Modern Driveline
Modern Driveline is a five and six speed manual shift overdrive conversion specialist. Our product offerings are centered around Tremec transmissions due to their OE high performing quality. We engineer and develop many of the supporting products need to install or updated Tremec transmissions into classic hotrods, to modern day muscle and everything in between. Our goal is to provide the best fitting transmission for our project using as many of the parts you already have. We will ask you a series of questions to understand your needs and provide you with a detail list of transmission components.
Our business started out of need. Being a part of the Shelby Club of Northern California, it was apparent that there was a need for a company focused on the modern overdrive transmissions that understands the needs of high performance, and not so high performance owners. Working for Charlie’s Mustangs in the 90’s, company founder, Bruce Couture began repairing T-5 transmissions.
In 1996 Bruce purchased a 65 Mustang hardtop that needed restoring. It was equipped with a V8 automatic. After driving the car for a year, he decided the car needed a manual transmission. A T-5 five speed was chosen for it’s size and drivability. While searching for conversion parts, he found there were very few companies offering five speed conversion parts or complete packages. It was this search that showed a need for better fitting parts that are easy to install and long lasting.
We have added to the lineup from the T5/Mustang beginnings and now offer many new applications and continue to work on new projects. We now address the six speed market, as well as, Falcon’s, Cobra’s, trucks, Hotrods and Big block, small blocks, six cylinder, Y-blocks and flathead conversion parts and packages. We continued broadening the product line in 2008 with GM and Mopar components, with more being added each month. In 2009 we introduced the LF series hydraulics to meet the needs of the market.
Modern Driveline has been in business since 1998. Hundreds of transmissions have been rebuilt, and custom built. Our products are now installed in well over 10,000 vehicles, ranging from model A’s to current production vehicles across the country and in foreign countries. Modern Driveline is here to service you with your driveline conversion needs whether it is a stock 6 cylinder or a high performance V8 or anything in between.
