Description
Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmissions with Overdrive 7020526B – Product Overview
The Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmissions with Overdrive 7020526B is a performance-focused 5-speed manual transmission from Richmond Gear. It belongs to the Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmissions with Overdrive product line and is supplied as a new, non-remanufactured transmission sold individually.
This product is identified by Manufacturer’s Part Number 7020526B, Summit Racing Part Number RMG-7020526B, and UPC 698231784495. These identifiers help buyers, installers, mechanics, and parts departments confirm the correct transmission before ordering.
The Super Street 5-speed platform is designed with overdrive, giving buyers a manual transmission option that supports both strong performance and improved cruising behavior. The supplied product details state that this transmission can handle up to 600 ft-lbs of torque.
This model uses a 5-speed gear layout with 2.89 first gear, 1.85 second gear, 1.31 third gear, 1.00 fourth gear, and 0.77 fifth gear. The 1.00 fourth gear provides direct-drive operation, while the 0.77 fifth gear provides overdrive capability.
The transmission uses a 1.125-inch input shaft diameter with 26 input splines. It also uses a 32-spline output shaft with a 1.375-inch output shaft spline diameter. These specifications are important because the clutch disc and output yoke must match the transmission configuration.
The Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmissions with Overdrive 7020526B includes a shifter, and the required shifter style is listed as Long. The supplied notes also state that the reverse light switch and wiring harness are included. The bellhousing is not included, and the yoke is not included.
Fitment and Application Details
The Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmissions with Overdrive 7020526B is available for compatible Ford or GM applications. Buyers should confirm the exact vehicle, engine, bellhousing, clutch, driveline, and installation requirements before ordering.
Important fitment details include the vehicle platform, engine family, bellhousing pattern, clutch disc spline count, flywheel, pilot bearing, clutch release system, output yoke, driveshaft length, transmission mount, crossmember position, tunnel clearance, shifter placement, reverse light wiring, and installation hardware.
Because this transmission uses a 26-spline input shaft, it requires a compatible 26-spline clutch disc. Because it uses a 32-spline output shaft, the output yoke must match the output shaft configuration and slip-on yoke style.
The bellhousing is not included, so buyers must select the correct bellhousing for the intended Ford or GM application. The yoke is not included, so a compatible slip-on yoke must also be selected separately.
The transmission includes a Long shifter, which supports shift performance and durability. Buyers should still verify shifter position, console alignment, tunnel clearance, and driver reach before installation.
The included reverse light switch and wiring harness are useful for buyers planning a complete manual transmission installation with reverse light functionality.
Build Quality and Reliability
The Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmissions with Overdrive 7020526B is built using performance-focused Richmond Gear design and manufacturing standards.
The supplied product details state that Richmond Gear Super Street 5-speed transmissions are based on successful Richmond NASCAR-type design and technology. This gives the product line a strong performance foundation for buyers who want serious drivetrain capability.
The transmission is manufactured using CNC machining, gear-cutting technology, and race-proven in-house treating. These processes support gear precision, strength, and durability when the transmission is used in a properly matched drivetrain.
This model is rated to handle up to 600 ft-lbs of torque. That torque capacity makes it suitable for demanding street performance applications when paired with compatible clutch, driveline, mount, and supporting components.
The transmission uses an aluminum case, giving it a strong and practical housing while helping avoid unnecessary weight.
The included Long shifter supports shift performance and durability. This gives buyers a more complete package than a transmission-only listing.
The product is listed as not remanufactured, meaning it is not supplied as a rebuilt used transmission.
What Makes This Transmission a Strong Choice
The Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmissions with Overdrive 7020526B is a strong choice for buyers who want a Richmond Gear performance manual transmission with overdrive and useful installation features.
One of its key features is the 0.77 fifth gear overdrive. This overdrive ratio can help reduce engine rpm during cruising when matched with the correct rear axle ratio, tire size, and overall vehicle setup.
The 2.89 first gear provides strong starting leverage in compatible applications. The 1.85 second gear, 1.31 third gear, and 1.00 fourth gear create a practical manual gear spread for performance driving.
Another important advantage is the 600 ft-lbs torque capacity. This gives the transmission strong power-handling capability for serious street performance builds when the rest of the drivetrain is properly matched.
The included Long shifter adds value because it supports the transmission’s focus on shift performance and durability.
The included reverse light switch and wiring harness also help buyers plan a cleaner installation by supporting reverse light functionality.
For buyers who need a Richmond Gear 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive, 26-spline input shaft, 32-spline output shaft, included shifter, and strong street performance capability, the 7020526B is a focused drivetrain solution.
Ideal Buyers and Use Cases
The Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmissions with Overdrive 7020526B is best for performance vehicle owners, Ford or GM builders, restoration shops, mechanics, drivetrain installers, and street performance enthusiasts.
It is suitable for compatible applications where the buyer needs a 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive, 600 ft-lbs torque capacity, 2.89 first gear, 0.77 fifth gear, 26-spline input, 32-spline output, and aluminum case construction.
This product is useful for builds where the buyer wants strong manual control, improved cruising behavior, and Richmond Gear performance engineering.
It is not a complete universal installation kit. The bellhousing is not included, and the yoke is not included. Buyers should confirm these supporting parts before ordering.
The best buyer for this product is someone who has already confirmed Ford or GM application fitment, bellhousing compatibility, clutch disc spline count, output yoke requirements, shifter position, reverse light wiring needs, driveshaft length, transmission mount position, and full installation requirements.
