Description

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

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

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

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

Description

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

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

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

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

Description

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

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

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

What's Included

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

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

• Correct metric thread fasteners for T5 transmission-to-bellhousing attachment
• Specifically configured bolt lengths and grades for steel bellhousing installations
• Eliminates hardware-hunting when assembling your T5 swap
• Designed by MDL for proper Ford drivetrain fitment

Description

Sourcing the right fasteners for a Ford T5 installation can bring your project to a halt. T5 transmissions use metric threaded bellhousing bolts, which differ from the SAE threading used elsewhere in the Ford drivetrain. Grab the wrong hardware off the shelf and you risk cross-threading, loose connections, or inadequate clamping force under load.

This MDL install hardware kit is purpose-built for Ford front shift T5 installations using steel bellhousings or adapter plates. The included fasteners provide the correct metric thread pitch and appropriate lengths for secure transmission-to-bellhousing mounting. Each component is selected to deliver proper torque retention with steel bellhousing assemblies.

The difference between MDL's aluminum (AL) and steel (ST) hardware kits comes down to bellhousing bolt configuration. Aluminum bellhousings often ship with manufacturer-supplied fasteners or require different bolt lengths, so those kits are adjusted accordingly. This ST kit includes the correct hardware for steel bellhousing and adapter plate setups where the fasteners are not provided by the bellhousing manufacturer.

Stop digging through parts bins and hardware store drawers. This kit puts all the right fasteners in one bag so you can bolt up your T5 and move on to the next phase of your build.

Description

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

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

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

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

Kit Includes

• Cast iron flywheel with 157-tooth ring gear and dual clutch pattern (10" long / 10.4" metric)
• Pre-installed metric alignment pins for 10.4" clutch pattern
• Clutch alignment pins

Key Features

• Cast iron construction for durability and heat dissipation in street applications
• 157-tooth ring gear for proper starter engagement with small-block Ford bellhousings

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

Description

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

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

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

Kit Includes

• Cast iron flywheel with 157-tooth ring gear and 50oz counterweight
• Clutch alignment pins for 10.4" metric pressure plate installation

Description

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

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

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

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

Kit Includes

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

Key Features

• Lighten billet steel construction resists stress cracking and handles higher RPM loads than cast iron

Overview

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

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

Dual clutch bolt patterns machined into the friction surface eliminate fitment guesswork, accepting both 10" and 10.5" pressure plates.

Description

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

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

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

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

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

• Lightened billet steel flywheel with 157-tooth ring gear

Description

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

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

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

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

• Made in the USA

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

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

Key Features

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

• 50oz external counterweight matches factory balance on 1981-1995 Ford 5.0L HO engines
• 19 lb total weight - reduces rotating mass versus stock cast iron flywheels
• Six-bolt crankshaft mounting pattern for direct replacement installation
• 10.4" metric clutch bolt pattern with alignment pins
• Made in the USA

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

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

Description

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 '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.

Description

Worn shift balls with faded graphics look cheap and undermine an otherwise clean build. This MDL 5-Speed Black Shift Ball solves that problem with subsurface graphics that are embedded below the polished surface - they physically cannot wear off, fade, or chip regardless of how many miles you put on the car or how aggressively you shift.

The ball is constructed from a specially formulated high-impact polymer resin developed specifically for automotive applications. Unlike generic plastics that crack and degrade with age and temperature cycling, this formulation resists stress cracking even after years of exposure to heat, cold, and UV light. At 4 ounces, the weight is calibrated to provide positive shift engagement without the excessive mass that can stress synchronizers or create unwanted momentum during quick shifts.

Inside, a brass or aluminum master insert provides the threaded mounting point and exceeds automotive industry specifications - tested to withstand 200 ft. lbs. of static pull force and 20 ft. lbs. of twist torque. The 3/8"-16 internal threading fits most domestic shifter applications, and MDL stocks thread adapters for virtually any shifter setup if your lever uses a different thread pitch. Each ball is precision machined and polished to a high-gloss finish that looks as good as it feels.

Made in the USA by a manufacturer that has been producing precision shift components since 1952, this shift ball delivers the quality and attention to detail that serious builds demand. Whether you are finishing a classic muscle car, a restomod, or a modern performance machine, the MDL logo and 5-speed pattern tell everyone you built it right.

• Made in the USA

Description

The shift knob is your primary connection point to the drivetrain during every gear change. This white 5-speed shift ball delivers the durability and feel you need with high-impact polymer resin specifically formulated for automotive applications. Unlike generic plastics that develop stress cracks over time from temperature cycling and repeated use, this material is engineered to handle real-world performance conditions.

The 1-7/8" diameter provides excellent grip surface and comfortable palm contact. The 5-speed shift pattern is applied subsurface, meaning the graphics are embedded within the material rather than printed on top -- they physically cannot wear off from years of shifting. The entire ball is precision machined and polished to a high-gloss finish that resists scratching and cleans easily.

At the core is a brass master insert machined to 16mm x 1.50 threading. This insert is tested to exceed automotive industry specifications: 200 ft-lbs of static pull and 20 ft-lbs of twist torque. Because the knob uses the common 16mm x 1.50 master insert, it accepts MDL's complete line of thread reducing inserts -- so you can adapt it to fit 3/8"-16, 3/8"-24, 5/16"-18, 12mm x 1.75, 10mm x 1.50, and other common shift lever thread sizes. If your shifter doesn't use 16mm x 1.50 threading, just add the appropriate reducer to make it work.

Weighing 4 ounces, this knob provides enough mass for positive shifting feedback without the excessive weight that can stress shift mechanisms or cause gear selection issues. Made in the USA with automotive-grade materials and quality craftsmanship.

Description

Slamming into reverse at speed is a quick way to grenade a gearbox. This 5-speed shift ball eliminates that risk with an integrated side-mounted push button lockout that requires deliberate activation before reverse can be selected. The button includes wiring for connection to various shifter configurations that utilize electronic or mechanical reverse lockout functionality.

The ball itself is built from specially formulated high-impact polymer resin designed specifically for the automotive industry. Unlike cheap plastic knobs that crack under stress or go chalky from heat cycles, this material resists stress cracking with age while handling the torque and temperature swings of hard driving. The 1-7/8" diameter provides solid palm contact for confident shifting, and the polished white finish cleans up easily.

Mounting uses a 16mm x 1.50 brass master insert with an included brass jam nut. This thread size is common on 1982-2002 Camaro and Firebird shifters, Pontiac Fiero applications, and various aftermarket shifters. For other thread sizes, pair this shift ball with MDL thread reducers to adapt down to your specific shifter requirements.

Made in the USA from a manufacturer that has been producing quality shift knobs for decades.

This 5-speed black shift ball puts a side-mounted momentary push button exactly where your thumb naturally rests, giving you instant access to nitrous activation, line lock, or other electrical accessories without fumbling for a dashboard switch or console button.

The side-mount placement is intentional: unlike top-mounted buttons that can be accidentally triggered during aggressive shifts, this configuration requires deliberate engagement. The included 18" wire harness gives you plenty of length to route to your relay or control module, with terminals ready for connection. Whether you're staging at the strip or wiring in a secondary system, the button is right there when you need it.

Built from black polymer resin, this 2-1/8" diameter shift ball delivers comfortable ergonomics for extended driving sessions while standing up to the abuse of street and track duty. The 16mm x 1.5 threads are the industry-standard size for shift knob adapters, which means you can pair this ball with MDL's thread reducing inserts to fit virtually any shift lever thread pitch -- from 3/8"-16 to 5/16"-18 and beyond.

Description

Factory shift knobs rarely deliver the grip, weight, or aesthetics that a performance build deserves. This MDL 5-Speed Black Aluminum Shift Ball solves that problem with a 2-1/8 inch diameter that fills the palm for confident, positive shifts and a brushed black aluminum finish that looks at home in any performance-oriented cockpit.

The 16mm x 1.5 internal thread is engineered to work with MDL's line of thread reducer inserts, giving you the flexibility to mount this shift ball on virtually any shifter handle. Thread reducers are available in both SAE sizes (3/8-16, 3/8-24) and metric sizes (8mm-1.25, 9mm-1.25, 12mm-1.75) to accommodate Hurst, Lokar, TREMEC, and other popular shifter configurations. This universal approach means one shift ball works across multiple builds and applications.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum, this shift ball reduces rotating mass compared to heavier steel or weighted knobs - a deliberate choice for drivers who prioritize quick, precise shifts over added heft. The brushed aluminum base with black finish provides durability and corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean appearance that won't fade or chip under heavy use.

Note: This shift ball requires a separate thread reducer insert and jam nut (sold separately) to properly mount to your shifter handle. Check MDL's selection of thread reducers to find the correct adapter for your specific shifter lever thread size.

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.

Shoulder Bolt Kit | Hurst Levers on Stock T5 Shifters

Key Features

• Precision shoulder design eliminates slop and looseness in lever-to-shifter connection
• Eliminates the need to over-tighten mounting bolts, preventing thread damage
• Lock washers included to prevent loosening under vibration
• Sold as a pair - complete hardware for one installation
• Direct fit for mounting Hurst shift levers to stock T5 shifter assemblies

Description

Standard bolts create a frustrating problem when mounting Hurst shift levers to stock T5 shifters: slop and play in the connection that only gets worse over time. The typical fix - cranking down harder on the bolts - risks stripping threads and damaging shifter components. This shoulder bolt kit solves the problem the right way.

The precision shoulder on each bolt creates a positive mechanical stop that takes up the clearance between the lever and shifter body. This eliminates the looseness that plagues standard bolt-through installations without requiring excessive torque. The included lock washers maintain proper preload and resist vibration-induced loosening through thousands of shift cycles.

Designed specifically for mounting Hurst bolt-on shift levers (with 3/8-inch bolt holes on 7/8-inch centers) to stock T5 shifter assemblies. If you're upgrading to a Hurst lever on your stock T5 shifter and want tight, precise shifts without the slop, this is the hardware that makes it happen.

• OEM-style construction - maintains period-correct appearance and function for mechanical speedometers
• Direct replacement fitment - eliminates speedometer inaccuracy from worn or damaged cables

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.

• Precision-molded construction for smooth, reliable operation

Description

When you swap to a 5- or 6-speed transmission, your original speedometer gear won't work with the new final drive ratio, throwing off your speedometer readings. This 16-tooth driven gear provides the correct gear ratio match to restore accurate speedometer operation in Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum applications.

Selecting the correct driven gear depends on your rear axle ratio and tire diameter. The wine-colored housing provides instant visual confirmation of the 16-tooth count during installation and future service, eliminating guesswork when fine-tuning your speedometer calibration. Each tooth change adjusts the speedometer reading approximately 4-5 mph, so selecting the right gear for your combination is critical.

This is the correct driven gear for all Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions. Whether you're building a street machine that sees daily driving or a weekend cruiser that needs reliable instrumentation, this precision-molded gear delivers smooth, accurate speedometer operation mile after mile.

What's Included

• 16-tooth speedometer driven gear with wine-colored housing

Key Features

• 17-tooth driven gear with white color coding for easy identification
• Direct fit for Ford TREMEC transmissions: T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum
• Precision-molded plastic construction for smooth, quiet operation
• Lower tooth count for higher axle ratios and/or taller tires
• Works with cable-driven mechanical speedometer systems

Description

Swapping to a 5 or 6-speed TREMEC transmission changes your final drive ratio, which means your factory speedometer gear combination no longer reads accurately. This 17-tooth white driven gear lets you recalibrate your mechanical speedometer to match your new drivetrain setup.

Speedometer driven gear selection depends on four variables: drive gear tooth count (on the output shaft), driven gear tooth count, tire diameter, and axle ratio. The 17-tooth count is typically paired with lower-numerical axle ratios or taller tires. Use a speedometer gear calculator to determine the correct tooth count for your specific combination of drive gear, rear end ratio, and tire height.

The white color coding makes this gear instantly identifiable, both in your parts bin and during installation. This precision-molded plastic gear meshes smoothly with the transmission's output shaft drive gear, delivering reliable operation without the noise or wear issues that can plague poorly-manufactured replacements.

This driven gear fits all Ford TREMEC transmissions including T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum. Whether you're building a classic Mustang, Fairlane, or any Ford platform with a mechanical speedometer, this gear helps dial in accurate speed readings after your manual transmission conversion.

Kit Includes

• 17-tooth speedometer driven gear, white plastic

Speedometer Driven Gear | Ford T5/T45/TKO/TKX/Magnum | 18-Tooth Yellow

Key Features

• 18-tooth driven gear for speedometer calibration on Ford-pattern transmissions
• Yellow color-coded for quick identification during installation and service
• Fits Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions
• Precision molded for accurate tooth engagement and long service life
• Direct replacement--installs into existing speedometer drive housing without modification

Description

When you swap in a 5- or 6-speed manual transmission, your factory speedometer gear ratio goes out the window. The new transmission's final drive ratio won't mesh with your original speedo gear, leaving your speedometer reading inaccurately--sometimes wildly so. This 18-tooth yellow driven gear lets you dial in the correct speedometer calibration for your specific tire size and rear axle ratio combination.

This driven gear fits the full range of Ford-pattern TREMEC transmissions: T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum. The industry-standard yellow color coding makes identification simple--no guessing which tooth count you're running when it's time for service or recalibration after a gear ratio change. The precision-molded construction ensures consistent tooth engagement with the drive gear for accurate, reliable speedometer readings mile after mile.

Installation is straightforward--the gear slides directly into the transmission's speedometer drive housing. If your speedometer calibration calculations call for more than 21 teeth (the maximum available driven gear size), you'll need to reduce the drive gear tooth count instead. Use a speedometer gear calculator with your tire diameter, axle ratio, and transmission drive gear tooth count to determine the correct driven gear for your application.

Kit Includes

• 18-tooth yellow speedometer driven gear

Key Features

• 19-tooth driven gear for precise speedometer calibration
• Pink color-coded for instant tooth count identification
• Fits Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and TREMEC T56 Magnum transmissions
• Essential for correcting speedometer accuracy after gear ratio or tire size changes
• Precision molded construction for reliable, long-lasting operation

Description

When you swap transmissions, change rear axle ratios, or bolt on different tire sizes, your speedometer no longer reads correctly. This 19-tooth driven gear lets you recalibrate for accurate readings by changing the gear ratio between your transmission's output and the speedometer cable. It's the driven gear -- the one that mounts to the speedometer cable end and inserts into the transmission tailhousing.

The pink color follows Ford's standardized identification system, making it easy to confirm the tooth count at a glance when you're sorting through your parts bin or comparing against your current setup. If your speedometer reads too fast with your current gear, stepping up to this 19-tooth unit will slow the reading. Each additional tooth changes the speedometer reading by approximately 5-6%. If you need an even higher tooth count, 21-tooth is the largest available in the driven gear; beyond that, you'll need to reduce the drive gear size instead.

This gear fits all Ford T5, T45, and Ford T56 transmissions, as well as all TREMEC TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum units. Installation is straightforward: remove the speedometer cable from the tailhousing, swap the driven gear, and reinstall.

What's Included

• One 19-tooth speedometer driven gear (pink)

Key Features

• 20-tooth driven gear for precise speedometer calibration
• Black color-coded for easy identification per Ford specification
• Fits Ford T5, T45, Ford T56, TREMEC T56 Magnum, TKO, and TKX transmissions
• Direct replacement for worn or incorrect factory gears
• Precision-molded plastic construction for durability and accurate engagement

Description

Transmission swaps and axle gear changes throw off speedometer accuracy - this 20-tooth driven gear gets your needle reading true again. When you install a five- or six-speed manual, the final drive ratio no longer matches your original speedometer gear, leaving you guessing at your actual speed. The correct driven gear restores accurate instrumentation so you know exactly how fast you're going.

This precision-molded driven gear is color-coded black for 20-tooth identification, following the standard Ford speedometer gear system. It pairs with the 7-tooth drive gear found on TREMEC TKO 500, TKO 600, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions to dial in speedometer accuracy for specific tire and axle combinations. Calculate your correct tooth count based on your tire diameter and rear axle ratio - if your math points to 20 teeth, this is your gear.

Note that 21 tooth is the largest driven gear size available for these applications. If your calculations call for a larger tooth count beyond 21, reducing the drive gear size provides the necessary calibration adjustment. Compatible with all Ford T5, T45, Ford T56, TREMEC T56 Magnum, and all TKO and TKX variants.

What's Included

• One 20-tooth driven speedometer gear (black)

Key Features

• 21-tooth red gear follows Ford's factory color-coding system for manual transmissions
• Largest standard driven gear tooth count available for maximum speedometer correction
• Fits all TREMEC transmissions using Ford-style speedometer systems: T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum
• Precision molded nylon construction for smooth, quiet operation and long service life
• Direct drop-in replacement--no modifications required

Description

Swapping to a 5 or 6-speed TREMEC transmission changes your final drive ratio, which throws off your factory speedometer calibration. This 21-tooth red driven gear lets you recalibrate your mechanical speedometer to read accurately with your specific tire size and rear axle ratio combination--no electronic tuner required.

Ford has used a consistent color-coding system for manual transmission speedometer gears since the 1960s: 16-tooth wine, 17-tooth white, 18-tooth yellow, 19-tooth pink, 20-tooth black, and 21-tooth red. As the largest tooth count in the standard range, this red 21-tooth gear provides maximum correction for applications with taller tires or numerically higher axle ratios. Each tooth of difference adjusts your speedometer reading approximately 5-6%, so selecting the correct count is critical for accuracy.

The driven gear installs into the speedometer housing on the tailshaft of your transmission, where it meshes with the drive gear on the output shaft. TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions come from the factory with a 7-tooth drive gear, making this 21-tooth driven gear the correct starting point for common combinations like 3.55 or 3.73 rear gears with 26-inch or taller tires. Use a speedometer gear calculator with your actual tire diameter and axle ratio to confirm the correct tooth count for your build.

This gear is compatible with Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions. The driven gear works with both cable-driven and VSS-equipped speedometer systems--just swap it into your existing housing.

What's Included

• 21-tooth red speedometer driven gear (precision molded nylon)

Key Features

• Secures driven speedometer gear for proper placement and operation in Ford T5 transmissions
• Direct replacement for original clips that have become brittle from heat exposure
• Essential component for automatic-to-manual conversions where no clip exists
• Compatible with all Ford T5 transmissions

Description

Clip-style speedometer gears require a retaining clip to lock the driven gear securely in the transmission housing, and this replacement clip delivers the secure fit your Ford T5 needs. Without a properly functioning clip, the driven speedometer gear can back out of the housing during operation, causing inaccurate speedometer readings and potential fluid loss.

Original retaining clips often become brittle after years of heat cycling in the transmission environment. If you're servicing your Ford T5, T-45, T-56, TKO/TKX, and Magnum speedometer gear or coming from an automatic transmission that didn't use a mechanical speedometer setup, a new retaining clip ensures your driven gear stays exactly where it needs to be. This is an inexpensive detail that makes the difference between a speedometer that works reliably and one that gives you trouble down the road.

This clip is the correct fitment for all Ford T5 transmissions and works with standard Ford-style driven speedometer gears. Keep one on hand whenever you're doing speedo gear service work.

Description

Modern manual transmissions feature complex internal components -- multiple gear sets, clutch packs and narrow oil passageways -- that demand a steady supply of high-quality fluid to function properly. Without it, wear and sludge formation can lead to reduced performance and even catastrophic failure requiring thousands of dollars in repairs. This AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid delivers the Dexron III specification required by TREMEC transmissions while providing protection that exceeds conventional fluids.

In both normal and severe service, this synthetic ATF resists wear to the transmission's valve body, gears, clutch plates and synchronizers, helping your TREMEC achieve long service life. The thermally stable formulation guards against the harmful effects of thermal breakdown in elevated heat conditions, while resisting heat-related evaporation and viscosity loss to keep internal components clean and protected.

Formulated with friction modifiers that promote fast, smooth clutch engagement, this fluid delivers responsive shift feel and efficient torque transfer. It remains fluid in sub-zero temperatures, resisting thickening and flowing quickly for reliable shifts during cold starts. The excellent low-temperature fluidity also maximizes fuel efficiency. Seal conditioners help guard against leaks at input shaft seals and other critical points.

TREMEC TKX transmissions use Dexron III or Dexron III/Mercon specification ATF fluid, and Dexron III ATF is also recommended for T56 and TR3650 models. The T5, TKO and TKX five-speed transmissions require approximately 2.75 quarts, while six-speed Magnum transmissions require approximately 3.45 quarts. TREMEC recommends changing fluid after the initial 500-1000 mile break-in period, then every 30,000 miles thereafter.

What's Included

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

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

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