Manual transmission problems in your 1979-1993 Mustang are never fun to deal with. Lucky for you, Late Model Restoration has every part you need to get it fixed fast and right the first time. Our 5-speed and 6-speed transmissions from Ford Racing make the perfect replacement or upgrade to your Fox Body. When upgrading to an aftermarket transmission, you might need a matching aluminum or SFI approved bell housing. Quick Time and Ford Racing offer different options to fit your application. While you have it all apart, now is a good time to replace your O.E.M. aluminum bearing retainer with a stronger steel retainer. The stock retainers can become worn down causing clutch engagement problems, so replacing now can save time and money later down the road.

All manual transmissions are equipped with a clutch and flywheel and over time your stock parts can become weary and break. Either replace them with a stock part or upgrade them. Your stock flywheels are made from a heavy cast iron. This results in you not being able to attain quicker revs and faster accelerations that are crucial on the track. LMR only offers the best kits possible, all clutch and flywheel kits include a billet flywheel and upgraded clutch. Billet steel flywheels offer a tremendous advantage over heavy stock flywheels by reducing rotational mass!

Over time your transmission can break and rather than having to buy all the components to fix it, it’s sometimes easier to just buy a new one. Having a new transmission is more beneficial in the long run than just fixing a major problem and having something else break later. By replacing your transmission, you can extend the life your transmission as a whole and save money rather than replacing one part at a time. With selections from T5 stock transmissions to heavy-duty Tremec 6 speed ones, LMR has them!

There are a variety of shifter knobs and shifters for your Fox Body. With automatic and manual shifters there are lots of different styles available.
