Tick Performance Ultimate Drag Race T56 Magnum Dog Ring 4 Speed Transmission ; No Core Required - TPUT54MAG
With today's technology and advanced ECUs, stick shift racers continue to
push the envelope with more and more HP and torque. Aggressive
street-style multi disk clutches can compound the issues found with keeping
a transmission and drivetrain together at extreme power levels, as well -
and then there is the other enemy: weight! Guys are making 1500+ whp in
'racecars' that weight 3300+ lbs!
Here at Tick, we have been campaigning our customer Joel Steele's stick
shift car, the "Constantine." The transmission you're about to learn about
has been tested in his car for two seasons now with a best ET of 6.95 @
202mph, the first & current Domestic H-Pattern and Coyote Stick Shift
Record Holder.
No core required, this transmission is sold complete!! If you have a core
housing, shift rail components, and all other various pieces of hardware to
complete this build contact someone on our sales staff at 336-719-0599.
Freight shipping is included to a freight terminal local to you. Choose
from the drop down for different shipping options.

About the Input Speed Sensor
We have found that proper clutch selection is critical to the life of your
transmission as well as the rest of your drivetrain. For these extreme
drag cars, this means an adjustable clutch. Having the ability to 'hit'
the tire softer even with more power or RPM (and leave the line more like
an automatic) will not only help keep your transmission in-tact, but it
will also make the car easier to handle and much more consistent. You'll
also have an advantage on days where the track surface or conditions aren't
the greatest. To fully take advantage of an adjustable clutch, you need to
monitor input shaft speed vs. engine speed. With the input speed sensor
found in this transmission, you can monitor this data through your modern
EFI system and use it to make the proper adjustments much more quickly
versus trying to make changes based on sound or feel.
About the Billet Front Plate
The most common failure we have seen on high horsepower T56 and TR6060
transmissions is a damaged input gear and the mating gear of the
countershaft. This can be an expensive repair as those are two of the most
expensive parts found inside to be replaced. These gears become
overheated, whether it be due to lack of fluid from hard acceleration (the
fluid rushes to the rear of the trans during hard acceleration) or simply
the extreme power. Being the most forward located gear in the box adds to
the fluid supply issues. Also, the input gear and the mating gear of the
countershaft are under load in all gears (except 4th which is 1:1 ratio) so
it is easy to understand why it is the most common gear to fail. The Tick Performance Billet Front plate includes a much-improved bung and sprayer design which consists of a
machined and welded bar that extrudes into the transmission, coating 2nd,
3rd, and 4th gears more evenly with oil.
· Improved Bungs and Sprayer system coats 2nd, 3rd and the input gear as well
as the mating cluster gears in oil
· Improved rigidity, better gear mesh, and engagement
· O-ring sealing for a leak-proof design
The Tick Performance Billet Front Plate for T56 and T56 Magnums is machined
here in house in Mount Airy, North Carolina. The billet design vastly
improves strength, which decreases gear deflection and enhances performance.
In our testing, we’ve found better gear engagement and improved gear wear
patterns. It handles torque deflection better, too, improving the life of
your transmission. The billet plate includes the Tick Performance Hi-Flow Trans Pump kit (with filter and fittings).
About the 4 speed Conversion
T56 and T56 Magnum transmissions have two overdrive gears. Fourth gear is
1:1 ratio just like 4 speed transmissions in the old days. By removing
these gears we are able to shave 10 lbs, but more importantly we have
redesigned the reverse lockout piston and modified the 5/6/R shift rail
assembly so that reverse is now located in the gate originally occupied by
5th. Combined with our modified reverse lockout piston and your ECU to
control (just as the oem ECU would control the reverse lockout) we have
made it impossible to miss 3rd gear by going too far to the right with the
shifter. A shift from second to third can now have a strong directional
push to the right and the lockout will act as a barrier or guide to direct
the shift straight into 3rd gear!! That same strong directional push to
the right that you as the driver will exert greatly reduces your chance of
a 1-2-1 shift. Many have simply removed 5th and 6th gear from T56
transmissions over the years for the weight savings, but they left an empty
gate where 5th and 6th were located which left you as the driver to guide
the shift into the right 'slot' or you were relying on the detents of the
transmission and spring load of your shifter to line the shift up in hopes
that you don't accidentally go back into first gear.
