I installed the earlier TKO in my father in-laws 66 Chevelle behind a 396. Went well and is a pleasure to drive versus the old 4 Speed. You can actually talk while on the highway!

What cross member did you use and how did you get the parking brake to work? And did the floor support interfere?

@@classics289 Hi, x member can’t find the invoice, California something, tubular one, is extremely tight but you can panel beat the tunnel a little to get more space, choice of gearbox mount rubber can make a difference too ! I also fitted a quick shift designed for a mustang 2 which further complicated matters, you can move the E brake around a bit within reason and it’s fine, I have 2 1/2 inch jba headers & exhaust and due to the H pipe I actually had to mount my E brake bracket 1 inch higher, works fine, hope this is helpful, Don Hill

Great video. Any chance you will make one for a Ford 4-speed Toploader to a 5-speed TKX? What do I need to do about the 1965 Mustang crossmember? is it a matter of massaging it with a small sledgehammer or does it need to be cut and modified?

@dazecars

17 күн бұрын

I don't currently have a toploader to compare it too. You would need to cut out the rib ad then reinforce that area

31 spline output shaft I'm guessing? The biggest problem I see with installing one of these is you can't make the parking brake work. Some places are saying that you should drill out the spot welds on that underside support you showed and relocate it back a little and put the cross member on. Well you can't do that and still have a parking brake.

Hi. Very informative video. Unfortunately, it doesn't help me in my situation. I have a 65 Falcon with a 351 Windsor engine and a 4 speed top loader. Naturally it has the front to rear direction clutch lever action. Do you have anything to help with this setup ? Thanks. Ken

I do not all my kits are designed to work with 5-speeds and their corresponding bellhousings. The only option I know of for a toploader is to use a hydraulic throw out bearing

I have heard the slip yoke for a TKX is the same as a C6 slip yoke. Can anyone confirm?

Yes and no. With a stock bellhousing and adapter plate it would bolt up BUT that is a lot of transmission for a Y block. I am not dissing on the y block but there is little to no aftermarket support so they are not a big hp and trq engine. A TKX is designed for high torque and horsepower that a Y block would never make. I would get a T5. It would be less expensive.

Yes. Easiest would be the way I’m intending to put one behind the 312 in my ‘57 T-Bird: with a Quick Time bell housing. Modern Driveline has what you’d need.

quicktime offers excellent parts but their prices are IMHO about double what would be reasonable.

What about the transmission cross member mount?

@dazecars

11 ай бұрын

Very similar. The issue is the TKX is slightly taller than a T5 in front of the shifter so that could effect how the transmission is angled. If you can get it angled the same as a T5 the T5 crossmember should work but if like in the case of a first generation mustang there is a problem with it hitting the floor ribbing the crossmember might need a little modification.

are the lengths of transmission the same T5 v TKX?

It is the exact same casting but the transmission mounting bolt pattern is different. that is why I show both bellhousings in the video and talk about welding them up and re-drilling the correct pattern but getting the 3550/TKO/TKX type bell is probably a better option

yes and no. The T5 technically doesn't fit "properly" in a first Gen Mustang. It tilts down a couple degrees more than it should but still works. The TKX is the same basic shape as the T5 but due to it being slightly different in front of the shifter the Mustang floor strap will hit or the TKX causing it to be tilted down a couple more degrees than the T5. IMHO the T5 is at the max angle so if you want to run a TKX the floor pan will need to be modified.

depends on the build. A stock(ish) 351 in a light car like a Mustang would likely be Okay with a z spec T5 as long as that T5 is built with counter a gear stabilizer AND as long as the rear end is stock(ish) and tire width is stock(ish). In other words the tires would likely spin before the transmission breaks but you are right at the max of a T5 so if the 351 is performance built at all (anything more than a cam) you are rolling the dice.

unless you went with a g-force or Astro Performance T5, a T5 will not be up to the task. At that point a TKX is a much better option and is a far superior transmission to the the T5 even one that has been upgraded.

T5 WC can handle alot of torque if granny shifted.

@dazecars

2 ай бұрын

Makes sense, I have a friend that rebuilds T5s for a living and in his experience most failures happen on power shifts between 2nd and 3rd. The biggest problem is flex in the case causing the counter gear to move enough that it doesn't mesh properly with the gears on the main shaft and then bad stuff happens. Granny shifting it would likely eliminate that problem.
