We have a complete package to put the Tremec TKX behind Small Block Ford (289, 302, 351W) V8.  We can also supply packages for other Ford V8 but may not carry these in stock.  Built to handle 600lb/ft of torque the updated transmissions benefit from accommodation for different shifter locations, provision for mechanical and electronic speedometer pick up, reverse lamp and neutral safety switches and a high performance, billet aluminium short throw shifter.  This shifter isolates road noise whilst providing a clean crisp feel together with a unique biasing system, which is adjustable for personal preference.
In order to achieve the increased torque capacity, the manufacturers now use a higher grade alloy steel (4615) on all gears and shafts, have increased the diameter on the output shaft to a 31 spline, and eliminated the woodruff keys on the countershaft by going to a one-piece design from the previous three piece.  The shift forks were also completely redesigned and are now all made from cast iron and use a three-pad contact system -virtually eliminating any deflection.

Ratios are:
1st 1:2.87
2nd 1:1.89
3rd 1:1.28
4th 1:1.00
5th 1:0.81
Rev 1:2.56

We also have the option for fifth gear with 0.68.  The 0.81 tends to be favoured for road race style and the 0.68 for lazier 5th gear with low revs.

Our transmission package is complete with all parts to install a manual transmission behind Small Block Ford V8 engines.  This package can be specified to suit either the 28oz or 50oz  (1984 & on 302) small block Ford V8 (289, 302, 351W & 351C all with 6 bolt bellhousing pattern) producing up to 400HP for street use .  The billet flywheel supplied in this package is external balance 157 teeth (check that your starter motor will accept this).  The package includes a billet slave cylinder for use with most ¾” bore slave cylinders.  The clutch fork will also accept cable operation.
