Key Features

• Complete transmission-to-bellhousing bolt set for Ford T56 Magnum installations
• Designed specifically for steel aftermarket bellhousings
• Metric fasteners with proper thread pitch for TREMEC T56 Magnum mounting holes
• Eliminates hardware sourcing headaches during your Ford 6-speed swap

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]

Key Features

• Premium-grade 8740 chromoly construction hardened to 180,000 PSI tensile strength

• Set of 6 bolts replaces all factory pressure plate fasteners

Description

The importance of pressure plate bolts in racing or high-performance street applications cannot be emphasized nearly enough. These fasteners play a key role in both the performance and safety of a vehicle. Factory pressure plate bolts are notorious weak points that can stretch or fail under power, leading to clutch slippage, pressure plate distortion, or catastrophic failure. When you're building serious power, the last thing you want is substandard hardware compromising your drivetrain.

ARP engineered these High Performance Series bolts specifically for 1986-1995 Ford 302 and 351 Windsor applications. Each bolt is forged from premium-grade 8740 chromoly steel and heat-treated prior to thread rolling and machining, achieving a nominal tensile strength of 180,000 PSI. The application-specific design ensures optimum grip length for your Ford V8, eliminating the guesswork that comes with generic hardware.

The 8mm x 1.25 threading matches factory specs while delivering vastly superior strength. Each bolt features a hex head design with 10mm socket access for easy installation and removal. The black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance while maintaining a clean appearance under the hood. The large diameter, low profile design increases clamping force compared to stock bolts, reducing the risk of pressure plate flex under high-load conditions.

Fits all 1986-1995 Ford applications equipped with 302 or 351W engines, including Mustang 5.0L, F-150 trucks, Bronco, E-Series vans, and Crown Victoria. Kit includes six pressure plate bolts with washers for complete replacement of all factory fasteners.

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.

What's Included

• Two-wire design matches OE Ford VSS signal format

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

• Direct-fit snap-in connector mates with the reverse lockout solenoid on all TREMEC T56 6-speed transmissions
• Generous 6-foot wiring length provides flexible routing through tunnels and firewalls
• Protective covering shields wiring from heat, abrasion, and moisture
• Designed for use with MDL's MD-700-0100-2 reverse lockout control module
• Fits Ford and GM T56 applications

Description

The TREMEC T56 utilizes a reverse lockout solenoid to prevent accidental shifts into reverse while attempting to engage 5th gear--a critical safety feature because reverse and 5th are located very close to each other on the shift pattern. When the solenoid isn't energized, spring pressure against the shift rail makes reverse engagement difficult. When powered, the solenoid retracts the pin, allowing smooth entry into reverse. The problem? Classic cars and restomod builds lack the factory PCM logic to control this solenoid, leaving builders to either muscle through the lockout or rig up makeshift solutions.

This 6-foot harness provides the factory-style snap-in connector that mates directly with the T56's reverse lockout solenoid. The extended length gives you the flexibility to route wiring cleanly through the transmission tunnel, up through the firewall, and to your control module location without splicing or extending. The protective covering shields the conductors from exhaust heat, sharp edges, and underbody moisture--critical for a harness that lives in a harsh environment.

This harness is designed to work with MDL's MD-700-0100-2 reverse lockout control module, which monitors vehicle speed via the VSS signal and automatically energizes the solenoid below approximately 5-10 MPH for easy reverse engagement, then de-energizes it at higher speeds to prevent accidental shifts. The result is OEM-style lockout behavior without relying on makeshift brake-light-switch wiring or manual override buttons. Fits all TREMEC T56 6-speed transmissions in Ford and GM applications.

What's Included

• 6-foot reverse lockout solenoid harness with protective covering
• Snap-in connector for TREMEC T56 reverse solenoid

Description

When swapping to a T56 Magnum or Ford T5 transmission, connecting the reverse light circuit is critical for both legal compliance and safety. This reverse switch harness eliminates the guesswork and provides a clean, factory-grade electrical connection that integrates seamlessly with existing vehicle wiring.

Built around the proven Weather Pack connector system, this harness delivers outstanding reliability in demanding engine bay environments. The pin-and-socket design creates a positive mechanical lock while sealing out moisture, dirt, and corrosive chemical vapors that destroy standard electrical connections over time. Heavy-duty 14 AWG wire handles the full electrical load with headroom to spare, while the 10-inch leads provide flexibility for routing around headers, exhaust components, and other obstacles.

The complete terminal and pigtail assembly plugs directly into GM T56 Magnum, Ford T56 Magnum, and V6 Ford T5 transmissions without modification. On the vehicle side, the Weather Pack connector interfaces cleanly with existing reverse light circuits or aftermarket wiring harnesses.

• 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

• Compatible with Ford T-5, T-45, TR3550, 5-speed and 6-speed Ford T-56, and Magnum transmissions (requires Ford-driven speedometer gears and retainer clip)

Description

Swapping to a TKO or TKX five-speed means ditching the factory mechanical speedometer cable - but your electronic dash, engine management system, or cruise control still needs a reliable speed signal. This digital speedometer sensor plugs directly into the Ford-style VSS port on your TREMEC transmission's passenger-side tail housing and delivers a clean 16-pulse signal that works with the industry-standard 16,000 pulses-per-mile input most aftermarket speedometers and ECUs expect.

The three-wire Hall effect design provides a stable square wave output that won't degrade over long wire runs. The included 10-foot pigtail harness gives you plenty of length to route wiring cleanly through the tunnel and up to your dash or ECU, with a three-pin connector for easy hookup. The Allen-head mounting bolt is a thoughtful detail - standard hex-head fasteners can interfere with the sensor body in tight quarters, so this design ensures proper installation without clearance issues.

Beyond the TKO and TKX, this sensor also works with T-5z 5-speed and 6-speed Magnum transmissions when paired with Ford-driven speedometer gears and a retainer clip. Note that it does not fit Super Magnum, Magnum XL, or Magnum F transmissions - those use a different VSS configuration. If you're running a Dakota Digital, Classic Instruments, Auto Meter, or other programmable electronic speedometer, this sensor's 16,000 PPM output drops right into their standard calibration range.

What's Included

• 16-pulse digital speedometer sensor with three-pin connector
• 10-foot three-wire pigtail harness
• Allen-head mounting bolt
