Description

Transform your 1969 Camaro into a modern performance machine with this complete TREMEC T56 Magnum conversion package engineered specifically for LS-powered builds. The Magnum is the aftermarket's premier 6-speed manual transmission, capable of handling a massive 700 lb-ft of torque while delivering incredibly short, low-effort shift throws with crisp engagement. Known in its OEM form as the TR-6060, the Magnum is the same transmission found in factory muscle cars like the Dodge Challenger, Viper, and Chevrolet Camaro - now available as a complete bolt-in solution for your first-gen F-body.

MDL's guided package selection walks you through every component choice based on your specific build requirements. Choose from multiple gear ratio sets: the close ratio configuration (2.66 first) delivers tighter spacing ideal for road racing and autocross, while the wide ratio (2.97 first) provides stronger low-end grunt for street-driven applications. Both configurations feature double overdrive ratios (0.80 fifth and 0.63 sixth) that reduce highway RPM, improving fuel economy and cruising comfort without sacrificing performance when you need it.

The Magnum's engineering advantages over the original T56 are substantial. Wider face-width gears with 2-piece laser-beam welded construction handle more torque with greater precision. Spring-loaded ball-type synchronizer inserts eliminate the notchy shifting common in older designs. Enhanced shift fork rigidity prevents deflection and ensures positive engagement at high RPM. The fully reversible TKO-style shifter allows multiple mounting positions, and built-in mid-shift provisions simplify forward shifter placement for early cars with bench seats.

This package requires a six-speed bellhousing to mate the Magnum to your LS engine. Little to no tunnel modifications are needed, and the shifter position is retained for that factory look and feel. MDL's concierge service provides expert guidance throughout the selection process, helping you choose the right transmission, clutch system, hydraulics, and accessories for your project goals and budget.
