Background:

Who or what is TREMEC? TREMEC is a manufacturer of automobile transmissions and drive train components who have been around for quite some time.

A Staple to Mustang Owners:        

If you own a classic mustang you have more than likely heard the term T5 transmission. The T5 has been the staple for manual transmission Mustangs since 1983 and continues to be the best for the average street car when it's time for replacements. Around 1998, TREMEC purchased the entire line of manual shift transmission from Borg Warner and have produced the entire line of Borg Warner light duty transmissions like the T5 and T56. But there are about 40 different versions of the T5 and if you have an older car, this is a perfect chance to upgrade to a better T5 than what you might have now for example upgrading to the all-new TREMEC TKX.
