Description

Ditch the sluggish automatic and transform your '70-'77 Ford Maverick into a proper five-speed driver with this complete TREMEC T5 conversion package. Built around the proven Super Duty T5 (Z-spec), this kit solves the common problem of column-shift automatics robbing power, response, and driving enjoyment from small block V8 builds. The deep 0.63:1 overdrive drops highway RPM significantly compared to your original C4, improving fuel economy and reducing engine wear while making highway cruising far more pleasant.

The T5's compact footprint and 75-lb dry weight make it ideal for the Maverick's tight engine bay and lighter chassis - benefits you simply cannot get from larger transmissions. The motorsport-derived 2.95:1 first gear provides strong acceleration off the line, while the 300 lb-ft torque capacity handles typical 289, 302, and 351W street builds with confidence. Carbon fiber 3-4 blocker rings, double-moly gears, and improved synchronizers deliver smooth, precise shifts mile after mile.

MDL has engineered custom shifter location options specifically for the Maverick floor pan, solving the packaging challenges that make generic kits a headache. The kit includes a complete hydraulic clutch system - master cylinder, external slave, and lines - eliminating the notoriously finicky mechanical linkage and bell crank assemblies. Choose from aluminum or steel bellhousings, multiple flywheel weights and materials, and clutch sets matched to your power level.

Every component is selected to work together as a complete system. The T5 requires 2.75 quarts of Dexron III/Mercon ATF. This conversion package is designed, kitted, and supported in the USA with lifetime technical assistance from MDL's drivetrain specialists who can help you select the right options for your specific build.
