LS3's would have come from the factory with T6060 6-speeds. Depending on the application, it may not have the shifter/slip-yoke tailhousing setup you're looking for..

Are the T6060's setup like the ones from the GTO/CTSV?

at the $3k STICKER PRICE i think i will have to find a beater MN12 or t56 and send it back to tick performance and put the rest of that 1500 into a clutch pack /slave etc..and then have money for tires too...

and after seeing what those trannys cost..i guess i wont bitch about the cost of the moser 12 bolt i have...

LOL, don't shoot the messenger.. Also, Depending on your thirdgen, you may have to deal with the mechanical speedo, you have to source a T56 core, you have to repair anything wrong with that core, then you pay for the "stage2" upgrade parts to get it to the 600hp levels. I don't care either way, just giving all the facts and costs involved may be a push.

hey man its cool i appreciate the info actually... after i sell my formula i wont have T56 anymore... and i dont want to have to pay $1K for a tranny that needs to have another $1500 put into it..and then a clutch pk and slave ...but finding one that is usable for less than a grand is like finding snake nipples...
and my stage 2 from tick performance is good for 750 hp/tq
