Description

The TREMEC T56 Magnum TUET16884 solves the torque limitation that plagued the original T56. Introduced in spring 2009, the Magnum delivers a massive 700 lb-ft torque capacity through substantially increased gear face widths and 2-piece laser-beam welded gear construction. Based heavily on the TR-6060 found in factory supercars like the ZR1 Corvette and ACR Viper, the Magnum combines TREMEC's OEM design and manufacturing technologies with the most popular features of the TKO 5-speed.

This TUET16884 features the wide-ratio gear set with 2.97 first gear and close-ratio 0.80/0.63 double overdrive—ideal for street-driven builds that need strong acceleration through the lower gears while maintaining relaxed highway cruising RPM. The 85mm center distance and bolstered one-piece countershaft resist distortion under load, while redesigned shift forks and fine-tooth synchronizer angles deliver incredibly short, low-effort throws with crisp engagement even at high RPM.

Triple-cone synchronizers on gears 1 through 4 and double-cone synchronizers on 5th, 6th, and reverse handle aggressive shifts with ease. The fully reversible TKO-style die-cast aluminum shifter provides smooth, positive shift action with two stock shifter positions, plus built-in mid-shift provisions under the inspection cover for simple forward shifter placement in bench-seat applications. Dual speedometer outputs accommodate both mechanical and electronic gauges, and the reverse lockout solenoid and reverse light switch are built in.

Configured for Ford applications with a 26-spline input shaft and 31-spline output shaft. Compatible with cable release clutch systems via the included hardened steel guide tube. The extensively modified transmission case prevents leaks under high-stress conditions and increases overall power-handling capabilities.

Description

When your Ford build demands more than a 5-speed can deliver but you refuse to compromise on shift quality, the TREMEC T56 Magnum answers the call. This close-ratio TUET11010 variant keeps RPM drops tight between gears - ideal for road racing, autocross, and spirited street driving where staying in the powerband matters. The 2.66 first gear pulls hard off the line, while the double overdrive (0.80 fifth, 0.63 sixth) drops highway RPMs dramatically for quiet, fuel-efficient cruising.

The Magnum is TREMEC's aftermarket version of the TR-6060 - the same transmission found in factory supercars like the Corvette ZR1 and Viper ACR. The 85mm center distance provides a larger gear contact patch and stronger case than the original T56, supporting 700 lb-ft of torque capacity. Triple-cone synchronizers on gears 1-4 and double-cone synchronizers on 5-6 and reverse deliver accurate, smooth shifts even at high RPM. The fully reversible die-cast aluminum shifter provides incredibly short, low-effort throws with crisp engagement.

This Ford-pattern Magnum requires a separate bellhousing and pairs with V8 Ford engines from small-block Windsors to modular 4.6/5.0 Coyote applications with the appropriate bellhousing. The hardened steel guide tube accepts standard mechanical clutch fork designs, making it a straightforward swap for classic Mustang builds. Dual speedometer provisions handle both electronic and mechanical gauges, while the built-in reverse lockout and reverse light switch simplify wiring.

Description

When TREMEC introduced the T56 Magnum in 2009, it solved the problem builders had been chasing for years: how to get bulletproof six-speed strength with OEM-level refinement in an aftermarket package. Based heavily on the TR-6060 - the same transmission found in factory supercars - the Magnum combines TREMEC's current OEM design and manufacturing technologies with the most popular features of their TKO 5-speed. The result is the smoothest-shifting, strongest, and most versatile 6-speed aftermarket transmission TREMEC has ever produced.

This TUET11011 features the wide-ratio 2.97 first gear, making it ideal for street-driven builds that want strong off-the-line acceleration without sacrificing highway drivability. The 0.74 fifth and 0.50 sixth gears deliver true double overdrive, dropping RPM for relaxed cruising and improved fuel economy. Spring-loaded ball-type synchronizer inserts reduce friction and eliminate notchy shifting, resulting in incredibly short, smooth shifts with crisp engagement.

The engineering upgrades over the original T56 are substantial. Face widths of the gears have been significantly widened to handle more torque, while redesigned one-piece shift forks with permanently mounted shift links eliminate the float and incomplete engagement that plagued earlier designs. The 85mm center distance provides the robust gear geometry needed to handle 700 lb-ft reliably. Multiple shifter locations accommodate different builds, and the reversible shifter assembly allows changing shift lever position simply by flipping the shift cover.

Compatible with Ford modular engines using the appropriate bellhousing (sold separately). Uses Dexron III ATF - no exotic fluids required. Made in the USA by TREMEC.

Description

The QuickTime RM-8080 solves the critical challenge of mating Ford Modular engines to Ford T56 and TREMEC Magnum 6-speed transmissions in high-performance applications. SFI 6.1 certification makes this bellhousing mandatory for sanctioned drag racing with quarter-mile times of 11.49 or faster, while its engineered construction delivers the dimensional accuracy and burst protection that serious builds demand.

QuickTime's proprietary spin-forming process creates a cone that's dimensionally stable and accurate -- unlike rolled or stamped alternatives that flex under load. The high-grade steel work-hardens to over 80,000 PSI, delivering more than twice the strength of conventional steel bellhousings while maintaining a lightweight 20-pound profile. This rigidity keeps the engine and transmission in perfect alignment through the entire RPM range, eliminating the accelerated drivetrain wear caused by bellhousing flex in lesser designs.

The 5.322-inch depth positions the clutch fork at the 7:00 location, designed to work with Ford OE forks or cable-style throwout bearing setups. This bellhousing accommodates 164-tooth flywheels and clutches up to 11 inches in diameter, with OEM-style starter placement for straightforward installation. As a universal-fit design, the RM-8080 is not vehicle-specific -- it bridges any Ford Modular engine (4.6L through 6.2L) to the Ford T56 transmission bolt pattern used by both factory T56 units and the TREMEC Magnum.

Engineered with patent-pending innovations across 16 critical design elements and manufactured entirely in the USA. Note: Transmission mounting bolts are sold separately.

What's Included

• M10 x 1.5 threaded fasteners for proper T56 Magnum bellhousing bolt pattern
• Grade 8 fasteners with thread locker for maximum clamping force and vibration resistance

Description

Aluminum bellhousings require different bolt specifications than their steel counterparts. The wrong fastener length can result in bolts bottoming out before achieving proper clamping force, or insufficient thread engagement that compromises the transmission-to-bellhousing connection. When you're mating a TREMEC T56 Magnum to an aluminum bellhousing behind a Ford 4.6L or 5.4L modular engine, this hardware kit eliminates the guesswork.

This MDL Install Hardware Kit provides the exact transmission-to-bellhousing fasteners required for aluminum bellhousing applications. The kit uses M10 x 1.5 threaded bolts with lengths specifically calculated for aluminum bellhousing material thickness, ensuring full thread engagement without bottoming out. Each fastener is Grade 8 quality with factory-applied thread locker to prevent vibration-induced loosening under load.

Unlike steel bellhousings, which often use longer bolts to account for thicker material, aluminum bellhousings demand precision-matched hardware. Using the wrong bolts can lead to poor torque transfer, transmission misalignment, and accelerated drivetrain wear. This kit gives you exactly what you need for a professional-grade installation--nothing more, nothing less.

What's Included

• Complete set of transmission-to-bellhousing bolts (aluminum bellhousing specification)
• Grade 8 hex head fasteners with pre-applied thread locker

Key Features

• Complete transmission-to-bellhousing bolt set for Ford T56 Magnum installations
• Designed specifically for steel aftermarket bellhousings
• Metric fasteners with proper thread pitch for TREMEC T56 Magnum mounting holes
• Eliminates hardware sourcing headaches during your Ford 6-speed swap

Description

Aftermarket steel bellhousings typically ship with bellhousing-to-engine-block hardware only, leaving you to source the bolts needed to attach the transmission itself. This MDL hardware kit solves that problem for Ford T56 Magnum installations by providing the exact fasteners required to mount the transmission to any steel aftermarket bellhousing.

The kit is purpose-built for steel bellhousing applications. Steel bellhousings have different material thickness than aluminum units, requiring specific bolt lengths for proper thread engagement without bottoming out. Using the wrong hardware can result in insufficient thread engagement or bolts that bind before the transmission face seats flush. This kit takes the guesswork out of the equation.

Compatible with all steel aftermarket bellhousings that accept the Ford version of the TREMEC T56 Magnum 6-speed transmission. If you're pairing your Magnum with an aluminum bellhousing, you'll need the AL version of this kit instead, as aluminum bellhousings use different bolt lengths. This kit covers transmission-to-bellhousing mounting only; bellhousing-to-engine-block hardware is typically supplied by the bellhousing manufacturer.

What's Included

• Complete set of transmission-to-bellhousing mounting bolts [VERIFY: exact bolt count, thread size, and grade]

Clutch Lever | 1994-2004 Mustang | T5, T45, 3650, 4.6L T-56

Key Features

• Fits all 1994-2004 Mustang manual transmissions: T5, T45, 3650, and 4.6L T-56
• Designed for cable and external hydraulic clutch operation with compatible bellhousings
• SN95-specific geometry with longer overall length and extended pivot points versus Fox Body forks
• Stamped steel construction for durability and reduced flex under load
• Direct replacement for worn OE clutch forks on SN95 and New Edge Mustangs

Description

When you're replacing the clutch in your 1994-2004 Mustang, don't overlook the clutch fork. This frequently neglected component takes a beating every time you press the pedal, and a worn fork causes sloppy engagement, inconsistent pedal feel, and premature throwout bearing wear. This MDL clutch lever restores factory-correct geometry to your SN95 or New Edge drivetrain.

The SN95 clutch fork is not interchangeable with Fox Body forks. The 1994-2004 lever is longer overall with extended pivot points to match the deeper SN95 bellhousing depth and longer input shaft configuration. Using the wrong fork causes the clutch cable to exit at a severe angle, resulting in hard pedal effort, accelerated cable wear, and eventual cable failure. This lever provides the correct geometry for proper throwout bearing positioning and smooth clutch actuation.

Engineered for both stock cable-release setups and external hydraulic conversions, this fork works with OE and aftermarket bellhousings designed for '94-'04 applications. Whether you're running a T5 carryover, the T45 that served '96-'99 GTs, the 3650 that replaced it in 2000, or the T-56 behind your 4.6L Cobra, this clutch lever delivers the reliable operation your drivetrain demands.

Description

Ford's 4.6L Modular V8 came from two different plants with distinct crankshaft configurations: Romeo engines use a 6-bolt flywheel flange, while Windsor engines use an 8-bolt pattern. This lightened billet steel flywheel is purpose-built for the 6-bolt Romeo configuration, giving you a drop-in solution for manual transmission conversions and clutch upgrades on properly matched 4.6L applications.

The dual bolt pattern design accommodates both 10.4" and 11" clutch assemblies, using metric pressure plate bolts and alignment dowel pins. This flexibility lets you choose the clutch setup that best matches your power level and driving style without buying a different flywheel. The 164-tooth ring gear ensures reliable starter engagement, and the zero-balance specification eliminates vibration concerns in your drivetrain.

Machined from billet steel rather than cast iron, this flywheel delivers superior strength for high-horsepower applications while shedding rotational mass. At 27 pounds, it provides noticeably quicker throttle response and faster acceleration compared to heavy factory flywheels, without sacrificing the durability needed for street driving or track use. CNC machining ensures precise tolerances and perfect crankshaft registration every time.

Made in the USA with MDL's commitment to quality and backed by lifetime technical support. Verify your engine's bolt count before ordering, as Romeo (6-bolt) and Windsor (8-bolt) engines are not interchangeable, even though both are 4.6L Modular V8s.

Description

When your build pushes past 500hp and you still want to drive it on the street, single-disc clutches start showing their limits. The McLeod RXT twin disc clutch kit delivers 1,000hp holding capacity in a package that maintains street manners - soft pedal effort, smooth engagement, and the kind of durability that lets you drive to the track, run quarter-mile passes, and drive home without drama.

The engineering centers on dual ceramic friction discs mounted to a Blanchard ground floater plate. The ceramic facings provide slightly aggressive engagement with excellent release characteristics - enough grip for serious power without the on-off grabbiness that makes some racing clutches miserable in traffic. The floater plate distributes heat across both friction surfaces, preventing the hot spots that kill single-disc setups under sustained abuse. McLeod's diaphragm pressure plate maintains consistent clamping force throughout the disc's lifespan while actually delivering lighter-than-stock pedal effort.

This kit uses McLeod's patent-pending large gold metric adapter ring, eliminating the need for a dedicated flywheel. The adapter ring bolts directly to flat-style metric flywheels found on Ford 164T Modular engines (4.6L, 5.0L Coyote, 5.4L) and GM 168T LS1/LS6 applications. Critical note: this kit will NOT fit factory 2011-17 Coyote flywheels, recessed LS2/LS3/LS7 flywheels, or flywheels with crank reliefs larger than 6.250 inches in diameter.

Description

A worn or sloppy pilot bushing causes hard shifting, input shaft misalignment, and accelerated transmission wear - problems that can sideline your build when you least expect it. This heavy-duty bronze pilot bushing delivers the precision fit and durability needed to keep your drivetrain running smooth, shift after shift.

Precision-manufactured from premium-grade bronze that's impregnated with oil lubricant, this bushing provides long-lasting performance without the maintenance headaches of grease-packed alternatives. The oil-impregnated bronze material creates a self-lubricating bearing surface that won't gum up or attract debris. Unlike cheap offshore bushings that may contain steel contamination, this bronze construction won't gall or seize on your input shaft.

The bushing's 1.379" outer diameter and 0.670" inner diameter match OEM specifications exactly, ensuring proper crankshaft bore fit and input shaft clearance. At 0.580" wide, it provides full support for transmission input shaft snouts without bottoming out in the crankshaft pocket. This precision fit eliminates the binding and misalignment that can destroy clutch components and transmission internals.

Compatible with Ford Small Block V8 engines and Pontiac small block applications. Always replace the pilot bushing with every clutch change - bushings are a wear item even when they look fine. Pro tip: freeze the bushing before installation for easier press-fit, and never apply grease to oil-impregnated bronze bushings as it will clog the pores and prevent proper lubrication.

What's Included

• (1) Heavy-duty oil-impregnated bronze pilot bushing (1.379" OD x 0.670" ID x 0.580" wide)

Key Features

• Needle roller construction reduces friction and parasitic drag versus bronze pilot bushings
• 1.379" outer diameter press-fits Ford small block crankshaft pilot bore
• 0.670" inner diameter supports transmission input shafts in the .669"-.672" range
• 0.500" width provides proper support without bottoming in crankshaft recess
• Pre-greased from factory - no additional lubrication required or recommended
• Direct fit for Ford 302 and 351 Windsor engines with manual transmissions

Description

A worn or incorrect pilot bearing causes grinding shifts, premature input shaft wear, and clutch drag that won't release. This needle bearing delivers the low-friction operation your Ford small block manual transmission swap demands, replacing high-drag bronze bushings with precision needle rollers that spin freely during clutch engagement and disengagement.

Needle roller bearings dramatically reduce the friction between your transmission input shaft and crankshaft compared to solid bronze bushings. Where a bronze bushing relies on an oil film that can break down under heat and load, needle rollers maintain consistent, low-drag rotation throughout the clutch cycle. The result is cleaner clutch release, smoother shifts, and longer input shaft life.

The 1.379" outer diameter press-fits the standard Ford small block crankshaft pilot bore found in 302 and 351 Windsor engines. The 0.670" inner diameter accommodates most manual transmission input shafts, including those found on TREMEC TKO, TKX, and T5 units that typically measure in the .669"-.672" range. The 0.500" width ensures the bearing seats properly without bottoming out in the crankshaft recess.

This bearing ships pre-greased from the factory. Do not add additional grease - excess lubrication can contaminate clutch disc facings and cause slippage or premature failure. Press the bearing into the crankshaft before flywheel installation, seating it until you notice a change in tone indicating full contact with the bore shoulder. A slight lip extending from the crankshaft face is normal and expected.

What's Included

• One needle roller pilot bearing with factory lubrication

Description

Swapping to a 5 or 6-speed TREMEC transmission changes your final drive ratio, which means your factory speedometer gear combination no longer reads accurately. This 17-tooth white driven gear lets you recalibrate your mechanical speedometer to match your new drivetrain setup.

Speedometer driven gear selection depends on four variables: drive gear tooth count (on the output shaft), driven gear tooth count, tire diameter, and axle ratio. The 17-tooth count is typically paired with lower-numerical axle ratios or taller tires. Use a speedometer gear calculator to determine the correct tooth count for your specific combination of drive gear, rear end ratio, and tire height.

The white color coding makes this gear instantly identifiable, both in your parts bin and during installation. This precision-molded plastic gear meshes smoothly with the transmission's output shaft drive gear, delivering reliable operation without the noise or wear issues that can plague poorly-manufactured replacements.

This driven gear fits all Ford TREMEC transmissions including T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum. Whether you're building a classic Mustang, Fairlane, or any Ford platform with a mechanical speedometer, this gear helps dial in accurate speed readings after your manual transmission conversion.

• Fits Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions
• Precision molded for accurate tooth engagement and long service life
• Direct replacement--installs into existing speedometer drive housing without modification

Description

When you swap in a 5- or 6-speed manual transmission, your factory speedometer gear ratio goes out the window. The new transmission's final drive ratio won't mesh with your original speedo gear, leaving your speedometer reading inaccurately--sometimes wildly so. This 18-tooth yellow driven gear lets you dial in the correct speedometer calibration for your specific tire size and rear axle ratio combination.

This driven gear fits the full range of Ford-pattern TREMEC transmissions: T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum. The industry-standard yellow color coding makes identification simple--no guessing which tooth count you're running when it's time for service or recalibration after a gear ratio change. The precision-molded construction ensures consistent tooth engagement with the drive gear for accurate, reliable speedometer readings mile after mile.

Installation is straightforward--the gear slides directly into the transmission's speedometer drive housing. If your speedometer calibration calculations call for more than 21 teeth (the maximum available driven gear size), you'll need to reduce the drive gear tooth count instead. Use a speedometer gear calculator with your tire diameter, axle ratio, and transmission drive gear tooth count to determine the correct driven gear for your application.

Kit Includes

• 18-tooth yellow speedometer driven gear

Key Features

• 19-tooth driven gear for precise speedometer calibration
• Pink color-coded for instant tooth count identification
• Fits Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and TREMEC T56 Magnum transmissions
• Essential for correcting speedometer accuracy after gear ratio or tire size changes
• Precision molded construction for reliable, long-lasting operation

Description

When you swap transmissions, change rear axle ratios, or bolt on different tire sizes, your speedometer no longer reads correctly. This 19-tooth driven gear lets you recalibrate for accurate readings by changing the gear ratio between your transmission's output and the speedometer cable. It's the driven gear -- the one that mounts to the speedometer cable end and inserts into the transmission tailhousing.

The pink color follows Ford's standardized identification system, making it easy to confirm the tooth count at a glance when you're sorting through your parts bin or comparing against your current setup. If your speedometer reads too fast with your current gear, stepping up to this 19-tooth unit will slow the reading. Each additional tooth changes the speedometer reading by approximately 5-6%. If you need an even higher tooth count, 21-tooth is the largest available in the driven gear; beyond that, you'll need to reduce the drive gear size instead.

This gear fits all Ford T5, T45, and Ford T56 transmissions, as well as all TREMEC TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum units. Installation is straightforward: remove the speedometer cable from the tailhousing, swap the driven gear, and reinstall.

What's Included

• One 19-tooth speedometer driven gear (pink)

Key Features

• Fits Ford T5, T45, Ford T56, TREMEC T56 Magnum, TKO, and TKX transmissions
• Direct replacement for worn or incorrect factory gears
• Precision-molded plastic construction for durability and accurate engagement

Description

Transmission swaps and axle gear changes throw off speedometer accuracy - this 20-tooth driven gear gets your needle reading true again. When you install a five- or six-speed manual, the final drive ratio no longer matches your original speedometer gear, leaving you guessing at your actual speed. The correct driven gear restores accurate instrumentation so you know exactly how fast you're going.

This precision-molded driven gear is color-coded black for 20-tooth identification, following the standard Ford speedometer gear system. It pairs with the 7-tooth drive gear found on TREMEC TKO 500, TKO 600, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions to dial in speedometer accuracy for specific tire and axle combinations. Calculate your correct tooth count based on your tire diameter and rear axle ratio - if your math points to 20 teeth, this is your gear.

Note that 21 tooth is the largest driven gear size available for these applications. If your calculations call for a larger tooth count beyond 21, reducing the drive gear size provides the necessary calibration adjustment. Compatible with all Ford T5, T45, Ford T56, TREMEC T56 Magnum, and all TKO and TKX variants.

What's Included

• One 20-tooth driven speedometer gear (black)

Key Features

• Fits all TREMEC transmissions using Ford-style speedometer systems: T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum
• Precision molded nylon construction for smooth, quiet operation and long service life
• Direct drop-in replacement--no modifications required

Description

Swapping to a 5 or 6-speed TREMEC transmission changes your final drive ratio, which throws off your factory speedometer calibration. This 21-tooth red driven gear lets you recalibrate your mechanical speedometer to read accurately with your specific tire size and rear axle ratio combination--no electronic tuner required.

Ford has used a consistent color-coding system for manual transmission speedometer gears since the 1960s: 16-tooth wine, 17-tooth white, 18-tooth yellow, 19-tooth pink, 20-tooth black, and 21-tooth red. As the largest tooth count in the standard range, this red 21-tooth gear provides maximum correction for applications with taller tires or numerically higher axle ratios. Each tooth of difference adjusts your speedometer reading approximately 5-6%, so selecting the correct count is critical for accuracy.

The driven gear installs into the speedometer housing on the tailshaft of your transmission, where it meshes with the drive gear on the output shaft. TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions come from the factory with a 7-tooth drive gear, making this 21-tooth driven gear the correct starting point for common combinations like 3.55 or 3.73 rear gears with 26-inch or taller tires. Use a speedometer gear calculator with your actual tire diameter and axle ratio to confirm the correct tooth count for your build.

This gear is compatible with Ford T5, T45, TKO, TKX, and T56 Magnum transmissions. The driven gear works with both cable-driven and VSS-equipped speedometer systems--just swap it into your existing housing.

Description

When you install a TREMEC transmission in your build, you need a clean way to send speed data to your electronic speedometer or ECU. This harness provides the critical link between your transmission's output speed sensor (OSS) and your vehicle's existing Ford-style VSS wiring. It's designed specifically for the two-wire analog speed sensor output found on Ford and GM TREMEC Magnum transmissions, as well as Ford TKX, TKO, and T45/3650 units.

The terminals are constructed from tin-plated brass, which resists corrosion and maintains solid electrical contact even in harsh underhood environments. This matters because intermittent speed signals cause erratic speedometer readings and can throw off ECU calculations that rely on vehicle speed data. The Ford VSS connector style was used across a wide range of 1987-1995 Ford vehicles, making this harness the right choice when you're tying into an existing Ford wiring harness or EFI system from that era.

This harness is the simple, direct solution for builders running electronic speedometers with TREMEC 5- and 6-speed transmissions. Whether you're completing a resto-mod Mustang with modern gauges or wiring a GM-pattern Magnum into a classic muscle car, this connector eliminates guesswork and custom splicing.

What's Included

• Electronic speedometer harness with tin-plated brass terminals
• Ford VSS-style two-wire connector

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

Key Features

• Microprocessor-controlled lockout system prevents accidental reverse engagement above approximately 5 MPH
• Six-wire harness with integrated inline fuse for complete installation
• Universal fitment for all T56, T56 Magnum, and TR6060 transmissions

• Two dedicated wires for solenoid output control
• Two wires for VSS (vehicle speed sensor) signal input
• Switched power and ground connections included
• Eliminates need for brake light switch or manual button workarounds
• Factory-like speed-based operation without requiring an OEM computer

Description

When you swap a TREMEC T56, T56 Magnum, or TR6060 into a classic or performance build, you lose the factory computer's ability to control the reverse lockout solenoid. Without proper control, the transmission becomes prone to inadvertent grinding into reverse gear while attempting to shift into 5th - a common problem since these gears are located very close to each other in the shift pattern. Manual workarounds like wiring to the brake light switch create their own problems: you can step on the brake at highway speed and still accidentally engage reverse.

This Reverse Lockout Control Module solves the problem with intelligent speed-based control. The heart of this module is a microprocessor that continuously monitors vehicle speed through the VSS signal. At low vehicle speeds, the reverse lockout solenoid is energized, retracting the blocking pin and allowing you to shift smoothly into reverse. Above approximately 5 MPH, the module de-energizes the solenoid, locking out reverse gear access and preventing costly transmission damage from an accidental shift. This creates factory-like operation without the need for an OEM PCM or ECM.

The six-wire harness simplifies installation with dedicated circuits: two wires for switched power and ground, two wires for VSS signal input from the transmission speed sensor, and two wires for solenoid output. The integrated inline fuse protects the circuit. While the module features weather-resistant construction, mounting inside the vehicle interior is recommended for maximum longevity. The system requires no special programming or calibration - wire it up and it works.

This module is essential for any T56-family transmission swap where the factory computer control is unavailable. It controls the reverse lockout solenoid found on all Borg Warner and TREMEC T56, Magnum, and TR6060 transmissions, restoring the safety and convenience of proper reverse lockout operation that these transmissions were designed to have.

• Complete terminal and pigtail assembly - no additional components needed

Description

When swapping to a T56 Magnum or Ford T5 transmission, connecting the reverse light circuit is critical for both legal compliance and safety. This reverse switch harness eliminates the guesswork and provides a clean, factory-grade electrical connection that integrates seamlessly with existing vehicle wiring.

Built around the proven Weather Pack connector system, this harness delivers outstanding reliability in demanding engine bay environments. The pin-and-socket design creates a positive mechanical lock while sealing out moisture, dirt, and corrosive chemical vapors that destroy standard electrical connections over time. Heavy-duty 14 AWG wire handles the full electrical load with headroom to spare, while the 10-inch leads provide flexibility for routing around headers, exhaust components, and other obstacles.

The complete terminal and pigtail assembly plugs directly into GM T56 Magnum, Ford T56 Magnum, and V6 Ford T5 transmissions without modification.

Description

Upgrading your Fox Body to a modern TREMEC transmission means dealing with one persistent headache: the factory crossmember wasn't designed for it. This Stifflers tubular crossmember solves the fitment problem while delivering chassis stiffness and strength that the stamped-steel OEM unit simply cannot match.

The unique single-tube design is the key differentiator here. Where conventional crossmembers force you to choose a specific transmission fitment, Stifflers' adjustable sleeve-and-spacer system lets you configure one crossmember for multiple applications. Simply slide the mounting sleeves and reposition the spacers to dial in fitment for T45, T56, T56 Magnum, Magnum XL, or TR-3650 transmissions. This eliminates the guesswork and custom fabrication that plague most swap projects.

Engineering matters beyond just fitment. This crossmember bolts directly to your factory 4.5"-wide body mounts with zero modification required, while maintaining your existing pinion angle whether you're running OEM or aftermarket transmission mounts. The slim tubular profile also creates significantly more exhaust clearance than the bulky factory unit - a real advantage when running aftermarket headers or larger-diameter exhaust systems.

Low-deflection polyurethane bushings provide a firmer mount than factory rubber while still isolating driveline vibrations and NVH from the chassis. For dedicated track cars where maximum rigidity is required, the poly bushings can be swapped for solid bushings (sold separately). Compatible with 1982-1993 Ford Mustang and Mercury Capri Fox Body applications.

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.

Description

Connecting your transmission to the driveshaft demands a slip yoke that can handle real power without becoming a weak link. This Neapco 31-spline forged steel slip yoke delivers the strength and precision fit required for Ford TKO, C6, and FMX transmissions, providing a direct-fit solution for street performance builds.

Forged steel construction eliminates the porosity and stress risers inherent in cast yokes. The result is a stronger, more consistent part that handles torque loads without cracking or deformation. The 1310 Series U-joint is rated for 400 lb-ft of continuous torque and 800 lb-ft short-duration loads--making this combination well-suited for street-driven cars producing up to approximately 500 hp, provided traction is managed with street tires rather than slicks.

Neapco's precision broaching process produces tight-tolerance spline fits that mate smoothly with the transmission output shaft. This accuracy, combined with reduced end play in the universal joint, minimizes driveline vibration and extends component life. The outside snap ring design allows for straightforward U-joint service when maintenance is eventually needed.

This slip yoke fits Ford transmissions with 31-spline output shafts, including the Ford TKO, C6 automatic, and FMX automatic. If your application requires higher torque capacity, consider upgrading to a 1330 or 1350 Series yoke and matching driveshaft components.
