1. A Brief History:

- Endurance: Known for its durability, the Magnum can withstand the rigors of high-performance driving, making it popular in racing circuits.
- Shift Quality: TREMEC’s patented technology ensures smooth shifts, which is a must-have for both street and track use.
3. Magnum vs. Magnum XL vs. Magnum F:
- Magnum: This is the base model and the foundation of the series. It’s versatile, robust, and designed for a wide range of vehicles.
- Magnum XL: As the name suggests, the XL is an extended version, specifically tailored for the modern S197 and S550 Ford Mustang and now there is a GM version of the XL perfect for the Zeta platform (Camaro/SS) and CTS-V. It provides a direct shift feel, eliminating the remote shifter.
- Magnum F: This version is optimized for 4th Gen F-Body Camaros & Firebirds as a direct replacement to the original T-56 and other GM applications (GTO/Holden). It allows for direct bolt-in, ensuring an easy and hassle-free installation.
