Description

Your Fox-body Mustang deserves better than a tired SROD or worn-out T5. This complete TREMEC T56 Magnum conversion package transforms your '79-'93 SBF drivetrain with 700 lb-ft of torque capacity and true double overdrive gearing that drops highway cruising RPMs while maintaining strong acceleration through the lower gears. Where lesser five-speeds leave you hunting for gears on the highway, the Magnum delivers six forward speeds with your choice of 0.74/0.50 or 0.80/0.63 overdrive ratios.

The engineering advantage starts with two-piece laser-beam welded gear construction that enables precise tooth angles and positive shift stops, eliminating the over-travel and harsh engagement common in older designs. Triple-cone synchronizers on first through fourth gears, with double-cone units on fifth, sixth, and reverse deliver crisp shifts even at 7,800 RPM. The one-piece countershaft with widened gear faces eliminates the weak splined connection that limited earlier T56 designs, while the 26-spline input shaft with extended splines easily accommodates high-performance twin-disc clutch setups.

The fully reversible TKO-style shifter maintains your Mustang's stock shifter position for that factory appearance - no awkward shifter relocation or console modifications. Built-in mid-shift provisions under the inspection cover simplify the swap from your existing transmission. At just 130-140 lbs dry weight and 34.03 inches overall length for the Ford variant, the Magnum fits the Fox-body platform without extensive tunnel surgery. Fill with 3.66 quarts of Dexron III ATF or TREMEC HP-MTF and you're ready to row gears.

This customizable package includes everything needed for a complete conversion: your choice of TREMEC Magnum transmission (2.66 or 2.97 first gear), Ford SBF bellhousing with clutch fork, flywheel options spanning steel, SFI-rated, and lightweight aluminum, complete clutch systems, hydraulic or mechanical actuation components, custom crossmember and mount, balanced driveshaft, speedometer components, and all supporting hardware. Compatible with 1979-1993 Ford Mustang applications equipped with small block Ford V8 engines (6-bolt crank). MDL provides complete technical support and guided component selection to ensure optimal performance for your specific build.
