The factory-installed MT-82 employs a semi-remote shifter attached to the transmission tunnel tied to the transmission via a shifter rail that, at best, delivers sloppy shift performance with the luster of a broomstick in a barrel. Notchy shifting. Locked out gears. And the sinking sound of a failed gearbox.<\/p>\n<p>Prestolite Performance\u2019s 2011 Mustang GT is a rolling showcase for its many and varied product lines including ACCEL, Lakewood, Mallory, Mr. Gasket, and a host of other time-proven names most enthusiasts are familiar with. When Prestolite blew up its MT-82 amid a fury of wide-open throttle performance and acceleration, it looked to Modern Driveline, a TREMEC Elite dealer, for solutions to its drivetrain issues. We stepped up with a complete TREMEC T56 Magnum XL conversion for Prestolite\u2019s Mustang demonstration vehicle, getting these folks back on the road in short order.What makes the Modern Driveline\/TREMEC T56 Magnum XL a slam-dunk for any 2005-15 V-6 or V-8 Mustang is a fiercely rugged and dependable demeanor. The MT-82 transmission simply isn\u2019t up to the task. It was developed to withstand 375 ft\/lbs of torque. The 5.0L Coyote delivers 390 ft\/lbs. Go figure.If you\u2019re going to hit the road with a bang-shift attitude for a little canyon cutting, you want a confident feel in your hand. Without question, the MT-82 is failure-prone either at the shifter or inside the transmission. This is why Modern Driveline offers you a suitable drop-in replacement designed and engineered for a brute Mustang kind of day \u2014 the Modern Driveline\/TREMEC T-56 Magnum XL six-speed manual transmission.<\/p>\n<h3>Here\u2019s what you get for your investment:<\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/mm5\/graphics\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/SIX01-600-1.jpg\" width=\"554\" height=\"432\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>TREMEC T-56 Magnum XL Six-Speed Transmission with Shifter<\/li>\n<li>All Fastening Hardware including ARP<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>QuickTime Custom SFI Approved Bellhousing<\/li>\n<li>Superior Diaphragm Clutch with Multi-Friction Kevlar\/Organic<\/li>\n<li>Modern Driveline U.S. made Lightened Billet Steel Flywheel<\/li>\n<li>S197 U.S. made Steel Crossmember<\/li>\n<li>T-56 Magnum XL Mount<\/li>\n<li>Electronic Reverse Gate Controller<\/li>\n<li>Wiring Harness &amp; Plugs<\/li>\n<li>Shift Ball &amp; Collar<\/li>\n<li>Four Quarts of Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid<\/li>\n<li>High-Speed Dynatech Precision Balanced Aluminum Driveshaft<\/li>\n<li>Highly Detailed Installation Instructions and Lifetime Tech Support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"right\"><a class=\"btn\" title=\"Request your Qoute\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moderndriveline.com\/resources\/quick-quotes\/\">\u00a0Request a TAILORED Quote Now \u00bb\u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The MDL T56 Magnum XL conversion package for the 2005-14 Mustang is an easy weekend install because Modern Driveline has thought of all of it for you.This installation has been executed and photographed to show you how easy the installation is and what it will mean for your S197 Mustang driving experience.Before tackling your T56 Magnum XL swap, it is important to put safety first.
