Description

Need overdrive performance in a tight engine bay? The TREMEC Super Duty T5 is the answer. As the smallest and lightest transmission in the TREMEC lineup, it fits where others simply cannot - making it the go-to choice for classic car retrofits, hot rods, and kit cars where space is at a premium. At just 75 lbs dry weight, you get 5-speed capability without the bulk of larger transmissions.

This Z-specification unit represents a significant upgrade over the original equipment T5s found in '83-'93 Mustangs. Where the '83-'84 non-World Class units ran a 2.95 first with 0.63 overdrive but suffered from weaker synchronizers, and the '85-'93 World Class versions switched to a 3.35 first with 0.68 overdrive, the Super Duty combines the best of both worlds: the preferred 2.95/0.63 gear set with World Class internals including carbon fiber synchro rings on gears 1-4, tapered carrier bearings, and main needle bearings. The steel front bearing retainer and Cobra-style pocket bearing eliminate common failure points that plagued earlier designs.

The 2.95 first gear provides strong acceleration off the line, while the deep 0.63 overdrive significantly reduces highway RPM - cutting noise, heat, and wear while improving fuel economy. This transmission safely handles 330 ft-lb of torque and is suitable for street cars up to 450 horsepower on DOT-approved tires. It serves as a direct replacement for 1983-1993 V8 Mustangs and is ideal behind any small-block Ford engine, or as an upgrade for inline-four and six-cylinder applications. Requires 2.75 quarts of ATF Dexron III fluid.

For 1994-1995 5.0L V8 Mustangs or 1994-1998 3.8L V6 Mustangs, see part number MD-552-0251-94 for the SN95 version with longer input shaft.

Description

Swapping a TREMEC T5 (with Mustang tail housing) or T45 into a '65-'73 Mustang often leaves the factory shifter position off by inches. The Qwik Stik solves that problem with precision-machined billet aluminum plates that bolt directly to the transmission, bringing the shift lever back to the factory location with a 1" or 1.5" backward offset. No more guessing, shimming, or cutting--just attach your lever, boot, and knob and you're ready to row gears.

Unlike traditional shifters that rely on internal stops, the Qwik Stik uses Belleville washers to create excellent detent feel. This spring-loaded design eliminates the breakable stops found in other shifters while delivering crisp, precise 2-3 shifts. When service is eventually needed, the stop-free design makes disassembly and reassembly straightforward.

The compact top turret is sized specifically to clear the factory floor opening in early Mustangs, and the 7/8" on-center stub mounting accepts most aftermarket shift levers. A high-temperature lower dust/oil boot protects the internal components from contamination and fluid loss. Note: This shifter is designed for rear shifter position and rear socket position only. It will not fit Camaro or S-10 T5 transmissions.

Description

Classic Ford builders running 221, 260, or early '63-'64 289 engines know the frustration: your vintage small block has the early 5-bolt “narrow pattern” bellhousing, but you want the overdrive efficiency and improved ratios of a modern T5 5-speed. This precision adapter plate eliminates the mismatch by creating a direct connection between your narrow-pattern bellhousing and 1983-1993 Ford T5 transmissions or aftermarket T5z units.

The critical engineering detail is the clocking. MDL machines the T5 mounting pattern 7 degrees counterclockwise specifically for front-shift T5 applications. This rotation positions the transmission tail shaft mount flat, ensuring proper chassis integration without binding or odd crossmember angles. The precision CNC machining from 6061 billet aluminum maintains critical bellhousing-to-transmission alignment—the centering collar holds .001" tolerance, which is the difference between a transmission that runs true and one that eats input shaft bearings.

Ford’s narrow 5-bolt pattern was used on 221 and 260 engines, plus early 289s produced before August 1964. Early big block Ford applications also used this pattern, making this adapter essential for period swaps and restomod builds. If you need the T5 bolt pattern clocked straight up for stock Ford T5 applications (where the transmission mount doesn’t need rotation), see MDL item MD-401-2105 instead.

This adapter is compatible with 1983-1993 Ford T5 transmissions and aftermarket T5z units. It does not work with 1994-2004 T5 transmissions, which use a longer input shaft and different bellhousing depth. Proudly made in the USA.

What's Included

• 6061 billet aluminum adapter plate with 7-degree CCW T5 pattern clocking
• Complete mounting hardware
• Installation instructions

Key Features

• Dual clutch pattern accepts both 10" long-style and 10.4" metric diaphragm clutches — upgrade to high-performance clutch setups without swapping flywheels
• 157-tooth ring gear for compatibility with small-diameter bellhousings and starters
• 28oz external imbalance matches pre-1981 Ford small block engines (260, 289, 302, 351W, 351C)
• 6-bolt crank mounting pattern with 7/16" bolts
• Cast iron construction weighing 19 lbs for smooth idle characteristics and excellent heat absorption
• Precision machined to improve clutch performance, durability, and reduce vibration
• Pre-installed metric alignment pins for accurate 10.4" clutch indexing
• Replaces OEM part numbers C3AZ-6375-J and C3AZ-75-A

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

The 157 tooth ring gear works with small-pattern bellhousings and corresponding starters, making it the right choice for classic Mustangs and other Ford applications using the compact bellhousing configuration. Zero balance (internally balanced) design means this flywheel pairs with internally balanced rotating assemblies - including stroker builds, aftermarket cranks, and Ford Racing's 363 and 427 cubic inch crate engines.

Dual clutch bolt patterns accept both 10" and 10.5" diaphragm clutch assemblies, giving you flexibility whether you're running a stock-replacement clutch or upgrading to a higher-capacity performance unit. The 6-bolt crankshaft pattern provides direct fitment to Ford 289, 302, and 351 Windsor engines. Included alignment pins ensure proper clutch disc positioning during installation.

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. The 157-tooth ring gear and 28oz external imbalance match OE specifications for pre-December 1982 small block Fords, ensuring proper starter engagement and crankshaft balance. This flywheel fits Ford 289, 302, and 351W Windsor engines, plus Ford Racing 363ci and 427ci stroker crate motors that use the 28oz balance specification.

Six-bolt crankshaft mounting provides secure attachment, while included clutch alignment pins ensure proper disc positioning during installation. Every flywheel is precision-machined from US-milled steel and manufactured in the USA.

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

Description

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

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

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

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

Description

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

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

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

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

Description

This black 5-speed shift ball delivers the period-correct look and feel of the classic knobs used in the muscle car era. Whether you're finishing a concours-quality restoration or building a street machine that gets driven hard, this shift ball combines authentic styling with materials engineered to handle real-world abuse.

The 5-speed pattern graphics are subsurface-engraved into the black polymer resin, meaning they cannot wear off no matter how many miles you log. Unlike painted or printed shift knobs that fade and flake over time, this pattern stays crisp for the life of the knob. The high-impact polymer resin is specifically formulated to meet performance-level torque and temperature requirements without developing stress cracks as it ages.

Underneath the show-quality exterior, a brass master insert provides the structural backbone. This insert exceeds automotive industry specifications of 200 lb/ft static pull and 20 lb/ft twist torque, giving you the confidence to bang through gears without worrying about thread failure. The entire assembly is precision machined and polished to a high-gloss finish that looks right at home in any classic interior.

The 3/8"-16 thread pattern fits most aftermarket shifters and many OEM applications. If your shift lever uses a different thread size, MDL stocks adapters to make it work. Made in the USA.

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.

Description

Adding switch control to your shifter shouldn't mean clunky add-ons or taking your hand off the lever mid-shift. 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.

Perfect for street/strip builds, drag applications, or any 5-speed manual transmission setup where you need reliable switch control at your fingertips.

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

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

Swapping a modern five-speed into a classic Mustang creates a problem: the original shift lever won't bolt up to a TREMEC shifter, and generic levers look out of place in a period-correct interior. This OEM-appearance shift lever solves both issues by combining mid-'60s Mustang styling with the correct mounting pattern for modern TREMEC transmissions.

Built from high-strength steel with a chrome-plated finish, this lever replicates the factory design down to the simulated reverse lockout feature. The lockout is cosmetic only—it provides the correct visual cues without functional lockout action, since TREMEC transmissions handle reverse lockout internally. The 8mm mounting holes are precisely spaced at 7/8-inch center-to-center to bolt directly to stock T5 shifter mechanisms without modification.

At 8.5 inches tall, the lever delivers the proper shift feel and ergonomics that made the original setup intuitive. The 1/2-inch x 20 threaded tip accepts standard shift knobs, making it easy to complete your period-correct interior. If you're running an aftermarket shifter, you may need to enlarge the mounting holes to accommodate 3/8-inch bolts—but the included hardware covers stock T5 installations.

This lever is compatible with TREMEC T5, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions, making it ideal for vintage Mustang restorations and pro-touring builds that demand authentic styling without sacrificing modern driveline performance.

• Direct fit for Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions
• 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.

What's Included

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

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

• Cast steel construction with 6.5-inch overall length
• 28-spline internal design for Ford T5, C4, Toploader, AOD, and AODE transmissions
• 1310 series U-joint end with 1-1/16-inch bearing cap diameter
• 1/16-inch bearing cups for secure U-joint retention
• One spline tooth intentionally omitted for proper internal oil circulation
• Manufactured by Neapco for proven drivetrain reliability

Description

When converting from a C4 automatic or Toploader 4-speed to a TREMEC T5, the slip yoke becomes a critical interface component connecting your transmission output shaft to the driveshaft. This 28-spline slip yoke provides the correct spline engagement and U-joint connection for multiple Ford transmission platforms sharing the same output shaft spline pattern.

Engineered with cast steel construction and a 6.5-inch overall length, this yoke features 28 internal splines that mate precisely with T5, C4, Toploader, AOD, and AODE transmission output shafts. The 1310 series U-joint end uses standard 1-1/16-inch bearing caps for broad driveshaft compatibility with most Ford applications. One spline tooth is intentionally missing to allow proper oil movement within the yoke assembly during operation.

Important note on driveshaft length: During T5 conversions from C4 or Toploader transmissions, existing driveshafts are typically too long and require shortening, re-welding, and re-balancing. This yoke is not designed to compensate for length differences -- proper driveshaft modification is essential for correct operation and safety. Despite claims from other suppliers, there is no such thing as a "T5 conversion yoke" that eliminates the need for driveshaft work. MDL can provide custom driveshafts built to your exact specifications if needed.

Manufactured by Neapco, a trusted name in drivetrain components. See MDL's slip yoke measurement guide for proper installation dimensions.

What's Included

• One cast steel 28-spline slip yoke with 1310 U-joint end
• 6.5-inch overall length design
• Online measurement guide reference

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.

What's Included

• One 28-spline slip yoke, cast steel construction
• 1310 series U-joint mounting provision (1-1/16" caps)
• Access to MDL slip yoke measuring guide
• MDL lifetime technical support

Key Features

• 28-spline internal connection for Ford transmission output shafts
• 1330 series U-joint with 1-1/16" cap diameter and 3-5/8" overall width

• Manufactured by Neapco with precision-broached splines
• Street-rated for applications up to 650 hp without shock loading

Description

When swapping transmissions or building a custom Ford driveline, getting the slip yoke right is critical to a vibration-free, durable drivetrain. This 28-spline slip yoke provides the connection point between your transmission output shaft and driveshaft, utilizing the 1330 series U-joint that became Ford's go-to standard starting in 1978. The 1330 series shares the same 1-1/16" cap diameter as the 1310 but features a larger body, which increases driveline angle capability while maintaining cap strength.

Built from cast steel by Neapco, this yoke features precision-broached splines that deliver tight tolerance fits on transmission output shafts. That precision translates directly to reduced NVH and less time needed at the balancing operation when building your driveshaft. The external snap ring retention system keeps U-joint caps securely aligned in the yoke ears while allowing straightforward service access.

This yoke fits Ford applications with 28-spline transmission outputs, including T5 5-speeds, C4 automatics, Toploader 4-speeds, AOD, and AODE transmissions. Important note for T5 conversions: an existing C4 or Toploader driveshaft is typically too long and will need to be cut, re-welded, and re-balanced to the correct dimensions. Do not rely on slip yoke length to compensate for the difference—some sellers advertise conversion yokes as eliminating the need to shorten the shaft, but this approach does not work. If your existing driveshaft is worn, consider replacing it entirely with a shaft built to proper specifications.
