You will always find varying reports of shifting experiences with a TKO. The spectrum will go from terrible to awesome. Terrible is usually the owner that didn't believe the issue was an issue and then felt snookered when he experienced the issue first hand. The awesome report will come from the individual who drives the car almost like a daily driver never taxing the shifting mechanism of the transmission.

I have yet to hear of any T-56 Magnum owner complain about the shifting. For those who feel six speeds are too many gears to shift through, remember it is a four speed with two overdrives for highway. You won't shift anymore but you will shift much more smoothly and easily.

The T-56 is a bigger transmission than a TKO so some chassis might need a little lovin' to fit it into the transmission tunnel. It is heavier than a TKO. TKO's come in right around 100 lbs. The T-56 Magnum is typically around 135 depending on options like tail shaft choice.

The install is not a straight forward bolt in but it is also not a lot of pushups. They are strong, shift effortlessly and seem to have a gear for any road condition you are likely to encounter. They are not cheap.
