The TREMEC T-56 Magnum, TKX, TKO, and T5 transmissions use a Ford based mechanical speedometer drive and require an adapter or a custom speedometer cable to drive a traditional speedometer. This mechanical adapter is the easiest and most economical solution to connect your existing GM 7/8″ threaded speedometer cable to the transmission. The one-piece design…
We are excited to announce the release of our new Carbon Edition Tremec Magnum 6-speed and TKX 5-speed upgrade packages. In the past we offered some various upgrades, but with the addition of our new in-house REM Isotropic finishing equipment we’ve been able to take these transmissions one step further.

It’s fairly often around here that we get a call from someone asking about the best way to handle a neutral safety switch install in their project, especially since many older cars and trucks were not equipped with them from the factory until it became a requirement in the early 1980’s.

With various trim levels and…

They are fun cars to own and drive, but their lack of overdrive can make them a little loud and uncomfortable at today’s highway and interstate speeds. Within the last couple of years Bowler Performance has introduced a line…
The Tremec T-56 Magnum is by far one of the best manual transmissions available today. With its 700 lbs./ft. torque capacity and ability to shift under brutal RPM levels it is a winner at nearly every level. You will be hard pressed to find another transmission of its size and weight with equal abilities, but…
As each year passes and another generation of car enthusiasts start to come of age we see more cars come to popularity that were once lost to the fading memories of our childhood. Many of us in the 35-50 year old range have fond memories of the 3rd Gen Camaro built from 1982-1992. What started…
