[QUOTE="Tob, post: 14134476, member: 83412"] Paul, the direct answer to your initial question isn't a simple yes or no. There are T56 Magnum XL six speed swap kits offered by companies such as JPC, American Powertrain, etc. A cursory review of what each firm offers shows pricing somewhere in the neighborhood of $4,500 when including the clutch, driveshaft, etc. You wouldn't be able to use the GT500's CF shaft because the Magnum XL uses a slip yoke output shaft design as opposed to a fixed flange design on the TR6060. Nice transmission though.:) You could swap in a GT500 TR6060. Ford Racing does just that on their Boss 302S models. Here's a couple of photos I posted earlier. [ATTACH=full]572341[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]572342[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]572343[/ATTACH] They used (essentially) the '13/'14 GT500 TR6060, complete with a factory fixed flange, slave cylinder, etc, and were able to directly bolt in the CF shaft.
