Description

Your 1975-1981 Camaro deserves more than a worn-out 3-speed or a tired Muncie 4-speed. This complete TREMEC Magnum 6-speed package delivers modern supercar technology to your second-generation F-body, solving the highway drone problem with double overdrive ratios while providing the torque capacity to handle serious power. The Magnum withstands 700 lb-ft of torque while providing unbelievably crisp shifts - no other manual transmission offers this combination of strength, versatility, and driving refinement.

The TREMEC Magnum represents a ground-up redesign based on the TR-6060 architecture found in factory muscle cars like the Dodge Viper and Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Speed gears feature substantially increased face widths over the original T56, with 2-piece laser-beam welded construction allowing for greater control of tooth angles, pitch, and alignment. The one-piece countershaft eliminates the torque limitations of earlier two-piece designs, while spring-loaded ball-type shift rail inserts replace the old hoop-style struts for remarkably short, low-effort throws with crisp engagement.

MDL has engineered this package specifically for small block and big block Chevrolet applications in '75-'81 Camaros. The complete kit includes everything needed for a professional-grade conversion: TREMEC Magnum transmission, 6-speed bellhousing, hydraulic clutch system with master cylinder and release bearing, custom shifter positioned in the stock location, dedicated crossmember, transmission mount, and all necessary hardware. The shifter maintains the original factory position, preserving your classic interior aesthetic while delivering modern performance.

Each package is customized based on your specific engine combination and performance goals. The GM Magnum weighs approximately 140 lbs dry and uses 3.66 quarts of Dexron III ATF, TREMEC HP-MTF, or GM Synchromesh fluid. MDL's concierge service guides you through component selection - flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, and driveshaft yoke options - ensuring optimal compatibility for your build. Choose from wide-ratio (2.97 first gear) or close-ratio (2.66 first gear) configurations depending on your rear axle ratio and driving style.
