The SEMA Show is a great place to see a wide variety of TREMEC manual-transmission equipped cars and trucks. From modern performance cars that are factory built with TREMEC transmissions to custom-built cars and trucks that stand apart from others with a TREMEC 5- or 6-speed manual transmission. Here’s a selection of the cool TREMEC-equipped vehicles we spotted at the 2025 SEMA Show.
We had to stop and check out the TREMEC-equipped 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door sedan that was in the Foose Designs booth. Underneath is a Roadster Shop spec chassis with an LS crate engine mated to a TREMEC 5-speed transmission.
This killer TREMEC-equipped 1969 Ford Torino is owned by Dennis and Darren King. It was built by Dutchboys Hotrods and displayed in the Roadster Shop booth. It uses a Roadster Shop Fast Track full chassis with a 482 cubic-inch Ford FE series V8 attached to a TREMEC Magnum 6-speed transmission from Bowler Performance.
This cool TREMEC-equipped 1935 Chevrolet coupe was built by Ironworks Speed and Kustom with a TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission from Bowler Transmissions. The small block Chevy is adorned with stack fuel injection and finned Corvette valve covers. Bonus props for the cool wheel design made by EVOD.
Do you like your Dodge Chargers with or without hideaway headlights? For this TREMEC-equipped 1970 Charger built by Sanders Street Rods in Washington, we like the exposed headlight look. Turning the car’s TREMEC Magnum 6-speed transmission is a modern blown Hellcat 6.2L Hemi V8. The body rides on an Art Morrison chassis with IRS rear suspension.
Grabbing people’s attention in the FiTech booth at the 2025 SEMA Show was Timm Built Customs 1962 Ford F100 packing a dual supercharger 6.2L LS V8 with a TREMEC Magnum 6-speed transmission sending power to the rear wheels.
Spotted outside, Andrew Slattery’s 1957 Chevrolet 3100. This ride was an early finalist for the Goodguys 2025 Truck of the Year. It features a Roadster Shop chassis, Chevrolet Performance LT4 V8, TREMEC manual transmission and a very blue interior!
It’s not every day you see a TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission bolted to a Ford Y-block V8, but that’s what you’re looking at with Jeremy Shafer’s 1963 Ford F100. It started life as a simple farm truck and now turns heads at shows slammed to the ground with custom flair.
Ruffian Cars 1935Plymouth PJ Coupe is a build that definitely stood apart from the other great TREMEC-equipped cars and trucks at the 2025 SEMA Show. The body was grafted onto a Corvette GT-1 race chassis with a Dodge Viper V10 engine stroked to 9.0L displacement making 800 horsepower with TREMEC 6-speed transmission.
This TREMEC-equipped in the Lemons Headers booth at SEMA Show 2025 was built in honor of the late Lizzy Musi. This 1968 Camaro named “Norma Jeane” and is powered by an Edelbrock/Musi 555 big-block Chevy engine spinning a TREMEC TKX 5-speed transmission.
We love a booth that every vehicle on display has a TREMEC manual transmission! The Superformance booth was filled with its roadsters with TREMEC TKX 5-speeds and various Ford powerplants.
Ghetto Bob’s dad Art was getting this TREMEC-equipped 1966 Ford Mustang Fastback built by Counts Kustoms as a surprise birthday present. Under the hood was a Blueprint stroked Ford 302 with a TREMEC T-5 5-speed transmission.
This was one of the coolest and definitely most unique TREMEC-equipped builds at SEMA: Dillon Houk’s “SHO-Off” 1964 Ford Falcon. It was built to run Optima Ultimate Street Car in 2026. For power the Falcon uses the Yamaha V6 from the first-gen Ford Taurus SHO with a Holley Terminator X EFI system and adapter to connect the V6 to a TREMEC T-5 5-speed transmission from Modern Driveline. The pictures don’t do justice for how cool the car looks in person, and there’s no denying how cool that SHO V6 intake looks. We can’t wait to see how it performs on the track.
How about classic 1957 Oldsmobile styling with modern supercharged LS power and TREMEC performance and drivability? Looks like a winner to us! The Tri Five BOPs (Buick-Olds-Pontiac) don’t get the build attention their Chevy cousins do, so it was refreshing to spot this super clean example at the SEMA Show.
This Fox Body had a heart transplant from a 2003-2004 Terminator Cobra including its TREMEC T-56 6-speed transmission. But topping that is the interior this Fox received from a current S650 generation Ford Mustang! The builder made his own wiring harness to hook up the body-mounted cameras from the S650 so all of the modern dash features would work just like they do in the new Mustang.
This beautiful 1930 Ford Model A coupe built by Big Oak Garage in Alabama was another TREMEC-equipped classic hot rod at the 2025 SEMA Show. A beautiful execution of a retro build hot rod with Ford 24-stud Flat Head V8 with Kong heads and a TREMEC manual transmission from Bowler Performance.
