Description

Your FE-powered Ford truck deserves more than a tired 3-speed or 4-speed. This complete TREMEC T56 Magnum 6-speed package delivers 700 lb-ft of torque capacity and double-overdrive gearing to transform your 2WD Ford truck into a modern performer. The Magnum's dual overdrives dramatically reduce engine RPM at highway speeds - meaning less noise, better fuel economy, and a drivetrain that actually keeps up with modern traffic.

The FE engine family (332, 352, 360, 390, 406, 410, 427, 428) uses its own unique 5-bolt bellhousing pattern - different from Ford small-blocks and the later 385-series big-blocks. This package includes an FE-specific bellhousing designed to mate the Magnum directly to your engine. No adapter plates, no compromises, just proper OEM-quality fitment. The Magnum itself is based on TREMEC's TR-6060 architecture found in factory muscle cars like the Dodge Viper and Challenger, featuring increased face-width on all gears, triple-cone synchronizers on gears 1-4, double-cone synchros on 5-6 and reverse, and a robust one-piece countershaft for maximum durability.

MDL's guided package builder walks you through every component selection - from transmission gear ratio to flywheel, clutch kit, hydraulic system, shifter, speedometer components, and driveshaft yoke. The reversible shifter tailhousing provides multiple mounting positions to work with your truck's floor configuration. Every package is customized to your specific engine combination and intended use, with lifetime tech support from MDL's drivetrain specialists.

Triple-cone synchronizers deliver incredibly short, low-effort shift throws with crisp engagement - the kind of shift feel that makes rowing through the gears genuinely enjoyable. With multiple gear ratio options available, you can optimize the spread for street driving, towing, or spirited performance. The 3.66-quart fluid capacity uses DEXRON III or Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF for reliable operation.
