Re: Tremec TKX 5 Speed Transmission Installation
Thanks for this thread, this is definitely on my list of things to do eventually.
Is your motor in the forward or rear mount position? To add to the swap info, if you have a newer bellhousing with the larger hole, you can use this adapter to reduce it, I used this on my manual 70 C10 to mount a Muncie M20 https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ADD-716078 |

Re: Tremec TKX 5 Speed Transmission Installation
Finished my install in the 6-banger position a couple weeks ago. The shifter clears the bench fine. Decided to make my own shifter and left it straight for now. I'll angle it to wherever is comfortable after I log some miles.
Thanks for the nice carpet. Mr. Patrick |

Re: Tremec TKX 5 Speed Transmission Installation
Loving it from what I can tell so far. I've only driven it about 25 miles. I haven't had it properly aligned since the front end rebuild and still waiting for my 3-point belts to arrive. 1st-4th have been awesome, I get a little antsy in 5th gear speeds. Unfortunately I have kissed a metal dash before, I'm not willing to risk it, till she's safe-ish. |

Re: Tremec TKX 5 Speed Transmission Installation
I replaced the Race Tuning mid-shifter with one that Tremec recently started selling. It is a big improvement.
1) It has a much shorter throw 2) The centering springs are much stiffer which makes it way easier to shift from 2nd to 3rd 3) It incorporates a 5th-reverse shift inhibitor 4) It is half the price |
