Description
This TREMEC TKX transmission package is designed for the 82-93 Ford Mustang Foxbody’s equipped with a SBF engine and manual transmission combination making 650hp or less. Included in this kit is everything to correctly swap out your Borg Warner / Tremec T5 manual transmission to a new Tremec TKX 5-Speed transmission. In this kit you will be able to reuse your current bellhousing block plate, flywheel, flywheel bolts, bellhousing to block hardware, starter, shifter handle (handle may have to be drilled out to 3/8″ bolt pattern), shift knob, exhaust mid-pipe hanger, and driveshaft. The driveshaft will remain the same length (just change out the yoke). Your factory manual transmission harness (reverse lights, mechanical speedo, and neutral sensing harness) will unplug from the current T5 transmission and will connect directly to the new TKX transmission. NOTE: It is highly recommend to have or use a billet steel or aluminum flywheel with this package. Using the factory cast iron flywheel may cause damage to the clutch disc.
- NOTE: Factory automatic 79-93 Mustang’s, an underdash MalWood hydraulic clutch pedal assembly kit – HMS-MUS-79-93-AUTO is available to make this package 100% compatible.
This complete manual transmission package features the proven Tremec TKX 5-speed transmission, which can- handle up to 600 lb-ft. of torque. Widely known as the most popular and versatile 5-speed transmission in the industry, the TKX features multiple shifter locations and both manual and electronic speedometer pick ups. The 3-rail internal shift mechanism provides a solid, stout shift every time.

TREMEC TKX 5-Speed Manual Transmission
For the development of the new transmission, TREMEC engineers took a forward-looking approach to finding the best and most efficient solution. This included universal packaging, excellent shifting performance, and extreme durability.
The end result is superior shift-ability with smooth shifts at high RPMs through the use of multi-cone synchronizers and hybrid synchronizer rings. At the same time, noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) performance is optimized with a gear layout to best control stress levels, while providing structural stiffness with a ribbed, 3-piece aluminum housing. Durability is further optimized with oversized gear widths, gaskets at all flanges and caged needle bearings in all gear positions.
Whether restoring or upgrading a classic muscle car or a 1930s-era roadster coupe, the new TREMEC TKX 5-speed RWD manual transmission delivers a top-quality drivetrain solution.
- The TKX has 600 lb.-ft. of torque capacity and is capable of engines speeds of 8,000 RPMs with shifts at 7,500 RPMs.
- Designed for multiple applications with three shifter locations. Compact, end-loaded design provides clearance in most transmission tunnels without floor modifications.
- Increased case strength with three-piece aluminum housing provides outstanding structural stiffness (includes main case, intermediate plate and rear extension). Gaskets at all flanges simplifies installation and eliminates fluid leaks.
- Superior shift-ability through use of multi-cone synchronizers and hybrid synchronizer rings made of sintered bronze and carbon
- Noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) minimized with gear layout to best control stress levels. All gears supported by caged needle bearings to reduce end play on the gears.
- All gears and shafts made from special grade steel (ASTM 4615) providing increased torque carrying capacity.
- Equipped with a high-performance short-throw billet aluminum shifter that isolates road noise, while providing clean, crisp shifts.
- Robust design with internal three-rail shift system and steel shift forks.
- Wide gear width increases gear life and torque capacity.
- 26-spline input shaft with a 31-spline output shaft for added strength.
- Built-in reverse light switch and cruise control safety switch.
