Description

When your Ford truck build demands a TKX with the shifter in the straight-up OE position, this MDL exclusive modification delivers exactly that. Standard TREMEC TKX shifter locations work great for many applications, but some builds -- particularly trucks with floor-mounted shifters or specific console clearances -- need the stub positioned differently. MDL solves this problem through careful machining and component integration that brings the shifter stub straight up with no offset, all while maintaining the TKX's legendary durability and shift quality.

The front mount tall body configuration provides additional shifter height, making this transmission ideal for truck installations where the standard shifter housing sits too low. MDL's engineering team hand-prepares each transmission, ensuring precise shifter positioning and flawless operation before it ships. This level of customization simply isn't available from TREMEC's standard catalog.

Built on TREMEC's proven TKX platform, this transmission delivers 600 lb-ft of torque capacity with engine speeds capable of 8,000 RPM and shifts at 7,500 RPM. The close-ratio gear set features a strong 2.87:1 first gear for confident launches and a deep 0.68:1 overdrive that drops highway RPM for relaxed cruising and improved fuel economy. Multi-cone synchronizers with hybrid carbon/bronze rings deliver superior shift quality at high RPM, while the ribbed 3-piece aluminum housing provides outstanding structural stiffness with reduced NVH. Tapered roller bearings on input, output, and countershafts combined with caged needle bearings on the mainshaft ensure long-term durability.

This Ford-pattern TKX requires a Ford Wide Pattern bellhousing and 26-spline clutch disc. The 0.670-inch pilot tip fits standard Ford applications. Both mechanical (7-tooth cable drive) and electronic (OSS two-wire analog sensor) speedometer outputs are included. Fill with 2.7 quarts of Dexron-III ATF, TREMEC HP-MTF, or Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF.

Description

When your truck build demands factory shifter positioning, standard TKX configurations fall short. MDL's modified TREMEC TKX solves the tall body shifter challenge with precision machining and custom component integration that brings the shifter stub up to the OE truck position. This isn't a bolt-on shifter - it's a completely reworked transmission with the tall body shifter housing integrated as part of the unit. Every modified TKX is hand-prepared at MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility to ensure quality and precision.

The TREMEC TKX represents the next generation in 5-speed design with its compact end-loading architecture. This layout delivers greater tunnel clearance, increased case strength from the ribbed three-piece aluminum housing, and fewer case seams with gaskets at all mating surfaces to eliminate fluid leaks. The slim profile fits most transmission tunnels without floor modifications while the robust internal design handles serious power.

Shifting performance comes from multi-cone synchronizers and sintered carbon/bronze hybrid synchronizer rings with a non-leading tooth profile - enabling smooth, positive engagement even at 7,500 RPM. Tapered roller bearings on the input, output, and countershafts reduce noise and improve performance, while a caged needle bearing supports the mainshaft. The single-piece countershaft and oversized gear widths increase torque-carrying capacity across all gears.

The Ford Wide Pattern bellhousing interface provides broad compatibility with Ford applications. Both mechanical (7-tooth cable drive) and electronic (OSS two-wire analog) speedometer outputs are built in, along with a reverse light switch on the left side and cruise control safety switch on the right. MDL extends TREMEC's manufacturer warranty by an extra year with a 1-year grace period and includes lifetime technical support.

Description

When track time demands maximum shifter precision and your Ford build needs the most aggressive shift position possible, this MDL-modified TKX delivers road race-ready performance in an exclusive configuration you cannot buy from TREMEC. The tall body shifter mounts in the furthest forward position on the case with zero offset on the shift stub, placing the shift lever exactly where a road racer needs it during hard cornering and aggressive downshifts.

The TKX platform represents TREMEC's ground-up redesign of the five-speed manual for the aftermarket. Its end-loading three-piece aluminum case reduces overall height and width compared to the TKO it replaces, eliminating tunnel modifications in many classic applications while increasing structural rigidity. The close-ratio gear set opens with a 2.87 first gear to keep the engine in its powerband through technical sections, while the 0.68 overdrive delivers highway cruising capability for track day drives. Multi-cone synchronizers with sintered carbon/bronze hybrid rings and double-lined carbon-fiber facings enable clean, positive shifts at 7,500 RPM - a major improvement over older five-speeds.

TREMEC engineered the TKX with special gate chamfers and ball detents on all three shift rails for improved shift quality with reduced notchiness. All gears and shafts are manufactured from ASTM 4615 special-grade steel with oversized gear widths for maximum durability. Tapered roller bearings on the input, output, and countershafts reduce noise while caged needle bearings support all gear positions. The internal three-rail shift system with steel shift forks keeps all linkage lubricated and protected.

This Ford-pattern TKX bolts directly to Toploader-style bellhousings and shares crossmember mounting points with TKO transmissions for straightforward swaps. The 31-spline output shaft accepts Ford C6-style slip yokes with 1310, 1330, or 1350 U-joints. Both mechanical and electronic speedometer outputs are built in. Short input shaft kits are available separately for applications using original four-speed bellhousings.

Description

Adding a modern overdrive transmission behind your Ford FE big block means solving the bellhousing puzzle - and cheap adapters just create new problems. The QuickTime RM-6056 delivers the dimensional precision that keeps your drivetrain aligned and your clutch releasing cleanly, whether you're bolting up a TKO, TKX, T5 Mustang, or TR3550 behind your 352, 360, 390, 427, or 428 FE.

QuickTime's proprietary spin-forming process creates a fundamentally different bellhousing than competitors. Where others stamp or roll their cones - introducing distortion and stress risers - QuickTime spins theirs from high-grade steel that work-hardens to over 80,000 PSI. That's more than twice the strength of conventional steel bellhousings. The result is a cone that maintains perfect dimensional stability through the entire RPM range, eliminating the flex that causes accelerated input bearing wear, pilot bushing failure, and power loss.

The RM-6056 features a 7.05-inch bellhousing depth paired with a universal transmission bore that accepts Ford T5, TKO500/600, TKX, and TR3550 input bearing retainers. It handles up to a 184-tooth flywheel with a 12-inch clutch and works with both Ford OE mechanical fork linkage and hydraulic throwout bearing systems. This is a universal-fit bellhousing, not vehicle-specific, making it the go-to solution for FE swaps and custom builds where factory pieces don't exist.

Note: This bellhousing is NOT SFI 6.1 certified. Many sanctioning bodies require SFI certification for cars running 11.49 or faster in the quarter mile - if that's your application, look for the RM-6056SFI. Founded by former dirt track racer Ross McCombs, QuickTime earned their reputation building bellhousings tough enough for racing abuse. Every RM-6056 is manufactured in the United States.

Overview

Bolting a modern TREMEC 5-speed behind a classic Ford FE big block demands a bellhousing that won't compromise alignment under high-RPM loads. The QuickTime RM-6056SFI delivers SFI 6.1 certification for sanctioned competition while providing the dimensional accuracy that keeps your drivetrain aligned from idle to redline.

What separates QuickTime from conventional steel bellhousings is their exclusive spin-forming process. Rather than rolling or stamping the cone - processes that introduce stress risers and dimensional inconsistencies - QuickTime spins each cone from high-grade steel. This spin-forming process work-hardens the material to over 80,000 PSI tensile strength, delivering more than twice the strength of other steel bellhousings while maintaining the dimensional stability that prevents binding and premature drivetrain wear.

The RM-6056SFI bridges Ford FE engines (352, 360, 390, 427, 428, and 410 Mercury) to Ford-pattern TREMEC transmissions including the T5, TKO-500, TKO-600, TKX, and TR-3550. The dual transmission bore diameter (4.850-inch/4.910-inch) ensures proper fit across these applications. This bellhousing requires a 184-tooth flywheel and accommodates clutch discs up to 12 inches in diameter. Clutch release is your choice - the design accepts mechanical linkage, cable actuation, or hydraulic slave cylinder setups.

QuickTime holds patents on 16 points of bellhousing design and manufacturing process, developed with input from OEMs, engine builders, transmission builders, and racers. When you need the strength for serious horsepower and the precision to protect your investment, this is the bellhousing that delivers. Made 100% in the USA.

Description

When upgrading to a TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission, factory T5 transmission-to-bellhousing bolts are incompatible with TKX applications. This hardware kit provides the correct bolt lengths and grade specifically engineered for steel bellhousing installations on Ford applications. Steel bellhousings require different bolt lengths than aluminum bellhousing kits - using the wrong hardware can result in improper engagement, case damage, or unsafe mounting conditions.

This MDL hardware kit solves the sourcing headache by providing the exact fasteners needed for your steel bellhousing installation. The Grade 8 bolts deliver the clamping force necessary to handle the TKX's 600 lb-ft torque capacity, while hardened washers ensure even load distribution across the bellhousing mounting flange. Proper hardware is critical - never use transmission-to-bellhousing bolts to draw or pull the transmission up to the bellhousing, as damage to the pilot bearing and transmission case ears may result.

This kit is designed for use with popular steel scatter shields including QuickTime and Lakewood bellhousings for Ford small block applications paired with the TKX transmission. When installing, ensure the transmission is fully seated by hand against the bellhousing before torquing fasteners to specification. Made in the USA with lifetime tech support from MDL.

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

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

Key Features

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

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

Description

Ford's 385-series big blocks--the 429 and 460--were designed as luxury-car torque monsters, but builders have been putting manual transmissions behind them for decades. The challenge? Finding a clutch that can handle serious torque without requiring a leg press workout at every stoplight. This Superior Series Big Block Change Over clutch kit delivers 650 ft-lbs of torque capacity through an 11.5" long pattern diaphragm pressure plate, giving you the clamping force needed for high-power street and strip duty while keeping pedal effort manageable in hydraulic release setups.

The hybrid friction material strategy is engineered for optimal performance and longevity. Kevlar on the pressure plate side handles initial engagement heat and provides excellent fade resistance under hard use, while the steel-backed Metallic facing on the flywheel side delivers aggressive engagement for extreme duty applications. This combination gives you the best of both worlds--aggressive holding power when you need it, civilized behavior when you don't. The profiled clutch fingers ensure even pressure distribution across the entire friction surface.

Every MDL Superior clutch disk is hand-assembled in-house to exacting tolerances. Double-riveted construction ensures the facings stay put under repeated high-load cycles, and each assembly is inspected before it goes in the box. The 26-spline x 1-1/8" sprung hub provides proper damping and matches common Ford performance transmission input shafts.

Description

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

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

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

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

• Made in the USA with ARP's aerospace-grade quality standards

Description

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

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

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

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

Description

Converting your '61-'66 Ford F-Series to modern hydraulic clutch actuation typically means fighting heavy pedal pressure and firewall interference. Traditional hydraulic conversions bolt a 3/4" or 7/8" bore master cylinder directly to the pedal with a short 1" stroke--this creates excessive pedal effort, requires mounting the cylinder higher than the stock clutch rod hole, and causes interference with the firewall and pedal assembly. The LF Series solves all of these problems with a precision-engineered linkage system that transforms how hydraulic clutch actuation works in your classic truck.

The engineering breakthrough is MDL's mechanical pedal linkage. Instead of mounting the master cylinder directly to the pedal, this linkage creates leverage that matches pedal travel with the master cylinder's long 1.4" stroke. The result is dramatically reduced pedal effort while using the stock clutch rod hole location. The 0.700" bore paired with that long stroke generates sufficient fluid volume to actuate most aftermarket external slave cylinders and internal hydraulic release bearings without requiring excessive pedal travel.

The remote silver billet aluminum reservoir mounts separately on the firewall, eliminating the bulk of integral reservoir designs and providing a clean, professional installation. The system uses standard DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid and includes MDL's exclusive One-Man-Bleeder kit for straightforward bleeding without a helper. If your clutch pedal bottoms out or feels spongy, check the master cylinder throw distance (should be 1.4") and adjust the clevis and pedal height as needed.

Description

External slave cylinders create clearance headaches and bellhousing compatibility issues that derail Ford TKO and TKX swaps. The Tilton 6000 Series Hydraulic Release Bearing eliminates those problems entirely. This internal hydraulic design slips directly over the transmission's bearing retainer - no machining, no adapter plates, no fighting for space. The result is a clean installation that works with most bellhousings, including original 4-speed and big block bells that external slaves can't accommodate.

Tilton builds this bearing to race-proven standards. The billet aluminum body and piston are precision-machined in-house at Tilton Engineering, then fitted with a high-temperature mono-seal that incorporates a quad tensioner to maintain proper seal tension under extreme conditions. The constant contact design keeps the bearing face against the pressure plate fingers at all times - no gap to manage, no adjustment as the clutch wears. Pedal feel stays consistent from fresh install through the clutch's entire service life.

The stainless steel threaded adjustment sleeve delivers nearly 1.25" of height adjustability, accommodating bearing heights from 1.77" to 3.00" to work with a wide range of clutch configurations. The flat face bearing design with 1.71" to 3.03" contact diameter is engineered for 8.5" to 11" bent-finger and lever-type pressure plates. With 0.7" of piston travel, this bearing handles aggressive clutch setups without running out of stroke.

Compatible with Ford TKO and TKX transmissions with 1.430" bearing retainer guide tube diameter. Will not work with big-input Toploaders. For a complete hydraulic clutch system, pair with an MDL LF Series Master Clutch Kit and a steel braided line of appropriate length (24" recommended for most applications).

Description

Factory plastic clutch lines deteriorate under heat and age, leading to spongy pedal feel and inconsistent clutch engagement. This premium stainless steel braided hydraulic line eliminates that weak link with high-strength construction rated for racing and high-heat applications. The Teflon inner lining delivers chemical compatibility with all brake fluids while providing smooth, unrestricted fluid flow that translates directly to crisp pedal response.

The stainless steel braid resists expansion under pressure—a critical factor in hydraulic clutch performance. Unlike rubber lines that balloon slightly under load, braided stainless maintains consistent internal volume for immediate, predictable clutch actuation. The clear plastic outer coating shields the braid from road debris and corrosion while preserving the polished stainless appearance gearheads expect in a quality engine bay.

This is the same 30-inch hydraulic line included in MDL's LF Series slave cylinder kits, proven across thousands of transmission swaps from mild street builds to extreme-duty track cars. Straight -4AN female fittings on both ends provide universal compatibility with hydraulic clutch systems, master cylinders, and slave cylinders across Ford, GM, and Mopar applications.

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 iconic Hurst name stamped directly into the lever identifies this as genuine Hurst equipment - not an imitation. The robust construction handles the forces of aggressive power shifting without flex or fatigue.

Description

When you're swapping a modern TREMEC TR4050 5-speed into your '73-'79 Ford truck or late '70s Bronco, shifter placement matters. Factory shift location keeps the cab ergonomics familiar and eliminates the need for console modifications or awkward reach. This MDL Steel Shift Lever delivers the precise 19-inch geometry needed to position your shift knob exactly where the original shifter sat while mating cleanly to the TR4050's shifter housing.

Steel construction handles the rigors of daily driving and heavy use without flexing or fatigue. The black powder coat finish resists corrosion and wear, standing up to harsh truck environments where mud, moisture, and temperature swings are part of the job. Unlike painted or plated finishes that chip and peel, powder coat bonds to the steel for long-term durability.

The 3/8"-24 threaded tip is the most common shift knob thread in the aftermarket, giving you complete flexibility to choose the knob that fits your hand and style. Mounting point holes are machined 7/8" on center to match TR4050 shifter housing specifications, ensuring smooth operation through all five gears plus reverse without binding or misalignment.

Direct-fit for 1973-1979 Ford F-Series pickups and 1978-1979 Ford Bronco with TR4050 transmission conversions. Made in the USA.

Description

Factory plastic shift levers flex under aggressive shifting and detract from the precise mechanical feel a performance transmission deserves.

• 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.

Description

Dead speedometers and inaccurate odometers almost always trace back to one failure point: the speedometer cable. When the inner cable breaks, binds, or wears out, your dash becomes useless for monitoring speed and mileage. This 83" speedometer cable delivers the exact length and connection type your 1965-1968 Mustang needs for proper Ford Toploader 4-speed interface.

The 5/8" screw-type connection threads directly into the Toploader's speedometer drive housing on the passenger side - exactly as Ford designed it. Mustang Toploaders feature the speedometer gear access hole on the passenger side of the transmission, and this cable is engineered specifically for that configuration. The driven gear mounts on the end of the cable and inserts into the transmission, where the drive gear on the output shaft spins it to turn your speedometer.

Unlike generic 80" cables that require awkward routing and extra securing points under the car, this 83" cable provides the correct length for clean, factory-style installation. The routing follows the passenger side of the transmission tunnel, maintaining appropriate bend radii that prevent binding and ensure smooth speedometer operation. When paired with the correct driven gear for your rear axle ratio and tire size, this cable restores accurate speed and mileage readings to your Mustang's instrument cluster.

Engineered specifically for Ford Toploader 4-speed transmissions in 1965-1968 Mustang applications. Direct replacement for original equipment cables that have failed due to age, wear, or damage. OEM style for mechanical gauges.

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

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.

• 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)

• 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

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

This Neapco 31-spline forged steel slip yoke delivers the strength and precision fit required for Ford TKO, C6, and FMX transmissions, providing a direct-fit solution for street performance builds.

Forged steel construction eliminates the porosity and stress risers inherent in cast yokes. The result is a stronger, more consistent part that handles torque loads without cracking or deformation. The 1310 Series U-joint is rated for 400 lb-ft of continuous torque and 800 lb-ft short-duration loads--making this combination well-suited for street-driven cars producing up to approximately 500 hp, provided traction is managed with street tires rather than slicks.

Neapco's precision broaching process produces tight-tolerance spline fits that mate smoothly with the transmission output shaft. This accuracy, combined with reduced end play in the universal joint, minimizes driveline vibration and extends component life. The outside snap ring design allows for straightforward U-joint service when maintenance is eventually needed.

This slip yoke fits Ford transmissions with 31-spline output shafts, including the Ford TKO, C6 automatic, and FMX automatic. If your application requires higher torque capacity, consider upgrading to a 1330 or 1350 Series yoke and matching driveshaft components.

Description

Converting to a TREMEC TKX, TKO, or Magnum often means your factory slip yoke is no longer up to the task. The increased torque from a modern 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission demands a properly matched slip yoke that can handle the load without becoming a weak link in your driveline. This 31-spline slip yoke solves that problem with the proven 1330 series dimensions and D550 ductile iron construction.

The forged steel construction provides the tensile strength needed for high-torque applications while maintaining the precise tolerances required for smooth, vibration-free operation. The 1330 series u-joint dimensions - 3-5/8" overall width with 1-1/16" bearing caps - deliver more driveline angle capability than the smaller 1310 series while keeping overall packaging compact. Outside snap rings secure the u-joint caps, making future service straightforward without specialized tools.

The 31-spline internal configuration directly matches the output shaft splines on TREMEC TKX, TKO, and Magnum transmissions, as well as some T56 variants, Ford C6 automatics, and FMX transmissions. Built by Neapco to OEM standards, this slip yoke bridges the gap between your transmission upgrade and your existing driveshaft, accepting standard 1330-series u-joints for flexibility in choosing greaseable or sealed units based on your application.

Description

Converting to a TREMEC TKX or T56 Magnum often means driveline modifications are in order -- including upgrading to an aftermarket slip yoke that can handle the torque output of a modern 5 or 6-speed manual transmission. This Sonnax forged steel slip yoke delivers the strength and precision your high-performance drivetrain demands, engineered to never be the weak link between your transmission and driveshaft.

Sonnax slip yokes are forged -- not cast -- for greater strength, then undergo a precision-machining process that guarantees exceptional balance and minimal runout. Clean-cut splines mate smoothly with the transmission output shaft, while all dimensions are precision machined to ensure a consistent, concentric fit. The smooth outer journal provides uniform contact with the tail housing seal, preventing leaks and promoting proper fore/aft yoke action during suspension travel.

Every yoke is 100 percent leak-tested, with the seal plug O.D. ground for superior sealing performance and air-tested to 40 PSI. This attention to detail eliminates common comeback complaints like transmission leaks, NVH issues, and driveline clunking or shudder. Whether you're building a street car, street rod, drag machine, or dirt oval racer, this slip yoke delivers superior strength and durability for high horsepower and torque capacity applications.

This 31-spline slip yoke fits a variety of applications including TREMEC TKO-500, TKO-600, TKX, T56 Magnum, Ford C6, and FMX transmissions, as well as some T56 units. Always verify your transmission's output shaft spline count and style before ordering. Made in the USA.

• Accepts 1330 series U-joints with 1-1/16" bearing cups (U-joint sold separately)
• Lifetime MDL technical support

Key Features

• 31-spline output shaft compatibility for all TREMEC TKO, TKX, and Magnum transmissions
• 1350 series U-joint capacity with 1-3/16" cap diameter and 3.625" overall width
• Cast steel construction for strength under high-torque loads
• Ford C6-style slip yoke design matches TREMEC 31-spline output shaft diameter
• Direct upgrade from smaller 1310 series yokes found in many stock applications

Description

Upgrading to a TREMEC transmission puts serious torque capacity in your drivetrain, but your existing slip yoke often becomes the weak link. TREMEC TKO, TKX, and Magnum transmissions all feature a 31-spline output shaft that requires a matching slip yoke to handle the increased power these transmissions deliver. This MDL slip yoke solves that problem with cast steel construction and 1350 series U-joint capacity.

The 31-spline output shaft on TREMEC performance transmissions uses the same diameter as Ford C6 automatics—a proven design that has been handling serious torque for decades. The 1350 series U-joint provides a 1-3/16" cap diameter and 3.625" overall width, delivering significantly more strength than the smaller 1310 series joints found in many factory drivelines. When you're pushing 600 lb-ft of torque capacity through a TKO or TKX, you need driveline components that can keep up.

This slip yoke is designed for Ford applications but works with any TREMEC transmission featuring the standard 31-spline output shaft, including the TKO-500, TKO-600, TKX, and T56 Magnum. Whether you're building a street machine that sees weekend abuse or a dedicated track car, this yoke provides the strength and reliability your upgraded drivetrain demands.

What's Included

• 31-spline cast steel slip yoke
• 1350 series U-joint (1-3/16" bearing caps, 3.625" width)

Key Features

• Forged chromoly construction delivers superior strength over cast factory yokes
• 31-spline configuration fits TREMEC TKX, TKO-500, TKO-600, T56 Magnum, plus Ford C6 and FMX automatics
• 1350 series U-joint with 1-3/16" caps handles higher torque loads than 1330 series
• Precision-machined for exceptional balance and minimal runout
• 100% leak-tested and air-tested to 40 psi for optimum sealing
• O.D. ground seal journal ensures uniform contact and prevents leaks
• 6.440" centerline-to-end length with 1.685" barrel diameter
• Outside snap ring style U-joint retention

Description

Converting to a modern TREMEC transmission demands a slip yoke that won't become the weak link in your drivetrain. Factory cast yokes are prone to spline twisting and failure under the torque output of high-performance engines. This Sonnax forged chromoly slip yoke is engineered to handle serious power without compromise, making it the go-to upgrade for street, strip, and track applications.

Sonnax slip yokes are forged, not cast, for greater strength, and they undergo a precision-machining process to guarantee exceptional balance and minimal runout. The 1350 series U-joint capability provides a significant strength upgrade over 1330 applications--crucial for builds pushing serious horsepower. With a 3-5/8" U-joint width and 1-3/16" caps, the 1350 series delivers the torque capacity needed for modern high-output engines.

Every yoke is 100% leak-tested with the seal plug O.D. ground for superior seal, then air-tested to 40 psi to ensure optimum sealing. The smooth outer journal ensures uniform contact with the transmission seal, preventing leaks while promoting proper slip action during suspension travel. This attention to detail eliminates the fluid weeping common with lesser yokes.

This 31-spline configuration directly fits TREMEC TKX, TKO-500, TKO-600, and T56 Magnum transmissions, as well as Ford C6 and FMX automatics, Ford Toploader 4-speeds, and ZF 5-speed transmissions. Whether you're building a restomod, pro-touring car, or weekend warrior, this Sonnax slip yoke delivers the strength and durability your drivetrain demands.
