Sweet! We have a few of them out there as well. They are a pretty high end part so they aren't big movers, but the customers who have them can't say enough about them.

This one went into a TT GTO making a decent amount of torque. Its been in the car for about 6 weeks now and so far so good. High end unit but worth it for high horsepowered heavy cars.

DEFINITELY! We have a lot of customers with f-bodies and GTOs making crazy power and they keep burning up the input and cluster from just sheer over powering them and we have sold them a few to those guys. They haven't missed a beat either.

Yeah thats why we went this route. I offered to do a Viper spec 2.66 GTO unit for him with a oil pump and spray nozzle but he didn't want to fool with that. I then gave him this option and set it up to be a direct fit with only a yoke swap. It was a chunk of change but better for him in the long run.

Default input shaft

Have you guys replaced the input shaft on one these yet? I hear it is a much more involved job than on the old T56. Can you confirm? I haven't seen a service manual for it yet.

It is pretty much the same process to change the input in a Magnum/TR6060 as it is in a T56.

Yes, they will hold up just fine. We have quite a few customers daily driving them.

The Magnum is the strongest Tremec 6 speed available right now. It will handle what you are putting down and more.

It's a good chunk of money, but if you don't have a trans and need a new one, I think it's a good deal. I don't see you mention cryo treatment, can you add that as well on request?

You don't need a core the $4995.99 is for the transmission outright without a core. We can give you a discount if you have a core transmission to send to us. If you are interested just give me a call and we can go from there.

Cryo is an option we offer. You could add it to any of our transmissions for sure.

Thanks guys for the questions!

Bump this up for tax time. Sell your stock T56 transmissions and put that money towards a Bolt-in T56 Magnum!
