T56 Magnum Transmission – Built to Handle GM LS Power in Your Camaro or Firebird

When you’re pushing serious power through your GM LS-powered Camaro or Firebird, your stock transmission just won’t cut it. The T56 Magnum transmission is the performance benchmark in modern muscle car drivetrains, engineered to handle high horsepower while delivering smooth, confident shifts. Whether you’re building a street beast or a track-day terror, this 6-speed transmission is designed to hold up under pressure and put the power down with authority.

Built by Tremec with pro-level racing tech, the T56 Magnum transmission features a robust gearset, dual overdrive ratios, and increased torque capacity, all in a case that fits your F-body with minimal fuss. With upgraded synchronizers and improved shift feel, it’s a massive leap over stock T56 units or older 4-speed autos. It’s not just a bolt-in replacement, it’s a total performance upgrade that transforms how your LS-powered F-body drives.

For builders chasing reliability, durability, and shift precision, the T56 Magnum transmission delivers. It’s been battle-tested on the strip and street alike. With a 700 lb-ft torque rating and smart internal upgrades, this unit was born to handle the punishment of aggressive launches, hard pulls, and high-speed highway runs, all while offering the comfort of double overdrive cruising.

Features and Benefits

  • Rated for 700 lb-ft of torque – Built to withstand high horsepower LS builds without breaking a sweat.

  • Dual overdrive gear ratios – Keeps highway cruising smooth and efficient while still packing close-ratio performance.

  • Improved synchronizers and shift feel – Crisp, clean gear changes with reduced notchiness and wear.

  • F-body specific tail housing and shifter location – Designed to fit fourth-gen Camaro and Firebird chassis with minimal modifications.

  • Upgraded gearsets – Stronger, quieter gears for long-term durability and smoother performance under load.

Modern Muscle Needs a Modern Gearbox

Say goodbye to missed shifts and transmission flex under pressure. The T56 Magnum transmission is everything a serious LS swap or high-performance F-body build needs. Whether you’re cruising Woodward Avenue or ripping down the backstretch, this 6-speed beast ensures every bit of power makes it to the pavement. It’s the bulletproof upgrade your drivetrain deserves.

REVIEWS

Swapped this T56 Magnum into my LS3 Firebird and it’s a total game-changer. The shifts are tight, smooth, and you can tell it was made to take abuse. I’ve thrown everything at it, drag strip, weekend cruises, backroad pulls, and it hasn’t flinched. This thing is built like a tank and feels buttery on the street.

Finally ditched the stock trans in my ’01 Camaro SS and went with the Magnum. Totally worth it. Installation was straightforward, and the difference in performance is night and day. Gear changes are so much more confident, and I can actually enjoy highway cruising thanks to the double overdrive. Zero regrets!
