Tremec TKX Ford 5-Speed Transmission 2.87 First Gear .68 OD – TCET17765

Tremec TKX Ford 5-Speed Transmission 2.87 First Gear .68 OD – TCET17765

Compact high-torque manual transmission engineered specifically for aftermarket Ford performance builds.

The Tremec TKX platform provides modern drivetrain strength with improved transmission tunnel clearance, high-RPM shift capability, and proven durability for street performance, restomod, and pro-touring applications.

This ratio configuration offers strong launch characteristics with reduced cruising RPM, making it a balanced solution for high-horsepower vehicles that require both acceleration performance and highway drivability.

  • Ford TKX case pattern
  • 26-spline input shaft
  • 31-spline output shaft
  • Single overdrive 5-speed design
  • Compact low-profile aluminum housing

Gear Ratios

1st — 2.87
2nd — 1.89

  • Internal three-rail shift system improves shift precision and durability
  • Wide gear face width increases gear life and torque capacity
  • Alloy steel gears and shafts manufactured from ASTM 4615 material
  • Caged needle bearings reduce friction and gear end-play
  • Optimized gear geometry helps control noise, vibration, and harshness
  • Integrated reverse light and cruise control safety switch provisions
