The New TREMEC TKX is the new 5-speed in town. TREMEC has normally sourced their aftermarket transmissions from the OE side, such as the Magnum T-56 and the T-5. This brand new design is made from the ground up as a strictly aftermarket transmission. Designed to fit classic muscle cars and customs, the TKX has a tighter, more streamlined case.
TKX 5-Speed Manual Transmission Features and Benefits
- 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. It is available in multiple gear ratio configurations (See chart below).
- 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.
- Separate GM and Ford case patterns and input configurations. Integrated GM and Ford transmission mount patterns.
American Powertrain can also provide a mid-shift conversion, as well as a White Lightning shifter. The White Lightning Shifter features over 60 additional shifter locations to help get the new TKX set up for your muscle car, truck or custom project. American Powertrain will also have a direct fit version for Classic Corvettes and Mopars, which feature a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty backed up even further with American Powertrain’s two year warranty.

Corvette C1 C2 and C3 version coming soon!
ok looking to see if this will work with a factory 4 spd A body Mopar. 1968 Dodge Dart.
Yep. You have to use this trans with our Mopar A body kit. We have been doing those for years with TKO. Just give us a call.
Without floor modifications?
Honestly we do not really know yet as we have not had time to fit the TKX to all the applications since TREMEC just came out with it. TKO you have to cut the floor for sure. TKX is smaller but A-body mopar has a really small tunnel. So to be safe I can’t tell you yet you wont have to modify the floor until we get all our engineering done.
Will this work with 2018 L83?
Sure will. Just need a bell and flywheel combo. Just call us at 93-646-4836
Can I use it with 1964 series 1 KKE convertible. No floor mods.
I have a ’69 corvette. Do you have a TKX kit like the TKO SKU: PFGM-20007 kit?
We have the TKO kits now for Vettes. The TKX kits will be ready after 1st of the year.
does it have a shifter to fit factory consoles? (64 GTO ?)……. and how much more $ is the shifter?
We have all that. Just call us for a quote on an A-body conversion kit. TKO kits have been around for years. The TKX is the same except it fits the floor better. You need to have the right offset shifter for the transmission which we make just for the console cars.
I have a 64 Chevelle SS 4 speed car, will the TKX fit in my car?
Sure will! We have a complete turn key kit for A-bodies.
I have a 1978 chevrolet malibu with a 454 bored and camed , behind is a four speed with 3:73 gears. Would your TREMEC TKX adapt to my malibu?
They adapt to any Muncie bolt pattern. Bolts up just like a TKO did before. We do Chevys in our sleep. Just give us a call.
So will this GM 5spd bolt up to me ..621 bell housing?
Yes
Hi I have a 1965 mustang I’m putting in a tkx 5 speed and I want to use a hydraulic clutch what kit will work with the tkx with a hydraulic t/out bearing
Im doing a different engine swap and was looking to see if you offer kits for different motors? Its a 2.8l vr6 out of a vw.
nope
That sounds cool and all. But I would like to have one specifically made for the 4.3L V6 Chevy engine. Because it would be nice for us gearheads who like muscle but don’t like the fuel economy of the V8 engines.
It does sound cool…..You know the 4.3 has a small block chevy bolt pattern right? the TKX bolts up to any SBC bell housing…We have all the stuff you need to make it work.
Will this be a direct fit with no modifications for a 69 camaro .Do i need a different crossmember .What else do i need thanks
Yep…You need our TKX Pro-Fit kit for 1st Gen Camaros. Give us a call at 931-646-4836. We do our quotes over the phone per application since there are many options.
I’m interested the TKX in close ratio with .81 for my 65 Fastback Mustang in 10 spline input is that possible? Also how much work will need to be done if any to the Transmission Tunnel to fit?
Yes we have that and no mods. You can even fit a 6-speed in a 65. Been doing these for years. TKX makes it even easier…
Wondering if this will fit in an early model 1965/66 mustang without having to modify the floor pans? Thanks!
Yep you can even fit a 6-speed in a 65/66 been doing them for years…
Will this fit in a 1965-66 Mustang without modifications?
Thanks!
Yes its super easy..
Sounds real good, but I got one for you. Do you have a version that will fit in a 1973 pinto four cylinder 2.0 liter?
