Introducing The TREMEC TKX 5 Speed Manual Transmission

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE IT!!!! TOTALLY AWESOME INNOVATION!!! YOU GUYS HAVE DONE YOUR HOMEWORK AND IT HAS PAID OFF BIG TIME!!!! I LOVE MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS!!!! YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR DRIVING EXPERIENCE!!!!

[@realdeathpony]

I am glad Josh called me letting me knw about this. I was working on a TKO and this will save room on my Chevy II

[@Mcleod0000]

It looks good . I been planning on getting the tko 600 , but will be happy to go with this one . I have a 3rd gen fbody

[@justabystander3897]

Man I was about 2 buy 2 TKO DAMMNN!!! Covid made me hold off on the builds so glad I did and I had to cut flloor tunnels OMG sshhh

[@mikearmstrong7956]

Looks GREAT! Should Fit in my 99 Mustang GT No Problem!

[@shawnrobin6822]

Literally just bought a 5 speed kit from American Powertrain for my 1973 Camaro. Wish I was at least told to wait...

[@AmericanPowertrain]

Tremec made everyone keep it quiet. We didn’t even know the launch date till just a few weeks ago...Sorry

[@stephenkowalski2448]

Sounds great, looks like lower height vs the old TKO. Will this fit in a 67-70 mustang without having clearance issues like the TKO did?

[@DAN007thefoxx1]

It can apparently fit in a 66 without any floor cutting. Which is impressive to say the least.

[@michaelmason8620]

Well I pulled the trigger and bought a tkx 5 speed for my mustang ! Hopefully it is everything they say it is

[@JohnnyRebKy]

How much did it cost ?

[@jasonwhitfield4876]

Will this be a direct fit to a 460 bbf?

[@DAN007thefoxx1]

May consider this in the future. Wonder how compatible it would be with import engines such as the B58, RB26, 2JZ, etc.

[@kenbrown8186]

Does it require a new bell? I hate my tko600 but I am squared away with a nice hydraulic clutch setup that mounts to the tko bosses

[@AmericanPowertrain]

It’s bolts up just like a TKO crossmember too

[@ianberry5879]

I am very interested in ordering one of these after the C3 Corvette version with the offset shifter after it's released. Can you tell me what I will need for any rear crossmember modifications or bracket adapters? My 80 4 speed C3 does not have the bolt in crossmember, it's solid all way across.

[@josephhaddakin8510]

does tremec make transmissions for Toyota pickups

[@chrisheyer1]

Could i squeeze one of those in a 65 fairlane500?

[@russellvinson1386]

Are the dimensions the same as a stock T56? As in tailshaft length etc

[@AmericanPowertrain]

its smaller than a T56.

[@biff1212]

Will this fit a 2nd gen firebird without modifying the tunnel? I'm interested in swapping my ST-10 for this behind my Pontiac 400

[@Thegaragefiles]

I wish I would of waited one more month I didn’t know a new one was coming out, I just installed my tko and waiting for the driveline. Oh well

[@mattinclemson]

Yeah same here. Bought mine in July and ended up having to cut my entire tunnel out because the TKO-600 was too big.

[@Thegaragefiles]

@@mattinclemson what are you putting it in?

[@AmericanPowertrain]

Tremec had to keep it under wraps. Nobody could talk about it.. Sorry!

[@mattinclemson]

@@Thegaragefiles ​ @Thegaragefiles It was just a base '70 Chevelle. (I mean 100% completely stock) Auto on the column. Sales rep said it would fit fine, but to get it high enough to get the drive line angle right with even just a stock rear-end meant the tunnel had to come out. The big bummer is it's an all original sheet metal car and the last thing I wanted to do was cut it up...then find out there's one a couple months later that may have saved me from doing that is what's the most frustrating. Oh well.

[@monstergreen6728]

Let me know if you installed the TKO and what the shifting is like? I put one in my 67 mustang and I feel the shifting is notchy? Now I only have about 400 miles on it and have not yet changed the oil so maybe that has something to do with it but was wondering about your thoughts on this and if you have the same issue? It shifts but just notchy??

[@johngreen2510]

Looks amazing but concerned about quality coming out of Mexico

[@spicymiataguy9115]

I need something that holds power and uses the 1.6 Miata bolt pattern without using an adapter plate

[@AmericanPowertrain]

Good luck

[@rudyyarbrough5122]

Will it fit a 64 Corvette without floor or chassis mods?

[@jaivette]

I have a tko600 installed in a 64 coupe behind a Ls. No fit problems with floor. I do however have a removable crossmember. Since tkx is smaller better fit👍

[@jacobnicoletti1235]

Do these transmissions work for light towing? I’d be switching over from a 350 SBC/SM465 4 speed combo. My next motor will either be a built 355/383.

[@AmericanPowertrain]

Not really designed for that

[@jacobnicoletti1235]

But can it handle it? I imagine if it can handle horsepower and torque that it could handle a little towing here or there. I don’t tow all the time but if I were to tow a little trailer or a load of scrap to the junkyard I’d like to have the peace of mind that the trans wouldn’t fail.

[@robroderick2193]

I was very interested until I saw the lack of a torque arm mount . I have a C4 corvette . Was going to move up from a 3550

[@AmericanPowertrain]

@Ragingbull340 nope. TKX is now front load design. TKO is top load. A totally new transmission end to end

[@AmericanPowertrain]

There will crossmembers coming out that have the torque arm mount. Don’t worry

[@Mcleod0000]

@@AmericanPowertrain Awesome

[@johnbehneman1546]

SUGGESTION: HOT ROD MAGAZINE!!!

[@carpartrelapse5057]

Ummmm so when is it going to be available?

[@AmericanPowertrain]

They have been off and on since Jan. We have stock from time to time but they sell out quick. Just call us at 931-646-4836

[@JohnnyRebKy]

How much do they cost ? Nobody ever says 🤷‍♂️. I got a Chevy K10 4x4 I want a 5 speed in

[@AmericanPowertrain]

It's all on our website. $2795 and this trans is only designed for 2wd applications.

[@shitbox7413]

Is 5th an overdrive or 1:1?

[@shitbox7413]

@Ragingbull340, Awesome! 👍🏻

[@ThanasisGR]

Ηi,this gearbox is it good for quick gear changes at high revs about 7500-8000? thx

[@DeathByLego]

It says yes, I just saw another channel and they said they’ve successfully tested to 5500 with no problems.

[@ThanasisGR]

@@DeathByLego The point is about 7500-8000!

[@DeathByLego]

@@ThanasisGR I was just telling you what they’ve already tested too dude

[@ThanasisGR]

@@DeathByLego I have seen that reply, thanks

[@jesco6830]

How is the shifting compared to the tko600. Smoother?

[@AmericanPowertrain]

Yes

[@jesco6830]

@Ragingbull340 hopefully this is the case. We’d be saving ourselves money by going this route and not having to by a hydraulic clutch system. If it shifts smooth like a t56 I’m all in. Set me up for a 72 Mach 1

[@jesco6830]

@Ragingbull340 does the hydraulic clutch feel better? Better engagement? Someone told me they were coming out with this one 4 months ago..so I waited! Glad I did too man

[@DeathByLego]

@@jesco6830 hydraulic is way better! Smoother, lighter, better for cold winters.

[@jesco6830]

@@DeathByLego at this point I think ima go with a t56 magnum for the 6th gear OD

[@VinnyMartello]

I was really close to buying a Tremec. But they told me it couldnt handle pulling a trailer.

[@bigalexfalls]

What's it going to cost for just the trans

[@AmericanPowertrain]

$2795

[@PeterHatch-mx7zc]

What is the cost

[@AmericanPowertrain]

$2895

[@paulrevere-e6y]

anyone know if this can be put in a 1975 FORD Hi-boy pickup, 460, 4x4? I thin it has a T-18/19, not sure, in there now. Want something that I can be able to drive it on the highway and lower the RPM's. Any advice appreciated. TY

[@davidhebert6678]

I wish I’d have waited 3 months to buy my TKO600, I could have had the new model. Its still sitting in the box...

[@davidhebert6678]

@Dennis Teixeira TKO600

[@grizzlygamingGG]

Cant want to install mine in my 67 c10

[@wht240sxka]

Sounds wonderful, but I have a feeling it’s worth more than my car is. So as much as I want it, it’s not looking very practical...

[@stansmith-h2b]

It looks much wider than the TKO.

[@AmericanPowertrain]

LOL its def not

[@twowheeldisco]

Looks bigger and heavier

[@AmericanPowertrain]

Its not

[@DeathByLego]

It’s smaller and lighter. It weighs 96 pounds I think dry.
