The Ford T56 Magnum 6-Speed Transmission from Ford Racing (TUET16884) represents a significant upgrade for performance vehicles, built upon the robust TR-6060 platform and incorporating popular features from the TKO 5-speed. This transmission is engineered for strength and versatility, boasting a 700 ft-lb effective torque capacity thanks to substantially increased gear face widths and a two-piece laser-beam welded construction. Key specifications include a 2.97 ratio for first gear, with a gear ratio chart showing 2.97, 2.10, 1.46, 1.00, 0.80, and 0.63 for the subsequent gears, including double overdrive. It features a 26-spline input shaft and a 31-spline output shaft. The transmission utilizes triple cone synchronizers on gears 1-4 and double cone synchronizers on gears 5-6 and reverse for accurate, smooth, high-RPM shifting. It requires ATF Dextron III oil. This transmission offers modern OE technology for enhanced driving experience, suitable for pro-touring, road-racing, and autocross applications. It includes a cable release hardened steel guide tube and pivot stud, along with dual speedo pick-ups to accommodate both electric and mechanical speedometers, and a reverse light switch. Installation kits, including bell housing, flywheel, clutch, and release bearings, are available separately to facilitate integration into various Ford applications, with specific mentions of compatibility for 79-04 Mustangs with clutch cable setup.
