Description
Richmond Gear Super Street 7020526B Transmission Overview
The Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmission with Overdrive 7020526B is part of the Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmissions with Overdrive product line and is designed for builders who need a strong, street-friendly manual transmission with modern overdrive capability.
This transmission is listed under Manufacturer’s Part Number 7020526B, Summit Racing Part Number RMG-7020526B, and UPC 698231784495. It is sold individually and includes the shifter, reverse light switch, and wiring harness.
The transmission uses a 1.125-inch input shaft diameter, 26-spline input shaft, 32-spline output shaft, and 1.375-inch output shaft spline diameter. It also uses a slip-on yoke style, though the yoke is not included.
Based on Richmond’s successful NASCAR-type design and technology, this Super Street 5-speed is manufactured using CNC machining, advanced gear-cutting technology, and race-proven in-house treating.
For builders who want the feel of a performance manual transmission with added cruising comfort, the Richmond Gear 7020526B Super Street 5-speed provides a strong combination of torque capacity, shift performance, and overdrive usability.
Vehicle Fitment and Common Applications
The Richmond Gear Super Street 7020526B is available for compatible Ford or GM applications, depending on the correct bellhousing, clutch, yoke, driveshaft, crossmember, shifter position, and vehicle setup.
Fitment should be verified by checking the vehicle platform, engine, bellhousing compatibility, clutch disc spline count, pilot bearing, flywheel, release bearing, clutch linkage or hydraulic system, output yoke, driveshaft length, transmission mount, crossmember location, tunnel clearance, reverse light wiring, and intended torque level.
This transmission includes a Long-style shifter, which supports strong shift performance and durability. Buyers should confirm shifter position and interior clearance before ordering.
Because the transmission uses a 26-spline input shaft, buyers need a compatible 26-spline clutch disc. Because it uses a 32-spline output shaft and slip-on yoke style, buyers must select the correct compatible yoke separately.
The bellhousing is not included, so buyers should choose the correct bellhousing for the engine, clutch system, chassis, and installation requirements.
5-Speed Overdrive Performance
The Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmission with Overdrive gives builders a useful balance of low-speed acceleration, direct-drive performance, and highway cruising comfort.
The gear ratios for this model are:
| Gear | Ratio |
|---|---|
| First Gear | 2.89:1 |
| Second Gear | 1.85:1 |
| Third Gear | 1.31:1 |
| Fourth Gear | 1.00:1 |
| Fifth Gear | 0.77:1 |
The 2.89 first gear ratio supports strong launch and low-speed drivability in compatible performance builds. The 1.00 fourth gear provides direct-drive operation, while the 0.77 fifth gear overdrive helps reduce cruising RPM compared with a traditional 4-speed transmission.
This makes the Richmond Super Street 7020526B a strong option for performance street vehicles, restomods, muscle cars, light trucks, and custom builds where the owner wants classic manual control with improved highway usability.
Gear ratio selection should always be matched to the engine torque curve, rear axle ratio, tire diameter, vehicle weight, clutch setup, and intended driving style.
Torque Capacity and Street Performance Strength
The Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmission 7020526B is rated to handle up to 600 ft-lbs of torque, making it suitable for many performance street and high-output applications when paired with the correct clutch and drivetrain components.
The transmission is based on Richmond NASCAR-type design and technology, giving it a serious performance foundation. It is manufactured using CNC machining, gear-cutting technology, and race-proven in-house treating.
These manufacturing features support strength, gear quality, shift consistency, and long-term durability. For buyers upgrading from an older manual transmission or building a stronger performance drivetrain, this Richmond Gear 5-speed overdrive transmission provides a practical modern upgrade.
Shifter, Reverse Light Switch, and Wiring
A key advantage of the Richmond Gear Super Street 7020526B is that it includes the shifter. The supplied details state that these transmissions include a Long shifter for strong shift performance and durability.
The product notes also state that the reverse light switch and wiring harness are included. This adds installation value and helps buyers plan the electrical side of the transmission installation more clearly.
The transmission still requires proper wiring, adjustment, and verification during installation. Buyers should confirm vehicle-side reverse light wiring compatibility and routing before installation.
Because shifter fitment can vary by chassis, seat position, console layout, tunnel shape, and driver preference, buyers should confirm that the included Long-style shifter suits the intended vehicle setup.
Input, Output, and Driveline Details
The Richmond Gear 7020526B Super Street 5-speed uses a 1.125-inch input shaft diameter with 26 splines. Buyers should select a compatible 26-spline clutch disc during installation planning.
The output shaft uses 32 splines with a 1.375-inch output shaft spline diameter. The yoke style is listed as slip-on, but the yoke is not included.
Correct driveline planning is important. Buyers should confirm the output yoke, driveshaft length, transmission mount location, crossmember position, slip yoke engagement, speedometer requirements, and final driveline angle before installation.
The transmission does not include a bellhousing, so bellhousing selection should be matched to the engine, clutch, pilot bearing, starter placement, and chassis setup.
Case Design and Build Quality
The Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmission with Overdrive 7020526B uses an aluminum case, helping reduce weight while supporting strength for performance street applications.
Richmond’s manufacturing approach combines CNC machining, advanced gear cutting, and race-proven in-house treatment. This supports consistent internal geometry, gear durability, and reliable operation.
The Super Street 5-speed design is built for buyers who want more than a basic replacement transmission. It is engineered for performance use while still offering practical overdrive drivability.
Because this transmission is listed as remanufactured: no, it is not a rebuilt used transmission.
Included and Not Included Components
The Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmission with Overdrive 7020526B is sold individually as a transmission assembly.
The supplied specifications state:
| Component | Included |
| Transmission Assembly | Yes |
| Shifter | Yes |
| Reverse Light Switch | Yes |
| Wiring Harness | Yes |
| Bellhousing | No |

Key Benefits for Performance Builders
The Richmond Gear Super Street 7020526B gives builders a strong 5-speed manual transmission with practical overdrive and street-performance durability.
The first major benefit is torque capacity. With support for up to 600 ft-lbs of torque, this transmission is suitable for many strong performance builds when properly matched.
The second benefit is highway drivability. The 0.77 fifth gear overdrive helps reduce cruising RPM, making the vehicle more comfortable for street and highway use.
The third benefit is included installation value. The Long-style shifter, reverse light switch, and wiring harness are included, reducing the number of major transmission-specific parts buyers need to source separately.
The fourth benefit is build quality. Richmond’s CNC machining, gear-cutting technology, race-proven in-house treating, and NASCAR-type design foundation support strength and shift performance.
Who This Transmission Is Best For
The Richmond Gear Super Street 5-Speed Transmission with Overdrive 7020526B is best for builders who need a durable 5-speed manual transmission for compatible Ford or GM performance applications.
It is suitable for muscle cars, restomod projects, high-performance street vehicles, light trucks, custom drivetrain builds, and owners upgrading from older 4-speed transmissions to a manual transmission with overdrive.
This product is a strong choice for buyers who need 600 ft-lbs torque capacity, a 26-spline input shaft, 32-spline output shaft, 2.89 first gear, 0.77 overdrive fifth gear, aluminum case, included Long shifter, and included reverse light wiring components.
It is not intended for buyers who need a complete conversion kit with bellhousing, yoke, clutch, flywheel, crossmember, mount, driveshaft, speedometer parts, fluid, or all installation hardware included. Those components must be selected separately based on the vehicle and drivetrain setup.
