Are you plagued with shifting issues in your 2005-up Mustang, including the 2011 and 2012 Mustangs?Have you beefed up the motor with power adders, pushing beyond the limits of the TR3650 (2005-2010) or Getrag MT-82 (2011-2012)? Is the 2-piece driveshaft causing vibration issues at high speeds?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

  The TREMEC\u00ae T56 Magnum XL 6-speed transmission is aimed specifically at S197 Mustang enthusiasts! The new \u2018direct-shift\u201d T56 Magnum\u2122 XL for 2005-up Ford Mustangs represents a long-awaited solution to the semi-remote shifter woes experienced by many 2005-up Mustang owners, as well as, TREMEC\u2019s most significant foray into the Mustang aftermarket since the days of emerging 5.0 Fox-body performance!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Shift issues solved<\/h2>\n

Designed almost exclusively with S197 Mustangs in mind, this new model draws from a combination of proven OE (Shelby GT500) and racing (Grand-Am Cup) technologies. Featuring an application-specific \u2018direct-shift\u2019 extension housing, the Magnum solves the issue of numb, inaccurate shifts offered by the factory semi-remote shifter; replacing them instead with crisp, clean, confidence-inspiring throws. The S197\u2019s exceptional driver ergonomics are maintained; along with the added ability to custom tailor shift action thanks to TREMEC\u2019s innovative \u201cadjustable-bias\u201d short-throw shifter, standard on every new assembly!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

High Performance kit<\/h2>\n

Other significant features include a slip yoke rear interface, eliminating the need for complex 2-piece driveshafts, and an SFI-approved steel bellhousing for added safety in high-horsepower applications!\u00a0 Installation is simple thanks to a thoughtful design by TREMEC engineers and a TREMEC supplied swap-specific crossmember. In most cases, users can even retain their factory clutch release system. Like all Magnum series transmissions, the new model carries with it a generous 700 lb-ft torque capacity rating and the choice of two exclusive gear ratio combinations.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
