TREMEC® UNVEILS NEW ‘DIRECT SHIFT’ 6-SPEED



FOR S197 MUSTANG APPLICATIONS


Plymouth, Michigan- Coming in the summer of 2010, the leader in manual transmission technology, TREMEC®, is set to release a brand new high performance 6-speed aimed specifically at the 2005-up Ford Mustang market. The T-56 MagnumTM for S197 Mustang applications represents a long awaited solution to the semi-remote shifters woes that are now prevalent in late-model performance vehicles—while offering all the high performance benefits TREMEC’s Magnum line-up is so well known for!

Designed primarily around the S197 Mustang chassis, TREMEC’s new Magnum model achieves what previously only numb and inaccurate semi-remote shifters could; giving 05-up Ford Mustang enthusiasts perfect in-cabin ergonomics along with all the performance benefits of a direct shift gearbox. Additionally, TREMEC’s new ‘S197 Magnum’ features a slip yoke interface for use with a 1-piece driveshaft, adds the ability to adapt to a ‘blow-proof’ bellhousing, and the eliminates the skip-shift feature slated to arrive in 2011 models of the Mustang GT.

As an aftermarket variant of the same transmission used in all Shelby GT500’s, this brute performance 6-speed offers incredibly precise, short and crisp shifts along with a generous 700-lb ft. of torque capacity for the ultimate street performance setups. TREMEC is even offering the new S197 Magnum with two unique sets of gear ratios for a truly custom tailored ownership experience. Add to that TREMEC’s existing line of T-56 Magnums for Modular engine applications, and TREMEC has nearly any Modular-powered install that enthusiasts can dream up covered!

will these trans fit on the new 2011 Mustang GT????

Just a minor update on this ancient thread. I contacted Tremec earlier this week regarding availability of the S197 T-56 Magnum. The answer I was given was "It'll be in full production by summer 2011"

What the hell is taking so long?

This isn't like Techco where they're "moving" indefinitely?

Short answer as it was explained to me: Sales department takes all these emails and requests to the bigwig department and says, "We can sell an assload of them." Bigwig department then sits around with calculators trying to figure out how many they need to sell so they can all retire to the Swiss Alps with a Victoria's Secret model off the profits. As you may surmise....this takes a while. Then the sales guys come back and say, "We've got pre-orders for an assload of these things." Bigwig guys again whip out the calculator and the V.S. catalog and commence jerking off for another six months.

Don't hold your breath.
