2010 SS TR6060 into 4th Gen FBody (PICS)
#42
Finally got time to head out to the shop to work on it a bit...
The yoke I ordered is the correct OD. 1350 31 spline yoke on left, TH400 yoke on right.
New SSR tailhousing on left, TR6060 tailhousing on right.
Swapped out the cluster from the 6060 tailhousing to the SSR tailhousing:
Swapped out sensors from the 6060 tailhousing to the SSR tailhousing:
Test fit new yoke with the new SSR tailhousing in:
Made a rod for the shift rail linkage:
Connected to the T56 shifter lever:
Measured everything again, and it's actually 31" from the bellhousing to the shifter stub, so overall this tranny is 1 1/2 longer than a T56, and puts the shifter 1 1/2" further back from the original location.
All that's left to do is order a seal for the tailhousing since it didn't come with one. Mill the shifter base down .430", and cut the mainshaft. I still need to measure how much we will be cutting, but from what I see it will be around 2".

If you didn't go to the Magnum mainshaft, could you have used a F-body T56 tailshaft housing? If so, what would you have had to do to make a F-body shifter work?

No, in order to use another tail housing (either T56 or SSR), then you have to swap mainshafts since the stock 6060 mainshaft is much shorter and doesn't have enough spline to use a slip yoke style driveshaft. Plus on top of that, the stock mainshaft incorporates a different style driveshaft (not slip yoke like 4th gens).

If you use this shifter, then you wouldn't have to do any conversion, but would have to use a non slip yoke driveshaft like the 5th gens, and it would move the shifter up significantly over stock.

Have you done any mockup/measurements of the integrated bellhousing into your tunnel? I believe the 2010+ camaro bellhousing is not only longer, but wider than a standard T56 bell.
Along similar lines, has anyone used the RSG SFI replacement bell/plate for the 2010+ camaro TR6060 ?

I saw the bell/plate at SEMA... looks good, probably real pricy though.

One of the great transmission is the Getrag V160 from the Turbo Supras. It has an integrated bellhousing which really limits the use of that transmission for other applications.
I would also like to ad that the new CTSV TR6060 has a deeper bellhousing and longer input shaft to accommodate the stock dual disk clutch.

Is there any reason you cant use an SSR output, tailhousing, and slip yoke on the TR6060?
Seems like that would be easier than a viper shaft and about the same cost if you are starting with nothing other than a 6060.

^^^ Latest updates are with me using a SSR tailhousing instead of the T56 tailhousing with a 1350 31 spline slip yoke. You can't use a SSR mainshaft as the bearing and synchro spacing is all different from the 6060. Not using a viper mainshaft, I am using a T56 magnum mainshaft.
