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

Finding a bellhousing that properly connects your Ford FE big block to a Ford Toploader or short shaft TKO/TKX transmission while maintaining the dimensional accuracy your drivetrain demands is a challenge solved by the QuickTime RM-6057 steel bellhousing. QuickTime's unique spin-forming manufacturing process -- not rolled or stamped like inferior alternatives -- creates the most dimensionally stable bellhousing on the market, keeping your engine and transmission in perfect alignment through the entire RPM range and eliminating the accelerated drivetrain wear caused by bellhousing flex.

Built from high-grade steel that work-hardens to over 80,000 PSI during the spin-forming process, this bellhousing delivers more than twice the strength of other steel bellhousings while remaining lightweight at just 22 pounds. The result is maximum protection without adding unnecessary weight to your build. Multiple transmission bore sizes (4.685", 4.850", 4.910", and 5.120") ensure precise alignment with your specific transmission, reducing drivetrain wear and maximizing power transfer to the wheels.

This bellhousing connects Ford FE engines including 332, 352, 360, 390, 406, 410, 427, and 428 cubic inch variants to early Ford Toploader, Borg Warner T10, and TKO 500/600 short shaft transmissions. With a 6.425-inch depth, it clears 184-tooth flywheels and 12-inch clutches while maintaining compact overall dimensions for tight engine bay installations. Universal shifter fork brackets are included for both diaphragm and cable-operated clutch linkage, giving you flexibility in your clutch actuation setup.

QuickTime, founded by former dirt track racer Ross McCombs, developed this bellhousing technology from the demands of racing where inferior bellhousings simply couldn't survive. Note that this bellhousing is not SFI certified, which is required by many sanctioning bodies for cars running 11.49 or faster in the quarter mile -- for SFI-rated applications, see the RM-6057SFI. This is a universal-fit bellhousing and is not vehicle-specific, making it ideal for custom builds, engine swaps, and restoration projects. Backed by 16 patented points of bellhousing design and manufacturing process, and 100% built 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.

Description

Factory rubber and plastic clutch hoses expand under pressure, robbing pedal feel and introducing sponginess into your hydraulic system. This 16-inch stainless steel braided hydraulic line eliminates that problem with a PTFE inner tube reinforced by 308 stainless steel outer braid that resists expansion, heat, and abrasion far better than OEM hoses.

The smooth-bore PTFE lining handles temperatures from -65 degrees F to 450 degrees F, making this line ideal for high-heat underhood and racing environments where standard rubber fails. The clear protective coating over the stainless braid prevents snagging, protects against abrasion, and delivers a clean finished appearance while still allowing visual inspection of the line.

Stainless steel -4AN female straight fittings are permanently crimped on both ends for leak-free connections to master cylinders, slave cylinders, and clutch hydraulic components. The 1/4-inch inner diameter is sized correctly for hydraulic clutch systems, providing proper fluid flow without restriction.

Every line is pressure tested before shipping to ensure reliability in your build. Whether you are doing a transmission swap, upgrading from a cable clutch to hydraulic, or replacing worn factory lines, this USA-made hydraulic line delivers the firm pedal feel and durability that serious builds demand.

Description

External slave cylinders create clearance headaches and bellhousing compatibility issues that derail Ford TKO and TKX swaps. The Tilton 6000 Series Hydraulic Release Bearing eliminates those problems entirely. This internal hydraulic design slips directly over the transmission's bearing retainer - no machining, no adapter plates, no fighting for space. The result is a clean installation that works with most bellhousings, including original 4-speed and big block bells that external slaves can't accommodate.

Tilton builds this bearing to race-proven standards. The billet aluminum body and piston are precision-machined in-house at Tilton Engineering, then fitted with a high-temperature mono-seal that incorporates a quad tensioner to maintain proper seal tension under extreme conditions. The constant contact design keeps the bearing face against the pressure plate fingers at all times - no gap to manage, no adjustment as the clutch wears. Pedal feel stays consistent from fresh install through the clutch's entire service life.

The stainless steel threaded adjustment sleeve delivers nearly 1.25" of height adjustability, accommodating bearing heights from 1.77" to 3.00" to work with a wide range of clutch configurations.

Description

Ford's 385-series big blocks--the 429 and 460--were designed as luxury-car torque monsters, but builders have been putting manual transmissions behind them for decades. The challenge? Finding a clutch that can handle serious torque without requiring a leg press workout at every stoplight. This Superior Series Big Block Change Over clutch kit delivers 650 ft-lbs of torque capacity through an 11.5" long pattern diaphragm pressure plate, giving you the clamping force needed for high-power street and strip duty while keeping pedal effort manageable in hydraulic release setups.

The hybrid friction material strategy is engineered for optimal performance and longevity. Kevlar on the pressure plate side handles initial engagement heat and provides excellent fade resistance under hard use, while the steel-backed organic facing on the flywheel side delivers smooth, progressive engagement for streetable manners. This combination gives you the best of both worlds--aggressive holding power when you need it, civilized behavior when you don't. The profiled clutch fingers ensure even pressure distribution across the entire friction surface.

Every MDL Superior clutch disk is hand-assembled in-house to exacting tolerances. Double-riveted construction ensures the facings stay put under repeated high-load cycles, and each assembly is inspected before it goes in the box.

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)

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

What's Included

• One 20-tooth driven speedometer gear (black)

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

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

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

What's Included

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

Key Features

• Converts clockwise cable rotation to counterclockwise for authentic Smiths reverse-rotation speedometers
• Right-angle design solves tight cable routing constraints behind Cobra dash panels
• Direct mount to original Smiths speedometer housing - no modifications required
• Precision-machined internals ensure accurate speed readings with zero calibration drift
• Compact 3-ounce unit fits restrictive Cobra cockpit spaces

Description

The Shelby Cobra's legendary reverse-rotation speedometer creates a unique challenge when installing modern transmissions or rebuilding with different cable drives. This adapter mounts directly behind the Smiths speedometer and provides both right-angle turn and reverse rotation, solving two critical fitment issues in one precision-machined unit.

Original Cobras used an anticlockwise speedometer as a cost-reduction measure - eliminating the need for a separate reversing gearbox. When that original drivetrain setup is no longer available or you're building a continuation car with a modern transmission, this adapter restores authentic needle sweep. The 90-degree turn eliminates cable binding in tight quarters while the internal gearing reverses the drive direction, converting standard clockwise rotation to counterclockwise needle movement.

The precision internals maintain accurate speed readings across the full range without affecting odometer function. At just 3 ounces, it adds minimal weight behind the dash while handling all the mechanical conversion work. This is the correct solution for anyone running a period-correct Smiths gauge who needs to adapt their cable drive to match.

Designed for 1964-1967 Shelby Cobra roadsters as well as continuation cars and kit builds using original Smiths reverse-rotation speedometers. Compatible with all transmission types when the proper speedometer cable is used.

What's Included

• Precision-machined right-angle reverse drive adapter
• Full manufacturer's warranty

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.

Description

Maintaining proper driveline angle is critical for smooth operation, reduced vibration, and long-term drivetrain component life. Whether you're swapping to a modern overdrive transmission or replacing a worn-out factory mount, this precision-engineered transmission mount delivers OE-quality fit and durability for multiple Ford transmission applications.

The precision-welded steel bracket provides a solid, secure mounting point while the protective coating guards against corrosion over the long haul. Unlike polyurethane mounts that can transmit drivetrain vibration directly into the chassis and cabin, this mount uses a rubber insulator that effectively dampens vibration for a quieter, more comfortable driving experience. It's the factory-style approach for a reason.

This mount fits T5, TKO, TKX, and Ford Toploader 4-speed manual transmissions as well as C4 automatics. Application coverage includes mid-1960s and newer Ford vehicles plus 1977-up F-Series trucks. Requires MD-201-Mount 1101 hardware kit, sold separately.

Made with quality materials and precision manufacturing for applications demanding proper fit and reliability.

What's Included

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)
