Description

When TREMEC set out to replace the legendary T56, they didn't just update it - they engineered the Magnum from the ground up using TR-6060 architecture found in factory supercars like the C6 ZR1 Corvette and Viper ACR. The result is the strongest, smoothest-shifting 6-speed manual transmission available for the aftermarket, purpose-built for GM LS engines as well as big-block and small-block applications when paired with the correct bellhousing.

This close ratio version (TUET11009) features gear ratios optimized for high-performance street driving and road racing. The 2.66 first gear launches hard without being too aggressive, while the tightly-spaced 1.78 second, 1.30 third, and 1:1 fourth keep you in the meat of your powerband. The double overdrive - 0.80 fifth and 0.63 sixth - drops highway RPM dramatically, improving both cruising comfort and fuel economy. The 4616 chromoly gears feature two-piece laser-beam welded construction with increased face widths for greater strength and more precise tooth geometry.

Inside, the Magnum benefits from modern OEM synchronizer technology: triple cone units on gears 1-4 and double cone on 5-6 and reverse deliver incredibly short, low-effort shift throws with precise engagement even at high RPM. The redesigned shift forks eliminate the wear issues that plagued earlier T56 designs, and the extensively modified case prevents leaks under high-stress conditions. The fully reversible TKO-style aluminum shifter provides multiple mounting positions, and built-in mid-shift provisions under the inspection cover make forward shifter relocation simple for bench-seat classics.

Compatible with GM big-block, small-block, and LS engines using the appropriate bellhousing. Uses standard T56 bellhousing bolt pattern with internal CSC (concentric slave cylinder) mounting provisions. Requires Dexron III ATF. Rated to 7,800 RPM.

Description

The TREMEC T-56 Magnum eliminates the compromise between strength and driveability that plagued earlier 6-speed conversions. Introduced in 2009 as the long-awaited replacement for the original T-56, the Magnum combined the best of TREMEC's OEM TR-6060 design with the most popular features of their TKO 5-speed. Known in OEM form as the TR-6060, this is the same transmission architecture found in factory supercars including the Dodge Challenger and Viper, and the Chevrolet Camaro - now available for your GM-powered build.

The TUET16885 wide-ratio gear set delivers a 2.97:1 first gear for aggressive launches paired with closely-spaced 5th (0.80:1) and 6th (0.63:1) overdrives for comfortable highway cruising at lower RPMs. This ratio spread makes the wide-ratio Magnum ideal for street machines, restomods, and pro-tourers where you want strong off-the-line acceleration without screaming RPMs at 70 mph.

Engineering improvements over the original T-56 are substantial. Gear face widths have been significantly increased, and 2-piece laser-beam welded gear construction allows greater control of tooth angles, pitch, and alignment. The bolstered one-piece countershaft resists distortion, while redesigned shift forks with permanently mounted shift links eliminate the wear and float that caused incomplete shifts in earlier designs. Spring-loaded ball-type inserts replace the stamped-steel shift keys of previous generations, delivering short, smooth shifts without the notchy feel.

The Magnum works with GM small block, big block, and LS engines when paired with the correct bellhousing. Clutch release provisions are modeled after the T-56 in 1998-2002 Camaros and Firebirds, designed for use with hydraulic throwout bearings. Multiple shift stub relocation kits are available for use with factory 4-speed consoles. When you purchase from MDL, you get our extended warranty coverage plus lifetime technical support from drivetrain experts who actually use these parts.

Description

The original T56 topped out around 450 lb-ft - fine for stock applications, but a liability once you started adding power. The TREMEC T56 Magnum solves that problem decisively, delivering 700 lb-ft of torque capacity in a purpose-built aftermarket package based on the TR-6060 architecture found in factory supercars like the Corvette ZR1 and Dodge Viper ACR.

This wide-ratio version (TUET11012) features a 2.97 first gear for aggressive launches and street-light acceleration, while the double overdrive - 0.74 in fifth and 0.50 in sixth - drops highway RPM significantly for better fuel economy and reduced engine wear. TREMEC widened the gear faces substantially over the original T56, then added 2-piece laser-beam welded construction for precise control of tooth angles, pitch, and alignment. Triple-cone synchronizers on gears 1-4 and double-cone on 5-6 deliver smooth, high-rpm shifts without grinding or balking - even when you're banging through the gears hard.

The reversible die-cast aluminum shifter eliminates the limitations of earlier cast-iron designs, providing TKX-style precision with short, low-effort throws. Dual speedometer pickups handle both mechanical cable-driven and electronic setups without adapters. Built-in provisions for mid-shift conversions sit under the inspection cover, ready when your application demands a different shifter location. The T56-style bellhousing bolt pattern makes installation with various late-model GM engines straightforward.

At 34.85 inches overall length, tunnel modification is required for most classic muscle car conversions - this is not a drop-in for '98-'02 F-bodies or '04-'06 GTOs. The 26-spline input matches LS-series engines directly, while the 31-spline output handles serious driveline torque. When you purchase through MDL, you get the standard TREMEC warranty plus an additional year of coverage, along with lifetime technical support to help you get your conversion dialed in right.

Description

OEM concentric slave cylinders in GM T56 applications are notorious for heat-related failures and inconsistent pedal feel under hard use. The MD-900-2505-A solves these problems with Tilton's race-proven 6000-Series hydraulic release bearing technology, packaged as a complete bolt-on kit for GM T56, Magnum, and Magnum XL six-speed transmissions.

The engineering starts with a billet aluminum body and piston, precision-machined at Tilton's California facility. Unlike plastic-bodied OEM units that distort under heat cycling, the all-metal construction maintains tight tolerances even in demanding conditions. The high-temperature mono-seal design incorporates a quad tensioner to maintain proper seal loading - critical for consistent hydraulic pressure and long service life. This constant-contact bearing self-adjusts as your clutch wears, eliminating the need for periodic adjustment and maintaining the same pedal feel throughout the clutch's lifespan.

Installation leverages the OE CSC mounting feature on the T56/Magnum front plate, so this kit bolts directly in place of your factory hydraulic release bearing. The stainless steel threaded sleeve provides nearly 1.25 inches of height adjustability (1.77 to 3.00 inches total bearing height), accommodating everything from stock replacement clutches to aggressive racing setups. The full 0.700 inches of piston travel handles even high-clamp-load pressure plates.

Description

Extracting maximum performance from a high-torque LS engine requires a clutch that bridges the gap between aggressive track bite and civilized street manners. This dual-friction Superior clutch disc solves that challenge by pairing Kevlar on the flywheel side with a steel-backed organic facing on the pressure plate side. The result is a clutch that hooks hard under load yet remains smooth and predictable in stop-and-go traffic.

Why the hybrid configuration? Kevlar's coefficient of friction actually increases with temperature—meaning torque capacity goes up, not down, under hard use. It also resists burning and delivers exceptional longevity. Meanwhile, the steel-backed organic side provides the smooth modulation and forgiving engagement drivers expect on the street. This combination delivers more grip than a pure organic disc while maintaining better driveability than an all-Kevlar setup—the sweet spot for street performance and weekend track duty.

Every Superior clutch disc is hand-built in MDL's Caldwell, Idaho facility. Each disc goes through rigorous quality control—checked and double-checked for tolerances—before it ships. The 11" diaphragm pressure plate provides high clamping force without excessive pedal effort, and the sprung hub dampens engagement shock for chatter-free operation. Rated at 500 lb-ft, this kit is sized right for naturally aspirated and moderately boosted LS builds.

Fits GM LS engines paired with T56 or T56 Magnum transmissions using a 26-spline, 1-1/8" input shaft. Designed exclusively for hydraulic clutch actuation systems.

Description

Street-legal performance cars are making more power than ever, and if you're rowing your own gears past the 500 HP mark, you need a clutch that can handle the abuse without sacrificing daily driveability. The McLeod RXT Twin Disc Clutch Kit solves the classic high-horsepower dilemma - massive holding power without the harsh engagement and heavy pedal effort that make twin-disc setups miserable in traffic.

Rated at 1,000 HP, the RXT uses two ceramic-faced 9.687" friction discs mounted to a solid hub, distributing clamping loads across four friction surfaces for superior heat dissipation and consistent engagement under hard launches. The ceramic facings provide slightly aggressive engagement - enough bite to transfer serious torque without the on/off grabbiness that plagues race-only clutches. The diaphragm-style pressure plate delivers lighter-than-stock pedal effort, making this a genuinely streetable setup for stop-and-go driving.

This economical kit uses McLeod's patent-pending large diameter adapter ring system, allowing you to retain your existing large-diameter flywheel rather than purchasing a dedicated unit. The large red adapter ring fits common big-flywheel applications including Chevy 168T, Ford 164T/176T/180T/184T, Chrysler 143T/172T, and Buick/Olds/Pontiac 160T/166T configurations. The 26-spline, 1-1/8" input shaft configuration matches T56, TKX, and other performance transmissions.

Compatible with 1955-85 Chevy V8 engines equipped with large diameter flywheels. Note: McLeod street performance clutches require a 500-750 mile break-in period of stop-and-go city driving (1,200-1,500 clutch cycles) before wide-open-throttle use or dyno tuning. This kit does not include a pilot bearing or throwout bearing. Made in the USA.

What's Included

• Supports and centers the transmission input shaft snout to prevent misalignment
• Softer bronze material protects input shaft from damage in case of wear
• Fits Chevrolet Small Block V8, Big Block V8, LS1, LS3, and LS6 crankshaft bores
• No external lubrication required--oil seeps from pores during operation

Description

A worn or missing pilot bushing leads to input shaft misalignment, clutch drag, difficult shifting, and premature transmission wear. This Oilite bronze pilot bushing solves that problem by providing precise centering and support for your transmission's input shaft snout where it meets the crankshaft bore. When you depress the clutch, the pilot bushing allows the flywheel to continue spinning while the input shaft remains stationary--preventing metal-to-metal contact and protecting your drivetrain components.

Manufactured from premium-grade sintered bronze, this bushing is impregnated with oil lubricant that seeps to the surface during operation as temperature rises. This self-lubricating design eliminates the need for external grease and provides consistent lubrication throughout the bushing's service life. Unlike needle roller pilot bearings that can seize and destroy your input shaft when they fail, a bronze bushing's softer material sacrifices itself rather than damaging expensive transmission components.

Precision-machined to 1.094" OD x 0.670" ID x 0.500" width, this bushing delivers exact OEM fitment for Chevrolet Small Block V8, Big Block V8, and Gen III/IV LS-series engines including LS1, LS3, and LS6. The dimensions ensure proper press-fit into the crankshaft bore while maintaining correct clearance on the input shaft tip.

Pilot bushings are wear items and should be replaced with every clutch service--even if the old bushing appears fine. Pro tip: freeze the new bushing before installation to ease press-fit, and use bread packed into the bore to hydraulically remove the old bushing without the mess of grease.

Kit Includes

• One Oilite bronze pilot bushing (1.094" OD x 0.670" ID x 0.500" width)

Key Features

• 1.096" outer diameter x 0.590" inner diameter - sized for TREMEC input shafts
• 0.720" width provides proper input shaft support depth
• Inner landing design fits the innermost pocket of LS crankshaft flanges
• Sealed bearing construction prevents contamination and lubricant loss
• Correct bearing for LS3 T-56 conversion applications and similar setups
• Compatible with GM LS1, LS3, and LS6 engines

Description

Selecting the correct pilot bearing for an LS engine and TREMEC transmission combination is critical - the wrong bearing position or size leaves the input shaft unsupported, causing shifting issues and accelerated transmission wear. This sealed pilot bearing is engineered for applications requiring the small-diameter bearing that seats in the innermost pocket (Position A) of the LS crankshaft flange.

The 1.096" outer diameter press-fits into the inner landing of LS1, LS3, and LS6 crankshafts, while the 0.590" bore matches the pilot tip diameter of standard TREMEC T-56, Magnum, and TKO input shafts. The 0.720" width ensures adequate support depth at the pilot tip - the most critical point for maintaining input shaft alignment and preventing premature bearing failure.

Use this bearing when your transmission input shaft protrudes approximately 3/4" to 1" past the front face of the bellhousing. For T-56 conversions behind LS3 engines using aftermarket bellhousings, this is typically the correct bearing position. Always verify input shaft protrusion and crankshaft pocket dimensions before installation - the bearing should be a slight interference fit into the crankshaft. Install by pressing on the outer race only, and ensure the sealed side faces outward (toward the transmission) to retain lubrication.

What's Included

• 1x Sealed pilot bearing (1.096" OD x 0.590" ID x 0.720" width)

Description

Put the correct gate positions right at your fingertips with this 6-speed shift knob. Whether you're learning a new transmission layout or making split-second shifts under pressure, the bold black shift pattern gives you instant visual reference without taking your eyes off the road. The graphics aren't a decal or printed surface - they're applied subsurface during manufacturing, making them permanently integrated into the knob material where they cannot wear off, fade, or peel regardless of use.

The polymer construction is engineered specifically for drivetrain duty. This specially formulated high-impact polymer resin is designed to meet performance-level torque and temperature requirements, handling the stress and heat cycles that come with hard shifting better than cheaper materials. The 1-7/8in diameter provides substantial surface area for a secure grip without being oversized or bulky.

Universal 16mm x 1.5 internal threading makes this knob compatible with virtually any shift lever when paired with the appropriate thread reducer (sold separately). Thread reducers allow adaptation to common metric sizes like 8mm, 10mm, and 12mm, as well as SAE thread pitches found on domestic Ford, GM, and Mopar applications. If you're unsure what thread size your shift lever uses, MDL's tech support can help you identify the correct adapter.

Description

Worn, faded shift knobs kill the look of an otherwise clean build - and cheap replacements crack, fade, or spin loose within a season. MDL's 6-Speed Black Shift Ball solves both problems with a high-impact polymer resin formulation specifically engineered for the automotive industry. This isn't generic plastic - it's a performance-grade compound designed to resist stress cracking with age while handling the torque and temperature extremes of hard driving.

The white 6-speed shift pattern is subsurface - meaning it's embedded beneath the outer layer, not printed or painted on top. It won't wear off from palm contact, won't fade from UV exposure, and won't peel at the edges. The 16mm x 1.50 brass master insert is equally overbuilt, exceeding the auto industry's specification of 200 ft. lbs. static pull and 20 ft. lbs. twist torque. Precision machining and polishing deliver a high-gloss finish that looks as good as it feels.

The 16mm thread pitch fits most aftermarket performance shifters directly. If your shifter uses a different thread size, MDL stocks thread adapters to match - just know your shifter's thread pitch when ordering so we can recommend the right reducer. This universal approach makes the shift ball compatible with Ford, GM, and Mopar applications when properly matched to your shifter.

At 4 ounces with a 1-7/8" diameter, this shift ball delivers ergonomic comfort and balanced weight for crisp, confident throws. Made in the USA with the quality standards serious builders demand.

• Precision-molded plastic construction for smooth, quiet operation
• Lower tooth count for higher axle ratios and/or taller tires
• Works with cable-driven mechanical speedometer systems

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.

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

• 20-tooth driven gear for precise speedometer calibration
• Black color-coded for easy identification per Ford specification
• 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

• 21-tooth red gear follows Ford's factory color-coding system for manual transmissions
• Largest standard driven gear tooth count available for maximum speedometer correction
• 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.

What's Included

• 21-tooth red speedometer driven gear (precision molded nylon)

Key Features

• Secures driven speedometer gear for proper placement and operation in Ford T5 transmissions
• Direct replacement for original clips that have become brittle from heat exposure
• Essential component for automatic-to-manual conversions where no clip exists
• Compatible with all Ford T5 transmissions

Description

Clip-style speedometer gears require a retaining clip to lock the driven gear securely in the transmission housing, and this replacement clip delivers the secure fit your Ford T5 needs. Without a properly functioning clip, the driven speedometer gear can back out of the housing during operation, causing inaccurate speedometer readings and potential fluid loss.

Original retaining clips often become brittle after years of heat cycling in the transmission environment. If you're servicing your Ford T5, T-45, T-56, TKO/TKX, and Magnum speedometer gear or coming from an automatic transmission that didn't use a mechanical speedometer setup, a new retaining clip ensures your driven gear stays exactly where it needs to be. This is an inexpensive detail that makes the difference between a speedometer that works reliably and one that gives you trouble down the road.

This clip is the correct fitment for all Ford T5 transmissions and works with standard Ford-style driven speedometer gears. Keep one on hand whenever you're doing speedo gear service work.

What's Included

• One (1) retaining clip for Ford driven speedometer gear

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

• 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
• Weather-resistant construction - interior mounting recommended for maximum longevity
• 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.

What's Included

• Reverse lockout control module with microprocessor
• Six-wire harness with color-coded leads
• Inline fuse
• Installation instructions
• MDL lifetime technical support

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.

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

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.

Sonnax slip yokes are forged, not cast, for greater strength, and they undergo a precision-machining process to guarantee exceptional balance and minimal runout. The 1350 series U-joint capability provides a significant strength upgrade over 1330 applications--crucial for builds pushing serious horsepower. With a 3-5/8" U-joint width and 1-3/16" caps, the 1350 series delivers the torque capacity needed for modern high-output engines.

Every yoke is 100% leak-tested with the seal plug O.D. ground for superior seal, then air-tested to 40 psi to ensure optimum sealing. The smooth outer journal ensures uniform contact with the transmission seal, preventing leaks while promoting proper slip action during suspension travel. This attention to detail eliminates the fluid weeping common with lesser yokes.

This 31-spline configuration directly fits TREMEC TKX, TKO-500, TKO-600, and T56 Magnum transmissions, as well as Ford C6 and FMX automatics, Ford Toploader 4-speeds, and ZF 5-speed transmissions. Whether you're building a restomod, pro-touring car, or weekend warrior, this Sonnax slip yoke delivers the strength and durability your drivetrain demands.
