TREMEC Enhances Line-Up with All-New 5-Speed RWD Manual Transmission Designed Specifically for the Aftermarket

‍

• Designed for multiple applications with little to no floor pan modifications
• Compact, end-loaded design provides the perfect solution for custom builds
• Outstanding shift-ability at high RPMs (up to 7500) to match modern, high-performance engines
• 600 pound-foot (lb.-ft.) of torque capacity
• Single overdrive reduces engine wear and fuel consumption for comfortable roadway driving

TREMEC, the leading manufacturer of manual transmissions and components, announces the release of the new TKX, a 5-speed RWD manual transmission developed solely for the aftermarket. “We listened to our customers, combined their suggestions with our OEM technology and strengthened our aftermarket line up with the addition of the TKX,” says Mike Kidd, aftermarket business unit manager at TREMEC.

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.
