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

Swapping from a three or four-speed to a T5 behind your Ford small block or inline-6? You're facing two problems: bolt pattern incompatibility and the T5's longer input shaft. This precision adapter plate solves both issues, converting the Ford wide 8-inch transmission pattern to the Ford T5 mounting configuration while adding the spacing required for proper input shaft engagement.

CNC-machined from 6061 billet aluminum, this adapter maintains critical transmission-to-bellhousing alignment throughout the conversion. The T5 bolt pattern is intentionally clocked 5 degrees counter-clockwise, which positions the front-shift T5 tailshaft housing mount flat once installed. If your application requires the T5 bolt pattern clocked straight-up instead, see MDL part number MD-401-1202S.

The adapter works with Ford small block engines using the 6-bolt bellhousing pattern found on mid-year 1965 and later 289, 302, and 351 applications, as well as 1967 and later 200ci inline-6 bellhousings. Installation requires drilling two new mounting holes on the right side of the bellhousing. This adapter is designed specifically for 1983-1993 Ford T5 transmissions and does not work with 1994-2004 T5s (which have a longer input shaft) or S-10 applications.

Note: Ford truck bellhousings are not recommended for this application due to their deeper design, which prevents proper pilot shaft engagement in the bushing. If you're not sure what bellhousing you have, call MDL tech support at 208-453-9800.

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.

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.

What's Included

• White polymer resin shift ball with subsurface 5-speed pattern
• 16mm x 1.50 brass master insert (pre-installed)
• Jam nut

Key Features

• Side-mounted push button lockout prevents accidental reverse gear engagement
• High-impact polymer resin construction engineered for performance torque and temperature demands
• 1/7/8" diameter with polished white finish

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.

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

• One 2-1/8 inch black aluminum shift ball with brushed finish and 5-speed pattern

Description

Mismatched threads shouldn't force you to abandon a favorite shift knob or settle for one you don't want. This thread reducing insert solves the common fitment problem between 16mm metric shift knobs and the 3/8"-16 SAE threads found on many Hurst shift levers. Whether you're keeping a beloved original knob during a drivetrain upgrade or installing a new 16mm metric knob on your existing Hurst shifter, this adapter delivers a precision fit without modification to either component.

The insert threads into your 16mm shift knob while presenting a 3/8"-16 male thread to mate with the shift lever.

Description

Upgrading to a Lokar shift lever on your TREMEC-equipped build but don't want to give up your favorite shift knob? This thread reducing insert solves the compatibility problem. Lokar shifters use 3/8-24 threads at the top of the lever, while many OEM and aftermarket shift knobs--including popular universal 16mm-threaded styles--won't thread directly onto that pattern. This insert bridges the gap, letting you mate a 16mm-threaded knob to your new Lokar lever.

The insert threads into the internal 16mm threads of your shift knob, presenting external 3/8-24 threads that mate directly to the Lokar lever. The included jam nut cinches down against the lever to lock the assembly in place, preventing the knob from backing off during spirited driving or repeated shifting. It's a small piece of hardware that makes a big difference when you're mixing and matching components to get exactly the look and feel you want in your build.

This reducer is a common solution for classic Jeep CJ5, CJ6, CJ7, and CJ8 later models, as well as 1936-1946 and 1967-1972 Chevy truck builds where Lokar shifters are installed on TREMEC T5, T45, T56, TKO, or TKX transmissions. If you've got a knob you love and a Lokar lever on the way, this is the adapter you need.

What's Included

• Thread reducing insert (16mm internal threads, 3/8-24 external threads)
• Jam nut

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.

Speedometer Cable | 1967-1968 Mustang/Cougar | 5/8" Barrel | T5/TKO/TKX/AOD

Key Features

• 5/8" barrel-style connector matches factory Ford speedometer interface
• 63" overall length accommodates driver-side routing required by T5, TKO, and TKX transmissions [VERIFY: Product description states 63", key_features field states 59" - confirm correct length]
• Designed specifically for '67-'68 Mustang and Cougar five-speed and AOD conversions
• Compatible with Ford T5, TKO, TKX, and AOD transmissions
• Also fits Falcon conversions using MDL front-shift tailhousing or front-shift T5 packages

Description

When you swap from a factory four-speed to a modern T5, TKO, or TKX five-speed, the speedometer cable routing changes completely. These TREMEC transmissions position the mechanical speedometer drive on the driver's (left) side of the case, meaning your original cable won't reach - and trying to force an ill-fitting cable creates binding, premature wear, and inaccurate readings.

This application-specific speedometer cable solves that problem for '67-'68 Mustang and Cougar owners. The 5/8" barrel-style connector interfaces correctly with the Ford speedometer head, while the 63" overall length provides the reach needed for proper left-side routing without binding or excessive slack. The result is a clean installation that keeps your factory speedometer functioning accurately with your new overdrive transmission.

Beyond T5 and TKO/TKX manual swaps, this cable also works for AOD automatic conversions in '67-'68 Mustang and Cougar applications. Falcon owners converting to five-speed can use this cable when paired with MDL front-shift tailhousings or front-shift T5 packages. If you're upgrading to modern overdrive and want to keep your factory speedometer working, this is the cable that makes it happen.

What's Included

• Speedometer cable with 5/8" barrel connector (63" length)

Key Features

• 16-tooth driven gear corrects speedometer accuracy for Ford manual transmission swaps
• Wine color coding for easy tooth count identification during installation and service
• 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

Swapping a Ford T5 five-speed into your '67-'73 Mustang or Cougar means ditching that worn-out 3-speed for modern overdrive cruising - but you need a crossmember that positions the transmission correctly while leaving room for your exhaust. Many budget crossmembers use thin-wall exhaust tubing that compromises both strength and clearance. This crossmember solves that problem with a proper engineering approach that delivers maximum exhaust room without sacrificing structural integrity.

MDL builds this crossmember from laser-cut steel that is CNC bent to exacting tolerances - not cobbled together from bent tubing. This manufacturing process ensures a perfect fit every time and provides the solid construction your drivetrain demands. The design maximizes exhaust clearance so you can run the headers and exhaust system you want without fighting for space. At the same time, the stock-like appearance keeps your chassis looking factory-correct rather than obviously modified.

Installation is straightforward: this crossmember bolts to the factory sub-frame mounting points and works with your original 1965-1973 Ford transmission mount. The design accommodates convertible applications, so drop-top owners are covered. Whether you are running a World Class T5 from a late-model Mustang or a TREMEC-built unit, this crossmember provides the foundation for a clean, professional five-speed swap.

Direct replacement for 1967-73 Ford Mustang applications with 1983-1993 Ford T5 transmissions. Works with both hardtop and convertible body styles. Made in the USA with lifetime technical support from MDL.

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

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

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

• One 28-spline slip yoke, cast steel construction
• 1310 series U-joint mounting provision (1-1/16" caps)
