The TREMEC TUET18131 Magnum XL T56 6-Speed Transmission is a premium high-performance manual transmission designed specifically for late-model GM rear-wheel-drive applications . Based on the legendary TR-6060 platform, the Magnum XL combines race-proven strength with smooth street manners, making it an ideal upgrade for high-horsepower muscle cars, pro-touring builds, and performance street vehicles.
Featuring an extended-length (XL) tail housing, the TUET18131 positions the shifter in the factory location for many late-model GM vehicles, eliminating the need for complicated shifter relocation kits. The rigid direct-mount shifter design delivers precise gear engagement while maintaining excellent noise and vibration control for comfortable street driving.
Rated to handle up to 700 lb-ft of torque , the Magnum XL is built with high-strength gears, upgraded synchronizers, and a reinforced one-piece countershaft capable of supporting naturally aspirated, supercharged, turbocharged, and stroker engine combinations. Its lightweight aluminum construction and dual overdrive gears provide exceptional performance while reducing cruising RPM for improved fuel economy and reduced engine wear.
Whether you’re upgrading a Camaro, CTS-V, GTO, or custom LS-powered project, the Magnum XL delivers the strength, durability, and precision expected from one of the world’s most respected performance transmissions.
