MDL | 1965 Mustang 4-Speed to Tremec T5 5-Speed Conversion

In this video we joint the Modern DriveLine team as they convert a 1965 Mustang 2+2 from it's original 4-Speed to a brand new Tremec T5 5-Speed Transmission.
This video serves as a great overview of the steps necessary to complete the conversion and even gives some tips but is not meant to be a step-by-step "instructional" video. Please refer to all necessary installation instructions and follow all safety guidelines when performing your installation.

Is there a video of someone installing one of their "kits" going from a C4 to T5? I am very interested in doing the swap, but want more information. Specifically about installing the physical pedal itself and how to run the clutch cable?

Are there any solutions for the early 5 bolt bellhousing/blocks? I have a 64.5 260 Stang. It was originally a 3 speed manual.

[@ericfitzpatrick5319]

Are you guys using a deep pressure plate due to the lack of a quadrant? The foxbody bellhousing is deeper.

[@mattcornett7180]

If the bell housing alignment is off… I understand need offset dowels. But how do you get them out? If the angle is off, how do you correct that? Also, is a clutch fork cover needed?
Anyway good timing on this as I’m in the middle of adding an MDL TREMEC TKX to my 69 mustang with an FMX auto trans…. Thanks for making this!!!!

Matt, have you started on yours yet?

@@mattcornett7180 Ok i have a 68 cougar, c4 to t5 swap, i was worried about how the slave bolted, but with this new video from MDL and Talking to Brett, i finally drill my holes in my bellhousing today

[@mattcornett7180]

@@rickycarroll1990 ironically on the TKX one of those bolts prevents the transmission from bolting up. This is unique to the TKX though…. Always a good idea to test fit everything. MDL has the solution for my application and sent me another bolt that will countersink into the bellhousing. Nothing is ever perfect and that is part of the fun of modifying these cars.
