TREMEC is pleased to announce the release of the new TKX, a 5-speed RWD manual transmission developed solely for the aftermarket.

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.

General product details:

* Bolts up to a standard Ford Toploader bellhousing or use a Quicktime bellhousing
* Input Shaft: 26-Spline (requires 26-spline clutch disc)
* Output Shaft: 31 Spline
* The TKX has 600 lbs.-ft. of torque capacity and is capable of engines speeds of 8,000 rpm with shifts at 7,500 rpm. It is available in multiple gear ratio configurations.
* Designed for multiple applications with three shifter locations. Compact, end-loaded design provides clearance in most transmission tunnels without floor
* Increased case strength with 3-piece aluminum housing provides outstanding structural stiffness (includes main case, intermediate plate and rear extension). Gaskets at all flanges simplifies installation and eliminates fluid
* 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 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
* Equipped with a high performance short-throw billet aluminum shifter that isolates road noise, while providing clean, crisp
* Robust design with internal 3-rail shift system and steel shift
* Wide gear width increases gear life and torque
* Built-in reverse light switch and cruise control safety

RTS OE Style cast aluminum bellhousings connect Chevy small, big block, and LS engines to transmissions utilizing the standard GM pattern such as the Muncie, Saginaw, Borg Warner T10 and Tremec TKX or TKO transmissions. The bellhousings are designed for both GM cars or trucks and other manufacturers where swap applications are being installed.

Features:

• Lightweight cast aluminum design similar to the original equipment bellhousings
• Lower cost non-SFI rated option for projects that do not require a steel SFI rated unit
• A356-T6 Cast Aluminum
• Designed For Hydraulic and Mechanical Fork Throwout Bearing Linkage
• Bellhousing Depth: 6.45 in
• Clutch Fork Opening: 2.125 In X 3.3 In
• Transmission Bore Diameter: 4.684 In
• No hardware included
