Description

Getting the shifter exactly where you need it in a custom truck or hot rod build can be the difference between a project that works and one that fights you every mile. This MDL-modified TREMEC TKX solves that problem with a professionally machined side shifter featuring front socket configuration and a precisely calibrated 1" or 1.5" backward offset shift stub. The tall turret body is specifically engineered for applications where standard turret heights create clearance issues--a common headache in truck and hot rod builds where the transmission tunnel, console, or seat placement demands flexibility the factory configuration cannot provide.

At its core, this is TREMEC's proven TKX platform--the slimmest 5-speed on the market, purpose-built for aftermarket applications from the ground up. The close-ratio 2.87 first gear paired with 0.68 overdrive fifth delivers the ideal balance of acceleration and highway cruising efficiency. All gears and shafts are manufactured from special-grade ASTM 4615 steel, while oversized gear widths and caged needle bearings in all positions ensure long-term durability. Multi-cone synchronizers with hybrid sintered bronze and carbon rings deliver smooth, crisp shifts even at the 7,500 RPM ceiling.

The end-loading case design isn't just about strength--though the ribbed three-piece aluminum housing delivers outstanding structural stiffness--it's about fitting where old-school 4-speeds used to live. The TKX slides into GM A-body tunnels (Chevelle, GTO, Cutlass, Nova, Camaro) without modification and uses the same GM Muncie bellhousing bolt pattern your existing hardware already fits. Dual speedometer outputs (mechanical 7-tooth cable drive plus analog electronic sensor) give you options for factory-style instrumentation or modern gauge clusters.

This configuration is not available through TREMEC--it's an MDL exclusive, modified at our Caldwell, Idaho facility. Fluid capacity is 2.7 quarts; TREMEC recommends HP-MTF, Dexron III, GM Synchromesh, Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF, or Pennzoil Synchromesh.

Description

Road course competitors and track day warriors demand a transmission that survives sustained high-RPM punishment while delivering predictable, consistent shifts lap after lap. This MDL-modified TREMEC TKX delivers exactly that - a 600 lb-ft torque capacity with the close-ratio gear spread that keeps your engine in its powerband through technical sections where momentum is everything.

The 2.87 first gear through 0.81 overdrive configuration eliminates the RPM gaps that kill corner exit speed. TREMEC's multi-cone synchronizers with sintered bronze and carbon hybrid rings enable clean, crisp shifts even under heavy braking and aggressive downshifts at competition speeds. The internal three-rail shift system with steel shift forks provides the mechanical precision serious drivers require.

MDL's custom shifter modification places the lever 2" left of center line with a 1" or 1.5" backward offset stub - precisely located for optimal ergonomics in race-prepped cockpits where every inch of shift throw matters. The ribbed three-piece aluminum housing with oversized gear widths and caged needle bearings delivers the structural rigidity and durability demanded by sustained high-load operation. All gears and shafts are machined from special-grade ASTM 4615 steel for maximum torque-carrying capacity.

This GM-pattern TKX bolts directly to Muncie and Richmond bellhousings, making it a straightforward swap for vintage Corvettes, GTOs, Chevelles, Camaros, and other GM muscle. The slim end-loading case design fits most factory tunnels without floorpan surgery. Fluid capacity is 2.7 quarts using ATF Dexron III, TREMEC HP-MTF, or equivalent.

Description

Classic GM A-Body muscle cars deserve a modern five-speed overdrive, but TREMEC's factory shifter locations don't work with original console configurations. MDL solves this fitment problem with a precision in-house modification that repositions the shifter stub 1.0" or 1.5" backward, placing it exactly where your factory shifter sat. This isn't a bolt-on adapter or generic relocation kit - it's a carefully machined transmission modification that integrates new components directly into the TKX case, available only through MDL.

The base transmission is the TREMEC TCET18083 wide-ratio TKX, purpose-built for the aftermarket with 600 lb-ft torque capacity and 7,500 RPM shift capability. The wide-ratio gear set (3.27, 1.98, 1.34, 1.00, 0.72) delivers strong low-end acceleration while the 0.72 overdrive fifth gear drops engine RPM for highway cruising. The TKX features sintered carbon/bronze hybrid triple cone synchronizers with a non-leading tooth profile for crisp, high-RPM shifts without grinding or gear clash.

TREMEC engineered the TKX from the ground up as an aftermarket transmission with a compact, end-loaded design that clears most transmission tunnels without floor modifications. The ribbed three-piece aluminum housing provides structural stiffness while keeping weight down. All gears and shafts are made from ASTM 4615 special grade steel for maximum torque capacity, and tapered roller bearings on the input, output, and counter shafts reduce noise and improve durability. A single-piece countershaft design further increases strength.

This modified TKX fits Chevelle, GTO, LeMans, 442, Buick GS, and Malibu applications - specifically BOP vehicles being upgraded from 3 or 4-speed manual transmissions, or those with automatic or blank floor consoles. The GM-spec pilot tip (0.590") and 1.375" OD throwout bearing guide tube mate to GM close-pattern bellhousings. Uses Dexron III ATF with 2.7-quart capacity. Every modified TKX is hand-built at MDL's facility in Caldwell, Idaho, with lifetime technical support.

What's Included

• TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission (TCET18083) with 3.27/1.98/1.34/1.00/0.72 gear ratios

Description

Swapping a modern 5-speed into your Buick, Olds, or Pontiac muscle car means finding a bellhousing that bridges classic BOP engine patterns with contemporary transmission bolt patterns. This aluminum bellhousing solves that problem with a dual-pattern design that accepts both vintage Muncie/T10 4-speeds and modern TREMEC TKO/TKX 5-speeds, giving you flexibility now and an easy upgrade path later.

The casting is A356 aluminum alloy with deliberately over-thick wall construction throughout. A356 is a premium casting alloy favored for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and superior castability, making it ideal for drivetrain components that need to handle repeated torque cycling without cracking or distorting. The thicker-than-standard walls add insurance against the stress concentrations that destroy thinner bellhousings over time.

What makes this bellhousing particularly useful for BOP applications is the dual starter pocket design. Buick and Oldsmobile engines use different starter mounting locations, and this casting accommodates both configurations without adapter plates or creative bracket fabrication. The bellhousing works with either mechanical linkage (Z-bar) or hydraulic clutch release systems, so you can retain your factory setup or upgrade to hydraulics without sourcing a different bell.

For street cruising applications under 500 horsepower, this aluminum bellhousing delivers excellent value. If you are building a race car or running over 500hp, step up to a steel bellhousing for maximum safety. Flywheel cover plate (MD-401-1117) and pivot stud (MD-401-6026) available separately. Made in the USA.

Kit Includes

• BOP aluminum bellhousing with dual transmission bolt pattern (Muncie/T10 and TKO/TKX)

Description

Mating classic Buick, Oldsmobile, or Pontiac V8 power to a modern manual transmission demands a bellhousing that eliminates flex and maintains perfect alignment across the entire RPM range. The QuickTime RM-8070 delivers exactly that - an SFI 6.1 certified steel scattershield engineered for street, strip, and circle track applications where drivetrain integrity is non-negotiable.

QuickTime's proprietary spin-forming process sets the RM-8070 apart from every rolled or stamped competitor. The high-grade steel cone work-hardens during manufacturing to over 80,000 PSI - more than double the strength of conventional steel bellhousings. This process also creates unmatched dimensional stability and concentricity, keeping your engine and transmission in perfect alignment and eliminating the accelerated drivetrain wear caused by bellhousing flex. The result is a bellhousing that's both lighter and stronger than the competition.

The RM-8070's 6.290-inch depth accommodates 166-tooth flywheels with 11-inch clutches, while the precision-machined 4.687-inch transmission bore ensures perfect fitment to Muncie, Richmond, Saginaw, BW T-10, Chevy T5, TKO 500/600, and Jerico transmissions. MIG-welded thread inserts for transmission mounting and clutch fork pivot ball provide professional fit and function. The durable powder-coated finish delivers years of corrosion-free service.

Compatible with all V8 Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac engines. Accepts both mechanical and hydraulic clutch actuation. SFI 6.1 certification is required by most sanctioning bodies for vehicles running 11.49 seconds or quicker in the quarter mile. Made in the USA with input from OEMs, engine builders, transmission builders, and racers.

What's Included

• QuickTime RM-8070 spun steel bellhousing with powder-coated finish
• Clutch fork bracket
• Engine block plate
• Grade 8 mounting hardware
• Installation instructions

Key Features

• Application-specific bolt lengths sized for aluminum bellhousing castings -- no guesswork
• Grade 8 fasteners for secure bellhousing-to-engine block mounting
• Fits Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac V8 engines with BOP bellhousing bolt pattern
• Designed for TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission installations
• Proper thread engagement depth for aluminum threads -- prevents bottoming out or insufficient engagement

Description

Bolting an aluminum bellhousing to your BOP V8 requires fasteners with the correct length for the casting thickness -- use steel bellhousing bolts and you risk either bottoming out in the block or getting inadequate thread engagement. This hardware kit eliminates that problem with bolts cut specifically for aluminum bellhousing installations behind TREMEC TKX transmissions.

The BOP bolt pattern -- shared by Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac V8 engines from the mid-1960s forward -- differs from the more common Chevy pattern in its top bolt locations. This kit includes Grade 8 fasteners sized precisely for that pattern when paired with an aluminum bellhousing. The shorter bolt lengths account for the reduced thread depth available in aluminum compared to steel castings, ensuring proper engagement without bottoming out.

This kit covers the bellhousing-to-engine connection only. Transmission-to-bellhousing bolts are not included -- most bellhousing manufacturers supply those with the housing itself, or factory transmission mounting bolts can be reused. If you are running a steel bellhousing instead of aluminum, see MDL's steel bellhousing hardware kit for the correct bolt lengths.

What's Included

• Grade 8 bellhousing-to-engine block bolts (aluminum bellhousing length)
• Associated hardware [VERIFY: confirm if washers/lockwashers are included]

Key Features

• Steel bellhousing-specific hardware kit -- correct bolt lengths for thicker Lakewood and QuickTime steel housings
• Grade 8 fasteners for high-torque, high-vibration drivetrain applications
• Hardened washers distribute clamping loads evenly across mounting surfaces
• Eliminates hardware store guesswork -- one kit, all the fasteners you need
• Torque specification: 35 ft-lbs for transmission-to-bellhousing bolts

Description

Steel bellhousings require different hardware than their aluminum counterparts. The thicker steel construction of Lakewood and QuickTime scatter shields demands specific bolt lengths that you won't find at the local hardware store -- and using the wrong fasteners means either insufficient thread engagement or bolts that bottom out before clamping. This hardware kit solves that problem with precision-selected Grade 8 bolts sized specifically for steel bellhousing applications.

The kit includes everything needed to secure your TREMEC TKX transmission to a GM-pattern steel bellhousing on small block or big block Chevy applications. Grade 8 fasteners deliver the strength required for high-torque drivetrains, while the included hardened washers prevent fastener galling and distribute clamping loads evenly across the mounting flange. Torque all transmission-to-bellhousing bolts to 35 ft-lbs for proper retention.

The GM TKX uses the same Muncie/Richmond 4-speed bolt pattern that's been standard on GM manual transmissions for decades, making bellhousing selection straightforward. This kit pairs with steel bellhousings designed for that pattern -- the thicker steel construction provides added safety in high-horsepower applications where an SFI-rated scatter shield is required or preferred.

Description

When your TREMEC swap demands a clutch that can handle serious power while maintaining street manners, the MDL Superior Kevlar/Kevlar clutch kit delivers the engineered solution. This isn't just another clutch kit--it's a purpose-built system designed specifically for hydraulic release applications where pedal feel and consistent engagement matter as much as holding power.

The heart of this system is the lower lever height diaphragm pressure plate, engineered specifically for hydraulic release systems. This optimized geometry ensures proper throwout bearing travel and consistent pedal feel with hydraulic slave cylinders. The Kevlar/Kevlar disc construction offers the best of both worlds--smooth, predictable engagement for daily driving with the heat resistance and durability needed for performance applications. Unlike organic facings that lose torque capacity when heated, Kevlar maintains its grip under hard use and resists burning when slipped excessively.

Every Superior clutch disc is hand-built in MDL's facility, ensuring precise balance, proper marcel spring tension, and consistent friction characteristics. The 26-spline x 1-1/8" hub fits TREMEC TKO, TKX, and T-56 transmissions, while the 10.5" diameter disc with 11-5/8" equal spacing bolt pattern works with standard Chevy flywheel configurations. The sprung hub design absorbs drivetrain shock loads and smooths power delivery for improved shift quality and reduced drivetrain harshness.

Description

When you need serious holding power for your GM application but can't step up to a larger diameter clutch, friction material selection becomes your primary tool. The Superior Kevlar/Ceramic clutch set pairs two materials strategically: Kevlar on the pressure plate side for controlled engagement, and ceramic on the flywheel side for maximum grip and heat resistance. This combination delivers the higher coefficient of friction needed to hold more power without increasing clutch diameter or clamp load.

Ceramic friction material is engineered for higher horsepower applications, quicker shifts in road racing, and a hard-hitting bite for drag launches. The iron content in MDL ceramics actually increases friction as temperatures climb - a critical advantage when you're stacking runs or pushing hard through a road course session. Where organic materials fade under abuse, ceramics thrive. The Kevlar backing on the pressure plate side moderates engagement for improved street manners while still delivering aggressive lockup.

The 10.5" diaphragm pressure plate provides consistent clamping force across the full disc surface, and the sprung-hub disc absorbs driveline shock that would otherwise hammer your input shaft. The 26-spline 1-1/8" hub matches GM transmissions including TKO, TKX, and other 26-spline applications. Engineered specifically for hydraulic actuation, this kit ships without a throwout bearing so you can match it to your hydraulic release bearing or internal slave setup.

Kit includes both Chevy and Buick/Olds/Pontiac pilot bushings, so you're covered regardless of which GM block you're running. Every Superior clutch assembly is hand-built and double-checked in-house before boxing. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year warranty.

Description

Finding a flywheel that properly fits early Oldsmobile V8s can be a challenge -- most aftermarket options are built for the more common 1968-and-later engines. This lightened billet steel flywheel solves that problem with application-specific dimensions engineered for 1964-1967 Oldsmobile V8s, featuring the correct 166-tooth ring gear and 2.489" crank register bore that these engines require.

Billet steel construction delivers a significant strength advantage over factory cast iron flywheels. The billet material resists the stress cracks that commonly plague cast iron units under high-torque loads and elevated RPM, making it a smarter choice for any performance build. At 30 pounds, this flywheel maintains enough rotating mass to preserve smooth idle characteristics and low-speed drivability -- critical for a street-driven muscle car -- while shedding unnecessary weight that would slow throttle response.

The 12-5/8" equalizer pressure plate bolt pattern accommodates 11" single-disc clutch assemblies, and the external balance design is correct for Oldsmobile small block (260, 307, 330, 350, 403) and big block (400, 425, 455) engines. The 6-bolt crankshaft mounting ensures secure attachment to the crankshaft flange.

Precision-machined in the USA, this flywheel delivers the reliability and long-term durability that classic Oldsmobile builds demand. If you are converting an early Olds to a manual transmission or upgrading an existing clutch setup, this flywheel provides the proper fitment and billet-steel strength that off-the-shelf solutions often lack.

Description

Oldsmobile V8s from 1968-1985 are externally balanced engines, meaning the flywheel must carry a counterweight to achieve proper crankshaft balance. A mismatched flywheel creates vibration that can damage bearings, gears, and clutch components. This lightened billet steel flywheel is purpose-built for Olds 260, 307, 350, 400, 403, and 455 cubic inch V8s, delivering the correct external balance your engine requires.

Billet steel construction offers significant advantages over cast iron flywheels. The material machines to tighter tolerances, resists cracking under high heat and repeated clutch engagement, and allows strategic material removal to reduce rotating mass without compromising strength. At 30 pounds, this flywheel strikes the ideal balance between reduced inertia for quicker throttle response and enough mass for smooth engagement and streetable manners.

The 2.489" crank register bore is precision-machined to center the flywheel accurately on your crankshaft, eliminating runout that causes clutch chatter and uneven wear. The 6-bolt mounting pattern secures the flywheel to your Oldsmobile crankshaft flange, and the 166-tooth ring gear ensures proper starter motor engagement. The clutch surface is machined for 11" clutch discs and drilled for the 12-5/8" pressure plate bolt pattern used by most performance clutch kits.

Designed and manufactured in the USA for Oldsmobile applications from 1968 through 1985.

Description

Worn pedal pads and missing trim rings are telltale signs of a neglected interior - and on a manual transmission F-body, they're the two components your feet touch every time you drive. This complete pedal pad kit restores your 1972-1981 Camaro or Firebird pedal assembly to factory-correct condition with properly sized pads and polished stainless steel trim rings that replicate the original GM look.

The kit includes 3-inch diameter pads for both the manual brake pedal and the clutch pedal. This sizing is critical: 1972 models and certain other F-body applications used full-size 3-inch clutch pedals, while later models often featured narrower 2-inch clutch pads. If your clutch pedal arm accepts a 3-inch pad, this is the correct kit. The stainless steel trim rings add the finishing touch that separates a quality restoration from a parts-bin build - bright polished rings that frame each pad and resist corrosion far better than chrome-plated alternatives.

Installation is straightforward - the pads and trim rings are designed to fit the factory pedal arm mounting points without modification. Whether you're completing a frame-off restoration or just refreshing a driver-quality second-gen, this kit gives your pedal box the detail-correct appearance that factory manuals specified.

What's Included

Description

Converting your 1964-1966 Chevelle or GM A-body to hydraulic clutch actuation eliminates the adjustment headaches and heavy pedal effort that come with worn mechanical linkage. The LF Series Master Cylinder Kit delivers a complete retrofit solution engineered specifically for these chassis, removing the guesswork of sourcing components and figuring out mounting strategies.

The LF Series features a revolutionary design that solves the problems caused by direct-mount master cylinders. The common approach of bolting a 3/4" or 7/8" bore by 1" stroke cylinder directly to the pedal results in improper pedal pressure, excessive firewall loading, and poor modulation. MDL's mechanical linkage design provides mechanical advantage, reducing pedal pressure while allowing full pedal stroke to maximize clutch control. The linkage positions the cylinder perpendicular to the firewall for optimal force distribution and allows use of the factory clutch rod hole for a cleaner installation.

The 0.750" bore paired with a 1.2" stroke generates the precise fluid volume needed for modern hydraulic slave systems while maintaining light pedal effort. The firewall support bracket not only prevents flex under load but sets the master cylinder at the correct angle for proper pedal stroke and feel. The black plastic remote reservoir mounts separately on the firewall, keeping brake fluid away from the cylinder and simplifying installation.

This kit works with factory clutch pedals and most aftermarket OE reproduction pedals. 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. Compatible with 1964-1966 Chevelle, Malibu, Monte Carlo, Tempest, LeMans, GTO, Grand Am, Grand Prix, Cutlass, Skylark, Century, and Regal. Made in the USA.

Description

Hydraulic clutch systems demand leak-free, pressure-resistant fluid lines that won't degrade over time or expand under load. This 24-inch stainless steel braided line delivers the durability and consistent pedal feel that separates a professional hydraulic clutch installation from a compromise. The PTFE (Teflon) inner lining provides excellent chemical compatibility with all common hydraulic fluids while resisting the swelling and deterioration that plague standard rubber lines.

The stainless steel braided construction prevents expansion under pressure, maintaining a firm, responsive clutch pedal. Unlike rubber hoses that can balloon and soften pedal feel, stainless braided PTFE lines keep the inner diameter uniform for efficient fluid transfer. The clear plastic outer coating shields the braid from abrasion, contamination, and corrosion while letting you visually inspect line condition at a glance.

At 24 inches with a 1/4-inch I.D., this line is sized specifically for hydraulic clutch applications.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Description

This is the shift lever that defined an era. The Hurst chrome-plated round bar stick was the upper bolt-on stick originally supplied from Detroit factories for vehicles that were "Hurst Equipped." The chrome round bar design, bolt-on construction, Hurst logos, and white ball knob were the identifying features that signified a Hurst shifter was installed at the factory as original equipment. For years, these OEM round bar sticks were never sold to the general public - they were only available if you bought a vehicle optioned with a Hurst shifter from the dealer.

Now this OE-style stick is available directly from Hurst, with all the great features exactly as originally designed. Built from forged steel with high-quality chrome plating, this shift lever delivers the authentic look and durability that made Hurst "America's Number 1 Shifter Company." The iconic "HURST" name is stamped directly into the stick, providing the period-correct detail that separates genuine Hurst hardware from generic alternatives.

The 11.21-inch height with 3.75-inch setback creates the classic curved geometry that puts the shift knob exactly where it belongs for smooth, confident shifts. This lever is particularly popular for 1969 Camaro and Firebird builds, fitting factory console installations as well as period-correct Muncie 4-speed shifters. Modern builders will appreciate that it also works perfectly with TREMEC TKX, TKO, and T56 Magnum transmissions paired with Hurst-pattern shifter mechanisms.

The universal 3/8"-16 TPI thread accepts all Hurst shift knobs and T-handles, giving you complete control over the final appearance. Whether you're completing a concours-level restoration or building a restomod that honors classic muscle car heritage, this chrome round bar shift lever delivers the authentic Hurst experience.

Description

Non-console Chevelles use a retaining ring to secure the rubber shifter boot to the floor hump - without it, the boot won't seal properly and you're left with dirt, moisture, and exhaust fumes entering the cabin around the shifter opening. This reproduction lower shifter boot ring replaces the original factory component that's often missing or damaged on restoration projects.

The retaining ring mounts under the carpet and creates the foundation for a proper boot installation. The ring seals the rubber boot to the floor, preventing debris and road noise from entering through the shifter opening. This is the same mounting system GM used on original non-console applications - the ring secures to the floor hump, carpet fits over top, and the boot assembly completes the seal at the shifter.

Designed specifically for 1964-1967 Chevelle applications without a center console, this retaining ring works with standard rubber shifter boots to complete the lower sealing system. The included mounting hardware means you have everything needed for installation without hunting for fasteners.

Description

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

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

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

What's Included

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

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

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

Kit Includes

• 17-tooth speedometer driven gear, white plastic

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

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

Kit Includes

• 18-tooth yellow speedometer driven gear

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

What's Included

• One 19-tooth speedometer driven gear (pink)

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

What's Included

• One 20-tooth driven speedometer gear (black)

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

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

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

What's Included

• One (1) retaining clip for Ford driven speedometer gear

Key Features

• 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.
