part of the reason it took so long to come out with the Magnum F was because of production of that the tailshaft housing--that's not a part they make anymore and i guess it's a big deal to stop production of other things to make a relatively small run of something else... i seriously doubt they'll sell just the parts to retrofit though since that's a real small market segment--look how hard it was to even get the Magnum F with BIG demand!    Several Tremec dealers DO do the modification but all said and done you'll probably spend more than you'll lose by selling your old Magnum and buying a new one not to mention voiding your warranty if thats a concern. 

...and I put the very first one in my FD!!

i might be willing to part with mine but the price would probably be about twice your budget.. just passed a fresh smog check 2 days ago though!

While the effects of legalized marijuana are clearly starting to show themselves, swapped vehicles continue to not be legal.

Pass it around!

that's 100% false my friend (the swapped vehicles part)

Prices for 2018 have increased from Tremec.  Rumor may become reality.... the Fbody style offset Magnum should be available by late spring/early summer.  This allows you to run your existing driveshaft without shortening it (replace yoke for 31 spline unit), the supplied shifter remains in same place as '98-02 Fbody so no real mods needed aside from a potential small setback stick.

Revised info:
4 solutions for setting the shifter further back on standard Magnum
1) Sikky billet shifter $500
2) American Powertrain White Lightning $335 approx
3) I modify the stock 6 bolt shifter that comes with the Magnum for the proper setback for $150
4) You modify the shifter yourself with $10 worth of properly measured parts I sell and basic instructions (cutoff wheel, drill press, MIG welder, 1.5 hrs voila.... magically you have saved yourself $300+).

I met with Nate from Tremec a few weeks ago and he told me the same thing!  it's either gonna get made or not--there will be no more "speculation" and the decision should come pretty soon. 

Also there's the 5th option for relocating the Magnum shifter of putting a regular T56 tailshaft on it.  there are a few more parts to buy and it is a little involved but if Tremec doesn't build the Magnum-F I may try that option for fun. 

Huge fan of the tech videos you and Mike have been doing, the suspension one especially was fascinating to see the engineering details put into resetting the geometry.

Keep them coming please!

thanks!  there will definitely be more.. no one wants to read anything anymore and it's actually easier in some respects to make a video than write an article.

No more leaks?

nope!  I had a little leaking out of the bearing on the old one but even that wasn't really enough to complain about.. The biggest improvement was the shift quality over the old one though.  MUCH less lateral slop with the new linkage arm and hardware and a lot more confidence inspiring.

updated from the Gen 1 SIKKY shifter on our T56 Magnum (in an LS3 FD) to their newer upgraded version.  Check it out!
