Pretty exciting for guys with the mild builds!
Great video, liked the side by side comparison of the trans and pretty kool to know about the manual pedal conversion!!
Man! These guys are the $hit! Very well done!
Very informative and another great video!
I'll definitely be making a purchase in the next year!
Wow they have a really nice shop! My ‘68 Skylark’s TKO600 kit is from them 😁👍🏼
Great job with the tour, these guys got it together, they have everything for manual needs.
Nice tour of the facility. Excellent customer service by SST. I'm in the process of installing a TKX in my Barracuda. Only downside is I have to wait until the snow is gone to try it out 😞. Thanks for the video. Best Regards - Mike
cool video been waiting for my stuff since august :-)
Great info!!!
THANK YOU SIR, for this video 👍🏼
Finally, I’m building a 1930 Ford 2 door Sedan Hot Rod with a Heidts stage 3 chassis. I’m running a built SBC. It’s hard to find the right clutch linkage to fit a Chevy bell housing in a 90yr old ford. This TKX with their hydraulic clutch kit is my answer. I need to call them to see if they carry the Wilwood floor mount clutch and brake pedal combo. I also want a steel bell housing for drag racing. Plus I need a taller shifter for a old flat floor hot rod. I need to call them and have them put a package together for my Model A Hot Rod. So glad I found this video. It’s a pain buying parts from a half dozen companies just to install a new transmission and not know if it will all work once you get it together. You always miss something. These guys have everything figured out before you get it. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🏁🏁🦅🦅
I ordered a TKX transmission about 2 weeks ago for my foxbody and I can't wait to get it. I was googling for more info on it and this video sold me on the hydraulic clutch conversion too.
How do you like it so far ?
I’d love to stick this behind a SRT-4 engine and drop it in a Hillman Minx or Austin 10.
I got the TKO600 from Liberty gear/modified “pro trans” with the 5.0 shifter.This is an awesome trans in my 72 chevelle.took some modifications to make the conversion but well worth it.If I ever do another I’ll probably go with the new TKX though!!!
Thinking of the TKX for my SSP
Wow, that place is like adult Disney land!! I have my tkx on order can’t wait for it to arrive
GREAT VIDEO!
That was awesome!!
I live right out side of Knoxville, and I may have to go pay them a visit and buy a new TKX for my Fox, I had no idea they where in my back yard, Thanks Dude.
Dude, I'm right on the edge of Rockford and also had no idea.
I need a TKX after watching this.
TKX is the jam!!
Wow this place is awesome!
Dropped your name today when I ordered my tkx from silver sport Transmissions. It’s on it’s way🤟🏻
I’ve been waiting for someone to come out with a video on the tkx. I want to pull that trigger on my fox
I 100% recommend it, unless you do a ton of highway driving where you need a 2nd overdrive
TKX is smaller oval shaped remniscent of the little T50 for small V8's, 6s, 4s...
I want to see them slamming gears on a 7k motor without proshifting, the tko 500/600 was a dud when it was released so I have my trust issues lol
This video sold me on SST for ordering my transmission
Wow wow wow transmission paradise !! 😍
I wanted to take them all home lol
Wow this is great 👍😊 thanks for sharing
Yes sir! TKX is a game changer
@@FoxcastMedia I sent you an email for help from Noah blake
Awesome stuff
I saw jay leno talking about these tkx !
Nice job with the tour! But, someone PLEASE give that guy trying to get in touch with his inner WWE wrestling persona a dang Snickers bar or something... LOL
Just ordered 1 for my 65 mustang coupe
Very cool
The TKX is a game changer. My tko600 is way to big and heavy. I miss the day of the T5s could bench those so easy compared to the GOT DANG TKO600 about killed me last clutch change
I just pulled a Muscle thinking about pulling out my tko600 to change a clutch
@@NorthernPerformanceGroup yep lol no doubt lol
the TKO and TKX both weigh 105 lbs
@@cobrabuilder9336 awesome
@@cobrabuilder9336 the tko600 is 113 lbs
Silver Sport is awesome! I bought their bellhousing for my ‘79 Trans Am...doing a LS1 mated to the original T10 4spd.
I know they didn’t cover it but that Chevy LS bellhousing he mentioned in the video also has the new LT bolt pattern casted/drilled in.
Crazy you can bolt a 60’s-70’s 4spd to a 2021 LT1/LT4 engine these days. Lightweight compared to a big 6spd transmission 🙌
Wonder if I could get their manual pedal conversion kit to work with my Lincoln town car
Wow if I only had that kind of money there would be one in my fox lol.
is there any way to put an air shifter on one of these units to be able to fit a straight sequential type shifter? Tremec should build a sequential transmission for drag racers..the h pattern just does not get it done!!
To bad there all on Backorder hope they can start getting them faster
I purchased one for my 1968 Mustang GT500 and I would buy one for my 1968 Charger but I heard you had to cut the transmission tunnel for it to fit so I wont be doing that mod unfortunately.
if it fit without having to move the frame spport back 3", I'd have already ordered this for my 65 Musatng coupe, why does that top plate in front of the shifter, have to be so High as to interfer with the cross member support, Will this work with the factory Bellhousing?
I cancelled my TKX order with American Powertrain after seeing THIS VIDEO and how well organized and 1 stop shop they are.
AP kept in tacking on shit, no organization, oh yeah, you'll also need this ($300 here). Oh yeah, I spaced it, you'll need this also, (300 there).
Then I asked, what is this, the Mopar tax?
He said yeah, Mopar tax.
That didn't sit right with me, I then realized my estimates through silver sport we're going to my spam folder and I found the estimates, everything was pretty cut and dry as far as everything included to make it 100% bolt up kit, almost a hundred dollar difference minus driveline of course
How does this compare to t56 magnum. Is the t56 still better? Smoother?
Did anyone put tkx into 1969 camaro does it need any cuting or is it straight fit thank you.
how much does the code save you at SST -FOXSWAG
Would love to get ahold of a bad ass Trans to upgrade from my T45 in my 96 cobra.
All the SN95 cars have been covered for swaps also
@@williamlane6374 appreciate the info
Hey Caleb! Which video shows the installation for the hydraulic clutch? Thanks in advance!
Same question thanks
@@drjotting I’ve only come across the McLeod hydraulic clutch. I wonder if there is a cheaper one. I’ve seen a universal kit on ebay, but I know better not to get it. 😂
SilverSport is working on a installation video of the coyote version.
Just went on their site to buy the fox body pedal kit that works with the automatic pedals - says there's nothing for my car. Tried clicking through the store and many different ways to get to the product - doesn't come up. Would love to buy that kit today! 1991 Mustang LX 5.0 AOD car here - getting ready to swap to a manual.
Did you call them?
Thank you for awesome videos I'm new to the channel two weeks ago Friday my wife surprise me with a Foxbody my second one in 20 years I have the 4.6 is tired and leaking oil I guess it's coyote time please private message me or somehow I can get a list of what I really need I like to get an exact list if possible I know you're very busy but I appreciate all your help
I have a 1998 cobra with the stock t45. Would the stock bell housing and drive shaft work with the tkx I wonder? Also I have BBK long tube headers would I need to take off 1 header when doing a clutch change with the tkx
The bell housing on a t45 is integrated to the transmission as part of its front cover so u would need to get a bell for the TKX and u should be able to use your stock drive shaft but change the front yoke that would be supplied in a TKX kit. And I wouldn't think you would need to rovove a header to replace the clutch
It better be a great trans. Thats a $2,800.00 gadget!
Does this bolt up to a pushrod 5.0 and a coyote? Like to replace mine on my 306 but cpyote swap in the future.
To answer your question, yes
What about 1962 Chevy impala and shifter location
See Ed
I’m pissed I bought a new tko600 3 years ago
The TKO is a good trany if done wright. If ur running the stock shifter change it out for a good one and it will improve it substantially
Great video thanks man! Looking to put this trans in my Coyote swapped ‘93 Cobra build. Definitely would utilize this discount code. I don’t want to permanently modify the Cobra so I’m debating the hydraulic conversion. Any good links for that or I’d assume personal experience?
Silver sport is working on a how too video of how to install it and Caleb and Dover had installed one and loved the way they feel. There will be 2 vehicles at Ford Takeover to experience the feel
this transmission is really the Legend 700 from a few years ago where the company went bankrupt ,it looks like Tremec bought them made some improvements and put their name on it
Nope....it’s not. It might look similar in design principle but the TKX is completely new
@@thehawk05 yes its completely new but you cant deny how identical they look
How much power & torque will it handle ? Thanks👍
600lbs continuous
Does anyone know how the sst shifter is compared to the pro 5.0 for a tko600?
There is a video Caleb did with one. The video is called (Its A What) with a TKO600 in a red Cougar
@@williamlane6374 really ok let me look for it.
Does that tkx come with the ring gear speedo for the 99-04 cars it doesn’t say on their website.
They except a speedo gear and also come with a speed sensor already equipped on the other side of the tail housing
@@williamlane6374 so what bell would I need for a 99 cobra.
99 cobra would use a modular bell housing for the TKX that has the same bolt pattern as the TKO
@@williamlane6374 but do they sell that with the kit or is it separate
The best answer i can give is to give Silver Sport a call and they would be able to tell you everything you would need so u can have a better idea for when ever you would be ready. The sales people are also tech people and they don't work on commission so there won't be any pressure, they are always happy to help out.
Tremec TKX (600 lb/ft torque capacity/shifts like butter) = 125 lbs dry
Super Astro A-5 (600 lb/ft torque capacity/shifts like butter) = 81 lbs dry
It took them three tries to get mine right and it still doesn't work
I ordered a trans last week. Today, UPS dropped off a dude dressed in drag. WTF!
2:51 Your "Experts" put the shifter on backwards.
The TKX has "cups" for the shifter in both the front and rear of the shift tower. It can be mounted in either orientation; what they show here is perfectly valid.
@@mn12sc35th tell that to your hand and poor ergonomics, due to the shifter mounted 180 off..
I was wondering if anyone else noticed! I guess not a lot of Mopar guys have viewed this.
I want that now, those are sooo freaking badass, hey caleb buy one and give it away in a drawing that would be awesome, its only money man you can make plenty more 😂🤣😂🚗💨💨💨💨 jk
Sell your Nike shoe and hat collection.
What's the price on the tkx??
If you have to ask you can't afford it...
The transmission alone is about $2800 not including if it won't mate up to your bell housing. I had to get the bell housing, a different clutch disc (going from 10 spline to 26). Plus all the other goodies in the kit. All in all it costed around $3700
@Frank Bonazza III my thought was buying gforce gears, rebuild kit and synchronizers for my busted transmission was gonna come close to that. Plus if I ever blow my 347 I'll switch to an LS and I can switch bellhousings and mount it right up to an LS.
Why is that shifter backwards
Different shifter positions for Different applications
damn they skipped the 82-92 fbodies
Silver Sport has the transmissions for 82-2002 Fbodies 3rd and 4th gen
Damit I want it. Jesus. That is sick. What kind of power can it hold
600lbs continuous
Not for nothing but I am I’m open to markets but why is it that are most popular transmission has a big stamp that says made in Mexico again nothing wrong but I’m just saying these transmissions are pretty expensive so what are we paying import tax
Lol saw that too.. cheap labor
I don’t see this trans lasting very long behind a big block with any tire that’s remotely sticky.
Lots of factors there but I’ve gone 9s with a synchronized TK600
@@drjotting weight of car? Power? Torque? Clutch set up? Tires? Just for discussions sake and educational purposes...
‘91 Foxbody 427” SBF 88mm turbo 900lbft torque and a 325/50/15 MT ETStreet 3200#
If I was to guess by the looks of the construction the TKX may hold more than its current 600lb continues rating, since its new its safer to rate at a lower number till it proves its self in time
So does this mean the $2000 transmission I bought from LMR for my 91 LX with around 300 horse was a waste of money😧
No
The Super Duty T5s are a great trans. Everything depends on how you intend to use it. If you’re not drag launching , power shifting or running gummy tires the T5 will live happily behind a 500HP combo with zero issues.
The TKX is an awesome trans but it does get expensive to convert to one on a Foxbody. It requires a new bell housing, clutch and driveshaft yoke to install it. You’re looking at around $3,300 going the cheapest route possible to install one.
Had this dilemma myself as I was considering installing a TKX in my T-Bird. Unfortunately living in Canada the exchange rate, taxes and brokerage fees to purchase one and all the supporting parts I noted above meant I was looking at just shy of $5K CAD to do it. I ended up getting a new T5 and used the more than $2K CAD I saved to buy some other speed parts instead.
@@thehawk05 oh man that's reassuring. I just drive mine around regularly and might play a little bit, but over all I take care of her because I love her😎
Made in Mexico
Yep big stamp that says made in Mexico I didn’t know that it was in Mexican company🤔
Better than 🇨🇳
@@rhinevalleygarage probably has parts from China like many other things being made everyday, lol. But who cares it’s pretty cool regardless
Designed in the USA, just assembled in Mexico
The TV or device you are watching this on isn't made in America either .... so
6r80 with a stall will destroy any manual at a cheaper cost.
Need a 6 speed to replace this BS mt82 in my 2015
You will need the Magnum XL which is carried in stock with the necessary hardware for a smooth swap
.68 5th 👎
Boxes are stamped Made in Mexico!!! Wtf
It looks like a Ford junk yard
Shifter on backwards???
I saw Fords in the lot outside and tuned out. No thanks...
