Description

Transform your 1968-1972 Chevelle into a modern muscle machine with this complete TREMEC Magnum 6-speed conversion package. The Magnum solves the classic muscle car compromise - you no longer have to choose between stoplight launches and comfortable highway cruising. With dual overdrive ratios (0.80 fifth and 0.63 sixth), the Magnum keeps RPMs low at interstate speeds while delivering brutal acceleration when you need it. This is the same TR-6060-based architecture found in the Dodge Challenger, Viper, and Chevrolet Camaro from the factory.

The engineering speaks for itself. Unlike older T56 designs that used weaker two-piece countershafts, the Magnum employs a one-piece countershaft with thicker journals and widened gear faces for extraordinary torque handling. Spring-loaded ball-type synchronizer inserts replace the old stamped keys, reducing friction and preventing notchy shifting for incredibly short, smooth gear changes. Two-piece laser-beam welded gear construction allows for superior tooth angle and pitch control with positive stops to prevent over-travel on hard shifts.

Due to the Magnum's robust case dimensions, tunnel modifications are required in '68-'72 Chevelles. This package includes MDL's precision sheet metal tunnel extension that attaches directly to the OEM floor pan, maintaining structural integrity while providing proper transmission clearance. Our guided package selection walks you through every component choice - from aluminum or steel bellhousings to hydraulic release bearing options that eliminate mechanical linkage complexity entirely.

Every component is selected specifically for the LS-powered Chevelle application. MDL's concierge service ensures proper part selection for your project and budget - contact us at any point during the selection process. Fluid capacity: approximately 3.66 quarts of Dexron III ATF, GM Synchromesh, or TREMEC HP-MTF.
