With today's technology and advanced ECUs, stick shift racers continue to push the envelope with more and more HP and torque. Aggressive street-style multi disk clutches can compound the issues found with keeping a transmission and drivetrain together at extreme power levels, as well - and then there is the other enemy: weight! Guys are making 1500+ whp in 'racecars' that weight 3300+ lbs!

About the Input Speed Sensor
We have found that proper clutch selection is critical to the life of your transmission as well as the rest of your drivetrain. For these extreme drag cars, this means an adjustable clutch. Having the ability to 'hit' the tire softer even with more power or RPM (and leave the line more like an automatic) will not only help keep your transmission in-tact, but it will also make the car easier to handle and much more consistent. You'll also have an advantage on days where the track surface or conditions aren't the greatest. To fully take advantage of an adjustable clutch, you need to monitor input shaft speed vs. engine speed. With the input speed sensor found in this transmission, you can monitor this data through your modern EFI system and use it to make the proper adjustments much more quickly versus trying to make changes based on sound or feel.
About the Billet Front Plate
The most common failure we have seen on high horsepower T56 and TR6060 transmissions is a damaged input gear and the mating gear of the countershaft. This can be an expensive repair as those are two of the most expensive parts found inside to be replaced. These gears become overheated, whether it be due to lack of fluid from hard acceleration (the fluid rushes to the rear of the trans during hard acceleration) or simply the extreme power. Being the most forward located gear in the box adds to the fluid supply issues. Also, the input gear and the mating gear of the countershaft are under load in all gears (except 4th which is 1:1 ratio) so it is easy to understand why it is the most common gear to fail. The Tick Performance Billet Front plate includes a much-improved bung and sprayer design which consists of a machined and welded bar that extrudes into the transmission, coating 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears more evenly with oil.
· Improved Bungs and Sprayer system coats 2nd, 3rd and the input gear as well as the mating cluster gears in oil
· Improved rigidity, better gear mesh, and engagement
· O-ring sealing for a leak-proof design
The Tick Performance Billet Front Plate for T56 and T56 Magnums is machined here in house in Mount Airy, North Carolina. The billet design vastly improves strength, which decreases gear deflection and enhances performance.
In our testing, we’ve found better gear engagement and improved gear wear patterns. It handles torque deflection better, too, improving the life of your transmission. The billet plate includes the Tick Performance Hi-Flow Trans Pump kit (with filter and fittings).
