2010 SS TR6060 into 4th Gen FBody (PICS)
#62
^^^ No problem, if anyone needs any more info or help feel free to PM me or post in here.
TRANNY IS DONE!!! Shifts like butter, I've never felt any other tranny this smooth!! Super excited to get my car done now to see how well it shifts in upper RPM.
Sealed everything and it's ready to go. For the VSS gear, instead of milling grooves on the mainshaft we just tack welded the gear on to the mainshaft. Mainshaft was cut 2". Forgot to take more pics. Here's some of when we milled the shifter pad down.

cool nice end mill if thats what it's called.. I'd like to have one of those. Any pics of the main shaft wiht the gear tacked on and shaft cut? How did the clutch fit up, did you use the LS1 flywheel and clutch? And the 2010 camaro slave cylender?

Also, found some push on AN fittings that go into the case so we don't have to weld them on. Now need to order some -6AN hose and fittings, and a cooler.

I think the difference in lengh is jsut were you put the pilot bearing, you can use the small needle bearing pilot about 7/8" in the deepest whole for long intpout shafts, or the 1 1/4" ? ball bearing pilot in the closest step portion of the crank, you can use the large pilot with a F-body T-56 if you use a 3/8" transmision to bellhouisn spacer, there are also salve shims if need to bring the slave back into allignment.
I beleave the SSR uses the larger pilot bearin thats why the bellhousing is so much longer? I belave the CTS-V does as well.

Yea that.. I couldn't get my hand, between the tunnel and the stock one on my 94 Z28, when I was checking for oil leaks!

Jelous looks like a stout trans. What style pilot bearing does the LS3 use? small needle, or large ball-bearing?

I think to make this swap more generic, you'll need to come up with a different way to secure the VSS wheel. If you throw up some pics, I/We might be able to offer some suggestions.
We also need to have someone with deep pockets, try this on a T56 Magnum. Should be a simple follow-on, but will close the loop on making these F-body Magnum hybrids.
Documenting the work/parts needed to update a stock F-body tail housing will also help future DIY'ers decide what's best for them considering the machinework/costs/strength/etc between the 2 tail options. (Stock F-body vs SSR)

Not to sound condecending, but if you don't open up to other ideas, you may think there's no way around it. What's the diameter of the shaft where the wheel has to ride? I hone a CTSv wheel to use on the 32spline T56 for an inference fit. The same or similar may work here?

interesting. whats the total cost ?
how much hp will you be pushing?
i was looking at the bell housing and its mated to the front case. is it detachable?
what are the advantages of running the newer slave cylinder set up besides the quick disconnect an hoses
id like to see video of putting this to the test.

The motor is built to handle 1200whp.
You are correct, the bell-housing is attached to the front case. The case/bell-housing is detachable, however the bell-housing by itself is not.
I am not really sure if there is anything better about these slaves than the 01-02 slaves, but I assume they are engineered better. This slave is required for the conversion anyways, since the length of the input shaft on the T56 and TR6060 are different (6060 input shaft is longer).

Welding, even tacking, on a mainshaft isn't ideal for anyone. (Especially for the next person to rebuild it.. ;-) )
