- 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/
I don’t understand why they would use that poop mt82 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ worst part is they’re STILL using them
Did you have the slave cylinder spacer on the MT82, and if so why?
Yes, the factory had it there. No idea why, but that's they way Ford did it.
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.
@@Mustang-Geek the app just says peripheral disconnected :/
@@Borrego43 I'd call Bowler.
You keep making buy new parts for my mustang hahahahahaha. I bought the Ford performance radiator, ford performance engine oil cooler, ford performance fan, ford performance transmission air scoop. Now this is next. 😁
Ha! Apologies! At least I'm hopefully taking the guesswork out of lightening your wallet :)
6:13 You wired up the ground , signal & +12 to the oem harness. Bowler recommends not to do this and to get a fresh +12 signal & ground. Any issue with going against Bowlers recommendation on this wiring setup ?
Worked great for me.
@@Mustang-Geek Good to know, Thanks Wes!

Excellent video guys!
Thanks! Let us know if you have any questions!
Thx 🙏 for sharing!!! Great video
You're welcome!
Will this fit in the 2010 mustang?
I think so. Check with your transmission kit supplier just to make sure.
Any issues with centering the bell housing? I know many aftermarket bell housings don't come close to properly locating the transmission.
Since my engine was stock, I figured I didn't need to do that. However, I'm building the motor now, so I'll check that and add a video to show that process!
Yep. I need it..
Sounds like someone will soon have to go and replace the rear main seal soon. I mean you didn't do it at this time or so it seems and you know it will be leaking very soon
Coyotes don't have the same rear main seal issues like earlier small blocks.
Amazing and I agree its a great trans. Could you do a video on how to do a fluid change on these? I'm a green DIY'r and their is very little how-to's for this trans. I'd greatly appreciate it!
I believe there's a drain plug. It's as easy as opening the drain plug and filling via the top plug.
@@Mustang-Geek i have a paxton 5.0 and its making 715whp and 525wtq. my goal is to make around 800hp. Is this trans going to handle the abuse?
@@Hardwaretuned Absolutely. This is the perfect transmission for that application.
@@Mustang-Geek awesome. I've heard nothing but great things about this trans
any issues with cruise control?
No, but I adjusted the ratios in the PCM to reflect those of the Magnum. Details on that will be in an upcoming book!
@@Mustang-Geek yeah I’ve been reading that’s what the problem is, I haven’t installed mine yet but I’m gonna be looking for a fix most likely from what I’ve been hearing.
@@nogo5.0 I was able to adjust the transmission ratios using HPTuners software.
@@Mustang-Geek cool! Yeah I’d definitely watch/read about a fix on how to do that it seems like an interesting concept on itself, may I ask who the car is tuned by? If it is at all
@@nogo5.0 I tuned it myself with HPTuners software. That'll also be in the book. But any person who tunes Mustangs should be able to handle the ratio changes.
Doing the Magnum XL swap now in my '12 Coyote. Will the pilot shaft fit the OEM pilot bearing? Did you upgrade to M-7600-C pilot bearing?
The factory pilot bearing fit. I did not upgrade the pilot bearing.
@@Mustang-Geek Good to hear! Couldn't find specs on pilot shaft diameter anywhere. Thanks!
Cool video
Great! Hopefully it helped!
Did you insert foam or dynamat to reduce road noise?
Did you measure runout on the bell housing, and use offset dowel pins?
No, I didn't have any increased road noise, but the solid hub clutch certainly made the transmission noisy in 3rd and 4th gear. I didn't measure runout on the bell housing, though that would've been a good idea.
You skipped most of the install. Which bell housing bolts...
The kit came with all the hardware, if I recall correctly.
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
I'm sorry. I meant reverse lights, NOT brake lights. For tips on installing in an S550, call Modern Driveline 208.453.9800
I always wondered how this was done. Thanks.
Glad to help!
im really debating if i should rebuild my MT82 or just tremec swap it. i got a '22 mustang gt and this trans is just awful for someone like me who likes to drive fast and bang through gears.
I really like the MT82 with a good shifter. Get a shifter that attaches t the trans like an MGW.
@@Mustang-Geek ive heard people say thats a good fix. mount it to the trans, get a short throw, new clutch, and other little bits and its pretty much fixed. ill try that out, thanks mate
@@novoice9286 Certainly cheaper!
Anything for S550 mustangs?
You mean from Tremec? As far as I know, Tremec doesn't make a Magnum XL for S550 yet.
I’ve seen a few s550 with this one
@@nozopoke1782 Looks like Modern Driveline and a few other companies have made kits for S550. Seems like Tremec's website is just outdated.
