Description

Transform your Ford Y-block truck from its original manual transmission to a modern 5-speed overdrive with this complete T5 conversion package. Ford Y-block engines powered F-100 and F-series trucks from 1954 through 1964, and this package delivers the perfect transmission upgrade for these legendary mills. The TREMEC T5 is the smallest and lightest transmission in their lineup, making it ideal for Y-block truck applications where space is at a premium and weight savings matter.

This T5-Z specification features a 2.95:1 first gear and 0.63:1 overdrive (optional 0.73:1 overdrive available), delivering strong acceleration off the line and significant RPM reduction at highway speeds. Lower RPMs mean better fuel economy, reduced engine temperatures, and a quieter driving experience. The deep overdrive gear transforms highway driving characteristics, allowing your Y-block to cruise comfortably at modern speeds while preserving engine life.

Every component in this package is specifically selected for Y-block compatibility and performance. The guided selection process walks you through transmission options (front-shift forward or reverse pattern), custom shifters, transmission adapters, clutch sets, speedometer solutions, shift knobs and boots, transmission mounts, and driveshaft yokes. MDL has developed partnerships with the best manufacturers in the industry to provide the highest-level products available. Whether you're building a street cruiser or a weekend driver, this package provides the foundation for a reliable, enjoyable driving experience.

Professional concierge service is available throughout the selection process - contact MDL for expert guidance on part selection tailored to your specific project and budget. Like all TREMEC aftermarket transmissions, the T5 is built from 100% brand-new OEM-quality components and carries full manufacturer warranty coverage. Requires 2.75 quarts of ATF Dexron III fluid.
