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.

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.

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.

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

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]

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. The 1-1/8-inch x 26-spline input shaft fits T-45, TR-3650, T-56, TR-6060, and TREMEC Magnum transmissions with 26-spline inputs.

Break-in requires 500-750 miles of stop-and-go city driving to properly seat the friction surfaces - no drag racing or dyno pulls until you've actuated the clutch 1,200-1,500 times. Always resurface the flywheel with a coarse stone-ground finish, replace the pilot bearing, and verify bellhousing alignment during installation. This kit does not include a pilot bearing or throwout bearing.

What's Included

Description

When your Ford 4.6L or 5.0L modular engine is making serious power, OEM-style clutches and their stamped steel pressure plates become the weak link. The Tilton ST-246 was designed from the ground up as a true performance twin-disc clutch -- not an OEM-type stamped steel pressure plate with a floater tacked on. Tilton Engineering has been the leading supplier of small-diameter racing clutches since 1972, winning championships in F1, NASCAR, IMSA, IndyCar, SCCA, Formula Drift, and SCORE. That racing pedigree is engineered directly into this street-capable assembly.

The aluminum clutch cover shares technology from Tilton's championship-winning OT-Series racing clutches, delivering superior strength and stiffness compared to stamped steel alternatives. The high-mass pressure plate and floater plate are machined from the same proprietary materials used in Tilton's racing clutches, providing exceptional heat capacity and warpage resistance under sustained high-torque loads. The floater plate is twice the thickness of most competing twin-disc designs, which allows for the sprung-hub disc configuration, eliminates gear chatter, and provides dramatically better heat dissipation. Heavy-duty straps connecting the plates to the cover eliminate the noise and inconsistent engagement plaguing lesser twin-disc designs.

This assembly's dual 246mm organic discs with sprung center hubs deliver 850 lb-ft capacity while dampening engine vibrations and reducing gearbox noise for smooth street engagement. The chromoly steel flywheel features an integrated 164-tooth ring gear and precision register that locates the clutch for optimal balance -- a critical upgrade over the loose-fitting bolts and dowels used with stamped steel clutches. The result is a clutch system that handles serious power while maintaining street manners.

Fits Ford 4.6L and 5.0L modular engines with 8-bolt crank flanges. The 26-spline x 1-1/8-inch hub works with TREMEC TKO, TKX, T56 Magnum, and Magnum XL transmissions. Note: TREMEC transmission models 11010, 11011, and 16884 require the guide tube to be trimmed 0.5 inches to prevent disc interference. Magnum XL applications require hydraulic kit MD-900-2505-A, hose, and fitting (sold separately). Does not include pilot bearing or throwout bearing. Made in the USA.

Description

When you're pushing serious power through a Ford modular engine and need clutch engagement that won't slip under load, you don't compromise on components. This Tilton ST-246 twin-disk assembly delivers 1250 lb-ft of holding power with the precise, positive engagement characteristics that high-horsepower street/strip applications demand. Unlike stamped steel performance clutches that simply add a floater plate as an afterthought, the ST-246 was engineered from the ground up as a true twin-disk clutch system.

The precision-machined aluminum pressure plate cover incorporates technology proven in Tilton's championship-winning OT-Series racing clutches, providing superior strength, stiffness, and dynamic balance compared to OEM-type stamped steel covers. The high-mass pressure plate and floater plate are machined from the same proprietary materials used in Tilton's motorsport applications—delivering exceptional heat capacity and warpage resistance under hard use. The floater plate is twice the thickness of most twin-disk competitors, which allows for the solid hub construction while eliminating gear clatter and providing superior heat dissipation.

The cerametallic discs feature solid center hubs for maximum strength and positive engagement—essential for high-horsepower applications where precise modulation matters more than street comfort. Heavy-duty straps attach both the pressure plate and floater plate to the aluminum cover, minimizing noise and providing fast, clean release between shifts.

Designed for Ford 4.6L/5.0L/5.2L Voodoo engines with 8-bolt cranks and TREMEC transmissions with 1-1/8" x 26-spline input shafts. The billet chromoly flywheel features a 164-tooth ring gear with zero balance and a precision register to locate the clutch for optimal assembly balance.

Description

The factory crossmember on 1996-1998 Mustang Cobras is adequate for stock duty, but it becomes a weak link the moment you upgrade to a T-56 or push serious power through the drivetrain. This Stifflers tubular crossmember is purpose-built for the Cobra's unique "bolt-on" style crossmember mounts - the same brackets Ford used because the longer Cobra Spec T-45 positioned the transmission mount behind the standard crossmember location.

The single-tube design is the key to this crossmember's performance advantage. It adds stiffness and strength far beyond the OEM stamped-steel unit while actually reducing weight. The low-profile tubular construction also creates more exhaust clearance than the bulky factory piece - a real benefit when running aftermarket headers or high-flow exhaust systems. Installation is straightforward: the crossmember bolts directly to your existing 3.3" wide-body mounts with no relocation or fabrication required.

Adjustability is built into the design. Simply slide the mounting sleeves and reposition the included spacers to accommodate T-56 transmissions (including Magnum and Magnum XL), Cobra Spec T-45, or TH-400 applications. The crossmember is engineered to work with both OEM and aftermarket transmission mounts while maintaining your current pinion angle - no driveline geometry headaches.

Low deflection polyurethane bushings come standard, providing a firmer mount that dampens driveline vibrations and noise. For dedicated track cars, the polyurethane bushings can be replaced with optional solid bushings to eliminate deflection entirely. Note: This crossmember is designed specifically for 1996-1998 Cobra applications with the factory bolt-on crossmember brackets. If installing a Cobra Spec T-45 in a non-Cobra car, use part number TCB-M08 instead. Made in the USA by Stifflers.

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

Swapping a 700 lb-ft TREMEC T56 Magnum into your '94-'95 Mustang creates a driveline length mismatch that your factory driveshaft cannot solve. The Magnum's 31-spline output shaft requires a correctly-sized slip yoke, and the overall transmission length differs from the original T-5 or AOD. This custom aluminum driveshaft is purpose-built for that exact scenario -- engineered at 43.65" center-to-center specifically for the SN95 chassis with a T56 Magnum installation.

The lightweight aluminum tube dramatically reduces rotating mass compared to steel, freeing up power for acceleration while lowering stress on the drivetrain during high-rpm operation. The forged steel 31-spline slip yoke mates directly to the Magnum's output shaft, while the Ford 3.50" bolt circle flange yoke connects to your 8.8 small flange pinion without adapters or modifications. This is the factory-style flange configuration found on '94-'98 Mustang 8.8 rear ends -- the smaller bolt pattern that uses 1310 series U-joints rather than the larger 1330 pattern found on some Explorer and later applications.

Because every swap is slightly different based on transmission mount location, crossmember choice, and rear end positioning, MDL builds each driveshaft to your vehicle's actual measurements. Submit the completed Driveshaft Build Sheet with your measurements to info@moderndriveline.com and MDL will fabricate a balanced, ready-to-install driveshaft tailored to your specific build. Note: Yokes for these driveshafts are currently on backorder and may extend lead times -- inquire about current availability before ordering.

Converting to a modern TREMEC transmission demands a slip yoke that won't become the weak link in your drivetrain. Factory cast yokes are prone to spline twisting and failure under the torque output of high-performance engines. This Sonnax forged chromoly slip yoke is engineered to handle serious power without compromise, making it the go-to upgrade for street, strip, and track 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.
