We are excited to announce the release of our new Carbon Edition Tremec Magnum 6-speed and TKX 5-speed upgrade packages. In the past we offered some various upgrades, but with the addition of our new in-house REM Isotropic finishing equipment we've been able to take these transmissions one step further.
The Carbon Edition package is designed to improve the transmissions ability to handle higher horsepower/torque loads and/or extreme use environments like Road Course and Auto-X racing. You will notice a much better shift feel and ability to shift at higher RPM under these heavier loads on the transmission, plus quieter operation and less vibration. You definitely don't need to be racing to take full advantage of these benefits and the Carbon Edition package is an excellent upgrade for any application where you want the best possible performance out of your new Tremec 5 or 6 speed transmission.
The Carbon Edition upgrade for the Magnum 6 speeds will include:
Upgraded carbon fiber lined blocker rings in ALL gears even reverse
Custom aerospace polymer fork pads that can withstand more heat and friction than the best brass or bronze pads will endure for a more consistent and crisp shift
Updated 2nd gear and synchronizer for longer life under harsh usage
Bowler Night Stick billet shifter. Guaranteed not to leak!
REM Isotropic finishing on all gears, main shaft, counter shaft, and shift rails
Hand fitted and shimmed reassembly by master Tremec builders
Spin tested
The Carbon Edition package for the Tremec TKX 5 speed will include:
Custom aerospace polymer fork pads that can withstand more heat and friction than the best brass or bronze pads will endure for a more consistent and crisp shift
REM Isotropic finishing on all gears, main shaft, counter shaft, and shift rails
Hand fitted and shimmed reassembly by master Tremec builders
Spin tested
We are also offering some additional options not included with the Carbon Edition package but may be of benefit to you.
Black Cerakote finish applied to the external case $450
Internally driven oil pump $995 (Magnum 6 speed only)
If you're not familiar with it, the REM Isotropic finishing process will produce a gear set with less friction, noise, vibration, and torque loss.
REM’s ISF® Process (an isotropic superfinishing process) solves these problems by reducing friction resulting in extended component life and increased fuel efficiency for gearing applications. The ISF Process creates a smooth, micro-textured surface for enhanced oil retention properties and is metallurgically safe. The ISF Process is robust and tightly controlled to preserve the geometric integrity of all common gearing types (spur, helical, spiral bevel, and even double-helical/herringbone).
Some of the benefits of the REM ISF Process:
Reduced Friction/Roughness
Increased Efficiency
Increased Resistance to Micropitting
Increased Resistance to Scuffing
Increased Pitting Resistance
Increased Resistance to Contact and Bending Fatigue
Increased Part Durability/Reduce Wear
Reduced Lubricant/System Operating Temperatures
Reduced Vibration and Noise
Increased Power Density Allowable/Component Load Carrying Capacity
Reduced Lubrication Requirements and Cost (anti-wear additives, etc.)
Eliminated Break-in/Run-in Requirement
Reduced Warranty Maintenance Costs
Increased Maintenance Intervals
