Description

Transform your '68-'74 Nova with the most advanced 6-speed manual transmission package available. The TREMEC T56 Magnum takes the very best from TREMEC's current OEM technologies and pairs it with the most popular features of the TKO 5-speed. Known in its original equipment form as the TR-6060, the Magnum is an aftermarket version of the same transmission found in today's most celebrated factory muscle cars including the Dodge Challenger and Viper, and the Chevrolet Camaro. This complete conversion eliminates the guesswork - every component is engineered to work together seamlessly in your small block Chevy Nova.

Able to withstand a massive 700 lb-ft of torque while providing unbelievably crisp shifts, no other manual transmission offers as much combined strength, versatility, and general ease-of-use as the T56 Magnum. The engineering advantages are substantial: face widths of all gears have been significantly widened to handle more torque, while the much-stronger one-piece countershaft features thicker journals and widened gear faces. The forged gears feature laser-beam welded engagement teeth, enabling much more precise shaping with better pitch and angle control and placement of positive stops to prevent over-travel on hard shifts.

Shift quality sets the Magnum apart from anything that came before it. Spring-loaded ball-type detents replace the old stamped-steel keys, reducing friction and eliminating the notchy feel common in earlier designs. Enhanced shift forks have permanently mounted shift links - solving the wear problem that caused incomplete shifts and gear jump-out in the original T56. The result is incredibly short, extremely low-effort shift throws with crisp, precise engagement every time.

This package covers every aspect of your conversion with carefully selected, compatible components. Choose from multiple TREMEC T56 Magnum transmission options, clutch kits from leading manufacturers, hydraulic release systems, custom and Hurst shifters, various flywheel configurations, and speedometer solutions. All hardware, wiring harnesses, pedal assemblies, and installation components are available to ensure a complete, professional installation. Built specifically for 1968-1974 Chevy Nova applications with small block Chevy engines.
