Yeah I had some issues with the six speed install on my BBC in my 04 silverado. And was trying to get some info. I bought a mcleod ls1 t56 to BBC SBC scattershield. And a mcleod twin disc with flywheel etc. The stock ls1 bellhousing is 5.5" the mcleod one is 5.750" and the quicktime one is 5.950" from where the trans mounts to the bellhousing to the back of the block. So I am trying to find out the correct depth of all the parts.

If i bolted the trans to the scattershield the engine and trans would not turn over. If I loosened the bolts the then trans with push itself out .020" and then the engine and trans would turn over. So since time was a limiting factor and it was a sunday I was fighting with this stuff. I ended up putting 8 .100" washers between the trans and the scattershield. and for the brief period of a day i was able to drive it, it seemed to drive right and had the correct clutch feel. But I want to double check it and make sure it is right. Especially after seeing the difference in measurement on the quicktime one.

If that makes any sense. But of course I flew back to korea the next day and figured I would email them to verify everything and of course they have no email listed on their website. And calling from here is a pita on top of the delay from when i speak til when they hear it and the return is the same.

On another note how much to build a ls1 t56 with all six gears face plated and all the upgrades? email because i think quoting on the forum is a NO NO

Any application other than drag racing, the TR will be your choice. They shift with almost no effort compared to T56's.

Cool thanks

So you're putting the mainshafts, gears, synchros, countershafts, and all the 6060 internals in a T56 case?
Seeing how expensive simple replacement internal parts are as well as how difficult to get, I sure would like to know how you pull that one off at that price unless you're simply building a 6060 and changing housings and such to accommodate the older stuff.

^^^^ how much just for the Zr1 gears?

also you guys talk about all this stuff. but in the end. i still think the magnum will be better and last longer than t56.

new is always better than old

and yes i will say you miss a shift it will mess up your gears. but just dont miss. lol.

Mike, you need to be more specific on what you are selling. Is this for F body or Corvette applications? What year vehicles? Do you take the old T56's as cores and buy the T56 with TR6060 guts?

Hi, I may have mis understood what you ment by ZR1 gears...you can not install just TR6060 ZR1 gears in your T56...but you can change your gear ratio's but that would not help very much, just alittle...I agree, the magnum is stronger than a T56...but our Change-over packages are even a better choice...and much better price over-all....

So Bret, what upgrades do you have in you're TR6060..??

Big_Bird_WS6

iTrader: (7)

sorry, but running the Zr1 gears will make the trany last longer. with the smaller gear numbers there is more teeth contact at one givin time then with anyone the other guys.

RPM rates there f-body 6060 (with f-body gears) at 1200 ish,
and there ZR1 kit, they said they have guys over 1500(it is in old t56 housings, but new gears) so the ZR1 gears in the 6060 should easly hold 1500 also.

etiher way i hope by april i got 1200 going through mine and shoow you all what they can hold.

BTW Mine was built by RPM and they did a great job. i have 2 from them. both great looking ans smoth shifting tranys

No thats fine, I may have mis understood what you ment...and you are correct, lower the ratio the smaller the gear teeth, so they are much weaker than a taller gear ratio with much bigger teeth...They do a good job with smooth shifting...

Call me sometime when you have a few minutes to talk, I would love to here about your car...

You better have a lot of gear in the rear end or a lot of low end torque to use that 2.29 first gear.

So the swap for the Corvette is an TR6060 modified to be a bolt on application? Essentially it's a TR6060 with a different tailshaft housing and 27 output shaft, correct? You do know the 08 and up TR6060 is a direct bolt on for the 06-07 Z06 T56's without any modifications, right?

I saw somewhere that the new boss302 tranny is going to be a close ratio 6speed with a 1 to 1 5th? Is this a variant of one of these trannies or something completely different?

These are the gear ratios:
2012 Boss 302
Gear ratios
1st - 3.66
2nd - 2.43
3rd - 1.69
4th - 1.32
5th - 1.00
6th - 0.65

I know richmonds tend to do wierd gearing like that not sure the benefit.

the22driver

First gear is pretty much useless but for road racing those closer 3/4 gears would give some nice options. Don't like the idea of going to 5th but it seems like a good trade

That's like the 1000hp Vette I'm working on here that has M12 gearing and 3.90's. You can't even shift fast enough. It sucks! I like the ZR1 gearing. Tall 1st and shorter 5th and 6th.
