With part availability and the ever rising need for more horsepower OEM LT1 T56 transmissions are becoming obsolete. We have done all the leg work in finding the correct parts to convert your old 93-97 Gen 2 LT1 F-Body to a T56 Magnum F and push style clutch.
This kit includes the following:
- Quicktime SFI Certified Bellhousing
- Powermaster Starter
- OEM 98-02 F-body Slave Cylinder
- Our Adjustable Master Cylinder kit
- Your choice of Spec Single Disc Clutch
- Your choice of Spec flywheel
- OEM GM Pilot Bearing
This swap will require some modifications to be a true "bolt in" kit. The new transmission will sit 1" further rearward than the stock transmission so the tunnel opening will need to be trimmed. This difference causes the OEM crossmember and torque arm to no longer fit. You have the option of modifying the OEM crossmember or fabricating your own crossmember. The two previously listed options will require a body mounted torque arm which can be purchased from the drop down menu if one has not been previously installed.
The T56 Magnum F swap will require a custom drive shaft or shortening of the stock driveshaft. We offer an option to include the correct 31 spline chromoly slip yoke with 1350 series joints. If you are planning to shorten the OEM driveshaft you will need our Conversion U-Joint.

Consider Your Old F-Body T56 transmission Obsolete!
TREMEC releases the Magnum-F 6-speed transmission for fourth-generation Camaros and Firebirds.
The long-awaited and highly-anticipated F-car-specific version of TREMEC’s popular Magnum 6-speed has finally arrived! Designed to replace T56 transmissions in 1998-2002 GM F-bodies, the Magnum-F leverages TREMEC’s pervasive TR-6060/Magnum architecture in order to provide fourth-gen enthusiasts significantly improved performance and relief from a shrinking pool of quality T56 replacement parts.
Born in the vacuum created by the release of the original T56 Magnum (now known simply as ‘Magnum’) back in 2009, the Magnum-F fills a longstanding void in the overall Magnum line with regard to shifter locations; addressing not only LS1-powered ‘98-02 F-bodies, but several other applications that utilize a similar shifter position. Beneficiaries include third-generation F-bodies, LT1-powered fourth-gens, LS-swapped late models of all varieties, and sport compact applications such as A80 Supras, FD RX-7s, and more! Where the original Magnum shifter locations may prove too far forward, and the extended length Magnum XL’s too far back, the Magnum-F’s in-between position often proves to be just right.
Inside, the Magnum-F benefits from the same durable componentry found in many of today’s hardest hitting OEM muscle & sports cars. Over the T56, the Magnum-F boast increased face-width on all gears, a robust combination of double and triple cone synchronizers, enhanced webbing in the main case, provisions for a cooler circuit and more! TREMEC also took the opportunity to upgrade the shifter to an isolator type unit, like that found on its Magnum XL. The shifter reduces in-cabin noise and vibrations while at the same time providing the precise and communicative shift feel that all Magnums are known for. And like all TREMEC aftermarket transmissions, the Magnum-F is made from 100% brand-new OEM-quality content.
Magnum F 6-Speed for GM 4th Gen F-body, 700ft-lb constant load rated, unmodified, 26-spline input shaft, 4616 chromoly gears and shafts, one-piece counter shaft, triple cone synchros,
- 700 lb-ft. of torque capacity
- Reasonably light at 135 lbs. dry
- Choice of two different gear ratio sets with unique double overdrive ratios
- Incredibly short, extremely low-effort shift throws, with crisp, precise engagement
- Modern OE supercar technology for the ultimate pro-tourers, road-racers and more.
