Overview

If you are making over 400 horsepower and need to upgrade from a tired four-speed, the TREMEC TKX delivers everything your Ford build demands. Unlike repurposed OE transmissions, the TKX was engineered from the ground up specifically for the aftermarket - designed to handle serious power while fitting into classic Mustangs and other vintage Fords without the floor surgery typically required by larger transmissions.

The end-loaded case design is the key to the TKX's compact footprint. TREMEC eliminated the traditional side-loading architecture, resulting in a slimmer, more streamlined case that clears tight transmission tunnels. The three-piece ribbed aluminum housing (main case, intermediate plate, and rear extension) delivers outstanding structural stiffness while reducing overall weight to just 99 lbs dry. Fewer case seams mean fewer potential leak points, and gaskets at all flanges simplify installation.

Inside, the TKX punches well above its weight class. Wide gear widths increase gear life and torque capacity, while tapered roller bearings on the input, output, and countershafts reduce noise and improve durability. Caged needle bearings on the mainshaft optimize performance at all gear positions. The internal three-rail shift system provides robust, precise gear engagement, and the rear mainshaft support bushing has been relocated closer to the gearbox for improved support. Hybrid triple-cone synchronizers made from sintered bronze and carbon deliver smooth, notch-free shifts even at 7,500 RPM.

This close-ratio configuration (2.87 first gear with 0.68 overdrive) keeps your engine in its powerband during spirited driving while dropping highway RPM for improved fuel economy and reduced wear. Short input shaft kits are available for Ford 3-speed and 4-speed bellhousing applications. Made from 100% brand-new OEM-quality components.

Description

Swapping a TREMEC TKX into your classic Mustang delivers modern shifting performance and 600 lb-ft torque capacity, but getting the shifter in the right spot can be a challenge. The Qwik Stik solves that problem with a precision-machined assembly that positions your shift lever exactly where Ford originally intended it to be in '65-'73 Mustangs.

The engineering starts with billet aluminum plates that mount directly to the TKX transmission case, eliminating guesswork and shimming. The 1" or 1.5" backward offset brings the shifter stub into the factory console location, maintaining proper ergonomics without hacking up your tunnel or console. Belleville washers provide the detent feel that makes 2-3 shifts crisp and confident under aggressive driving. Unlike designs that rely on internal stops, this stopless configuration simplifies maintenance when servicing is required.

The 7/8 in. on-center mounting pattern on the shifter stub accepts most aftermarket shift levers, so you can run the lever and knob that fits your build. A high-temperature lower dust boot protects the transmission internals from debris and contamination. Mount up, attach your shift lever, boot, and knob, and you are ready to go.

Description

Eliminate bellhousing flex and the accelerated drivetrain wear that comes with it. The QuickTime RM-6060 steel bellhousing connects Ford small block engines (289, 302, 351C, 351W) to Ford T5 Mustang, TKO 500/600, TKX, or TR3550 transmissions using standard-length input shafts. Unlike cheaper alternatives made from rolled or stamped steel, QuickTime's unique spin-forming process creates a cone that maintains perfect engine-to-transmission alignment throughout the entire RPM range.

The engineering advantage is measurable: high-grade steel that work-hardens to over 80,000 PSI delivers more than twice the strength of competing steel bellhousings while keeping weight down to approximately 20 pounds. This rigidity translates directly to reduced input shaft wear, consistent clutch engagement, and improved power transfer. The bellhousing is 6.925 inches deep with a universal transmission bore of 4.850/4.910 inches, designed for use with 157-tooth flywheels and clutches up to 10.5 inches.

This is a universal-fit bellhousing -- not vehicle-specific -- making it ideal for engine swaps, restomod builds, and custom applications where the factory bellhousing won't work. Universal shifter fork brackets accommodate mechanical, cable, or hydraulic clutch linkages. Note that transmission mounting bolts are not included. QuickTime holds patents on 16 points of bellhousing design and process, with input from OEM engineers, engine builders, transmission builders, and racers. Made in the USA.

Important: This bellhousing is NOT SFI certified. Many sanctioning bodies require SFI 6.1 certification for cars running 11.49 or faster in the quarter mile. If you need SFI certification, see QuickTime RM-6065.

Description

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

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

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

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

Description

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

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

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

What's Included

TKX Transmission-to-Bellhousing Hardware Kit | Ford Small Block | Aluminum Bell

Key Features

• Complete transmission-to-bellhousing fastener set sized specifically for aluminum bellhousing applications
• Engineered for TREMEC TKX installations on Ford Small Block engines (289, 302, 351W)
• Bolt lengths optimized for aluminum bellhousing thread engagement - not compatible with steel bellhousing kits
• High-grade steel construction with hardened washers for reliable clamping force
• Eliminates hardware guesswork when upgrading from factory T5 or other transmissions

Description

Factory T5 transmission-to-bellhousing bolts are incompatible with TREMEC TKX transmissions, and aluminum bellhousings demand different fastener lengths than their steel counterparts. This hardware kit eliminates the guesswork by providing the correct transmission-to-bellhousing fasteners specifically sized for TKX-to-aluminum bellhousing installations on Ford Small Block applications.

Aluminum bellhousings have different thread depth characteristics than cast iron or steel units, which means using the wrong bolt length risks either insufficient thread engagement or bottoming out before achieving proper clamp load. This kit contains bolts cut to the precise length required for aluminum bellhousing applications, ensuring full thread engagement without interference.

Built from high-grade steel with hardened washers included, these fasteners deliver the clamping force needed to keep your transmission securely mounted under hard acceleration and aggressive shifting. Whether you're building a Foxbody Mustang, classic small block-powered Ford, or any other vehicle running a TKX behind a 289, 302, or 351W, this kit ensures you have the right hardware for a proper installation.

Note: This "AL" kit is specifically for aluminum bellhousing applications. Bellhousing bolt lengths differ between aluminum and steel bellhousings - some bellhousing manufacturers include their own bellhousing-to-block bolts, so this kit focuses on the transmission-to-bellhousing fasteners you need to complete the job.

What's Included

• High-grade steel transmission-to-bellhousing bolts (lengths optimized for aluminum bellhousing)
• Hardened steel washers

Key Features

• Bolt lengths sized specifically for steel bellhousing applications - not interchangeable with aluminum bellhousing hardware
• Grade 8 steel construction for maximum clamping force and durability
• Hardened washers included for proper load distribution across mounting surfaces
• Complete hardware set for attaching Ford TKX transmission to steel bellhousings
• Compatible with QuickTime and Lakewood steel scatter shields for Ford applications
• Made in the USA

Description

When upgrading to a TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission, factory T5 transmission-to-bellhousing bolts are incompatible with TKX applications. This hardware kit provides the correct bolt lengths and grade specifically engineered for steel bellhousing installations on Ford applications. Steel bellhousings require different bolt lengths than aluminum bellhousing kits - using the wrong hardware can result in improper engagement, case damage, or unsafe mounting conditions.

This MDL hardware kit solves the sourcing headache by providing the exact fasteners needed for your steel bellhousing installation. The Grade 8 bolts deliver the clamping force necessary to handle the TKX's 600 lb-ft torque capacity, while hardened washers ensure even load distribution across the bellhousing mounting flange. Proper hardware is critical - never use transmission-to-bellhousing bolts to draw or pull the transmission up to the bellhousing, as damage to the pilot bearing and transmission case ears may result.

This kit is designed for use with popular steel scatter shields including QuickTime and Lakewood bellhousings for Ford small block applications paired with the TKX transmission. When installing, ensure the transmission is fully seated by hand against the bellhousing before torquing fasteners to specification. Made in the USA with lifetime tech support from MDL.

What's Included

• Grade 8 steel transmission-to-bellhousing bolts (sized for steel bellhousing applications)
• Hardened steel washers
• Lifetime tech support from MDL

Key Features

• Direct-fit replacement for 1979-1993 Fox-Body Mustang cable-style bellhousings
• Compatible with both factory cable actuation and external hydraulic slave cylinder setups
• Works with TREMEC T5, TKO, and 1993 & earlier Windsor T56 transmissions
• Correct 9 o'clock fork position specific to Fox-Body applications - not interchangeable with SN95 forks
• Proper pivot point geometry for reliable clutch engagement

Description

When you're building or maintaining a Fox-Body Mustang with a manual transmission, using the correct clutch fork isn't optional - it's critical. This clutch lever is specifically engineered for 1979-1993 Mustangs and delivers the proper pivot geometry required for clean, consistent clutch engagement with cable-style bellhousings.

The Fox-Body clutch fork positions at the 9 o'clock location when viewed from the rear of the bellhousing - a distinctly different orientation than the SN95's 7 o'clock position. This isn't just a cosmetic difference: the lever length and pivot points are purpose-built for Fox applications. Using the wrong fork creates severe cable angle problems, premature cable wear, and inconsistent clutch feel. SN95 forks are longer with different pivot spacing and cannot be substituted.

This fork works equally well whether you're running the original cable actuation or upgrading to an external hydraulic slave cylinder. When paired with external hydraulics, the fork operates as a pusher instead of the traditional cable pull - eliminating the stretching, snapping, and binding issues that plague factory clutch cables over time. The result is smoother pedal effort and more reliable engagement, especially with high-performance clutches.

Compatible with 1979-1993 Mustang applications running TREMEC T5, TKO, or 1993 & earlier Windsor T56 transmissions. Requires a compatible cable-style small-block bellhousing for proper fitment.

What's Included

• One (1) clutch fork/lever for 1979-1993 Fox-Body Mustang

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
• 50oz external balance engineered specifically for 1981-1995 Ford 5.0L Windsor engines
• 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.

Description

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Description

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

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

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

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

• Made in the USA

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

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

Key Features

• Riveted steel clutch facing permanently fastened to aluminum body - prevents ring gear separation under high loads
• 157-tooth ring gear for proper starter engagement on 5.0L HO applications
• 50oz external counterweight matches factory balance on 1981-1995 Ford 5.0L HO engines
• 19 lb total weight - reduces rotating mass versus stock cast iron flywheels
• Six-bolt crankshaft mounting pattern for direct replacement installation
• 10.4" metric clutch bolt pattern with alignment pins
• Made in the USA

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

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

Great for 1986-1995 Ford applications running the 10.4" metric bolt pattern.

Ceramic friction material works harder as temperatures climb--the iron content in MDL's ceramic compound actually increases friction under heat, making this clutch stronger during abuse rather than weaker. That's why ceramic is the go-to choice for higher horsepower builds, quick shifts in road racing, and hard-launching drag cars. When a larger diameter disc isn't an option, the higher coefficient of friction delivers more holding power from the same surface area and clamp load.

Every Superior clutch assembly is hand-built in MDL's Caldwell facility using double-riveted construction and exacting quality standards. Each unit is checked and double-checked for accuracy before it ships, so you receive a ready-to-install premium product right out of the box.

The twin-disc design spreads clamping loads across two organic friction surfaces, reducing pressure plate spring tension compared to equivalent single-disc setups. Organic-faced twin sprung hub friction discs provide smooth engagement with soft pedal effort and excellent release characteristics, making this ideal for enthusiasts who demand performance without sacrificing driveability.

The small ring adapter configuration works with Ford 157T flywheel bolt patterns. The 26 x 1-1/8" input spline accommodates transmissions like the TKO-500/600, TKX, and T56 Magnum. McLeod's patent-pending adapter ring ensures proper pressure plate positioning and prevents the binding issues common with universal adapters. This kit requires your existing flywheel, which must be properly resurfaced before installation. Flywheel surface must have a coarse texture from a stone grinder - if you run your fingernail across it, the texture should catch your nail.

Compatible with Ford applications using 10" Long bolt patterns with 8mm hardware for 10.5" bellhousing configurations. Note: This clutch is designed for high-horsepower street use and is not intended for competition environments. Made in the USA.

Description

When your build pushes past 500hp and you still want to drive it on the street, single-disc clutches start showing their limits. The McLeod RXT twin disc clutch kit delivers 1,000hp holding capacity in a package that maintains street manners - soft pedal effort, smooth engagement, and the kind of durability that lets you drive to the track, run quarter-mile passes, and drive home without drama.

The engineering centers on dual ceramic friction discs mounted to a Blanchard ground floater plate. The ceramic facings provide slightly aggressive engagement with excellent release characteristics - enough grip for serious power without the on-off grabbiness that makes some racing clutches miserable in traffic. The floater plate distributes heat across both friction surfaces, preventing the hot spots that kill single-disc setups under sustained abuse. McLeod's diaphragm pressure plate maintains consistent clamping force throughout the disc's lifespan while actually delivering lighter-than-stock pedal effort.

This kit uses McLeod's patent-pending large gold metric adapter ring, eliminating the need for a dedicated flywheel. The adapter ring bolts directly to flat-style metric flywheels found on Ford 164T Modular engines (4.6L, 5.0L Coyote, 5.4L) and GM 168T LS1/LS6 applications. Critical note: this kit will NOT fit factory 2011-17 Coyote flywheels, recessed LS2/LS3/LS7 flywheels, or flywheels with crank reliefs larger than 6.250 inches in diameter. The 1-1/8-inch x 26-spline input shaft fits T-45, TR-3650, T-56, TR-6060, and TREMEC Magnum transmissions with 26-spline inputs.

Break-in requires 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving to properly seat the friction surfaces - no drag racing or dyno pulls until you've actuated the clutch 1,200-1,500 times. Always resurface the flywheel with a coarse stone-ground finish, replace the pilot bearing, and verify bellhousing alignment during installation. This kit does not include a pilot bearing or throwout bearing.

What's Included

• Diaphragm pressure plate
• Two ceramic friction discs (9.687-inch diameter, solid hub)
• Blanchard ground floater plate with noise-reducing straps
• Large gold metric adapter ring - CNC-machined and anodized (patent-pending)
• Pilot alignment tool
• Installation instructions
• Lifetime tech support from Modern Driveline

Note: Pilot bearing and throwout bearing not included - must be sourced separately for your application.

Key Features

• Premium Oilite bronze construction - oil-impregnated for self-lubrication and extended service life
• Precision dimensions: 1.379" OD x .670" ID x .500" wide [VERIFY: description states .580" wide - confirm correct width]
• Fits Ford 144ci/170ci/200ci inline-6, all Small Block Ford V8s, and all Ford Modular V8 engines
• Provides superior input shaft support compared to failure-prone roller bearings
• Self-lubricating bronze eliminates the need for additional greasing

Description

A worn or failed pilot bushing leads to hard shifting, gear clash, clutch chatter, and premature input shaft wear. This heavy-duty Oilite bronze pilot bushing delivers full support of the transmission input shaft snout, ensuring smooth clutch engagement and proper drivetrain alignment throughout the life of your clutch.

Engineered from premium-grade Oilite bronze, this bushing features a sintered, porous construction that is vacuum-impregnated with oil. As the bushing wears, it continuously releases lubricant to the input shaft pilot surface - no additional greasing required. In fact, you should never grease an Oilite bushing, as the soap in grease can clog the pores and defeat the self-lubricating design. Unlike needle roller bearings that can fail catastrophically and score or destroy your input shaft, bronze bushings wear gradually and predictably, giving you warning signs before causing drivetrain damage.

This bushing fits the complete range of Ford inline-six engines (144ci, 170ci, and 200ci), all Small Block Ford V8 applications, and all Ford Modular V8 engines. The universal Ford fitment makes this an essential shop stock item for clutch jobs and transmission swaps.

Installation tip: Freeze the bushing before installation to shrink it slightly for easier press-in. For removal, stuff bread into the center of the bushing and drive it out with a punch - much cleaner than the traditional grease-packing method. Pilot bushings are wear items and should be replaced with every clutch service, regardless of apparent condition.

What's Included

• One Oilite bronze pilot bushing (1.379" OD x .670" ID x .500" wide) [VERIFY: confirm width - .500" or .580"]

Key Features

• Needle roller construction reduces friction and parasitic drag versus bronze pilot bushings
• 1.379" outer diameter press-fits Ford small block crankshaft pilot bore
• 0.670" inner diameter supports transmission input shafts in the .669"-.672" range
• 0.500" width provides proper support without bottoming in crankshaft recess
• Pre-greased from factory - no additional lubrication required or recommended
• Direct fit for Ford 302 and 351 Windsor engines with manual transmissions

Description

A worn or incorrect pilot bearing causes grinding shifts, premature input shaft wear, and clutch drag that won't release. This needle bearing delivers the low-friction operation your Ford small block manual transmission swap demands, replacing high-drag bronze bushings with precision needle rollers that spin freely during clutch engagement and disengagement.

Needle roller bearings dramatically reduce the friction between your transmission input shaft and crankshaft compared to solid bronze bushings. Where a bronze bushing relies on an oil film that can break down under heat and load, needle rollers maintain consistent, low-drag rotation throughout the clutch cycle. The result is cleaner clutch release, smoother shifts, and longer input shaft life.

The 1.379" outer diameter press-fits the standard Ford small block crankshaft pilot bore found in 302 and 351 Windsor engines. The 0.670" inner diameter accommodates most manual transmission input shafts, including those found on TREMEC TKO, TKX, and T5 units that typically measure in the .669"-.672" range. The 0.500" width ensures the bearing seats properly without bottoming out in the crankshaft recess.

This bearing ships pre-greased from the factory. Do not add additional grease - excess lubrication can contaminate clutch disc facings and cause slippage or premature failure. Press the bearing into the crankshaft before flywheel installation, seating it until you notice a change in tone indicating full contact with the bore shoulder. A slight lip extending from the crankshaft face is normal and expected.

What's Included

• One needle roller pilot bearing with factory lubrication

Key Features

• Premium-grade 8740 chromoly construction hardened to 180,000 PSI tensile strength
• 8mm x 1.25 thread size with 10mm hex head for proper socket access

• Application-specific design ensures optimum grip length for Ford 302/351W engines
• Large diameter, low profile design increases clamping force over stock hardware
• Complete kit includes washers for proper installation
• Set of 6 bolts replaces all factory pressure plate fasteners

Description

The importance of pressure plate bolts in racing or high-performance street applications cannot be emphasized nearly enough. These fasteners play a key role in both the performance and safety of a vehicle. Factory pressure plate bolts are notorious weak points that can stretch or fail under power, leading to clutch slippage, pressure plate distortion, or catastrophic failure. When you're building serious power, the last thing you want is substandard hardware compromising your drivetrain.

ARP engineered these High Performance Series bolts specifically for 1986-1995 Ford 302 and 351 Windsor applications. Each bolt is forged from premium-grade 8740 chromoly steel and heat-treated prior to thread rolling and machining, achieving a nominal tensile strength of 180,000 PSI. The application-specific design ensures optimum grip length for your Ford V8, eliminating the guesswork that comes with generic hardware.

The 8mm x 1.25 threading matches factory specs while delivering vastly superior strength. Each bolt features a hex head design with 10mm socket access for easy installation and removal. The black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean appearance under the hood. The large diameter, low profile design increases clamping force compared to stock bolts, reducing the risk of pressure plate flex under high-load conditions.

Fits all 1986-1995 Ford applications equipped with 302 or 351W engines, including Mustang 5.0L, F-150 trucks, Bronco, E-Series vans, and Crown Victoria. Kit includes six pressure plate bolts with washers for complete replacement of all factory fasteners.

Description

Converting a '69-'70 Mustang or Cougar from automatic to manual transmission? The biggest headache is wrestling the clutch pedal pivot shaft through the pedal support bracket in tight under-dash confines. MDL's clutch pedal solves that problem with a removable bolt-on pivot shaft that slides into place after the pedal arm is positioned - no need to drop the entire pedal support or contort yourself into impossible angles.

This OEM-spec replacement duplicates the original '69-'70 clutch pedal in every dimension and mounting point, with one critical improvement: the bolt-on pivot shaft design. It drops right into place whether you're working with an existing manual setup or converting from automatic. When converting, the stock pedal support is reused and the brake pedal simply gets trimmed on the left side to create the narrower manual-shift pad - no replacement brake pedal required.

The pedal includes all necessary mounting provisions for various clutch release systems. A spring pivot point comes installed for use with stock mechanical linkage, though the spring is not needed when running cable or hydraulic clutch release. The included rubber pedal stop prevents metal-to-metal contact that causes annoying squeaks and premature wear at the pedal travel limit.

Description

Factory plastic pedal bushings are one of the most common failure points in classic Mustang clutch systems. They wear quickly, creating sloppy pedal feel, increased effort, and inconsistent clutch engagement. This roller bearing kit permanently solves that problem by replacing those soft plastic pieces with steel roller bearings that deliver smooth, precise pedal action for years.

The roller bearing design dramatically reduces friction at the pivot point, translating directly to lighter pedal effort and more tactile clutch feel. Instead of fighting a sticky, binding pedal during spirited driving, you get consistent engagement every time. The zinc-plated roller bearing supports clip directly into your existing factory mounting points, maintaining OEM appearance while delivering superior durability.

For pedal hangers that show wear from years of use, the kit includes a reinforcement washer that can be welded in place to restore structural integrity before installing the new bearings. This is a straightforward upgrade once the pedal support assembly is removed from the vehicle. Note that 1969-1973 applications may require minor modification to the pedal bracket assembly for proper fitment.

Designed as a direct replacement for Ford part number C5ZZ-2478-RB, this kit fits 1965-1973 Mustangs and works with many other Ford applications from the same era. If your clutch pedal feels agricultural instead of precise, worn bushings are likely the culprit - and this kit is the permanent fix.

• One-Man-Bleeder Kit included for easy system bleeding
• Made in the USA

Description

Converting your '67-'70 Mustang or Cougar to a modern transmission or upgrading from mechanical linkage demands a hydraulic clutch system engineered specifically for the job. Most retrofit kits bolt a short-stroke, large-bore master cylinder directly to your pedal, creating heavy pedal pressure, mounting interference at the firewall, and an overall poor driving experience. The LF Series solves these problems with an innovative linkage design that transforms pedal geometry and delivers a dramatically improved driver experience.

The common retrofit approach uses a 3/4" or 7/8" bore by 1" stroke master cylinder connected directly to the pedal. This short stroke combined with improper mounting angles results in excessive pedal effort and limited clutch control. The LF Series revolutionary linkage matches your full pedal travel with a long-stroke master cylinder, creating mechanical advantage that significantly reduces pedal effort while optimizing clutch engagement control. The linkage allows positioning perpendicular to the firewall using the mechanical clutch rod hole (where possible), eliminating the interference issues that plague direct-mount setups.

The 0.700" bore combined with 1.4" stroke generates enough fluid volume to properly actuate most aftermarket external slaves or internal hydraulic release bearings. The remote black plastic reservoir mounts separately on the firewall for clean installation and easy fluid level checks. Uses DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid only -- no special high-temp fluid required.

Fits 1967-1970 Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar with factory pedal assemblies. Will NOT work with band-clamp brake boosters or certain aftermarket brake boosters 8" and larger. Requires factory firewall, pedal, and pedal hanger to be in good working order -- any modifications or damage to these components will affect master cylinder performance.

Description

Converting your '67-'70 Mustang or Cougar to a modern TREMEC transmission or upgrading from worn mechanical linkage? The MDL LF Series Master Cylinder Kit solves the common problems that plague most hydraulic conversions. Traditional approaches use oversized 3/4-inch or 7/8-inch bore cylinders with short 1-inch strokes mounted directly to the pedal--creating heavy pedal pressure and firewall interference issues. The short stroke compounds the problem, requiring excessive force for proper clutch release.

The LF Series breaks this pattern with a revolutionary mechanical linkage system that allows the 0.700-inch bore master cylinder to utilize the full 1.4-inch stroke while maintaining the stock clutch pedal pivot point. This linkage creates mechanical advantage, dramatically reducing pedal effort while generating sufficient fluid volume for reliable clutch actuation. The firewall-mounted linkage plate distributes loads evenly and eliminates the binding that occurs with direct-mount systems.

Description

Converting your classic Mustang or Cougar to a modern TREMEC transmission—or simply upgrading from tired mechanical linkage—demands a hydraulic clutch system that delivers light pedal effort without compromising installation simplicity. The LF Series (Light Foot) Hydraulic Clutch Master Kit solves the engineering challenges that plague most conversion kits: heavy pedal pressure, firewall interference, and compatibility headaches.

The problem with conventional hydraulic conversions is simple math. A typical 3/4-inch or 7/8-inch bore master cylinder with a 1-inch stroke connects directly to the pedal, requiring the cylinder to mount higher than the stock clutch rod hole—creating interference issues with the firewall and pedal assembly while producing excessive pedal loads. The LF Series takes a fundamentally different approach: an innovative mechanical linkage that works with your existing clutch pedal and rod hole location, matching pedal travel to a long-stroke master cylinder for dramatically reduced pedal effort.

The 0.700-inch bore paired with a 1.4-inch stroke generates sufficient fluid volume to support most aftermarket external slave cylinders and internal hydraulic release bearings. The clear anodized billet aluminum reservoir mounts remotely on the firewall for a clean installation and allows instant visual confirmation of fluid level. The system uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid—no need for expensive high-temperature fluid.

Description

Fox-body and SN95 Mustang clutch cables are notorious for clearance headaches, binding against headers, and developing a heavy, draggy pedal feel as they wear. This MDL Lightfoot Series external hydraulic slave cylinder kit eliminates those problems by converting your 1979-1993 Mustang's aluminum T5, TKO, or TKX bellhousing from cable operation to reliable hydraulic actuation.

The slave cylinder mounts directly to the bellhousing fork opening behind the original cable fork, pushing the fork instead of pulling it for proper clutch release. This rear-push design provides exhaust clearance that clutch cables simply cannot match, making it compatible with long-tube headers while keeping the cylinder accessible for installation and service. The adjustable pushrod allows you to dial in precise clutch engagement without pulling the bellhousing.

Engineered as a complete system, this kit pairs seamlessly with MDL LF Series master cylinder kits for a fully integrated hydraulic clutch conversion. The 0.75-inch bore slave cylinder delivers consistent pedal feel and full clutch release when matched with the appropriate master cylinder.

Description

Clutch cables on Fox-body and SN95 Mustangs wear out, bind, and add unnecessary pedal effort - especially when routed around long-tube headers. The LF Series External Hydraulic Slave Kit eliminates those headaches by converting QuickTime RM-6060 and RM-6065 steel bellhousings from cable actuation to smooth, consistent hydraulic release. Designed specifically for small block Ford applications running TKO 500/600, TKX, TR3550, or T5 transmissions, this transmission-mounted system delivers reliable clutch engagement without the clearance compromises of internal slave designs.

The key to this kit's simplicity is its external, transmission-mounted bracket design. Rather than replacing your cable-style clutch fork, the 0.75-inch bore slave cylinder bolts directly to the left two bellhousing bolts and pushes from the rear of the fork - mimicking the mechanical action of a cable system with the precision of hydraulics. The adjustable pushrod allows fine-tuning of clutch engagement point without disassembly, while the external bleeder port makes maintenance straightforward. The compact mounting location tucks the cylinder out of the way of headers and exhaust components that typically interfere with cable routing.

When paired with an MDL LF Series master cylinder kit, you get a complete engineered hydraulic clutch system designed to work together. The matched bore sizes and stroke lengths take the guesswork out of hydraulic ratio calculations, delivering consistent pedal feel and full clutch disengagement. This kit is compatible with both the QuickTime RM-6060 (non-SFI) and RM-6065 (SFI 6.1 certified) bellhousings for small block Ford 302/351W applications. Uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid - no special high-temp fluid required. Made in the USA.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Description

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.

• 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)

• 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

• 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

• 16-pulse Hall effect sensor delivers 16,000 pulses-per-mile output for accurate electronic speedometer calibration
• Direct bolt-in fitment for Ford gear drive TKO and TKX transmissions
• Three-wire design with included 10-foot pigtail harness for flexible routing and clean signal transmission
• Allen-head mounting bolt provides body clearance in tight transmission tunnel applications
• Uses standard T5 driven speedometer gears - no adapter required for low-profile installation.
• 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.

What's Included

• 16-pulse digital speedometer sensor with three-pin connector

Description

Connecting your transmission to the driveshaft demands a slip yoke that can handle real power without becoming a weak link. This Neapco 31-spline forged steel slip yoke delivers the strength and precision fit required for Ford TKO, C6, and FMX transmissions, providing a direct-fit solution for street performance builds.

Forged steel construction eliminates the porosity and stress risers inherent in cast yokes. The result is a stronger, more consistent part that handles torque loads without cracking or deformation. The 1310 Series U-joint is rated for 400 lb-ft of continuous torque and 800 lb-ft short-duration loads--making this combination well-suited for street-driven cars producing up to approximately 500 hp, provided traction is managed with street tires rather than slicks.

Neapco's precision broaching process produces tight-tolerance spline fits that mate smoothly with the transmission output shaft. This accuracy, combined with reduced end play in the universal joint, minimizes driveline vibration and extends component life. The outside snap ring design allows for straightforward U-joint service when maintenance is eventually needed.

This slip yoke fits Ford transmissions with 31-spline output shafts, including the Ford TKO, C6 automatic, and FMX automatic. If your application requires higher torque capacity, consider upgrading to a 1330 or 1350 Series yoke and matching driveshaft components.

• Weighs 2.900 lbs

Description

Converting to a TREMEC TKX or T56 Magnum often means driveline modifications are in order -- including upgrading to an aftermarket slip yoke that can handle the torque output of a modern 5 or 6-speed manual transmission. This Sonnax forged steel slip yoke delivers the strength and precision your high-performance drivetrain demands, engineered to never be the weak link between your transmission and driveshaft.

Sonnax slip yokes are forged -- not cast -- for greater strength, then undergo a precision-machining process that guarantees exceptional balance and minimal runout. Clean-cut splines mate smoothly with the transmission output shaft, while all dimensions are precision machined to ensure a consistent, concentric fit. The smooth outer journal provides uniform contact with the tail housing seal, preventing leaks and promoting proper fore/aft yoke action during suspension travel.

Every yoke is 100 percent leak-tested, with the seal plug O.D. ground for superior sealing performance and air-tested to 40 PSI. This attention to detail eliminates common comeback complaints like transmission leaks, NVH issues, and driveline clunking or shudder. Whether you're building a street car, street rod, drag machine, or dirt oval racer, this slip yoke delivers superior strength and durability for high horsepower and torque capacity applications.

This 31-spline slip yoke fits a variety of applications including TREMEC TKO-500, TKO-600, TKX, T56 Magnum, Ford C6, and FMX transmissions, as well as some T56 units. Always verify your transmission's output shaft spline count and style before ordering. Made in the USA.

Description

Upgrading to a TREMEC transmission puts serious torque capacity in your drivetrain, but your existing slip yoke often becomes the weak link. TREMEC TKO, TKX, and Magnum transmissions all feature a 31-spline output shaft that requires a matching slip yoke to handle the increased power these transmissions deliver. This MDL slip yoke solves that problem with cast steel construction and 1350 series U-joint capacity.

The 31-spline output shaft on TREMEC performance transmissions uses the same diameter as Ford C6 automatics—a proven design that has been handling serious torque for decades. The 1350 series U-joint provides a 1-3/16" cap diameter and 3.625" overall width, delivering significantly more strength than the smaller 1310 series joints found in many factory drivelines. When you're pushing 600 lb-ft of torque capacity through a TKO or TKX, you need driveline components that can keep up.

This slip yoke is designed for Ford applications but works with any TREMEC transmission featuring the standard 31-spline output shaft, including the TKO-500, TKO-600, TKX, and T56 Magnum. Whether you're building a street machine that sees weekend abuse or a dedicated track car, this yoke provides the strength and reliability your upgraded drivetrain demands.

What's Included

• 31-spline cast steel slip yoke
• 1350 series U-joint (1-3/16" bearing caps, 3.625" width)

Key Features

• Forged chromoly construction delivers superior strength over cast factory yokes
• 31-spline configuration fits TREMEC TKX, TKO-500, TKO-600, T56 Magnum, plus Ford C6 and FMX automatics
• 1350 series U-joint with 1-3/16" caps handles higher torque loads than 1330 series
• Precision-machined for exceptional balance and minimal runout
• 100% leak-tested and air-tested to 40 psi for optimum sealing
• O.D. ground seal journal ensures uniform contact and prevents leaks
• 6.440" centerline-to-end length with 1.685" barrel diameter
• Outside snap ring style U-joint retention

Description

Converting to a modern TREMEC transmission demands a slip yoke that won't become the weak link in your drivetrain. Factory cast yokes are prone to spline twisting and failure under the torque output of high-performance engines. This Sonnax forged chromoly slip yoke is engineered to handle serious power without compromise, making it the go-to upgrade for street, strip, and track applications.

Sonnax slip yokes are forged, not cast, for greater strength, and they undergo a precision-machining process to guarantee exceptional balance and minimal runout. The 1350 series U-joint capability provides a significant strength upgrade over 1330 applications--crucial for builds pushing serious horsepower. With a 3-5/8" U-joint width and 1-3/16" caps, the 1350 series delivers the torque capacity needed for modern high-output engines.

Every yoke is 100% leak-tested with the seal plug O.D. ground for superior seal, then air-tested to 40 psi to ensure optimum sealing. The smooth outer journal ensures uniform contact with the transmission seal, preventing leaks while promoting proper slip action during suspension travel. This attention to detail eliminates the fluid weeping common with lesser yokes.

This 31-spline configuration directly fits TREMEC TKX, TKO-500, TKO-600, and T56 Magnum transmissions, as well as Ford C6 and FMX automatics, Ford Toploader 4-speeds, and ZF 5-speed transmissions. Whether you're building a restomod, pro-touring car, or weekend warrior, this Sonnax slip yoke delivers the strength and durability your drivetrain demands.
