Description

Heavy cast iron flywheels rob throttle response and make your engine feel sluggish. This lightened billet steel flywheel delivers the strength advantages of steel construction at a fraction of the rotating mass - just 26 pounds - so your engine revs quicker and responds faster to throttle inputs. Machined from billet steel for superior durability and consistency, it is designed for Ford 240, 250, and 300 cubic inch inline 6-cylinder engines as well as 351 Windsor V8s that require zero balance.

The 164 tooth ring gear configuration requires a matching 164 tooth bellhousing to properly position the starter for correct gear engagement. On Ford applications, the starter mounts directly to the bellhousing, making flywheel and bellhousing matching critical - a 157 tooth flywheel will not engage the starter in a 164 tooth bellhousing. This flywheel is purpose-built for internally balanced engines that do not require counterweight in the flywheel or harmonic balancer.

Versatile clutch compatibility comes from the dual bolt pattern, which accepts both 10.4" metric pressure plates with dowel pin locators and 11" long-style pressure plates. This flexibility lets you choose from a wide range of aftermarket clutch systems depending on your power level and driving style. The 6-bolt crankshaft pattern uses standard 7/16" bolts for secure mounting.

Proudly made in the USA, this flywheel combines weight savings with billet strength for street machines, performance builds, and weekend warriors who want snappier acceleration without sacrificing durability.

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.

• 6-bolt asymmetric crankshaft mounting ensures proper counterweight indexing
• 11" clutch bolt pattern compatible with Long style and BBCO pressure plates
• Precision-machined friction surface for consistent clutch engagement
• Made in the USA

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.

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.

The OEM-style connector is designed to mate securely with the blade terminals on these transmissions' reverse switches. No crimping random terminals, no heat-shrinking jury-rigged connections, no Mickey Mouse solutions that vibrate loose after a few hundred miles. Just a clean, reliable plug-in connection that restores reverse light functionality the way it should work.

This harness is specifically engineered for the reverse switch configuration shared by the TR4050, GM T5, T56/Viper T56, and 3650 transmissions. Important: This harness does NOT fit T56 Magnum or Magnum XL transmissions, which use a completely different switch design and connector. If you're running a Magnum, you'll need a Magnum-specific harness.

What's Included

• Reverse switch harness with 2-prong OEM-style connector

Key Features

• 100% synthetic ATF formulated for TREMEC manual transmissions requiring Dexron III specification
• Resists wear to valve body, gears, clutch plates and synchronizers in normal and severe service
• Friction modifiers promote fast, smooth clutch engagement and shudder-free shifts
• Thermally stable formulation resists heat-related breakdown, evaporation and viscosity loss

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)
