Description

Your '70-'74 Camaro big block deserves a transmission that can handle the torque it produces while delivering a modern driving experience. The TREMEC T56 Magnum 6-speed solves both problems -- it handles 700 lb-ft of torque while providing incredibly crisp shifts and dual overdrive ratios for relaxed highway cruising. This complete conversion package gives you everything needed to swap from your tired automatic or worn-out 4-speed to a double-overdrive 6-speed manual, with all components selected specifically for big block Chevrolet engines in second-generation Camaros.

The Magnum architecture represents a significant evolution over the original T56. Gear face widths are substantially increased to handle more torque, and the 2-piece laser-beam welded gear construction enables much more precise shaping of engagement teeth with better control of pitch and angle. Spring-loaded ball-type inserts replace the stamped keys used in earlier designs, reducing friction and preventing the notchy shifting that plagued high-mileage T56 units. The shift forks feature permanently mounted shift links with enhanced cross-sections for better rigidity and zero deflection. Triple-cone synchronizers on 1st through 4th gears and double-cones on 5th, 6th, and reverse deliver smooth engagement regardless of how hard you row through the gears.

This package approach eliminates the compatibility guesswork that plagues piecemeal conversions. MDL's guided selection walks you through each component category -- transmission, bellhousing, clutch system, flywheel, hydraulic actuation, shifter, crossmember, driveline, and all supporting hardware -- ensuring every piece works together. The console shifter configuration places the shift lever in the factory location, preserving your original interior appearance while adding modern 6-speed performance. Choose from multiple gear ratio sets to optimize your drivetrain for street cruising, highway touring, or track duty.

The 3.66-quart fluid capacity uses Dexron III ATF or GM Synchromesh for straightforward maintenance. Both mechanical and electronic speedometer outputs are built in for seamless gauge integration. MDL's technical support team provides concierge-level guidance to match every component to your specific engine combination, driving style, and budget.
