Everything You Need to Bolt Up a Modern 5-Speed to Your 1986 and Up Engine Nothing says “muscle” like a manual shifter lever poking up through a car’s center console. “Rowing your own” is a rite of passage and a manual transmission is certainly the preferred transmission in the tunnel of a typical muscle car, hot rod, or even a souped up classic truck. That said, it isn’t always easy to figure out how to get a modern 5-speed (or 6-speed) manual bolted up to your engine of choice. Varying flywheel specs, engine balances, and more all create confusion as to what really fits and works best. That is why we have put together a whole series of small block Chevy manual transmission option conversion kits for the most popular engine applications in use today. We take the guesswork out of which clutch to buy, what length fasteners are needed, and so much more with each of our transmission installation kits. Each kit features a modern Tremec 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission, a steel bellhousing, performance clutch kit (disc, pressure plate, and flywheel), along with a hydraulic release bearing, pilot bearing, fasteners, and more to easily mate it to your favorite engine with no issues or forgotten parts. Simply add the appropriate transmission crossmember to your order and you’ll have everything you need to mount your transmission to your engine and into your chassis. Tremec’s TKX 5-Speed Manual Transmission Is Proven Tough with Versatile Shifter Options Our 1986-Up SBC manual transmission swap kit features the Tremec TKX 5-speed manual transmission as the main component. The TKX is extremely popular due to its end loading case design, which makes the overall dimensions of the transmission smaller. This allows for a better fit in a larger number of applications without having to modify the transmission tunnel of the vehicle. Furthermore, the three available shifter positions (two of which can use the included short throw billet shifter assembly simply by reversing the shifter body) allow for the shifter to use the stock shifter lever opening in your floor. Just add your choice of bolt-on shift lever. Dual speedometer pickups, one manual and one electric, means no matter what speedometer you are using you can easily connect it to the TKX. The TKX’s 600 lb-ft of torque capacity, coupled with high rpm shift ability means no missed shifts. Built in backup light switch (with wiring pigtail included) means not having to mess with external plunger-style backup light switches commonly found with older manual transmissions. The Tremec TKX in our 5 speed conversion kit features wide gear facings with sintered bronze and carbon synchronizers not only increase the torque capacity over the older (and larger) Tremec TKO-500 but provide for buttery smooth shifts up to 7,500 rpm! To further strengthen the transmission and support its 600 lb-ft torque capacity, the TKX ships with a 26-spline input shaft and 31-spline output shaft. The Tremec TKX uses 2.7 quarts of Dexron III/Mercon spec ATF and is easily serviced via the fill and drain plugs located on the passenger side of the transmission case. Tremec builds the TKX with a 2.87 First gear ratio and a street friendly .68 Fifth gear/OD ratio. The overdrive ratio provides exceptional fuel mileage even with steep rear gears. For example, fitting 4.10 gears using the .68 overdrive is equivalent to having just a 2
