TREMEC TKX
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.
Overview:
Overview:
- 600 lb.-ft. of torque capacity; capable of engines speeds of 8,000 RPMs with shifts at 7,500 RPMs.
- Available in multiple gear ratio configurations (See specifications).
- 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.
- 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
- 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.

TKX Installation Instructions

There are no featured galleries matching this product.
1. Change the pilot bearing.
2. Break the clutch in according to the instructions provided.
3. Ensure proper bellhousing alignment.
4. Resurface the flywheel. This is a critical step to guard against clutch chatter/shudder. We recommend a very coarse surface texture from a stone grinder. Something that if you ran your finger nail across the flywheel, the texture would catch your nail.
5. Inspect the entire clutch system including hydraulics and linkage. Replacement of the Hydraulic slave with an OEM replacement is critical.

- A Single disc application is installed with the completely flat side facing the flywheel. The protruding side of the hub (side with springs) assembly will face up towards the pressure plate ( in most cases)
- A Double disc unit will have both hubs with the protruding side of the hub face up towards pressure plate and towards the transmission. (in most cases)
Yes. The pins help to ensure proper alignment of the pressure plate and add strength.
The biggest factors in clutch life are the way it is used and the output of the engine. McLeod Clutches are designed for maximum life but that life can be shortened by using much stickier tires than stock, stop and go driving, track use, tires of larger diameter and other factors that place added stress on the clutch.
We would like to see 500-750 miles of stop & go city driving. With no drag racing or dyno tuning. Make sure to drive in stop & go city driving to actuate the clutch 1200 to 1500 times. You can drive the car 600 miles on the interstate and only shift the car 5 or 6 times and not break in the clutch.
