Description

Stop hunting through salvage yards for a worn-out T-56. The TREMEC Magnum-F delivers TR-6060 architecture in a purpose-built package for 1998-2002 Camaros and Firebirds, eliminating the need for questionable "Stage 6" or "Level X" rebuilds assembled with inferior offshore parts. This close-ratio variant (TUET16362) features a 2.66 first gear - ideal for high-performance street driving and road racing where tight ratio spacing keeps you in the powerband through every gear.

Inside, the Magnum-F shares componentry with today's hardest-hitting OEM muscle cars. Compared to the factory T-56, you get wider face-width on all gears, a robust combination of double and triple-cone synchronizers, enhanced webbing in the main case, and provisions for an external cooler circuit. The 4616 chromoly gears and shafts with a one-piece countershaft deliver the durability to back up the 700 lb-ft torque rating. TREMEC also upgraded to an isolator-type shifter - the same design found in the Magnum XL - which reduces in-cabin noise and vibration while delivering the precise, communicative shift feel the Magnum line is known for.

The Magnum-F's unique shifter location solves a longstanding fitment problem in the Magnum lineup. At 31.8 inches overall length, it's shorter than both the standard Magnum and the Magnum XL, placing the shifter exactly where the factory F-body console expects it. This makes it a direct swap for LS1-powered fourth-gen cars using the factory bellhousing, and it also fits third-generation F-bodies, LT1-powered fourth-gens, and sport compact applications like A80 Supras and FD RX-7s that previously relied on salvage F-body T-56 units for the correct shifter position.

Note: Requires changing the slip yoke to 31-spline from the stock 27-spline. Accepts factory internal slave cylinder from 1998-2002 F-body. The included isolator shifter will not accept 1993-2002 Camaro/Firebird shifter levers - for proper console fitment without modification, a 1993-2002 F-body style shifter is required. Fluid capacity: 4 quarts (TREMEC HP-MTF, Dexron-III, or Mobil 1 ATF). Dry weight: 128 lbs.

Built from 100% new OEM-grade components, the Magnum-F eliminates the shrinking parts supply and reliability concerns that plague aging T56 transmissions while delivering substantially improved performance.

Inside, the Magnum-F features the same durable componentry found in today's hardest-hitting OEM muscle cars. Compared to the original T56, the Magnum-F boasts increased face width on all gears, a robust combination of double and triple cone synchronizers for smooth high-RPM shifts, enhanced webbing in the main case for rigidity, and provisions for a cooler circuit on demanding applications. The 4616 chromoly gears and one-piece countershaft handle 700 lb-ft of torque without breaking a sweat - no modifications required.

The Magnum-F's shifter location solves the fitment puzzle that has frustrated F-body and sport compact builders for years. Where the standard Magnum positions the shifter too far forward and the Magnum XL places it too far back, the Magnum-F's 29.4-inch location from the bellhousing face hits the factory-correct spot for fourth-gen F-bodies. This same position makes the Magnum-F ideal for third-gen F-bodies, LT1-powered fourth-gens, LS-swapped late models, and sport compact applications like A80 Supras and FD RX-7s that previously relied on factory F-body T56 units for their shifter placement.

The included isolator-type shifter - the same design found on the Magnum XL - reduces in-cabin noise and vibration while delivering the precise, communicative shift feel that defines the Magnum lineup. Installation requires a 31-spline slip yoke (replacing the factory 27-spline) and driveshaft length adjustment. The transmission accepts the factory 1998-2002 Camaro/Firebird internal slave cylinder for a straightforward hydraulic clutch setup. Fluid capacity is 4 quarts; TREMEC HP-MTF, Dexron III, or Mobil 1 ATF recommended.

Stop crawling through junkyards for usable T-56 cores. The pool of quality F-body T-56 replacement parts has been shrinking for years, leaving fourth-gen Camaro and Firebird owners with limited options: hunt for salvage transmissions of questionable condition, or pay for over-hyped "Stage 6" rebuilds using inferior offshore components. The TREMEC Magnum-F eliminates both problems by delivering a brand-new, purpose-built 6-speed with 700 lb-ft of torque capacity and the F-body-specific shifter location that makes it a direct swap.

Built on the proven TR-6060/Magnum architecture found in today's factory muscle cars, the Magnum-F packs serious engineering advantages over the original T-56. All gears feature substantially increased face width, and the 4616 chromoly gears and shafts use two-piece laser-beam welded construction for superior control of tooth angles, pitch, and alignment. A robust combination of double and triple cone synchronizers delivers crisp engagement, while enhanced webbing in the main case adds strength. Provisions for an external cooler circuit handle the thermal demands of high-performance applications.

This wide-ratio variant (TUET17638) features a 2.97 first gear paired with ultra-tall 0.74 fifth and 0.50 sixth gear overdrives - perfect for pro-touring builds, highway cruisers, and street machines that need strong launch capability plus relaxed freeway RPM. The isolator-type shifter, similar to the unit found on the Magnum XL and late-model OEM applications, reduces cabin noise and vibration without sacrificing the short throws and communicative shift feel that define the Magnum experience.

Designed first and foremost as a direct replacement for 1998-2002 LS1-powered F-bodies, the Magnum-F also fits third-generation F-bodies and 1993-1997 LT1 models with minimal modification.

Description

The flywheel-to-crankshaft connection is one of the most critical fastener applications in your drivetrain. LS engines — with their cross-plane crankshaft design — generate significant vibrations and torque pulses that place heavy demands on flywheel hardware. Using the correct fasteners with proper torque specs prevents bolts from backing out, which can destroy the clutch assembly, rod bearings, and transmission bearings.

This hex head flywheel bolt kit is built to M11 x 1.5 specification for direct compatibility with GM Gen III and Gen IV LS crankshafts. The hex head design provides reliable wrench engagement, reducing the risk of rounded fasteners during high-torque installation. These bolts deliver the clamping force your LS engine demands whether you're completing an LS swap, a rebuild, or replacing worn factory hardware.

Compatible with LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, and L92 series engines. Always use new flywheel bolts when installing a flywheel — reusing stretched or fatigued hardware on this critical connection invites failure. Follow GM's recommended three-stage torque sequence: first pass at 15 ft-lbs, second pass at 37 ft-lbs, and final torque at 74 ft-lbs in a star pattern for even clamping.

What's Included

• 6 hex head flywheel bolts (M11 x 1.5 thread pitch)

Description

Loose or worn flywheel bolts are a ticking time bomb in any LS build. When flywheel hardware backs out, the resulting damage cascades through the drivetrain - destroying clutch assemblies, damaging rod bearings, and taking out transmission bearings. This flywheel bolt kit delivers the OEM-spec hardware your LS engine demands for secure flywheel mounting.

Each bolt features an M11 x 1.5 thread pitch matched to GM LS crankshaft specifications. The hex head design works with standard sockets for straightforward installation - no specialty tools required. LS engines are notorious for the significant vibration generated by their cross-plane crankshafts, and with displacements reaching 7.0 liters in some variants, proper flywheel mounting hardware is critical to drivetrain longevity.

Compatible with LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, and L92 Series engines. Follow the GM-recommended three-pass torque sequence: 15 lb-ft on the first pass, 37 lb-ft on the second pass, and 74 lb-ft final torque. This staged approach ensures even compression across the flywheel face. GM recommends applying blue thread locker to each bolt when using this torque pattern to prevent loosening under the extreme rotational forces these bolts endure.

Kit Includes

• (8) Flywheel bolts with hex heads
• M11 x 1.5 thread pitch specification
• Manufacturer's warranty against defects

Flywheel Bolt Kit | GM LS9 9-Bolt Crankshaft | Set of 9

Key Features

• Complete nine-bolt set specifically designed for LS9 crankshaft flange pattern
• M11-1.5 x 23.5mm thread specification matching OEM dimensions
• Torque sequence: 15 lb-ft > 37 lb-ft > 74 lb-ft (three-pass)
• Eliminates sourcing hassle for the LS9's unique 9-bolt configuration
• Backed by manufacturer's warranty against defects

Description

The LS9's supercharged 6.2L V8 didn't just get more horsepower than its LS siblings--it got a completely different flywheel bolt pattern. While standard LS engines use a 6-bolt crankshaft flange and newer LSA/LT variants moved to 8 bolts, the LS9 stands alone with its 9-bolt configuration. This kit delivers all nine bolts you need to properly secure your flywheel to that unique crankshaft flange.

Each bolt features M11-1.5 threading with 23.5mm length, matching GM's factory specifications exactly. Proper installation requires a three-pass torque sequence: first tighten all bolts to 15 lb-ft, then 37 lb-ft, and finally 74 lb-ft in a crisscross pattern. This graduated approach ensures even clamping force distribution across the flywheel face, preventing the distortion and bolt loosening that plague improperly torqued assemblies. Incorrect flywheel bolt torque on high-output LS engines can cause bolts to back out, destroying the clutch assembly and eventually damaging rod bearings and transmission components.

Whether you're building a Corvette ZR1 restoration, dropping an LS9 crate engine into a swap project, or refreshing an existing clutch setup, this complete nine-piece kit ensures you have the correct hardware on hand. No more hunting for individual bolts or questioning whether you have the right count for that distinctive 9-bolt pattern.

Description

Factory flywheel bolts are a weak link in high-performance LS builds. OEM hardware simply is not engineered to handle the stress of aggressive clutch dumps, high-RPM shifts, or sustained track use. ARP's Pro Series Flywheel Bolt Kit delivers the strength upgrade serious LS builders demand, replacing marginal factory fasteners with aerospace-grade hardware rated at 200,000 psi tensile strength.

Each bolt is forged from 8740 chromoly steel - a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy prized for its exceptional balance of tensile strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. ARP heat-treats the material before thread rolling and machining, a critical sequence that maximizes thread integrity and dimensional accuracy. The exclusive flat 12-point head design accepts a standard 1/2-inch socket and provides superior engagement compared to hex heads, reducing the risk of rounding under high torque loads.

The larger-than-stock shank diameter does more than just add strength - it improves flywheel register by filling more of the mounting hole, reducing the chance of flywheel movement under load. The 0.880-inch under-head length is engineered specifically for LS Series crankshafts, ensuring proper thread engagement without bottoming out. Black oxide finish provides corrosion protection while maintaining the professional appearance serious builders expect.

Compatible with LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LS7, and L92 series engines. Complete 6-bolt set includes everything needed to secure your flywheel with confidence.

Description

Extracting maximum performance from a high-torque LS engine requires a clutch that bridges the gap between aggressive track bite and civilized street manners. This dual-friction Superior clutch disc solves that challenge by pairing Kevlar on the flywheel side with a steel-backed organic facing on the pressure plate side. The result is a clutch that hooks hard under load yet remains smooth and predictable in stop-and-go traffic.

Why the hybrid configuration? Kevlar's coefficient of friction actually increases with temperature—meaning torque capacity goes up, not down, under hard use. It also resists burning and delivers exceptional longevity. Meanwhile, the steel-backed organic side provides the smooth modulation and forgiving engagement drivers expect on the street. This combination delivers more grip than a pure organic disc while maintaining better driveability than an all-Kevlar setup—the sweet spot for street performance and weekend track duty.

Every Superior clutch disc is hand-built in MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility. Each disc goes through rigorous quality control—checked and double-checked for tolerances—before it ships. The 11" diaphragm pressure plate provides high clamping force without excessive pedal effort, and the sprung hub dampens engagement shock for chatter-free operation. Rated at 500 lb-ft, this kit is sized right for naturally aspirated and moderately boosted LS builds.

Fits GM LS engines paired with T56 or T56 Magnum transmissions using a 26-spline, 1-1/8" input shaft. Designed exclusively for hydraulic clutch actuation systems. Note: No throwout bearing or pilot bearing included—order separately based on your bellhousing and crankshaft configuration.

Description

High-performance LS builds demand clutch systems that can handle serious power while maintaining streetability. The MDL Superior 11" Kevlar clutch set delivers exactly that balance—rated at 550 lb-ft of torque capacity with dual Kevlar friction surfaces that actually increase grip under hard use rather than fading like organic compounds. When heat builds during aggressive driving, Kevlar's coefficient of friction rises, giving you more holding power precisely when you need it most.

Unlike organic materials that lose torque capacity at elevated temperatures and can burn when slipped excessively, Kevlar resists wear significantly better and won't sustain permanent heat damage under demanding conditions. The sprung hub design absorbs drivetrain shock loads, delivering smooth engagement without the chatter common to solid-hub racing clutches. This combination makes the Superior series ideal for vehicles that split time between spirited street driving and open track days.

The diaphragm-style pressure plate provides progressive pedal feel with clamping force that actually increases over the life of the clutch—delivering lower pedal effort than Long-style pressure plates while maintaining consistent performance. The 12-5/8" equal bolt pattern matches standard GM LS flywheel configurations, and the 26-spline x 1-1/8" hub provides direct compatibility with T56 and T5 transmissions.

• Inner landing design fits the innermost pocket of LS crankshaft flanges
• Sealed bearing construction prevents contamination and lubricant loss
• Correct bearing for LS3 T-56 conversion applications and similar setups
• Compatible with GM LS1, LS3, and LS6 engines

Description

Selecting the correct pilot bearing for an LS engine and TREMEC transmission combination is critical - the wrong bearing position or size leaves the input shaft unsupported, causing shifting issues and accelerated transmission wear. This sealed pilot bearing is engineered for applications requiring the small-diameter bearing that seats in the innermost pocket (Position A) of the LS crankshaft flange.

The 1.096" outer diameter press-fits into the inner landing of LS1, LS3, and LS6 crankshafts, while the 0.590" bore matches the pilot tip diameter of standard TREMEC T-56, Magnum, and TKO input shafts. The 0.720" width ensures adequate support depth at the pilot tip - the most critical point for maintaining input shaft alignment and preventing premature bearing failure.

Use this bearing when your transmission input shaft protrudes approximately 3/4" to 1" past the front face of the bellhousing. For T-56 conversions behind LS3 engines using aftermarket bellhousings, this is typically the correct bearing position. Always verify input shaft protrusion and crankshaft pocket dimensions before installation - the bearing should be a slight interference fit into the crankshaft. Install by pressing on the outer race only, and ensure the sealed side faces outward (toward the transmission) to retain lubrication.

What's Included

• 1x Sealed pilot bearing (1.096" OD x 0.590" ID x 0.720" width)

Key Features

• Oversize 1.705" outer diameter fits enlarged pilot bores in aftermarket crankshafts and GM crate engines
• 0.590" inner diameter accepts standard GM transmission input shafts
• 0.511" thick sealed roller bearing design
• Installs in the outer pocket (position "B") of the LS crankshaft flange
• Double-sealed construction allows installation in either direction
• Compatible with LS2, LS3, LS7, and LT4 applications

Description

When you're running an aftermarket crankshaft or GM crate engine with an oversized pilot bore, standard pilot bearings won't cut it. This oversize pilot bearing solves that fitment problem with a 1.705" outer diameter designed specifically for enlarged crankshaft bores. The larger OD ensures a proper press fit in the outer pocket of the crankshaft flange, maintaining the precise alignment between engine and transmission that prevents input shaft wear and shift quality issues.

The 0.590" inner diameter accepts standard GM transmission input shafts, making this bearing compatible with T56, T56 Magnum, TKO, and TKX applications when paired with the appropriate bellhousing combination. The sealed roller bearing design provides smooth, low-friction support for the input shaft pilot tip while preventing contamination from clutch dust and debris.

Double-sealed construction means you can install this bearing in either direction into the crankshaft flange. For proper installation, always use a mechanical pilot bearing puller for removal - never hydraulic methods, as many GM LS engines use a press-in oil plug deep inside the crankshaft flange that must not be disturbed. Press only on the outer race during installation and verify the inner portion spins freely once seated.

Fits LS2, LS3, LS7, and LT4 engines where the crankshaft pilot bearing bore has been machined oversize or was manufactured oversize from the factory. Always measure your crankshaft bore diameter before ordering to confirm fitment.

What's Included

• (1) Double-sealed pilot bearing - 1.705" OD x 0.590" ID x 0.511" thick

Description

Fourth-gen Camaro clutch hydraulics are notorious for pedal issues -- stuck pedals, spongy feel, and incomplete disengagement that makes high-RPM shifting a nightmare. This OEM-specification 0.750" bore master cylinder solves those problems with proper fluid volume delivery for 1993-1997 Camaro applications.

The engineering advantage is in the bore-to-stroke ratio. At 0.750" bore with a full 1.4" stroke, this cylinder moves the fluid volume modern slave cylinders demand -- whether you're running an internal hydraulic release bearing or an external slave setup. Undersized or short-stroke cylinders leave you with incomplete clutch release and all the shifting headaches that follow. This unit is sized to work, not just fit.

The master cylinder accepts DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid -- no high-temp racing fluid required for clutch applications. It's a direct bolt-in replacement that maintains factory pedal geometry and feel, making it ideal for restorations, transmission swaps, or clutch upgrades on your fourth-gen F-body.

Built in the USA with OEM-grade construction and materials. Pair with internal hydraulic release bearings or external slave cylinders for a complete hydraulic clutch solution on T5, TKO, TKX, or T56 Magnum conversions.

Description

Factory roll pin hydraulic connections don't always cooperate when you're upgrading to high-performance braided clutch lines or performing a transmission swap. This 90-degree elbow fitting bridges that gap, converting a male roll pin port to a male -4AN connection so you can run modern steel braided hydraulic lines to your slave cylinder or master cylinder.

The 90-degree angle is the key here—it allows clean, low-profile routing in tight quarters where a straight fitting would kink the line or interfere with adjacent components. Whether you're tucking lines behind a bellhousing or routing around exhaust, this elbow keeps your hydraulic plumbing neat and functional.

Steel construction handles the hydraulic pressure demands of performance clutch systems without flex or fatigue, while the black finish provides corrosion resistance and a clean underhood appearance. The -4AN sizing delivers optimal flow for quick clutch engagement and release—an important consideration for performance driving where pedal feel and response matter.

This fitting is commonly used in applications like GM F-Body vehicles with TREMEC T56 transmissions, as well as any build where you need to adapt factory roll pin hydraulic components to aftermarket AN-style braided lines. Installation instructions are included to guide you through the process.

Description

GM-style T56 and Magnum transmissions use a concentric slave cylinder to operate the clutch release mechanism -- the CSC combines the slave cylinder and throwout bearing into a single unit that mounts to the transmission input shaft bearing retainer. This OE-style hydraulic release bearing from MDL delivers reliable clutch actuation for your LS swap or performance build, featuring a GM quick disconnect fitting that makes high-pressure line routing straightforward.

The quick disconnect fitting snaps directly onto the CSC body for fast, leak-free connections to your hydraulic clutch line. A remote vent fitting routes the bleeder port outside the bellhousing, eliminating the messy and time-consuming process of bleeding the system from inside the bell. This design is ideal for aftermarket applications where bellhousing access is limited or where you need to service the hydraulics without pulling the transmission.

Fitment includes GM LS-pattern T56, T56 Magnum, and Super Magnum six-speed transmissions when installed in aftermarket hot rod, muscle car, or street rod applications. Note that the quick disconnect fitting does protrude from the bellhousing -- if clearance is an issue in your chassis, MDL also offers a low-clearance version (MD-900-2100-LC) with flexible braided lines instead of the quick disconnect.

Description

OEM concentric slave cylinders in GM T56 applications are notorious for heat-related failures and inconsistent pedal feel under hard use. The MD-900-2505-A solves these problems with Tilton's race-proven 6000-Series hydraulic release bearing technology, packaged as a complete bolt-on kit for GM T56, Magnum, and Magnum XL six-speed transmissions.

The engineering starts with a billet aluminum body and piston, precision-machined at Tilton's California facility. Unlike plastic-bodied OEM units that distort under heat cycling, the all-metal construction maintains tight tolerances even in demanding conditions. The high-temperature mono-seal design incorporates a quad tensioner to maintain proper seal loading - critical for consistent hydraulic pressure and long service life. This constant-contact bearing self-adjusts as your clutch wears, eliminating the need for periodic adjustment and maintaining the same pedal feel throughout the clutch's lifespan.

Installation leverages the OE CSC mounting feature on the T56/Magnum front plate, so this kit bolts directly in place of your factory hydraulic release bearing. The stainless steel threaded sleeve provides nearly 1.25 inches of height adjustability (1.77 to 3.00 inches total bearing height), accommodating everything from stock replacement clutches to aggressive racing setups. The full 0.700 inches of piston travel handles even high-clamp-load pressure plates.

The 2-1/8" diameter provides the ideal grip size -- large enough for confident throws under hard driving, compact enough to clear console-mounted components without interference.

The laser-engraved 6-speed shift pattern on top gives you clear gear position reference that will never fade, chip, or wear off over years of aggressive shifting. Unlike printed or embossed patterns that deteriorate with use, the engraving is cut directly into the aluminum surface for permanent legibility. The MDL logo on the side confirms you're running genuine Modern Driveline equipment.

This shift ball features 16mm x 1.50 threading, which is the universal standard for aftermarket shift knobs. MDL stocks thread reducing inserts that adapt the 16mm bore to fit popular shifter thread sizes including 8mm-1.25, 9mm-1.25, 12mm-1.75, and 3/8-24, ensuring compatibility across Ford, GM, and Mopar applications. The 4-ounce weight provides substantial feel in your palm without the excessive mass that can accelerate shifter wear or create unwanted momentum during rapid gear changes.

Proudly made in the USA, this shift ball represents the fit, finish, and attention to detail that serious builders expect from MDL. Grab it, shift it, go.

Description

Swapping to a TKO or TKX five-speed means ditching the factory mechanical speedometer cable - but your electronic dash, engine management system, or cruise control still needs a reliable speed signal. This digital speedometer sensor plugs directly into the Ford-style VSS port on your TREMEC transmission's passenger-side tail housing and delivers a clean 16-pulse signal that works with the industry-standard 16,000 pulses-per-mile input most aftermarket speedometers and ECUs expect.

The three-wire Hall effect design provides a stable square wave output that won't degrade over long wire runs. The included 10-foot pigtail harness gives you plenty of length to route wiring cleanly through the tunnel and up to your dash or ECU, with a three-pin connector for easy hookup. The Allen-head mounting bolt is a thoughtful detail - standard hex-head fasteners can interfere with the sensor body in tight quarters, so this design ensures proper installation without clearance issues.

Beyond the TKO and TKX, this sensor also works with T-5z 5-speed and 6-speed Magnum transmissions when paired with Ford-driven speedometer gears and a retainer clip. Note that it does not fit Super Magnum, Magnum XL, or Magnum F transmissions - those use a different VSS configuration. If you're running a Dakota Digital, Classic Instruments, Auto Meter, or other programmable electronic speedometer, this sensor's 16,000 PPM output drops right into their standard calibration range.

What's Included

• 16-pulse digital speedometer sensor with three-pin connector
• 10-foot three-wire pigtail harness
• Allen-head mounting bolt

Key Features

• Factory-style 2-wire connector plugs directly into T56 reverse lockout solenoid
• Pre-wired pigtail eliminates custom splicing and unreliable field connections
• Compatible with TREMEC T56 6-speed transmissions
• Essential for wiring to aftermarket reverse lockout control modules, brake switches, or manual toggles

Description

The TREMEC T56 6-speed uses a reverse lockout solenoid to prevent accidental shifts into reverse while attempting to engage 5th gear--a real concern because reverse and 5th are positioned dangerously close in the shift gate. When swapping a T56 into a classic vehicle originally equipped with a T5, T45, or older 4/5-speed transmission, the factory electronics lack support for this solenoid, leaving builders without a clean way to wire the lockout system.

This pre-wired solenoid harness provides the electrical connection your reverse lockout needs. The factory-style connector snaps directly onto the solenoid mounted on the transmission case, eliminating the guesswork and potential wiring errors that come with spliced connections. The solenoid operates simply: when energized at low vehicle speeds, the lockout retracts to allow reverse engagement; de-energized at higher speeds, it mechanically blocks the shift gate from entering reverse.

Use this harness to connect the solenoid to an aftermarket reverse lockout control module (speed-based), a brake pedal switch circuit, or a manual dashboard toggle. The harness gives you the clean starting point you need for whatever activation method you choose--just run your control wiring to this pigtail and plug into the transmission.

Compatible with all TREMEC T56 6-speed transmissions. A simple, inexpensive component that prevents frustrating wiring headaches during your swap or build.

Kit Includes

• Pre-wired 2-wire electrical harness with factory-style solenoid connector

Description

Modern manual transmissions feature complex internal components -- multiple gear sets, clutch packs and narrow oil passageways -- that demand a steady supply of high-quality fluid to function properly. Without it, wear and sludge formation can lead to reduced performance and even catastrophic failure requiring thousands of dollars in repairs. This AMSOIL Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid delivers the Dexron III specification required by TREMEC transmissions while providing protection that exceeds conventional fluids.

In both normal and severe service, this synthetic ATF resists wear to the transmission's valve body, gears, clutch plates and synchronizers, helping your TREMEC achieve long service life. The thermally stable formulation guards against the harmful effects of thermal breakdown in elevated heat conditions, while resisting heat-related evaporation and viscosity loss to keep internal components clean and protected.

Formulated with friction modifiers that promote fast, smooth clutch engagement, this fluid delivers responsive shift feel and efficient torque transfer. It remains fluid in sub-zero temperatures, resisting thickening and flowing quickly for reliable shifts during cold starts. The excellent low-temperature fluidity also maximizes fuel efficiency. Seal conditioners help guard against leaks at input shaft seals and other critical points.

TREMEC TKX transmissions use Dexron III or Dexron III/Mercon specification ATF fluid, and Dexron III ATF is also recommended for T56 and TR3650 models. The T5, TKO and TKX five-speed transmissions require approximately 2.75 quarts, while six-speed Magnum transmissions require approximately 3.45 quarts. TREMEC recommends changing fluid after the initial 500-1000 mile break-in period, then every 30,000 miles thereafter.
