Description
Tremec Magnum-F Manual Transmissions TUET16362 – Product Overview
The Tremec Magnum-F Manual Transmissions TUET16362 is a performance-focused 6-speed manual transmission from Tremec. It is designed for fourth-generation Camaro and Firebird owners who need a stronger, brand-new replacement option for aging T-56 transmissions.
This transmission belongs to the Tremec Magnum-F Manual Transmissions product line and is identified by Manufacturer’s Part Number TUET16362 and Summit Racing Part Number REM-TUET16362.
The Magnum-F was developed for 1998–2002 GM F-body cars, where quality T-56 replacement parts have become harder to source. It uses Tremec’s modern TR-6060/Magnum architecture to provide improved strength, shift feel, and long-term performance.
This model features a 6-speed close-ratio layout with 2.66 first gear, 1.00 fourth gear, 0.80 fifth gear, and 0.63 sixth gear. The fifth and sixth gears provide double-overdrive capability for performance vehicles that need both strong acceleration and practical cruising behavior.
The transmission uses a 1.125-inch input shaft diameter with 26 input splines. It also uses a 31-spline output shaft. These details are important when selecting the correct clutch disc, yoke, driveshaft, and related installation components.
The Tremec Magnum-F Manual Transmissions TUET16362 includes a shifter, but it does not include a bellhousing and does not include a yoke. Buyers should confirm all supporting parts before ordering.
Fitment and Application Details
The Tremec Magnum-F Manual Transmissions TUET16362 is designed for fourth-generation Camaros and Firebirds, especially 1998–2002 GM F-body cars using T-56 transmission applications.
The Magnum-F also addresses shifter-location needs for several other applications that use a similar shifter position. The supplied product details mention third-generation F-bodies, LT1-powered fourth-generation F-bodies, LS-swapped late models, A80 Supras, FD RX-7s, and more.
Fitment should be confirmed before purchase by checking the vehicle platform, engine, bellhousing, clutch disc spline count, flywheel, pilot bearing, clutch release system, output yoke, driveshaft length, transmission mount, crossmember position, shifter location, tunnel clearance, speedometer pickup needs, and cooler circuit requirements.
The Magnum-F fills the shifter-position gap between the original Magnum and the extended-length Magnum XL. Where the original Magnum shifter location may sit too far forward and the Magnum XL may sit too far rearward, the Magnum-F’s in-between position can provide a better fit for many F-body and swap applications.
Because this transmission uses a 26-spline input shaft, it requires a compatible 26-spline clutch disc. Because it uses a 31-spline output shaft, the correct yoke must be selected separately.
This transmission does not include a bellhousing or yoke, so buyers should plan those parts based on the exact vehicle and drivetrain layout.
For buyers browsing the manual transmissions category, this product fits naturally with related drivetrain components such as bellhousings, clutch kits, flywheels, pilot bearings, yokes, driveshaft parts, transmission mounts, speedometer components, cooler circuit parts, and installation hardware.
Build Quality and Reliability
The Tremec Magnum-F Manual Transmissions TUET16362 is built using modern Tremec TR-6060/Magnum architecture, giving fourth-generation F-body owners a strong replacement option for older T-56 transmissions.
The transmission is made from 100 percent brand-new OEM-quality content. This is important for buyers who want a fresh performance transmission rather than a used or remanufactured unit.
The Magnum-F includes durable componentry used in many modern OEM muscle and sports car transmission platforms. This gives the transmission a serious foundation for high-performance street, road racing, and pro-touring applications.
Compared with older T-56 units, the Magnum-F includes increased face-width on all gears, which supports improved strength and long-term durability under load.
It also uses a robust combination of double and triple cone synchronizers. These synchronizers help improve shift quality, reduce effort, and support cleaner engagement during performance driving.
The main case includes enhanced webbing, which supports case strength and stability. The transmission also includes provisions for a cooler circuit, giving buyers added support for demanding use where temperature management matters.
The included isolator-style shifter helps reduce in-cabin noise and vibration while still delivering the precise and communicative shift feel expected from Tremec Magnum transmissions.
What Makes This Transmission a Strong Choice
The Tremec Magnum-F Manual Transmissions TUET16362 is a strong choice for buyers who need a modern 6-speed manual transmission built around F-body fitment needs and performance drivability.
One of its strongest advantages is its intended role as a replacement for T-56 transmissions in 1998–2002 GM F-body cars. This gives Camaro and Firebird owners a focused replacement path when original T-56 parts or good used units are difficult to find.
Another important advantage is the Magnum-F shifter position. Its in-between location helps solve fitment issues where the original Magnum location may be too far forward and the Magnum XL may be too far back.
The 700 lb-ft torque capacity gives the transmission the strength needed for demanding high-performance street and road-racing use when paired with the correct clutch, driveline, and supporting components.
The 2.66 first gear ratio and 0.63 sixth gear provide a useful balance of performance gearing and overdrive cruising. This close-ratio configuration supports high-performance street and road-racing applications where controlled gear spacing matters.
The included isolator-style shifter also adds value by reducing cabin noise and vibration while maintaining sharp shift feedback.
For buyers who want a brand-new Tremec transmission with modern strength, crisp shifts, double-overdrive ratios, and F-body-focused fitment, the TUET16362 Magnum-F is a strong manual drivetrain solution.
Ideal Buyers and Use Cases
The Tremec Magnum-F Manual Transmissions TUET16362 is best for fourth-generation Camaro and Firebird owners, LS swap builders, pro-touring enthusiasts, road-racing drivers, performance shops, and drivetrain installers.
It is especially suitable for 1998–2002 GM F-body applications originally using T-56 transmissions.
This transmission is also useful for builds requiring a similar shifter position, including third-generation F-bodies, LT1-powered fourth-generation F-bodies, LS-swapped late models, A80 Supras, FD RX-7s, and compatible custom applications.
It is a strong fit for buyers who need 700 lb-ft torque capacity, close-ratio 6-speed gearing, a 26-spline input shaft, 31-spline output shaft, an included shifter, and modern Tremec architecture.
The product is not a complete installation kit. The bellhousing is not included, and the yoke is not included, so buyers should confirm those parts before ordering.
The best buyer for this transmission is someone who has already confirmed shifter position, bellhousing fitment, clutch spline requirements, output yoke needs, driveshaft length, speedometer setup, and vehicle-specific installation requirements.

Ordering Support and Fitment Guidance
Before ordering the Tremec Magnum-F Manual Transmissions TUET16362, buyers should confirm the full drivetrain setup for the intended vehicle.
Important details include vehicle platform, original transmission, bellhousing selection, clutch disc spline count, flywheel, pilot bearing, clutch release system, output yoke, driveshaft length, transmission mount, crossmember, tunnel clearance, speedometer setup, cooler circuit needs, and shifter position.
This transmission uses a 26-spline input shaft, so the clutch disc must match that spline count. It also uses a 31-spline output shaft, so the yoke must be selected correctly.
The transmission includes the shifter, but the bellhousing is not included and the yoke is not included. Buyers should plan those parts before installation.
The Tremec Magnum-F Manual Transmissions TUET16362 is designed for buyers who want modern strength, clean shift quality, F-body-focused shifter placement, and double-overdrive drivability in a 6-speed manual transmission.
For a complete drivetrain installation, buyers may also need clutch components, flywheel, pilot bearing, release bearing, bellhousing, yoke, driveshaft parts, transmission mount, fluid, wiring, speedometer components, cooler circuit parts, and installation hardware.
