The TREMEC TKX 5-Speed Manual Transmission for Ford 302/351W Windsor is a premium performance transmission package designed for Small Block Ford 289, 302, 347 Stroker, 351 Windsor, and 351 Cleveland engines. Engineered for classic Mustangs, Falcons, Fairlanes, Broncos, F-Series trucks, street rods, and pro-touring builds, the TKX delivers exceptional strength, smooth shifting, and modern overdrive performance in a compact package.
Built with 100% brand-new OEM-quality components, the TREMEC TKX is rated to handle 600 lb-ft of torque while providing crisp, reliable shifts at engine speeds up to 7,500 RPM. Its redesigned aluminum case offers improved transmission tunnel clearance compared to previous TKO models, making installation easier in classic Ford vehicles. The overdrive fifth gear lowers cruising RPM for improved fuel economy, reduced engine wear, and a quieter driving experience.
Designed for both street and performance applications, this transmission is an excellent upgrade for restorations, restomods, drag-and-drive builds, and pro-touring projects requiring modern manual transmission performance.
