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…
The C2 & C3 Corvettes have been a very popular platform for Tremec TKO 5-speed conversions. 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.
