tr6060 swap between t56? Ok so 2 years ago I bought a flywheel/clutch for my l96 with the intent of using a tr606, Well flash forward to now and I still have L96, clutch, flyweel etc and its going into a Chevelle instead. Except I have a t56 instead of tr6060. I figured the clutch would work but the guy is telling me that the shaft bottoms out and the trans will have to go back 1/2 inch or so to make it work?
Has anybody else here swap back in forth between the 6060 and t56. Should it work or is there enough of a deference that it will create this issue?
Please and thank you

There isn't "a TR6060," there are a lot of variations.
Same with the T56.
There are TR6060s and T56s that work with the small GTO pilot bearing. And those that work w/ the large CTS-V bearing.
Clutches vary; a slave cylinder spacer may make it work. And so on and so on.
What would help your post: A tag number (bolted to a tailhousing bolt) from the trans. you actually have, Pictures of what you have for a clutch. Posting in the manual trans. form.

Who is this "guy" telling you stuff?
If you have a F-body T56 and a F-body bell housing, you use the small pilot bearing. I am actually not aware of any T56 applications that used the larger bearing. Corvettes used the larger bearing (and maybe later TR6060 did as well), but they have a transaxle.
Pictures would help a lot. Also, what clutch and flywheel are you using?
