Description

Transform your 1968 Camaro big block's drivetrain with TREMEC's flagship double-overdrive 6-speed transmission. This complete package eliminates the guesswork of component selection by bundling everything needed for a professional-grade T56 Magnum conversion specifically engineered for your BBC-powered first-gen Camaro.

The Magnum handles a tire-shredding 700 lb-ft of torque while delivering unbelievably crisp shifts - exactly what big block torque demands. Known in its original equipment form as the TR-6060, the Magnum is the aftermarket version of the same transmission found in factory muscle cars like the Dodge Viper and fifth-gen Camaro. The double overdrive design drops highway RPM dramatically - your 454 or 502 will loaf along at cruise speeds while maintaining the brutal acceleration characteristics that made you choose a big block in the first place.

Our package configurator walks you through transmission selection (gear ratios, shifter options), bellhousing matching, flywheel specifications, clutch systems (single or dual-disc), hydraulic components, crossmember requirements, and all supporting hardware. TREMEC designed the Magnum to use a dedicated 6-speed bellhousing bolt pattern, and with the correct crossmember setup, little to no tunnel modification is required. The Magnum's multiple shifter mounting positions let you retain the stock console location for a factory appearance with modern supercar shift quality.

Every component is verified for 1968 Camaro fitment with big block Chevy V8 engines. MDL has developed and selected the best components available to provide a complete, high-quality package that bolts together correctly the first time without compatibility issues or missing pieces.
