Description

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

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

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

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

Description

The MDL Modified T5 with front position front socket location solves the space and gearing challenges of dropping overdrive into a Ford V8 flathead-powered '32 Ford. This custom front-shift configuration places the shifter socket just 11.75” from the main case front, positioning the lever exactly where you need it while the compact transmission platform tucks below the floor pan without cutting. The 2.95 first gear and deep 0.63 overdrive are geared correctly for flathead torque curves — strong launches without over-revving and relaxed highway cruising that drops RPMs, cuts noise, and extends engine life.

Built on TREMEC's proven T5z platform with Super-Duty upgrades, this transmission handles 330 ft-lb of torque — suitable for 450 hp streetcars on DOT-approved tires. Internal improvements include carbon fiber synchronizer rings on 3rd and 4th gears for smoother high-RPM shifts, Cobra-style pocket bearing for improved load distribution, a steel front bearing retainer for strength, and upgraded synchronizers and bearings throughout. The forward socket location makes this transmission ideal for hotrods and early Rangers where traditional shifter placement doesn't work.

An optional offset shift stub is available to fine-tune shifter position up to 2 inches forward or backward — contact MDL sales staff for details. The rear socket location option (13” from case front) is also available for '60–'65 Falcon and Comet applications. This transmission uses GM transmission mount MD-604-1102 (sold separately) and requires 2.75 quarts of ATF Dexron III. Ford speedometer drive with 7-tooth gear maintains accurate speed readings.

At approximately 75 pounds dry, the T5 is TREMEC's most compact transmission — fitting where others cannot while delivering smooth shifts, easy operation, and proven reliability backed by over 40 years of continuous development.

Description

Early Falcon owners and hot rod builders face a common problem: standard T5 shifter placement lands behind the seat or requires cutting through the floor support. MDL engineered this front shift T5 specifically to eliminate that headache. The proprietary dual-socket tail housing moves the shifter 6 inches forward compared to a standard T5 - the same forward location used in S-10 Chevy pickup applications. For 1960-1965 Falcon and Comet owners, this puts the shifter at exactly 13.00” from the front of the main case, allowing installation without modifying the floor support structure.

This isn't just a relocated shifter bolted to a stock transmission. MDL's Super-Duty T5 handles 330 ft-lb of torque - a significant upgrade over the standard 300 ft-lb rating. The World Class internals include carbon fiber 3-4 synchro rings, improved synchronizers and bearings throughout, plus a Cobra-style pocket bearing for enhanced input shaft support. The steel front bearing retainer adds durability where standard units use aluminum. At just 75 lbs dry, this remains the most compact overdrive manual transmission for space-constrained builds.

The 2.95 first gear delivers strong launches while the deep 0.63 overdrive drops engine RPM significantly on the highway - reducing wear, lowering temperatures, and improving fuel economy. An optional 0.73 overdrive is available for builders who want an even taller fifth gear. The transmission is configured for Ford mechanical speedometer operation with the included 7-tooth speedo gear and uses a GM-style transmission mount (MD-604-1102, sold separately).

Prime candidates include 1960-1965 Falcons, hot rods, street rods, trucks of all years, kit cars, and Shelby 289 Cobras where traditional rear shift placement creates packaging or ergonomic problems. This transmission requires 2.75 quarts of Dexron III ATF. An optional offset shifter is available to move shifter position back up to 2 inches if needed - contact sales for details.

Description

MDL's front shift T5 tail housings move the shifter pivot point forward for better ergonomics in classic builds - but that custom location means stock shifters won't work. The Qwik Stik solves that problem with a purpose-built short-throw design engineered specifically for MDL front shift applications.

The close-ratio geometry reduces throw distance for faster, more precise gear changes. A smaller top turret clears tunnel shifter openings that would bind larger units, eliminating the need for floor modifications. Billet aluminum construction sheds weight compared to cast alternatives while providing superior rigidity for a direct, mechanical feel at the lever.

Belleville washers replace conventional detent springs, delivering a crisp 2-3 shift feel that won't degrade over time. The no-stops design means there are no plastic components to break or replace - and when servicing is eventually needed, the Belleville spring system allows quick disassembly. The 7/8-inch on-center stub mounting accepts most aftermarket shift levers, giving you flexibility in handle and knob selection.

This shifter is compatible exclusively with the MD-510-1001 front shift T5 tail shaft housing or any MDL front shift T5 front position transmission. It will not work with standard shift position tail housings. Proudly crafted 100% in the USA with precision machining and anodized finish for durability.

Description

When you run an MDL front-shift T5 tail housing or convert a Mustang tail housing to front position using an MDL shift block, factory shifters put your hand in the wrong spot. The Qwik Stik Shifter solves this problem with a 1" or 1.5" forward offset that moves the stick back to factory-feel ergonomics while delivering short-throw performance.

Engineered specifically for MDL front-shift applications, the Qwik Stik uses a compact billet aluminum turret designed to clear tight floor openings where larger shifters won't fit. The close-ratio throw reduces shift travel for lightning-quick gear changes without sacrificing accuracy. Belleville washers create positive detent that locks each gear with authority, eliminating the vague feel of worn-out factory shifters.

The no-stops design is a key advantage: there are no plastic or metal stops to break or replace, and servicing the shifter is straightforward when needed. The 7/8" on-center mounting accepts most aftermarket shift levers, so you can finish the installation with your preferred lever, boot, and shift knob.

This shifter works exclusively with MDL MD-510-1001 front-shift T5 tail housings or any MDL front-position T5 transmission. It does not work with standard shift position tail housings. Made in the USA with lifetime technical support from MDL.

Description

Mating a Ford Y-Block to a modern 5-speed is one of the more challenging drivetrain swaps out there. The Y-Block's unique 4-bolt bellhousing pattern doesn't share bolt spacing with any other Ford engine family, leaving builders hunting for solutions that simply didn't exist until QuickTime engineered the RM-8055. This bellhousing connects your 239, 256, 272, 292, or 312 Y-Block V8 directly to a TKO 500/600, TKX, TR3550, or T5 Mustang transmission -- finally giving these '50s-era powerplants access to overdrive gearing and modern shift quality.

The strength advantage starts with QuickTime's proprietary manufacturing process. Where competitors roll or stamp their cones, QuickTime spins theirs from high-grade steel that work hardens to over 80,000 PSI -- delivering more than twice the strength of other steel bellhousings. That spun cone construction also makes the RM-8055 the most dimensionally stable bellhousing available. The engine and transmission stay in perfect alignment through the entire RPM range, eliminating the drivetrain wear caused by bellhousing flex under hard launches or high-RPM operation.

The RM-8055 features a 6.925-inch height optimized for the Y-Block's rear engine layout, with a universal 4.910/4.850-inch transmission bore that accommodates the full range of Ford-pattern TREMEC and T5 transmissions. The design supports both mechanical clutch linkage (pivot ball and fork brackets included) and hydraulic throwout bearing setups, giving you flexibility in your clutch system approach. SFI certification means this bellhousing meets the safety standards required by most racing sanctioning bodies.

Important fitment note: The Y-Block requires MDL's dedicated billet steel flywheel (MD-LBS-Yblock) with 164-tooth ring gear and Y-Block crank bolt pattern. This flywheel is double-drilled for both 10.4-inch metric and 11-inch Ford clutch patterns. You'll also need a 4.6L/5.4L modular starter motor (see PN MD-700-1008) due to the 164-tooth ring gear and bellhousing geometry. Proudly made in the USA.

What's Included

Description

Finding proper flywheel-to-bellhousing fitment is one of the biggest hurdles when swapping a modern manual transmission behind Ford's legendary Y-Block V8. This lightened billet steel flywheel is purpose-built for builders running QuickTime RM-8055 or RM-8056 bellhousings, providing the correct register fit, ring gear tooth count, and clutch pattern compatibility to complete your Y-Block transmission conversion.

The billet steel construction delivers significant weight savings over factory cast iron flywheels, trimming rotating mass to just 30 pounds. Less rotational inertia means quicker throttle response, faster rev transitions, and reduced strain on the clutch during aggressive shifts. The lightened design retains the strength and heat dissipation characteristics that billet steel provides - critical for builds that see repeated high-RPM clutch engagement.

Compatibility covers the full range of Y-Block applications, from the early 239 cubic inch through the 256, 272, 292, and 312 variants. The flywheel accepts both 10.4" metric clutch patterns (with locating pins) and 11" long patterns, giving you flexibility in pressure plate selection. Zero balance configuration means you don't need to match heavy spot orientation - a major convenience when building or refreshing a rotating assembly.

The 164-tooth ring gear meshes properly with the bellhousing starter pocket geometry of QuickTime's Y-Block bellhousings for TKO, TKX, T5, TR3550, and Toploader transmissions. If you're building a Y-Block-powered classic with a modern 5-speed, this is the flywheel engineered to fit. Made in the USA with precision machining throughout.

Description

Ford's '86-'95 Mustang 5.0L introduced the metric clutch system, and that unique bolt pattern stops plenty of builders in their tracks. This MDL Superior clutch set solves the fitment puzzle with a complete kit engineered specifically for the 10.4" metric bolt pattern with integral dowel pins found on these applications.

The diaphragm-style pressure plate sits at the heart of this kit, providing even clamping pressure across the entire friction surface. Unlike long-style clutches that rely on coil springs, the diaphragm design eliminates hot spots and maintains consistent pedal feel throughout the disc's service life. The organic/organic friction material delivers the smooth, progressive engagement that daily drivers and weekend cruisers demand--no grabby on-off engagement that makes stop-and-go traffic miserable.

The sprung hub construction dampens torsional vibration between the engine and transmission, protecting synchronizers and reducing gear rattle at idle. With a 225 lb-ft torque rating, there's headroom for bolt-on modifications while maintaining streetable manners. The 10 x 1-1/16" splined hub fits stock 10-spline input shafts found in factory T-5 transmissions.

Compatible with 1986-1995 5.0L applications using cable-actuated throwout bearings. Every Superior clutch kit is hand-assembled at MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility and inspected before shipping. Made in the USA.

Description

This Superior clutch set delivers the ideal balance between holding power and street driveability for Ford applications using the 10.4" metric bolt pattern. The hybrid facing configuration puts Kevlar on the flywheel side for increased grip and heat resistance, while the organic facing on the pressure plate side ensures smooth, progressive engagement without the chatter associated with aggressive racing clutches. This combination makes the clutch ideal for Performance Street Plus applications where you need 300 lb-ft torque capacity without sacrificing daily-driver manners.

The engineering behind this facing combination is deliberate. Kevlar provides approximately twice the service life of standard organic materials while maintaining excellent heat dissipation characteristics. Pairing it with organic on the opposite side moderates engagement behavior, giving you confidence at stoplights and in parking lots while still delivering when you need to put the power down. The sprung hub design further smooths engagement and absorbs drivetrain shock.

MDL's Superior line clutches are hand-assembled in-house rather than mass-produced overseas. Every disc is double-riveted and inspected for exacting tolerances before it goes in the box. The included cable-style throwout bearing, pilot bearing, and alignment tool mean you have everything needed for a complete installation. The diaphragm pressure plate uses 8mm metric fasteners with three alignment dowels in the Ford 10.4" metric pattern.

Description

When you need more holding power than stock but refuse to give up street manners, the Superior Kevlar/Organic clutch set delivers. This dual-material design pairs Kevlar on the pressure plate side with steel-backed organic facing on the flywheel side--a deliberate engineering choice that exploits the strengths of both materials. Kevlar's coefficient of friction actually increases with temperature, meaning the harder you drive it, the better it grips. The organic side provides the smooth, progressive engagement that keeps this clutch civilized in traffic.

Rated at 450 ft-lbs for Performance Street Plus applications, this clutch handles the demands of modified 5.0L engines, bolt-on power adders, and weekend track days without the harsh pedal feel or chatter of full-race setups. The sprung hub dampens engagement shock that would otherwise stress your transmission and driveshaft, while the diaphragm-style pressure plate delivers consistent clamping force through the full range of pedal travel.

The 10.4" metric pattern uses 8mm pressure plate bolts--a critical distinction from the SAE-thread 10.5" pattern found on GM and some Ford applications. This kit is purpose-built for Ford applications requiring a 1-1/16" x 10-spline input shaft and cable clutch actuation. Every Superior clutch is hand-assembled at MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility and double-checked for accuracy before it leaves the shop.

Description

Finding a quality clutch kit for Ford's 10.4" metric bolt pattern that actually meets the tolerances a performance build demands isn't easy. Mass-produced clutches cut corners on QC, leaving you to discover runout or engagement problems after the bellhousing is bolted up. The MDL Superior clutch line eliminates that gamble -- every disc is hand-assembled at MDL's Idaho facility and double-checked for accuracy before it ships.

This kit uses full Kevlar facings on both the flywheel and pressure plate sides of the disc. Kevlar delivers aggressive initial bite without the chatter and harsh engagement of ceramic compounds, making it ideal for performance street and open-track applications where you still want a streetable pedal. The sprung hub absorbs drivetrain shock loads and dampens harmonics that solid hubs transmit straight to the transmission.

The 10-spline x 1-1/16" hub matches factory Ford T-5, 3550, TKO, and TKX input shafts. The included throw-out bearing features a cable profile that also works with hydraulic actuation systems -- critical flexibility when you're upgrading from a factory cable setup or running a hydro conversion. The metric pressure plate bolts up with 8mm fasteners and alignment dowels to Ford 5.0L HO flywheels from '86-'95 applications.

Performance Proven means this clutch has survived the rigorous demands of racing on and off the track. Made in the USA and backed by a 1-year free-from-defect warranty.

What's Included

• 10.4" diaphragm pressure plate with metric bolt pattern
• Kevlar/Kevlar faced clutch disc with 10-spline x 1-1/16" sprung hub
• Cable/hydraulic compatible throw-out bearing

Pressure Plate Bolt Kit | 5/16"-18 x 3/4" | Set of 6

Key Features

• 5/16"-18 thread pitch with 3/4" under-head length
• Complete six-bolt set for standard pressure plate mounting
• Universal fitment for Ford, GM, and Mopar applications using 5/16" hardware
• Critical safety hardware for reliable clutch assembly retention
• Backed by manufacturer's warranty against defects

Description

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

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

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

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

Description

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

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

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

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

Description

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.

Key Features

• 16-tooth driven gear corrects speedometer accuracy for Ford manual transmission swaps
• Wine color coding for easy tooth count identification during installation and service
• Direct fit for Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions
• Precision-molded construction for smooth, reliable operation

Description

When you swap to a 5- or 6-speed transmission, your original speedometer gear won't work with the new final drive ratio, throwing off your speedometer readings. This 16-tooth driven gear provides the correct gear ratio match to restore accurate speedometer operation in Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum applications.

Selecting the correct driven gear depends on your rear axle ratio and tire diameter. The wine-colored housing provides instant visual confirmation of the 16-tooth count during installation and future service, eliminating guesswork when fine-tuning your speedometer calibration. Each tooth change adjusts the speedometer reading approximately 4-5 mph, so selecting the right gear for your combination is critical.

This is the correct driven gear for all Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions. Whether you're building a street machine that sees daily driving or a weekend cruiser that needs reliable instrumentation, this precision-molded gear delivers smooth, accurate speedometer operation mile after mile.

What's Included

• 16-tooth speedometer driven gear with wine-colored housing

Key Features

• 17-tooth driven gear with white color coding for easy identification
• Direct fit for Ford TREMEC transmissions: T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum
• Precision-molded plastic construction for smooth, quiet operation
• Lower tooth count for higher axle ratios and/or taller tires
• Works with cable-driven mechanical speedometer systems

Description

Swapping to a 5 or 6-speed TREMEC transmission changes your final drive ratio, which means your factory speedometer gear combination no longer reads accurately. This 17-tooth white driven gear lets you recalibrate your mechanical speedometer to match your new drivetrain setup.

Speedometer driven gear selection depends on four variables: drive gear tooth count (on the output shaft), driven gear tooth count, tire diameter, and axle ratio. The 17-tooth count is typically paired with lower-numerical axle ratios or taller tires. Use a speedometer gear calculator to determine the correct tooth count for your specific combination of drive gear, rear end ratio, and tire height.

The white color coding makes this gear instantly identifiable, both in your parts bin and during installation. This precision-molded plastic gear meshes smoothly with the transmission's output shaft drive gear, delivering reliable operation without the noise or wear issues that can plague poorly-manufactured replacements.

This driven gear fits all Ford TREMEC transmissions including T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum. Whether you're building a classic Mustang, Fairlane, or any Ford platform with a mechanical speedometer, this gear helps dial in accurate speed readings after your manual transmission conversion.

Kit Includes

• 17-tooth speedometer driven gear, white plastic

Speedometer Driven Gear | Ford T5/T45/TKO/TKX/Magnum | 18-Tooth Yellow

Key Features

• 18-tooth driven gear for speedometer calibration on Ford-pattern transmissions
• Yellow color-coded for quick identification during installation and service
• Fits Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions
• Precision molded for accurate tooth engagement and long service life
• Direct replacement--installs into existing speedometer drive housing without modification

Description

When you swap in a 5- or 6-speed manual transmission, your factory speedometer gear ratio goes out the window. The new transmission's final drive ratio won't mesh with your original speedo gear, leaving your speedometer reading inaccurately--sometimes wildly so. This 18-tooth yellow driven gear lets you dial in the correct speedometer calibration for your specific tire size and rear axle ratio combination.

This driven gear fits the full range of Ford-pattern TREMEC transmissions: T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum. The industry-standard yellow color coding makes identification simple--no guessing which tooth count you're running when it's time for service or recalibration after a gear ratio change. The precision-molded construction ensures consistent tooth engagement with the drive gear for accurate, reliable speedometer readings mile after mile.

Installation is straightforward--the gear slides directly into the transmission's speedometer drive housing. If your speedometer calibration calculations call for more than 21 teeth (the maximum available driven gear size), you'll need to reduce the drive gear tooth count instead. Use a speedometer gear calculator with your tire diameter, axle ratio, and transmission drive gear tooth count to determine the correct driven gear for your application.

Kit Includes

• 18-tooth yellow speedometer driven gear

Key Features

• 19-tooth driven gear for precise speedometer calibration
• Pink color-coded for instant tooth count identification
• Fits Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and TREMEC T56 Magnum transmissions
• Essential for correcting speedometer accuracy after gear ratio or tire size changes
• Precision molded construction for reliable, long-lasting operation

Description

When you swap transmissions, change rear axle ratios, or bolt on different tire sizes, your speedometer no longer reads correctly. This 19-tooth driven gear lets you recalibrate for accurate readings by changing the gear ratio between your transmission's output and the speedometer cable. It's the driven gear -- the one that mounts to the speedometer cable end and inserts into the transmission tailhousing.

The pink color follows Ford's standardized identification system, making it easy to confirm the tooth count at a glance when you're sorting through your parts bin or comparing against your current setup. If your speedometer reads too fast with your current gear, stepping up to this 19-tooth unit will slow the reading. Each additional tooth changes the speedometer reading by approximately 5-6%. If you need an even higher tooth count, 21-tooth is the largest available in the driven gear; beyond that, you'll need to reduce the drive gear size instead.

This gear fits all Ford T5, T45, and Ford T56 transmissions, as well as all TREMEC TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum units. Installation is straightforward: remove the speedometer cable from the tailhousing, swap the driven gear, and reinstall.

What's Included

• One 19-tooth speedometer driven gear (pink)

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

What's Included

• One 20-tooth driven speedometer gear (black)

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

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

Key Features

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

Description

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

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

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

What's Included

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

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
• 10-foot three-wire pigtail harness
• Allen-head mounting bolt

Description

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

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

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

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

What's Included

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

Key Features

• 28-spline output shaft fitment for Ford T5, C4, Toploader, AOD, and AODE transmissions
• 1310 series universal joint compatibility with 1-1/16" bearing caps

• Cast steel construction for durability in street and performance applications
• Intentionally missing spline tooth allows transmission oil to circulate freely
• Manufactured by Neapco to OEM specifications

Description

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

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

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

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