That transmission is the shit! I've been planning on that for my '05...then I went and ordered another mustang. On hold for now...the wife is not happy about the '15 coming...at all!

Interesting that no speedo correction was needed.

I need one of those...

Why would people get rid of the MT82?

The sensor uses the output shaft rotation to count.

The Magnum XL is a superior slush box with 700 ft lb torque capability and can handle 8000 rpm shifts. It also uses triple syncros, uses a blow proof bell housing and eliminates the semi-remote design. Far better transmission.

Again, I wonder how much too! If I miss a shift and grenade mine that is not covered under warranty, I need to know how much I should have in savings.

It is pretty steep. 3700 and up.

Isn't a factory replacement MT-82 about $5K? Sounds like a bargain to me!

I don't have the exact figure but the MT-82 is much cheaper than that. Less than $3k for the trans itself, not counting the clutch and other parts. The Tremec Magnum will be close to $6k installed when you factor in all the replacement parts and labor, maybe $5,500 if you install yourself.

For anyone thinking of just doing a swap on an otherwise stock Mustang be aware of how much taller and wider the gears are compared to the MT-82. Your car will feel much slower in comparison to the tighter gear spacing of the stock trans. Guys with forced induction would probably love it. The one Magnum-equipped Mustang I drove had a PD blower on it and it was a very sharp shifting trans. Had to slip 1st gear a lot to get going in traffic though.

A slush box is a torque converter (i.e., in an auto trans). A manual trans has no "slush box." In fact, it is essentially a derogatory term for an auto trans.

I want

Will a Mcleod RXT 8 bolt clutch and flywheel for a 5.0 work with this transmission?

Thanks grimace I off just a bit.

I want one but cannot justify the cost.
