TREMEC T56 Magnum S197 Transmission

[bigray327]

Just buy a 2004 Cobra specific T-56 Magnum, get LS-1 mid plate, buy swarr shifter and trans mount, custom driveshaft, all= T56 magnum for S-197 at your doorstep in less than 2 weeks.

And probably half the cost, but that Swarr shifter kinda negates the whole direct shifter thing, which is IMHO one of the biggest selling points of this over a 6060.

 

[Boomer_Gooner]

Well it is a hell of a lot better than the stock 3650/6060 shifter style.

Why?

 

[white05gt]

I'm going to wait since I probably won't drive my car any this year. If everything works out with work, I will have my car shipped to JPC to have this and a new long block installed.

 

[bolivianpimp]

I'll be waiting patiently for the specs on pricing to come out, hope the 3650 stays together for a while with boost lol

I really don't see why it is taking so long for this trans to come out. Can't be to hard to make it fit S197's. I have been running a T56 Viper spec trans since late 2007. Other than the first gear is to high for what I want to do its been great. Although I did get tired of waiting for this to come out and just bought a new 6060 last week.

Still am dumbfounded that nobody from Tremec trolls this site and keeps us informed. Pathetic.

What about this one? Same or different?

This one looks to be the old style without the hydrolic TOB.

Thank you for your responce. I am one that could not wait, and bought a TR6060, and love it!. It would be great if Tremec could also offer an 6060 to magnum upgrade kit( output shaft, tailshaft housing, shift rod, any bearings or seals)

 

[iRoush]

^Sweet! (To Tremec. lol!)

But yea, I took the TR6060 when I did my SVT swap.

 

[vbluep51]

I talked to D&D Performance and according to them the magnum and tr6060 are the same.
