Have you installed the Stifflers crossmember? How do you like it?
Yes. Bolted right in, no issues. If you're installing it with a TKX, the transmission mounts are higher than the T5 and you have to use their TKX installation kit. https://lmr.com/item/STF-TKOM09/Mustang-Stifflers-TKO-Install-Kit-TCB-TKOHave you installed the Stifflers crossmember?

or Hanlon motorsports unless Hanlon is going to be more expensive than LMR or someone else. I have not bought a trans before but depending on wha condition the 3550 in the car I bought in '16, when I pull it out sometime before the end of the year I'll see what shape it's in and also get it to a shop to check out. It had a few things going on with it that I want to check out but also could be a clutch and/or cable issue. The car will get a 331 soon so I'll be gonig thru it.If anyone is going to buy one, I would recommend LMR or a tremec dealer who palletizes them like this . Worth the $100 extra.. MUCH better than getting one destroyed by UPS..... Will call would be the other good option....
I called Hanlon this morning after not talking to them since around 2016 when I bought the 95 that's getting a 331. Good information Linda told me as to the tko 500 and 600 no longer being available or really parts for them and it's not the Tkx or T56. She told me the available gear ration options and now I'll ask the same thing, what gear ration options would I know that I need to pick is it mostly dependant on how you're going to drive the car and what it'll be used for mostly?I guess I didn't know LMR carried them. I don't mind going thru a 3rd party vendor what so ever. I'm more curious if I should just bite the bullet and go with a 6-speed or stick with the 5-speed that can handle more torque?
Also, what gear ratio is right for me, and how would I know?
will the stock crossmember work with the TKX?Yes. Bolted right in, no issues. If you're installing it with a TKX, the transmission mounts are higher than the T5 and you have to use their TKX installation kit. https://lmr.com/item/STF-TKOM09/Mustang-Stifflers-TKO-Install-Kit-TCB-TKO
Its been a while, but I "think" Hanlon sends them out UPS.....or Hanlon motorsports unless Hanlon is going to be more expensive than LMR or someone else.

hmmmmmmmm knowing them then seems like they might put on a pallet too. I'll google and see or call them. Ultimately it's going to come down to best price overall though; if I need a trans...Its been a while, but I "think" Hanlon sends them out UPS.....
wow that is crazy mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.Here are some pics of where UPS "bounced" my NEW TKX on the input shaft during shipment....
I called Summit, where I purchased it, and they said no problem with an exchange... I drove 8+ hours each way to the Georgia Summit facility and exchanged my transmission for another one personally in my truck.... Kudos to Summit for making this a painfree exchange...
It might of been OK, but I did not want to take the chance of finding ' something wrong" a few years down the road....
I believe so, but not positive. I thought I read you had to modify it slightly. You'll need a new mount anyway, and I was so far into it I wasn't going to skimp on the old crossmember and just bought the Stifflers.will the stock crossmember work with the TKX?
I bought mine from LMR. Shipped by FedEx freight and arrived in perfect condition.hmmmmmmmm knowing them then seems like they might put on a pallet too. I'll google and see or call them. Ultimately it's going to come down to best price overall though; if I need a trans...
Ok I'll inspect to see what the 3550 currently has.I believe so, but not positive. I thought I read you had to modify it slightly. You'll need a new mount anyway, and I was so far into it I wasn't going to skimp on the old crossmember and just bought the Stifflers.
you bought everything from them pictured then at the same time?I bought mine from LMR. Shipped by FedEx freight and arrived in perfect condition.
Yes siryou bought everything from them pictured then at the same time?
i'm all about the best pricing so getting any aftermarket trans crossmember will suffice for a TKX?Yes sir
That you'd have to research for yourself. There's a lot of good guys on here that might be able to tell if it will work. Post it up when you find one you're interested in and somebody will chime in.i'm all about the best pricing so getting any aftermarket trans crossmember will suffice for a TKX?
