Gripping the shifter with authority and throwing perfect shifts brings satisfaction that automatic-transmission drivers will never know.
And TREMEC is proud to support those who shift their own gears by presenting the biannual TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout. This Shootout is held in conjunction with the Nitto Tire Spring Break Shootout presented by Steeda Autosports in Bradenton, Florida.
It’s that time again! Time for the Spring Edition of the 2018 TREMEC Stick Shift Shootout!

The SEMA Show is the largest automotive trade show in the world. Companies in the specialty-car industry, car builders, company sales reps and media gather each year in early November to show off new wares, discuss products and bring people up to speed on the state of the automotive aftermarket.
In recent years, the Las Vegas event has also become a showcase of spectacular car and truck builds that show off manufacturers’ products.
A common factor with many of the stunning vehicles that make appearances at the SEMA Show is that they are equipped with TREMEC manual transmissions, from the venerable T-5 to the awesome might of the Magnum 6-speed.
Here are some of the coolest rides we saw at SEMA 2017 that were #TREMECequipped. Read More “TREMEC-Equipped Cars of the 2017 SEMA Show”
TREMEC strives to have open lines of communication between its distributors who sell our motorsport and aftermarket products and the TREMEC team who designs and builds them.

We brought distributor reps to our facility so that they could spend time with the TREMEC employees and to see our vertically integrated manufacturing process– where raw materials come in one door, and final product goes out the other.

(UPDATED FOR 2018) The manual transmission has inched closer and closer to the endangered-options list for new cars. But fans of the manual transmission can rejoice: Recently, manual transmissions have been trending! Manufacturers have been making it possible to get a stick shift in more new models.
And it’s not limited to wheezing four-cylinders that don’t have enough power to spin an automatic. There are mid-range options with a manual transmission that can be very appealing. Read More “New Cars Available with a Manual Transmission”

This gave the driver ultimate control, choosing which gear the vehicle would be in and precisely when to shift, or when not to shift.
