Description
The TREMEC TKX LS Swap Kit for 5-Speed Conversion is a complete performance drivetrain package engineered for Gen III and Gen IV GM LS engines, including LS1, LS2, LS3, 4.8L, 5.3L, 5.7L, 6.0L, and 6.2L applications. Designed to simplify manual transmission conversions, this kit includes the major components required to install a TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission behind your LS engine, making it an ideal solution for muscle cars, hot rods, pro-touring builds, and classic truck restorations.
At the heart of the kit is the TREMEC TKX 5-Speed Manual Transmission, rated for 600 lb-ft of torque with smooth shifting capabilities up to 7,500 RPM. Its compact aluminum case provides improved transmission tunnel clearance, while the overdrive fifth gear reduces engine RPM for quieter highway driving, improved fuel economy, and reduced engine wear. Built entirely from brand-new OEM-quality components, the TKX offers outstanding durability, precision shifting, and long-term reliability.
Whether you’re converting an automatic-equipped vehicle or replacing an older manual transmission, the TREMEC TKX LS Swap Kit provides everything needed for a professional-quality installation and modern driving performance.
