Description

Transform your classic Mopar B-body from a sluggish automatic to a precision 6-speed manual with MDL's complete T56 Magnum conversion package. This comprehensive kit eliminates the complexity of sourcing compatible components by providing everything needed for a professional automatic-to-manual swap in your 1962-1979 B-body equipped with a small block Mopar engine.

The centerpiece is TREMEC's flagship T56 Magnum transmission--the aftermarket's premier 6-speed performance manual. Based on the TR-6060 architecture found in factory muscle cars like the Dodge Challenger and Chevrolet Camaro, the Magnum delivers 700 lb-ft of torque capacity with incredibly short, low-effort shift throws. Wider gear faces, laser-beam welded 2-piece gear construction, and a robust one-piece countershaft provide the durability demanded by high-horsepower builds. The spring-loaded ball-type synchronizer inserts eliminate the notchy shifting common to earlier T56 designs, delivering the crisp engagement Magnums are known for.

This package includes a purpose-built bellhousing engineered for small block Mopar engines, a balanced flywheel assembly with ARP hardware, and your choice of single or dual-disc clutch systems in 10.5-inch diameter with 26-spline hubs. The hydraulic release system provides modern pedal feel with a dedicated master cylinder kit and your choice of hydraulic release bearing configurations. Multiple speedometer gear options (16-21 tooth range) accommodate various rear axle ratios, while professional wiring harnesses handle reverse lights and speedometer functions.

Choose from three gear ratio configurations to match your driving style: wide-ratio (2.97, 2.10, 1.46, 1.00, 0.80, 0.63) for strong off-the-line acceleration, close-ratio (2.66, 1.78, 1.30, 1.00, 0.80, 0.63) for road racing and high-rpm applications, or hybrid-ratio for the best of both. The dual speedometer pickups support both mechanical and electronic speedometers, and the fully reversible shifter allows positioning adjustments to suit your interior layout.
