Description

The MDL Modified T5 with front position front socket location solves the space and gearing challenges of dropping overdrive into a Ford V8 flathead-powered '32 Ford. This custom front-shift configuration places the shifter socket just 11.75” from the main case front, positioning the lever exactly where you need it while the compact transmission platform tucks below the floor pan without cutting. The 2.95 first gear and deep 0.63 overdrive are geared correctly for flathead torque curves — strong launches without over-revving and relaxed highway cruising that drops RPMs, cuts noise, and extends engine life.

Built on TREMEC's proven T5z platform with Super-Duty upgrades, this transmission handles 330 ft-lb of torque — suitable for 450 hp streetcars on DOT-approved tires. Internal improvements include carbon fiber synchronizer rings on 3rd and 4th gears for smoother high-RPM shifts, Cobra-style pocket bearing for improved load distribution, a steel front bearing retainer for strength, and upgraded synchronizers and bearings throughout. The forward socket location makes this transmission ideal for hotrods and early Rangers where traditional shifter placement doesn't work.

An optional offset shift stub is available to fine-tune shifter position up to 2 inches forward or backward — contact MDL sales staff for details. The rear socket location option (13” from case front) is also available for '60–'65 Falcon and Comet applications. This transmission uses GM transmission mount MD-604-1102 (sold separately) and requires 2.75 quarts of ATF Dexron III. Ford speedometer drive with 7-tooth gear maintains accurate speed readings.

At approximately 75 pounds dry, the T5 is TREMEC's most compact transmission — fitting where others cannot while delivering smooth shifts, easy operation, and proven reliability backed by over 40 years of continuous development. Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, it remains the go-to overdrive solution for lightweight and moderate horsepower builds.

Description

Front-shift T5 conversions create a shifter placement problem: the stock shifter sits too far back for hot rods, street rods, and tight-cockpit builds. The Qwik Stik solves this by pairing with MDL's front shift tail housings to move the shift lever exactly where classic car ergonomics demand - no compromises, no awkward reach.

This shifter has been specifically engineered to work exclusively with MDL's MD-510-1001 front shift T5 tail shaft housings or any MDL front shift T5 front position transmission. Standard shift position tail housings will not work. The front shift position places the shift pivot point at 11.75 inches back from the main case, and the 1.950" or 2.450" forward offset stub moves the shift knob even further into the driver's reach zone.

The engineering focus was clearance and control. The compact billet aluminum turret clears restrictive floor openings that trap larger shifters, while the close-ratio mechanism delivers short, precise throws. Belleville washers provide excellent detent feel - that crisp 2-3 shift feedback gearheads demand. Unlike designs with breakable stops, this shifter has no stops; the spring-loaded detent system eliminates failure points and makes servicing straightforward.

Positioning flexibility sets this shifter apart. The standard 7/8-inch on-center mounting accepts most aftermarket shift levers, so you can attach your preferred lever, boot, and shift knob. The high-temperature dust boot handles engine bay heat cycles without degrading. Precision machined and anodized for long life, proudly crafted 100% in the USA.

What's Included

• Billet aluminum Qwik Stik shifter assembly with anodized finish

Description

When you run an MDL front-shift T5 tail housing or convert a Mustang tail housing to front position using an MDL shift block, factory shifters put your hand in the wrong spot. The Qwik Stik Shifter solves this problem with a 1" or 1.5" forward offset that moves the stick back to factory-feel ergonomics while delivering short-throw performance.

Engineered specifically for MDL front-shift applications, the Qwik Stik uses a compact billet aluminum turret designed to clear tight floor openings where larger shifters won't fit. The close-ratio throw reduces shift travel for lightning-quick gear changes without sacrificing accuracy. Belleville washers create positive detent that locks each gear with authority, eliminating the vague feel of worn-out factory shifters.

The no-stops design is a key advantage: there are no plastic or metal stops to break or replace, and servicing the shifter is straightforward when needed. The 7/8" on-center mounting accepts most aftermarket shift levers, so you can finish the installation with your preferred lever, boot, and shift knob.

This shifter works exclusively with MDL MD-510-1001 front-shift T5 tail housings or any MDL front-position T5 transmission. It does not work with standard shift position tail housings. Made in the USA with lifetime technical support from MDL.

Description

MDL's front shift T5 tail housings move the shifter pivot point forward for better ergonomics in classic builds - but that custom location means stock shifters won't work. The Qwik Stik solves that problem with a purpose-built short-throw design engineered specifically for MDL front shift applications.

The close-ratio geometry reduces throw distance for faster, more precise gear changes. A smaller top turret clears tunnel shifter openings that would bind larger units, eliminating the need for floor modifications. Billet aluminum construction sheds weight compared to cast alternatives while providing superior rigidity for a direct, mechanical feel at the lever.

Belleville washers replace conventional detent springs, delivering a crisp 2-3 shift feel that won't degrade over time. The no-stops design means there are no plastic components to break or replace - and when servicing is eventually needed, the Belleville spring system allows quick disassembly. The 7/8-inch on-center stub mounting accepts most aftermarket shift levers, giving you flexibility in handle and knob selection.

This shifter is compatible exclusively with the MD-510-1001 front shift T5 tail shaft housing or any MDL front shift T5 front position transmission.

Description

Early Ford Flathead V8s delivered reliable power, but the original three-speed transmissions leave highway cruising potential on the table. This precision-engineered adapter solves that limitation by mating your 1949 Ford truck or 1949-50 Mercury car V8 Flathead to a 1983-93 Ford front shift T5 five-speed transmission, unlocking modern overdrive efficiency without compromising the period-correct character of your build.

The adapter addresses the fundamental challenge of bridging two different bellhousing eras. An integrated transmission sizing ring ensures proper concentricity between the adapter plate and T5 case, maintaining critical alignment for smooth clutch engagement and long bearing life. The zero-rotation clocking positions the shifter straight up, preserving the natural driving position expected in vintage applications. Whether your Flathead uses an early cast-in bell housing block or a later 8BA configuration with a separate bell, this adapter bolts directly to both using either the stamped or cast steel registration ring.

The release system receives a complete modernization with this kit. The updated mechanical throw-out bearing features self-centering design for consistent clutch release and continuous-duty construction that eliminates periodic adjustment. The no-grease pivot shaft design removes the maintenance burden of traditional fork pivots. This specific adapter includes a slotted-end cross shaft machined for the extended clutch release lever found on later Flathead linkage setups. If your application uses the earlier round-end lever release, see MD-401-2109-T5 instead.

Note: This adapter requires MDL 10-inch Flathead conversion clutches for proper engagement. Not compatible with S10 T5 transmissions due to different bolt patterns and case dimensions.

Description

Upgrade your shifter with this precision-engineered white 5-speed shift ball featuring the MDL logo. This isn't bargain-bin plastic - it's crafted from a specially formulated high-impact polymer resin developed specifically for automotive applications. The material resists stress cracking from temperature cycling and age, a common failure point in cheaper shift knobs that see years of daily use and abuse.

The 1-7/8" diameter provides optimal palm grip for aggressive shifting, while the 5-speed pattern graphics are permanently embedded below the polished surface where heat, UV exposure, and thousands of shifts can't touch them. The precision-machined brass master insert threads directly onto 16mm x 1.5mm shift levers, and with MDL's thread reducers, you can adapt this shift ball to virtually any metric or SAE threaded shifter - just know your shift lever's thread size when ordering so we can recommend the correct adapter.

At just 4 ounces, this shift ball reduces rotating mass compared to heavy solid alternatives, translating to slightly quicker shift action without sacrificing durability. The brass insert exceeds automotive industry specifications for 200 ft-lbs static pull and 20 ft-lbs twist torque resistance - it's not coming loose under hard use. Proudly made in the USA.

Description

Upgrading to a Lokar shift lever on your TREMEC-equipped build but don't want to give up your favorite shift knob? This thread reducing insert solves the compatibility problem. Lokar shifters use 3/8-24 threads at the top of the lever, while many OEM and aftermarket shift knobs--including popular universal 16mm-threaded styles--won't thread directly onto that pattern. This insert bridges the gap, letting you mate a 16mm-threaded knob to your new Lokar lever.

The insert threads into the internal 16mm threads of your shift knob, presenting external 3/8-24 threads that mate directly to the Lokar lever. The included jam nut cinches down against the lever to lock the assembly in place, preventing the knob from backing off during spirited driving or repeated shifting. It's a small piece of hardware that makes a big difference when you're mixing and matching components to get exactly the look and feel you want in your build.

This reducer is a common solution for classic Jeep CJ5, CJ6, CJ7, and CJ8 later models, as well as 1936-1946 and 1967-1972 Chevy truck builds where Lokar shifters are installed on TREMEC T5, T45, T56, TKO, or TKX transmissions. If you've got a knob you love and a Lokar lever on the way, this is the adapter you need.

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

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.

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.
