits — billet steel offers better stability for sustained high-RPM or competition applications.

• 10.4" metric clutch pattern with equalizing pin holes for diaphragm-style pressure plates
• 6-bolt crankshaft mounting pattern matches Ford factory configuration
• 19 lbs flywheel weight provides optimal rotational mass for smooth street driving
• Includes clutch alignment pins for precise pressure plate installation

Description

When Ford switched the 302 to the 5.0L designation in 1981, they also changed the external balance from 28oz to 50oz. That means every '81-'95 5.0L Windsor needs a flywheel with the correct counterweight to maintain proper engine balance and eliminate vibration. This cast iron flywheel delivers exactly that - the right balance for your late-model small-block Ford, with the 157-tooth ring gear that mates to standard small-block bellhousings and starters.

The 10.4" metric clutch pattern is a Ford-specific design that uses alignment pins rather than shouldered bolts to locate the pressure plate. These equalizing pins ensure precise concentricity between the pressure plate and flywheel - critical for smooth clutch engagement and even wear. The metric pattern accommodates modern diaphragm-style pressure plates with 8mm hardware, making it compatible with factory and aftermarket clutch assemblies designed for '83-'95 Mustangs and other 5.0L applications.

Cast iron provides the strength and thermal stability needed for street duty, absorbing and dissipating heat through repeated clutch engagements without the hot spots that can develop on lighter materials. At 19 lbs, this flywheel maintains enough rotational mass for smooth idle and progressive engagement - the kind of drivability you want in a daily driver or weekend cruiser. The 6-bolt crankshaft pattern bolts directly to the factory crank flange with no adapters or modifications required.

Description

When you're building a high-revving Ford small block, your flywheel needs to handle the abuse without becoming a liability. Cast iron flywheels can crack under stress, and non-certified components may not meet the safety standards required at the track. This SFI certified billet steel flywheel delivers the strength and peace of mind that serious builds demand - meeting the rigorous testing standards established by the SFI Foundation for replacement flywheels and clutch assemblies.

The billet steel construction provides superior tensile strength compared to cast alternatives, resisting the centrifugal forces that tear lesser flywheels apart at high RPM. The lightweight design reduces rotating mass for quicker throttle response and faster revs, while maintaining enough thermal mass for consistent clutch engagement. Zero balance (internal balance) simplifies installation on Ford 289, 302, 351W, and 351C engines that use internally balanced rotating assemblies.

Versatility is built into the design with dual clutch bolt patterns. The 10" long pattern accepts 5/16" pressure plate bolts, while the 10.4" metric pattern uses 8mm bolts - and the metric alignment pins come pre-installed so you're ready for either setup. The 6.00" clutch damper counter-bore provides proper clearance for diaphragm-style pressure plates. Note that 157-tooth flywheels require a 3/4" offset starter (often labeled as "automatic" in parts catalogs) for proper ring gear engagement.

Manufactured in the USA with US-milled steel, this flywheel delivers the quality and consistency that American craftsmanship is known for. Whether you're building a weekend warrior or a dedicated track car, SFI certification means this flywheel meets the standards required by most sanctioning bodies for competition use.

Kit Includes

• Billet steel flywheel with 157-tooth ring gear
• Pre-installed 10.4" metric clutch alignment pins

Key Features

• Lighten billet steel construction resists stress cracking and handles higher RPM loads than cast iron
• 157-tooth ring gear with 28oz external imbalance for pre-1982 Ford 289/302/351W engines
• Dual clutch bolt patterns accommodate both 10" and 10.5" pressure plates
• 28 lb weight balances reduced rotational mass with smooth street drivability
• 6-bolt crankshaft mounting pattern; clutch alignment pins included
• Compatible with Ford Racing 363/427ci crate engines
• Precision-machined from US-milled steel; Made in the USA

Overview

Factory cast iron flywheels have their limits. At high RPM or under aggressive clutch clamping loads, they can develop stress cracks that compromise both performance and safety. This lighten billet steel flywheel replaces that weak link with a material that's fundamentally stronger—billet steel resists cracking and remains stable under the demands of performance driving.

The "lighten" designation refers to strategic material removal that reduces rotational mass without sacrificing structural integrity. At 19 lbs, this flywheel strikes the sweet spot between weight reduction and street manners—light enough for improved throttle response and quicker revs, yet heavy enough to maintain smooth idle characteristics and prevent the stalling issues common with ultra-lightweight aluminum units. The result is a flywheel that feels responsive on throttle tip-in while still delivering civilized behavior in traffic.

Dual clutch bolt patterns machined into the friction surface eliminate fitment guesswork, accepting both 10" and 10.5" pressure plates. The 157-tooth ring gear and 28oz external imbalance match OE specifications for pre-December 1982 small block Fords, ensuring proper starter engagement and crankshaft balance. This flywheel fits Ford 289, 302, and 351W Windsor engines, plus Ford Racing 363ci and 427ci stroker crate motors that use the 28oz balance specification.

Six-bolt crankshaft mounting provides secure attachment, while included clutch alignment pins ensure proper disc positioning during installation. Every flywheel is precision-machined from US-milled steel and manufactured in the USA.

What's Included

• Lighten billet steel flywheel (28 lbs)
• 157-tooth ring gear (installed)

• CNC-machined friction surface for consistent clutch engagement
• Made in the USA with lifetime technical support from MDL

Description

Cast iron flywheels can't handle serious RPM or the repeated abuse of high-horsepower launches. This billet steel flywheel is precision CNC-machined from certified steel, engineered to survive the stress levels that crack and shatter cast units. At 19 pounds, it sheds significant rotating mass compared to heavy OEM flywheels -- translating to quicker revs, faster deceleration between shifts, and reduced parasitic drag on the crankshaft.

The 28oz external balance is critical: all Ford 221, 260, 289, 302, and 351W engines built before December 1982 use a 28-ounce offset balance. Mismatch the balance weight and you'll introduce severe harmonic vibration that punishes bearings and shortens engine life. Post-1981 5.0L High Output engines switched to a 50oz balance -- this flywheel is not for those applications. Match your balance weight to your engine's build date, not the vehicle year.

The dual bolt pattern accommodates both 10" and 10.5" clutch assemblies, giving you flexibility when selecting or upgrading your pressure plate without swapping flywheels. The 157-tooth ring gear is the standard configuration for most small block Ford manual transmission applications in vintage Mustangs, Falcons, Fairlanes, and similar platforms.

SFI certified for competition use where sanctioning bodies require rated flywheel and clutch assemblies. Compatible with Ford small block Windsor engines using the standard six-bolt crankshaft mounting pattern and requiring 28oz external balance. Made in the USA with lifetime technical support from MDL.

Description

Factory cast iron flywheels become the weak link when you push serious power through a 5.0L Windsor. Cast iron is prone to stress cracking under repeated high-RPM clutch engagement, and a cracked flywheel at speed is a catastrophic failure waiting to happen. This lightened billet steel flywheel delivers the strength needed for high-performance street builds and competition use while shaving weight to improve engine response.

Billet steel is considerably stronger than cast iron and remains free of the stress cracks that plague factory flywheels under heavy use. The lightened design reduces rotational mass compared to standard-weight flywheels, allowing faster throttle response on acceleration and quicker RPM drop on deceleration - a noticeable improvement whether you're rowing through gears on the street or chasing lap times. The 50oz external balance matches factory 5.0L engine specifications for 1981-1995 applications, ensuring smooth operation with no vibration.

The dual clutch pattern provides flexibility in clutch selection, accepting both 10.5" metric diaphragm pressure plates and 10" long-style setups. Metric alignment pins come pre-installed to ensure proper clutch disc centering during installation. Note that diaphragm clutches require metric pressure plate bolts (MD-403-2003 or MD-403-2003ARP), while the 10" long pattern uses 5/16" bolts (MD-403-2004).

Engineered for Ford small block Windsor engines with 157-tooth starter ring gear applications. Fits all 1981-1995 Ford 5.0L engines requiring 50oz external balance. Proudly made in the USA using US-milled billet steel.

What's Included

• Lightened billet steel flywheel with 157-tooth ring gear

Description

Shed rotational mass without sacrificing reliability. This lightweight aluminum flywheel weighs just 19 lbs compared to heavy cast iron units, helping your engine reach higher RPMs quicker due to reduced rotating mass. That reduced inertia translates to improved throttle response and acceleration - the engine spends less energy spinning up the flywheel and more energy putting power to the wheels.

The riveted steel clutch facing provides superior heat dissipation and wear characteristics compared to bonded surfaces. Unlike cheaper aluminum flywheels that use pressed-on ring gears, this 157-tooth steel ring gear is mechanically fastened to the flywheel body, preventing the ring gear separation failures that can occur under high-stress conditions. The dual bolt pattern accommodates both vintage 10" Long-style and modern 10.4" metric pressure plates with dowel pins - eliminating compatibility guesswork across Ford's clutch evolution.

Engineered specifically for Ford small block 289, 302, and 351W Windsor engines, this flywheel comes standard as zero balance for internally balanced engines. For externally balanced applications, 28 oz or 50 oz counterweight options are available to match your specific crankshaft requirements - pre-1981 302s and all 351Ws use 28 oz imbalance, while 1981+ 302/5.0L engines require 50 oz.

Note: Aluminum flywheels spin up faster but have less stored energy than cast iron, which can make the engine easier to stall at low RPMs. If paired with a dual clutch set, this helps offset some of the characteristics. Aluminum flywheels should never be paired with ceramic or bronze clutches due to the added heat they generate. It is recommended to warm the flywheel before installing on the crank. Not SFI approved - intended for street performance and moderate competition use. Made in the USA with lifetime technical support.

• Made in the USA

Description

Ditch the heavy factory cast iron flywheel and drop serious rotating mass from your Ford small block. This aluminum flywheel delivers the weight reduction performance builds demand while maintaining the durability street engines require. Lighter rotating mass means quicker engine response and faster acceleration through the gears - your engine revs up and recovers faster between shifts.

The engineering here focuses on heat management and longevity. The riveted steel clutch facing provides a durable friction surface that handles heat far better than aluminum-on-aluminum contact, preventing warping and premature wear in spirited driving. The high-carbon steel ring gear is riveted to the aluminum body rather than pressed or shrunk on - this prevents the ring gear from walking off the flywheel under the repeated thermal cycling and shock loads of hard use.

This flywheel carries the correct 28oz external balance for pre-1981 Ford 289 and 302 engines, as well as all 351 Windsor engines regardless of year. The 157-tooth ring gear is sized for small bellhousing applications - the compact aluminum bellhousing, not the larger cast iron 164-tooth style. Includes dowel pins for proper clutch alignment with 10.5-inch diaphragm clutch kits.

Installation note: It is recommended to warm the flywheel before installing on the crankshaft for proper thermal expansion and fit. Aluminum flywheels should not be paired with ceramic or bronze-faced clutch discs due to the excessive heat these materials generate. Made in the USA.

What's Included

• Aluminum flywheel with steel clutch facing
• 157-tooth steel ring gear (riveted)
• Clutch alignment dowel pins for 10.5-inch clutch

Key Features

• Riveted steel clutch facing permanently fastened to aluminum body - prevents ring gear separation under high loads

• Made in the USA

Description

Cut rotating mass from your 5.0L drivetrain with this aluminum flywheel, purpose-built for 1981-1995 Ford 5.0L HO engines. Weighing just 19 lbs, it delivers noticeably quicker throttle response and faster RPM changes compared to stock cast iron units - ideal for road racing, autocross, and spirited street driving where nimble engine response matters more than low-RPM grunt.

The critical engineering detail is the riveted steel clutch facing. Unlike cheaper aluminum flywheels that rely on shrink-fit alone, this design permanently fastens the steel ring gear to the aluminum body using mechanical fasteners. This prevents the ring gear from walking or separating under hard launches and high-heat clutch engagement - a common failure mode when differential thermal expansion rates cause the steel ring gear to loosen on an aluminum body.

The 50oz external imbalance is factory-correct for Ford 5.0L HO engines from 1981-1995, ensuring smooth operation without vibration. The 157-tooth ring gear matches OEM specifications for proper starter motor engagement. Six-bolt crankshaft attachment follows Ford's original pattern, and the 10.4" metric clutch bolt pattern with alignment pins accommodates most performance clutch upgrades.

Important: Aluminum flywheels reduce stored rotational energy, which can make low-RPM driving feel less forgiving - they're easier to stall from a stop. This flywheel should not be paired with ceramic or bronze clutch discs, as the excessive heat generated can damage the aluminum body. It is recommended to warm the flywheel before installing on the crankshaft for optimal fit. Made in the USA.

What's Included

• Aluminum flywheel with riveted steel clutch facing
• Clutch alignment pins

Description

Swapping a manual transmission into your '60-'65 Falcon, Comet, or Ranchero means you need a clutch pedal that fits right and delivers proper pedal geometry. This OEM replacement clutch pedal solves the problem with a design that matches factory specifications while adding a key feature for easier installation: a removable pivot shaft.

The removable pivot shaft makes a real difference during installation. Instead of wrestling the entire pedal assembly into tight under-dash clearances, you can position the pedal first, then slide the pivot shaft into place. This approach saves time and frustration, especially in the cramped confines of early Falcon firewalls.

Construction quality matches the engineering thought behind the design. Each pedal is laser-cut from steel and formed with CNC bends, ensuring repeatable geometry that delivers the correct pedal ratio and travel distance. The precision manufacturing means the pedal swings true on its pivot without the slop or misalignment that can plague lesser reproductions.

For automatic-to-manual conversions, the stock pedal support bracket is reused, and the existing brake pedal can be trimmed on the left side to create the proper manual transmission brake pedal configuration. This maintains factory mounting points while adding the clutch function your swap requires. Proudly manufactured in the USA.

What's Included

• Steel clutch pedal assembly

Description

Converting to a TREMEC T5, TKO, or TKX transmission in early Falcons, Comets, and Rancheros means solving the clutch actuation puzzle without butchering your firewall. This MDL clutch cable kit delivers a complete bolt-on solution that retains your factory clutch pedal while providing the precise cable routing these compact chassis demand.

The engineering centers on preserving factory pedal geometry while adapting it for cable operation. The bolt-on adjustable pedal bracket provides the pulling action without welding, while the firewall plate mounts cleanly behind your brake master cylinder or factory brake booster. A firewall-mounted adjustment requires no tools and gives you precise control over clutch engagement feel. Where other kits force you into compromises, this system maintains full pedal travel and leverage.

Cable routing separates this kit from generic Fox Body adaptations. MDL designed this cable specifically for early Falcons and Comets - it routes ahead of the exhaust system and follows the oil pan flange contour to clear factory and aftermarket exhaust configurations. The cable housing stays secure with mounting hardware that uses an existing oil pan bolt, and connects to the cable fork through a fully adjustable rod end for precise engagement tuning.

This kit requires a cable-release bellhousing with a minimum 7-inch depth and works exclusively with pull-style clutch forks. Fits 1960-65 Ford Falcon, Mercury Comet, and Ford Ranchero applications. Not recommended for use with long-tube headers due to heat concerns that may damage the cable outer casing - shorty headers are acceptable with proper heat management. For long-tube header applications, consider an internal hydraulic release bearing solution.

Description

Converting your 1960-1965 Falcon, Comet, or Ranchero to a TREMEC manual transmission or ditching your factory Z-bar mechanical linkage? The traditional approach to hydraulic clutch conversions creates problems: a 3/4-inch or 7/8-inch bore master cylinder with only 1-inch of stroke, mounted directly to the pedal. This forces the cylinder higher than the stock clutch rod hole, creates firewall interference, and delivers heavy pedal pressure that ruins the driving experience.

The MDL Light Foot Series solves these problems with an innovative mechanical linkage that matches full pedal travel to a long-stroke master cylinder. The 0.700-inch bore paired with 1.4-inch stroke generates sufficient fluid volume to actuate most aftermarket external slave cylinders and internal hydraulic release bearings. The linkage design maintains your stock clutch pedal pivot point and uses the original clutch rod hole where possible, keeping pedal feel natural while dramatically reducing effort. By keeping the master cylinder perpendicular to the firewall, the linkage eliminates the binding that plagues angled installations.

The remote black billet aluminum reservoir mounts separately on the firewall, providing clean aesthetics and easy fluid level monitoring without packaging constraints near the master cylinder. This kit works with your factory clutch pedal or OE reproduction aftermarket pedals and is compatible with most industry-standard internal and external slave cylinders. Requires factory firewall, pedal, and pedal hanger to be in good working condition. Uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.

Description

Converting your 1960-1965 Falcon, Comet, or Ranchero from mechanical Z-bar linkage to hydraulic clutch actuation eliminates adjustment hassles and provides superior pedal feel--but typical retrofit kits create as many problems as they solve. The common approach uses a 3/4" or 7/8" bore by 1" stroke master cylinder mounted directly to the pedal, resulting in heavy pedal pressure and firewall interference. The LF Series takes a fundamentally different approach.

MDL's engineering solves these issues with an innovative pedal linkage that matches pedal travel with a long-stroke master cylinder. The 0.700" bore paired with a 1.4" stroke generates sufficient fluid volume for most aftermarket external or internal slave systems while the mechanical linkage creates leverage advantage--dramatically reducing the pedal effort required to operate the clutch. The firewall-mounted plate allows the master cylinder to position perpendicular to the firewall using the existing clutch rod mounting hole, eliminating binding and minimizing firewall stress.

The clear billet aluminum remote reservoir provides a clean, show-quality appearance while allowing easy fluid level inspection. It mounts directly to the firewall for simple installation. The full system maintains the stock pedal pivot point and optimizes full pedal stroke for better clutch control--you get modern hydraulic reliability with the pedal feel you expect from the factory setup.

This kit requires factory components in good working order. Any modifications or damage to the firewall, pedal, or pedal hanger will affect master cylinder performance. Uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.

Description

Fox-body and SN95 Mustang clutch cables are notorious for clearance headaches, binding against headers, and developing a heavy, draggy pedal feel as they wear. This MDL Lightfoot Series external hydraulic slave cylinder kit eliminates those problems by converting your 1979-1993 Mustang's aluminum T5, TKO, or TKX bellhousing from cable operation to reliable hydraulic actuation.

The slave cylinder mounts directly to the bellhousing fork opening behind the original cable fork, pushing the fork instead of pulling it for proper clutch release. This rear-push design provides exhaust clearance that clutch cables simply cannot match, making it compatible with long-tube headers while keeping the cylinder accessible for installation and service. The adjustable pushrod allows you to dial in precise clutch engagement without pulling the bellhousing.

Engineered as a complete system, this kit pairs seamlessly with MDL LF Series master cylinder kits for a fully integrated hydraulic clutch conversion. The 0.75-inch bore slave cylinder delivers consistent pedal feel and full clutch release when matched with the appropriate master cylinder. No bellhousing removal is required - the bolt-on pivot socket works with your existing OEM cable fork, and the easy-access bleed port simplifies initial bleeding and future maintenance.

This kit fits 1979-1993 Ford Mustangs equipped with aluminum T5, TKO, or TKX bellhousings and works with both factory clutch pedals and OE reproduction aftermarket pedals. Uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Made in the USA with lifetime technical support included.

Description

Clutch cables on Fox-body and SN95 Mustangs wear out, bind, and add unnecessary pedal effort - especially when routed around long-tube headers. The LF Series External Hydraulic Slave Kit eliminates those headaches by converting QuickTime RM-6060 and RM-6065 steel bellhousings from cable actuation to smooth, consistent hydraulic release. Designed specifically for small block Ford applications running TKO 500/600, TKX, TR3550, or T5 transmissions, this transmission-mounted system delivers reliable clutch engagement without the clearance compromises of internal slave designs.

The key to this kit's simplicity is its external, transmission-mounted bracket design. Rather than replacing your cable-style clutch fork, the 0.75-inch bore slave cylinder bolts directly to the left two bellhousing bolts and pushes from the rear of the fork - mimicking the mechanical action of a cable system with the precision of hydraulics. The adjustable pushrod allows fine-tuning of clutch engagement point without disassembly, while the external bleeder port makes maintenance straightforward. The compact mounting location tucks the cylinder out of the way of headers and exhaust components that typically interfere with cable routing.

When paired with an MDL LF Series master cylinder kit, you get a complete engineered hydraulic clutch system designed to work together. The matched bore sizes and stroke lengths take the guesswork out of hydraulic ratio calculations, delivering consistent pedal feel and full clutch disengagement. This kit is compatible with both the QuickTime RM-6060 (non-SFI) and RM-6065 (SFI 6.1 certified) bellhousings for small block Ford 302/351W applications.

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.

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.

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.

What's Included

• 16-pulse digital speedometer sensor with three-pin connector
• 10-foot three-wire pigtail harness
• Allen-head mounting bolt

Key Features

• Direct-fit connector for Ford T5, all TKO variants, TKX, and T56 transmissions equipped with two-prong round body reverse switches
• Plug-and-play installation eliminates splicing, cutting, and custom wiring
• Factory-style connector ensures secure electrical contact for reliable backup light operation
• Does not fit Magnum or Magnum XL transmissions (different switch configuration)

Product Overview

Missing or damaged reverse light wiring is a common headache during TREMEC swaps and classic Ford restorations. This replacement harness provides the correct connector to mate with the two-prong round body reverse switch found on Ford T5, TKO, TKO-500, TKO-600, TKX, and T56 manual transmissions. No more hunting through junkyard harnesses or fabricating your own pigtail - just plug in and wire to your vehicle's backup light circuit.

The connector is engineered to match the OEM switch terminal configuration, providing a secure push-on fit that won't vibrate loose. This is a direct replacement for damaged factory harnesses, giving you a clean, professional connection point for your reverse light circuit. Wire colors may require matching to your specific vehicle's backup light wiring.

Note: This harness is specifically designed for transmissions using the two-prong round body style reverse switch. It is not compatible with T56 Magnum or Magnum XL transmissions, which utilize a different switch and connector configuration.

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.

What's Included

• One (1) quart bottle AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid (Dexron III compatible)

Key Features

• 28-spline output shaft fitment for Ford T5, C4, Toploader, AOD, and AODE transmissions
• 1310 series universal joint compatibility with 1-1/16" bearing caps
• 6" overall length - short version for proper driveshaft geometry
• Cast steel construction for durability in street and performance applications
• Intentionally missing spline tooth allows transmission oil to circulate freely
• Manufactured by Neapco to OEM specifications

Description

The slip yoke is the critical link between your transmission output shaft and driveshaft - it has to match both ends perfectly or you're fighting vibration, binding, or accelerated wear. This Neapco 28-spline slip yoke solves the compatibility challenge for Ford drivetrains running T5 manual, C4 automatic, Toploader 4-speed, AOD, or AODE transmissions with 1310 series driveshafts.

At 6" overall length, this is the short variant designed for applications where existing driveshaft length is correct or close to correct. The cast steel body handles the torque demands of modified Ford powertrains while maintaining precise spline engagement with the transmission output shaft. The 1-1/16" bearing cap diameter fits standard 1310 series universal joints, making driveshaft service and U-joint replacement straightforward.

One detail you'll notice: there's a single tooth intentionally missing from the spline. This isn't a defect - it's engineered to allow transmission fluid to circulate freely within the yoke, preventing hydraulic lock and ensuring smooth operation. Neapco builds these yokes to tight tolerances for vibration-free performance.

A critical note for T5 conversions: if you're swapping from a C4 automatic or Toploader 4-speed, your existing driveshaft can often be reused if it's in good condition. However, C4 and Toploader driveshafts are typically too long for T5 applications and require cutting, re-welding, and rebalancing. Do not use this short yoke expecting it to compensate for incorrect driveshaft length - get the geometry right first. MDL provides a measuring guide to help you determine proper driveshaft dimensions for your application.

What's Included

• One 28-spline slip yoke, cast steel construction
• 1310 series U-joint mounting provision (1-1/16" caps)
