William Lane, a veteran and one of the installers and R&D mechanics here at Silver Sport Transmissions is a massive Fox Body fan. He found this Cougar and immediately started making it his. It is equipped with the TREMEC TKO 5-Speed, SST's Fox shifter handle, and SST's hydraulic kit which he helped design. William sure is proud of his Cougar, if you were at Carlisle for the Ford show, you probably met William. He built this Cougar himself, changing it from automatic to manual, adding new wheels and a host of other mods. It sure turned heads at the show!

We are very excited to let you know that TREMEC's plant is pushing out all our backordered transmissions and we're working overtime to get them out the door fast. We'll soon be back to our normal, fast ship times.

The Fox Body was ever present from the late 70's to the early 90s. It was used as the body platform for 11 different models from Ford, Mercury, Lincoln and Continental. It may feel weird to some of us to consider these classic cars, but 1993 was almost 30 years ago.

We've converted several Fox Body cars now and we've done our research. Our engineering department has given the green light to 3 new conversion kits and a hydraulic kit for the Fox Body. Visit our website to see what comes in a TREMEC T-5, TKO, or Magnum kit for Fox Body and while you're there, request a quote!

The first major change to the Mustang since 1984, the SN95 Body Style lasted 10 years before it was replaced. The oldest models are over 20 years old now; they're classics!

Our engineering department did their research and developed kits for TREMEC T-5, TKO, and Magnum to make it easy for you to convert! Check out the kits and request a quote on our website.

These aren't exactly "new" (we told you about them before), but while we're talking Foxes we've got to mention the hydraulic kits. Our hydraulic kit uses the same style of release bearing that you see on today's high-powered sports cars. It's our proprietary design and rated at 7000 rpms. At a 1,000,000 cycle service life, it'll last you a long time too. The master cylinder is made by Wilwood.

We designed some kit components to make this installation EASY and get everything at the right angle. Our directions are simple to understand and include lots of photos. The easy pedal effort alone is worth the upgrade.

Got a Coyote engine swap? No problem. We have kits to accommodate these cars with an alternative master cylinder location for more engine clearance.

You can purchase the kit on online or call us if you have questions or would rather order over the phone at 888-609-0023.

When we brought in a Ford Mustang for some extra R&D and to further refine our Fox Body kit, we also shot an installation video! William Lane talks us through each step and gives plenty of pointers he's picked up from years of mechanic work. Some of the components you see in this video are prototypes, but the parts you'll get are the finalized production pieces. We have everything in stock and ready to roll!

This week's tech corner isn't so much a "how to" as it is a "how do" as in "how do they do it?". Our STX shifters reduce the shifter travel of the stock shifter they replace substantially and our housings don't leak.

We're showing the whole thing because our competitors don't get it. It may cost less to make the ball and socket design shifter, but it will leak as the nylon ball wears away. It will also get sloppy. Our shifter is constructed to last a long time and never leak.

We also improved the throw. How? We employee an engineering department and they did the math! Physics and geometry, those math and science classes the rest of us forgot years ago were put into practice to create the shortest throw and the best feel possible.

Oh, and if you have a Fox Body with a T-5 or T-45 and you're not quite ready for a new transmission, our STX shifter for T-5 and T-45 might be just what you need to put the fun back into your 5-Speed.

We recently jumped on board with Foxcast Media for their 1987 Mustang LX (notchback) build. It is going to be a rocket ship! Check out the specs:

The result will be a Fox body that can make around 760 HP on 93 octane. Of course, he can't do all that and keep the gears the same, he'll be putting in a TREMEC Magnum 6-Speed kit from Silver Sport Transmissions! We'll keep you updated on the progress, but make sure you check out his YouTube channel where he has well over 100 videos almost exclusively about Fox body builds and visit his website to find the rest of his social media links.

You may have spoken to Chris Sitzmore if you called in for customer support or tech help. This Ford Mustang, the "Gold Nugget" belongs to his brother. It came in to get a TREMEC Magnum 6-Speed. You can see the 6-speed get installed in the video in the Tech Corner. Chris's brother didn't paint it this glittery gold color, that was someone else's inspiration. You can read all about the Gold Nugget and see more photos on Ford Muscle.
