Re-defining what an aftermarket manual transmission should be, the T-56 Magnum 6-speed has quickly gained a reputation for being the baddest 6-speed on the market.

When it comes to hot rods there’s just something about being in tune with the rumble and having all three pedals on the floor giving you total control.

We could debate the pros and cons, reaction time, ease of rebuilds, etc. until we’re blue in the face – but there’s just nothing quite like dropping the clutch and mashing into that next gear with a good manual trans.

Our friends over at Tremec live by this code and put everything they have into producing the world’s best transmissions.

A TREMEC Magnum-equipped ’55 Chevy with a stroked big-block, and a 4-valve Cobra powered Bondurant Crown Vic, with a TKO.

Recently hitting the Power Tour pretty hard, there were a ton of radical rods, cruisers, and performance machines alike all on hand with their own versions of the perfect drivetrains.

If this doesn’t say application flexibility, we don’t know what does! This shot is from Day 3 of the 2012 Power Tour, and as you can see the gorgeous ’55 Chevy with a stroked big-block sports a T-56, and the 4-valve Cobra powered Bondurant Crown Vic, uses a TKO – quite the combo.
