FAQs

Is the TREMEC 6-speed a good transmission? ›

The kingpin of TREMEC's high performance line-up, the Magnum double-overdrive 6-speed transmission takes the very best from TREMEC's current OEM technologies and pairs it with the most popular features of the TKO 5-speed. Able to withstand a massive 700 lb-ft.

However, even the best over-the-shelf manual transmissions are only rated to handle 700 hp. In an effort to save the manuals, we contacted Tick Performance of Mount Airy North Carolina to see inside their Stage 5 Tremec T56 Magnum transmissions. They claim this fully synchronized six-speed is good for 900 rwhp.

In fact, nearly everything about the Magnum is superior to the TKO. The Magnum uses a single rail-shift mechanism (as opposed to the multi-rail TKO) and multiple-cone synchronizers (the TKO has single-cone brass), and it has a larger center distance (meaning larger diameter gears).

The TREMEC Magnum-F is overall two inches shorter (measurement B above, 31.8 inches) than the standard Magnum 6-speed (B 33.8-inches) and 6.5-inches shorter than the Magnum XL (B 38.3-inches) while the Magnum-F shifter location (measurement A above, 29.4-inches) fits right in between the standard Magnum 6-speed (A 26.6 ...

TREMEC is a wholly owned subsidiary of KUO Group, which is based in Mexico City. Some of the first TREMEC products were originally designed by Borg-Warner, including the widely used T-56.

TKX Five-Speed

There's a new kid in town: the TREMEC TKX. This five-speed was introduced in late 2020 (one of the few good things that year) and going by the specs, it's everything the TKO is and a whole lot more. This new trans has the 600 lb-ft rating of the TKO and it can easily shift up to 7,500 rpm!

The ultimate American muscle car features a TREMEC TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission with a twin-disc high-performance clutch - a proven performer that was first introduced in the Dodge Viper SRT10. A launch control system helps maximize straight-line acceleration.

The main difference between a five speed and six speed transmission is how they handle overdrive. On the highway where it's reasonable to drive at speeds around 65 miles per hour, overdrive gears help save fuel. The engine doesn't need to work as hard to maintain speed. That extra sixth gear is even more efficient.

Reasonably light at 135 lbs.

From the makers of Trojan™, these large condoms are larger than standard condoms so they can provide extra comfort. They look good coming out of the black and gold box, and they feel great on.

What does magnum mean in firearms? ›

Magnum: An improved version of a standard cartridge that uses the same caliber and bullet, but has more powder (generally in a longer cartridge case), giving the fired bullet more energy. Magnum shotgun loads, however, refer to an increased amount of shot pellets in the shell.

Though narrower in design, the blocker and friction rings in the TREMEC TR-6060 and Magnum have an increased diameter and a standard triple-cone arrangement for substantially more surface area and strength than the double-cone setup found in the majority of T-56s.

A brief overview of the benefits of a 6 speed manual transmission, include advantages like a massive increase in acceleration, more power when you need it regardless of road speed, quieter and more relaxed highway cruising, reduced engine wear and vastly improved fuel economy.

“Best of all the T-5Z has a torque rating of 330 lb-ft based on 100,000 miles of use. The stock T-5Z can handle up to 450 hp with a soft locking clutch when it is not shock loaded like in drag racing.”
