How to install a Tremec Magnum XL Transmission

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

How to install a Tremec Magnum XL 6 speed transmission conversion in an S197 Mustang. Fits 2005-2014 Mustang GT. This install is on a 2012 Mustang GT, but other models are very similar. This is a step-by-step conversion with an Exedy twin disc clutch, Dynotech drive shaft, and a Bowler Transmission all-in-one harness. Drive shaft and harness are available from Modern Driveline. Includes information on how to hook up the speedometer sensor, reverse lock out, and back up light.

    This is the clutch we used for this install. It handles 600 ft lbs of torque, but is SUPER SMOOTH. (It has solid hubs, so the trans is noisy under 2K in 4th gear.) www.kohrmotorsports.com/product/exedy-stage-4-twin-disc-clutch-kit-1996-2010-ford-mustang-26-spline-8-bolt/

    Hopefully you see this I’ve been looking around trying to figure out the reverse lights. You said in the video brake lights did you mean the reverse lights and also where do you splice the wires at cause I was under the impression you had to wire it all the way back to the reverse light. Im just very confused cause not everyone has made an install on a s550

    my app wont connect does that mean i have it wired wrong? also the sensor on the left side of the shifter i believe its the speed sensor clicks in increments of like 3-5sec when my ignition is in accessory mode too scared to turn on the car also the reverse lights won't turn on when i put it in reverse in accessory mode as well.

    Not sure about why your app won't connect. Check bluetooth settings, etc. I remember having the same sound when in accessory mode as well. It is normal. That's the reverse lock-out solenoid cycling. Go ahead and start the car and it should stop making that noise. If all else fails, call Bowler. They're helpful.
