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

Stock TKX shifter placement doesn't work for every build -- especially trucks where floor height, console clearance, and driver ergonomics demand a different solution. MDL's modified TREMEC TKX with integrated front mount short body shifter solves this by relocating the shifter stub into the optimal OE-style position specifically engineered for truck applications. This isn't a bolt-on aftermarket shifter -- it's a complete transmission upgrade where the shifter mechanism becomes an integral part of the unit, precision-machined and assembled at MDL's facility in Caldwell, Idaho.

The foundation is TREMEC's TKX platform -- the slimmest high-capacity 5-speed on the market, designed from the ground up for aftermarket applications. The close-ratio gear set (2.87, 1.89, 1.28, 1.00, 0.81) keeps the engine in its powerband during aggressive driving, while the 600 lb-ft torque capacity handles serious horsepower. Multi-cone synchronizers with sintered carbon/bronze hybrid rings deliver smooth, precise shifts even at 7,500 RPM. The compact end-loaded design fits most transmission tunnels without modification, and the three-piece ribbed aluminum housing provides the structural stiffness needed for high-stress applications.

Every internal component is built for durability: ASTM 4615 special-grade steel gears and shafts, a single-piece countershaft for increased torque capacity, oversized gear widths, and caged needle bearings in all gear positions. Tapered roller bearings on the input, output, and countershafts reduce noise and improve performance, while the rear mainshaft support bushing has been relocated closer to the gearbox for better support. Gaskets at all mating surfaces eliminate leaks and simplify installation.

This Ford-pattern TKX features a 26-spline input shaft, 31-spline output shaft, and includes both mechanical speedometer output (7-tooth drive gear) and electronic speedometer capability via a 17-tooth reluctor wheel with OSS two-wire analog sensor. Fluid capacity is 2.7 quarts -- accepts Dexron III ATF, TREMEC HP-MTF, Amsoil ATF, or Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF. Not available through TREMEC -- this is an MDL-exclusive modification. Backed by MDL's extended manufacturer warranty (one extra year with a 1-year grace period) and lifetime technical support.

Description

When your truck shifter lands in the wrong spot, the whole driving experience suffers. This MDL-exclusive Ford TKX solves that problem with a custom straight up offset shift stub that repositions your shifter exactly where it belongs for perfect ergonomics. The slimline shift body clears stock shifter holes without cutting the floor, taking all the guesswork and hassle out of shifter placement. This is not available through TREMEC -- it is an MDL exclusive modification.

The TKX represents TREMEC's ground-up redesign of the five-speed platform, engineered specifically for the aftermarket. Enhanced gear sizes and revised double-lined carbon-fiber synchronizer packages eliminate the stiff, notched shifter feel of older designs while enabling safe shifts at 7,500 RPM and engine speeds up to 8,000 RPM. Durability comes from oversized gear widths, gaskets at all flanges, caged needle bearings in all gear positions, and a ribbed three-piece aluminum housing that delivers outstanding structural stiffness.

The compact end-loading case design provides superior clearance in narrow transmission tunnels -- TREMEC specifically engineered this case profile to fit tight classic car tunnels without floor modifications. Close-ratio gearing (3.27 first through 0.72 overdrive) delivers strong acceleration with highway-friendly cruising RPMs. The 31-spline output shaft accepts Ford C6-style slip yokes for straightforward driveshaft fitment.

Uses TREMEC High Performance Manual Transmission Fluid, Dexron-III, GM Synchromesh, Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF, or Pennzoil Synchromesh. Utilizes the Ford TKO bolt pattern for direct compatibility with Ford wide pattern bellhousings. Made in the USA.

Description

Upgrading a Ford small block to a modern TREMEC 5-speed shouldn't require a stack of adapters and custom machining. This aluminum bellhousing provides direct bolt-on fitment between 6-bolt Ford small block V8 engines and TREMEC's entire 5-speed lineup - the TKX, TKO, TKO-500, TKO-600, and TR-3550 - with no modifications required. It's also a stock replacement for the '79-'82 Mustang SROD 4-speed bellhousing (OE part D9ZC-6394-BA), making it ideal for both TREMEC upgrades and period-correct restorations.

Cast aluminum construction keeps weight manageable while delivering the strength needed for street performance builds. The 4.850-inch register bore and 157 tooth flywheel compatibility ensure proper geometry with your diaphragm-style clutch setup. The factory-installed pivot ball stud provides the precise mounting point for clutch fork actuation, eliminating guesswork during assembly.

Versatile clutch actuation options make this bellhousing work with virtually any build direction. Cable-actuated systems connect directly, while hydraulic setups - whether running internal or external slave cylinders - mount without modification. Mechanical linkage conversions are also supported; pair with MDL fulcrum adapters for proper geometry. A matching block plate (MD-401-1106) completes the installation.

This bellhousing is designed for street cruising applications under 500 horsepower. For racing or builds exceeding 500hp, a steel scatter shield bellhousing is recommended for safety. Compatible engines include Ford 289, 302, 351W, 351C, and 5.0L small blocks with the 6-bolt bellhousing pattern. Made in the USA.

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.

Kit Includes

• QuickTime RM-6060 steel bellhousing with black painted finish
• Full engine block plate
• Pivot ball

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.

Kit Includes

• QuickTime RM-6065 steel bellhousing with black finish
• Full engine block plate
• Pivot ball
• Fork brackets
• Grade 8 mounting hardware
• Installation instructions

Note: Transmission mounting bolts not included.

Key Features

• 0.080-inch thick steel construction -- equivalent to OEM Ford Racing M-7007-B specifications
• Clear zinc plating prevents rust and provides superior corrosion resistance versus unplated steel
• 6-bolt mounting pattern matches Ford Small Block engine configuration
• 157-tooth flywheel ring gear compatibility for T5, TKO, and TKX transmissions
• Positions starter to ensure proper starter drive to flywheel ring gear alignment
• Direct bolt-on installation -- no modifications required to engine block or bellhousing
• Works with MDL aluminum bellhousings MD-401-1101 (T5) and MD-401-1401 (TKO)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

• 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.

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

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).

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.

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

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

Description

When you need more holding power than a full-Kevlar disc can deliver but want to preserve some street manners, the Superior Kevlar/Ceramic clutch assembly is the answer. This hybrid design places Kevlar on the flywheel side for smooth engagement and extended life, while the ceramic facing on the pressure plate side delivers the aggressive bite and heat resistance demanded by drag launches and high-RPM road racing shifts. 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 26-spline, 1-1/8" hub fits transmissions like the TREMEC TKO, TKX, or any 26-spline T5 variant. The included cable-profile throw-out bearing also works with hydraulic release systems, giving you flexibility in your drivetrain setup.

Description

When you've built serious power but need a clutch that remains civilized on the street, the McLeod RST twin disc clutch kit delivers an economically priced solution for high-horsepower Ford applications. This kit solves the fundamental problem of single-disc clutches that either slip under power or become unbearably harsh for daily driving - without requiring you to purchase a new flywheel.

Capable of handling 800 horsepower, this clutch manages extreme power while remaining street-friendly. 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.

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.

Made in the USA from a manufacturer that has been producing quality shift knobs for decades.

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.

Perfect for street/strip builds, drag applications, or any 5-speed manual transmission setup where you need reliable switch control at your fingertips.

• Also fits Falcon conversions using MDL front-shift tailhousing or front-shift T5 packages

Description

When you swap from a factory four-speed to a modern T5, TKO, or TKX five-speed, the speedometer cable routing changes completely. These TREMEC transmissions position the mechanical speedometer drive on the driver's (left) side of the case, meaning your original cable won't reach - and trying to force an ill-fitting cable creates binding, premature wear, and inaccurate readings.

This application-specific speedometer cable solves that problem for '67-'68 Mustang and Cougar owners. The 5/8" barrel-style connector interfaces correctly with the Ford speedometer head, while the 63" overall length provides the reach needed for proper left-side routing without binding or excessive slack. The result is a clean installation that keeps your factory speedometer functioning accurately with your new overdrive transmission.

Beyond T5 and TKO/TKX manual swaps, this cable also works for AOD automatic conversions in '67-'68 Mustang and Cougar applications. Falcon owners converting to five-speed can use this cable when paired with MDL front-shift tailhousings or front-shift T5 packages. If you're upgrading to modern overdrive and want to keep your factory speedometer working, this is the cable that makes it happen.

What's Included

• Speedometer cable with 5/8" barrel connector (63" length)

Key Features

• 63" cable length engineered specifically for T5, TKO, TKX, and AOD transmission swaps

• Drop-in solution for five-speed and AOD conversions

Description

Swapping a T5, TKO, TKX, or AOD into your '69-'73 Mustang or Cougar means the stock speedometer cable won't reach or route correctly. This 63" speedometer cable delivers the correct length for proper routing from the transmission to your factory mechanical speedometer, eliminating the binding, kinking, or slack that comes with using a generic or incorrect-length cable.

The cable features OEM-style clip connections at the speedometer head, ensuring direct compatibility with your factory gauge cluster without modification. At the transmission end, the cable uses a Ford slip-in connection that interfaces with the driven gear housing on T5, TKO, TKX, and AOD transmissions. This is the correct cable for maintaining your mechanical speedometer function after a modern drivetrain swap.

Unlike screw-on or barrel-style cables used in other Mustang years, '69-'73 models require this clip-style termination. If you're running long-tube headers, consider wrapping the cable where it routes near the exhaust to protect it from heat.

What's Included

• 63" speedometer cable with clip-style speedometer connection
• Ford slip-in transmission connection

Key Features

• 83" overall length - application-specific sizing for 1965-1968 Mustang to Toploader routing

• OEM-style construction - maintains period-correct appearance and function for mechanical speedometers
• Direct replacement fitment - eliminates speedometer inaccuracy from worn or damaged cables

Description

Dead speedometers and inaccurate odometers almost always trace back to one failure point: the speedometer cable. When the inner cable breaks, binds, or wears out, your dash becomes useless for monitoring speed and mileage. This 83" speedometer cable delivers the exact length and connection type your 1965-1968 Mustang needs for proper Ford Toploader 4-speed interface.

The 5/8" screw-type connection threads directly into the Toploader's speedometer drive housing on the passenger side - exactly as Ford designed it. Mustang Toploaders feature the speedometer gear access hole on the passenger side of the transmission, and this cable is engineered specifically for that configuration. The driven gear mounts on the end of the cable and inserts into the transmission, where the drive gear on the output shaft spins it to turn your speedometer.

Unlike generic 80" cables that require awkward routing and extra securing points under the car, this 83" cable provides the correct length for clean, factory-style installation. The routing follows the passenger side of the transmission tunnel, maintaining appropriate bend radii that prevent binding and ensure smooth speedometer operation. When paired with the correct driven gear for your rear axle ratio and tire size, this cable restores accurate speed and mileage readings to your Mustang's instrument cluster.

Engineered specifically for Ford Toploader 4-speed transmissions in 1965-1968 Mustang applications. Direct replacement for original equipment cables that have failed due to age, wear, or damage. OEM style for mechanical gauges.

What's Included

• 83" speedometer cable assembly with inner cable and outer housing
• 5/8" screw-type transmission connection end

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

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.

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

• 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

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.
