Official Release:
TREMEC Enhances Its Manual Transmission Lineup With Long Awaited Release Of The New Ford Magnum XL with a gear position sensor.
WIXOM, MI – TREMEC is pleased to announce the release of the long anticipated Ford version of the Magnum XL 6-speed manual transmission kit with a gear position sensor for 2019 and up Mustang GT to the aftermarket. Like the original Magnum, the Magnum XL is an aftermarket version of the celebrated TR-6060, which serves as factory equipment in numerous Detroit-based muscle and sports cars.
In order to accommodate the rearward shifter location of modern performance vehicles, the XL’s unique extension housing moves the shifter over eight inches back from the original Magnum’s most rearward location. To keep NVH (noise, harshness and vibration)-down to daily-driver acceptable levels, the XL is equipped with a unique shift isolator that provides an astonishing blend of dampening quality and precision shift feel.
With the addition of the gear position sensor customers will be able to retain the Rev Matching feature that their 2019 and up Mustang came with from the factory In the NVH sensitive world of modern automobile manufacturing, bolt-on ‘semi-remote’ shifters are often used on manual transmissions to isolate undesirable harmonics from the cabin of an otherwise quiet factory application.
While they perform this function well, the trade-off is heavily compromised shift quality in high-performance or competitive driving environments. TREMEC’s Magnum XL 6-speed solves this problem with a unique extended-length tail housing that provides a rigid direct-mount shifter for vastly improved performance and lightning quick shifts.
“There’s more to the Magnum XL than just shift performance and extended length” says, Mike Kidd, aftermarket business unit manager at TREMEC.
Again, like the original Magnum, the Magnum XL is rated at 700 lb-ft. of torque, supports 7800 rpm shifts and is available in the following gear ratio configuration:
