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 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

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.

Description

When you're mating a Ford Modular engine to a TREMEC transmission, the bellhousing is the critical link that determines whether your drivetrain operates with precision or suffers from alignment issues that accelerate wear on input shaft bearings, pilot bushings, and clutch components. This QuickTime bellhousing eliminates those problems with spun steel cone construction that delivers dimensional accuracy lesser housings simply cannot match.

Unlike stamped or rolled bellhousings that can flex under load and lose concentricity, QuickTime's proprietary spin-forming process produces a cone that work-hardens to over 80,000 PSI - more than twice the strength of other steel bellhousings. That strength-to-weight ratio allows QuickTime to deliver a 20-pound bellhousing that keeps your engine and transmission in perfect alignment throughout the entire RPM range. The result is reduced drivetrain wear, smoother clutch engagement, and improved power transfer.

This bellhousing connects 4.6L, 5.0L (Coyote), 5.4L, 5.8L, and 6.2L Ford Modular engines to Ford TKX, TKO 500-600, TR3550, and T5 Mustang transmissions. With 6.925 inches of depth, it clears 164-tooth flywheels paired with 11-inch clutches. The universal transmission bore (4.685/4.910 inches) ensures proper fit across the supported transmission range. Universal shifter fork brackets work with both diaphragm and cable-operated linkage.

QuickTime was founded by former race car driver Ross McCombs, who developed his own bellhousings to withstand the rigors of dirt track racing. That racing DNA shows in every detail - from the patent-pending 16-point design to the Grade 8 hardware included with every kit. For SFI-certified applications, see part numbers RM-6081 and RM-6082.

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 add significant rotational mass that slows engine acceleration and dulls throttle response. This lightened billet steel flywheel cuts weight to just 27 pounds, reducing the rotating assembly mass your engine has to spin. The result is faster revs, sharper throttle response, and quicker shifts—whether you're running through the gears on the street or chasing lap times at the track.

Machined from billet steel, this flywheel delivers the durability needed for repeated high-RPM use while significantly undercutting factory weight. The 8-bolt crank pattern ensures secure attachment to the crankshaft, and the 164-tooth ring gear maintains compatibility with factory starters. Zero-balance design means no external weights are required—it bolts directly to internally balanced Ford Modular and Coyote engines.

The dual clutch bolt pattern is a standout feature. Both 10.4" metric (8mm) and 11" metric (10mm) patterns are machined into the friction surface, giving you the flexibility to run virtually any aftermarket clutch setup. The small clutch valley design takes compatibility further, accommodating everything from street-friendly single-disk clutches to high-performance twin-disk racing units. Precision-machined alignment pins ensure the clutch disc centers properly during installation.

This flywheel fits 1996-1999 and 2000-up Mustang Cobra models, 1999-2000 Mustang GT, 2005-2010 Mustang GT 4.6L, and 2011-current 5.0L/5.2L Coyote and Roadrunner V8 applications. Proudly made in the USA.

Description

Converting your 1961-1966 Ford F-Series to a manual transmission or upgrading from factory mechanical linkage? The LF Series Hydraulic Clutch Master Kit solves the heavy pedal problem that plagues most aftermarket hydraulic conversions with an innovative approach to master cylinder mounting and linkage geometry.

The common approach uses a 3/4 or 7/8-inch bore by 1-inch stroke master cylinder connected directly to the pedal. This direct-connection setup requires raising the cylinder higher than the stock clutch rod linkage hole, creating interference issues with the firewall and pedal assembly. The short stroke ultimately delivers heavy pedal effort that defeats the purpose of hydraulic actuation. MDL's revolutionary linkage eliminates these problems by matching pedal travel with a long-stroke master cylinder while maintaining the stock pedal pivot point.

The 0.700-inch bore paired with a 1.4-inch stroke generates 0.539 cubic inches of fluid displacement per stroke--enough volume to properly actuate most aftermarket external or internal slave cylinders and hydraulic release bearings. The linkage design creates mechanical advantage for a lighter, more progressive pedal feel with full control of clutch engagement. The integral reservoir simplifies installation and keeps your firewall clean.

This kit requires factory components to be in good working order. Any modifications or damage to the firewall, pedal, or pedal hanger will affect master cylinder performance. Made in the USA.

Description

Converting your early Ford F-Series to hydraulic clutch actuation shouldn't mean sacrificing pedal feel or dealing with leg-crushing clutch effort. The MDL LF Series Master Cylinder Kit solves the fundamental problems that plague most hydraulic conversions: improper pedal pressure, firewall interference, and inadequate fluid volume for modern slave cylinders.

Traditional hydraulic conversions use oversized 3/4" or 7/8" bore cylinders with short 1" strokes, mounted directly to the pedal. This approach forces the master cylinder above the stock clutch rod hole, creating firewall clearance issues and requiring excessive pedal pressure. MDL's revolutionary linkage design changes everything. The innovative pedal linkage allows the 0.700" bore master cylinder to mount at the factory clutch rod location while providing mechanical advantage that dramatically reduces pedal effort. The linkage matches full pedal travel with the master cylinder's long 1.4" stroke, maximizing clutch modulation and generating 0.539 cubic inches of fluid volume - enough to support most aftermarket external slave cylinders and internal hydraulic release bearings.

The remote plastic reservoir mounts cleanly to the firewall, keeping fluid access convenient while eliminating clutter around the master cylinder. The firewall plate distributes loads evenly and keeps the cylinder perpendicular to the firewall for optimal performance. This system works seamlessly with stock or reproduction clutch pedals - the factory pivot point is preserved for familiar pedal feel.

Designed for 1961-1966 Ford F-Series trucks during T-5, TKX, TKO, or T-56 Magnum transmission swaps, or as an upgrade from existing mechanical clutch linkage. Requires factory pedal assembly and firewall to be in good working condition for proper operation. Uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.

Description

Converting your classic '61-'66 Ford F-Series truck to a modern manual transmission shouldn't mean fighting a heavy clutch pedal. The Light Foot Series Hydraulic Master Kit solves the most common problem with hydraulic conversions: excessive pedal effort caused by improper bore sizing and mounting geometry. The common approach uses oversized 3/4" or 7/8" bore by 1" stroke masters connected directly to the clutch pedal, creating punishing pedal loads and requiring elevated mounting points that interfere with firewall structure and pedal assemblies.

MDL's revolutionary linkage design matches pedal travel with a long-stroke master cylinder for dramatically reduced clutch pedal load. The precision-engineered linkage creates mechanical advantage while allowing the 0.700" bore, 1.4" stroke master to operate at optimal efficiency. This combination delivers significantly reduced pedal effort without sacrificing clutch feel or control precision. The system maintains your truck's original clutch rod hole location and pedal pivot point, preserving the factory pedal geometry you're accustomed to while adding modern hydraulic actuation.

The 0.700" bore master cylinder generates ample fluid volume to operate most aftermarket external slave cylinders and hydraulic release bearings found in TREMEC transmission swaps. The remote black billet aluminum reservoir mounts independently on the firewall, eliminating the bulk and complexity of integral reservoir designs while providing easy access for fluid level monitoring. The firewall-mounted linkage plate distributes operating loads across a larger area, reducing stress concentrations on original firewall metal.

Installation leverages existing factory mounting points, making this kit compatible with original pedal assemblies and quality OE reproduction aftermarket pedals. The system works seamlessly with T-5, TKX, and T-56 Magnum transmission conversions, as well as stock clutch applications requiring hydraulic actuation. Note: This kit relies on factory components being in good working order - any modifications or damage to the firewall, pedal, or pedal hanger will affect master cylinder performance.

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.

This kit is designed for 1961-1966 Ford F-Series trucks and works with original factory clutch pedals and quality OE reproduction assemblies. Note that proper function depends on factory components being in good working order--any modifications or damage to the firewall, pedal, or pedal hanger will affect master cylinder performance. Proudly made in the USA with lifetime technical support from MDL's drivetrain specialists.

Description

Converting your 1967-1972 Ford F-Series to hydraulic clutch actuation eliminates the slop, adjustment hassles, and inconsistent feel of worn mechanical linkage. The MDL LF Series Master Cylinder Kit delivers a complete bolt-on hydraulic retrofit engineered specifically for the structural limitations and space constraints of these classic trucks.

The core engineering challenge with '67-'72 F-Series trucks is the notoriously thin factory firewall sheet metal. Under clutch pedal load, that thin steel flexes - robbing you of consistent pedal feel and accelerating component wear. MDL's design solves this with a support bracket that spans from the firewall to the dash structure, creating a rigid mounting platform that eliminates flex and ensures consistent hydraulic pressure transfer every time you push the pedal.

The 0.700" bore paired with a 1.4" stroke generates 0.539 cubic inches of fluid volume per stroke - the sweet spot for modern aftermarket slave cylinders and hydraulic release bearings. This combination delivers smooth, light pedal effort while providing the fluid displacement needed for complete clutch release. The integral reservoir keeps brake fluid contained within the engine bay and eliminates the complexity and potential leak points of remote reservoir plumbing.

Direct pedal mounting preserves the stock pivot geometry, so the pedal feels familiar while optimizing the full stroke for maximum mechanical advantage. This kit requires factory firewall, pedal assembly, and pedal hanger to be in serviceable condition - any prior modifications or damage will affect master cylinder performance.

Description

Crown Vic front clip conversions deliver modern independent front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering to classic Ford F-Series trucks, but they create a significant challenge: the driveline now sits centered on the frame rather than offset like the factory setup. The OEM transmission crossmember wasn't designed for this geometry, leaving builders to fabricate solutions or compromise on driveline angles. This Stifflers tubular transmission crossmember solves that problem with a purpose-built design for 1948-1979 Ford F-1, F-100, and F-150 trucks running 34-inch wide frame rails with Crown Vic clip conversions.

The single tube construction offers far greater stiffness and strength than the stamped steel factory crossmember, eliminating flexing under power that causes driveline vibration and premature wear on U-joints and transmission mounts. Bolt-on mounting brackets provide complete adjustability over driveline height and angle without any welding or fabrication - critical when adapting modern transmissions to vintage chassis geometry. The custom adjustable transmission mount allows further fine-tuning to dial in the perfect transmission position for smooth, vibration-free operation.

Stifflers engineered this crossmember specifically for the centered driveline position that Crown Vic clip swaps create. Rather than trying to modify a Mustang crossmember or fabricate a one-off solution, you get a bolt-in piece that addresses the unique requirements of this popular conversion. The powder-coated finish protects against corrosion, and the entire design keeps weight to a minimum while delivering maximum strength.

This crossmember works with virtually any transmission you might install in your F-Series build, including AOD, AODE, 4R70W, C4, C6, T-5, T-45, T-56, TKO, 3550, 3560, TH350, TH400, and Powerglide units. Designed and manufactured in the USA by Stifflers Chassis & Suspension - a company founded by former IndyCar engineers who bring professional-level engineering to enthusiast suspension and drivetrain components.

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.

Shifter Boot | Ford Hi-Boy Truck | Twin-Stick Transfer Case

Key Features

• Hand-sewn construction using US-sourced automotive textured vinyl - not stiff marine vinyl
• Oil and sulfide resistant for long-term durability around drivetrain components
• Mildew resistant treatment prevents deterioration in moisture-prone floor areas
• Meets Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302 flammability requirements
• Stainless steel trim ring included for a finished, professional appearance
• Designed for twin-stick transfer case and transmission shifter configurations
• Compatible with TKX transmission swaps in Ford 4WD applications

Description

Ford Hi-Boy trucks present unique shifter challenges with their divorced transfer case configurations and twin-stick setups. The separate transmission and transfer case shifters require a boot that accommodates multiple openings while sealing properly against dust, moisture, and debris. Standard single-opening boots simply cannot handle the Hi-Boy layout - this purpose-built shifter boot solves that problem for transmission and twin-stick transfer case applications in Ford 4WD builds, including TKX transmission swaps.

The engineering focuses on durability where it matters most. Hand-sewn construction uses US-sourced high-quality automotive textured vinyl rather than the stiff, heavy marine vinyl that cracks and splits under hood heat and constant flexing. The material formulation resists oil contamination and sulfide exposure - critical when dealing with transmission fluid and exhaust gases that plague floor-mounted shifters in working trucks. Mildew resistance prevents the deterioration common in moisture-prone areas around the transfer case tunnel.

Safety compliance meets Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302 for flammability, a critical consideration for floor-mounted applications near the drivetrain. The included stainless steel trim ring provides both edge protection and a finished appearance that matches the utilitarian aesthetic Hi-Boy builders demand. Whether you are restoring a numbers-matching truck or modernizing with a TKX swap, this boot delivers the fit and durability the application requires.

Made in the USA with quality materials and hand-sewn craftsmanship - not a mass-produced overseas part that will deteriorate in a season.

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.

• 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)

• 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

• 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

• 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.
