Default Tick Performance TR-6060 Direct Bolt in for Fbody -- OVER 900rwtq


Have a 98-02 Camaro or Trans am and make BIG power? So much so that you can't find a transmission that is warrantied against failure for 12 months with no mileage restriction? Welcome to Tick Performance!

Once you exceed 750rwtq, you make more power than a traditional T56 transmission can reliably hold. Thanks to Tremec and Tick Performance, there is another option! In an effort to make their new TR-6060 transmission less OEM-specific and more useable for swap applications, Tremec created the T56 Magnum, which combined the easy swapability of the older T-56 with the improved design of the new TR-6060. With our Level 5 SUPER Magnum TR-6060 Conversion, Tick Performance offers you a direct bolt-in to your 98-02 Camaro or Firebird/Trans Am that will safely support OVER 900RWTQ - guaranteed! Some benefits you'll enjoy over a standard T56 transmission include:

The ability to choose between 2.66 and 2.97 gearsets
Triple-cone synchronizers on 1-4 gears, along with double-cone synchronizers on Fifth, Sixth and Reverse
Wider, two-piece laser beam-welded speed gears which feature built-in positive stops to virtually eliminate the possibility of "overthrown" shifts
Much stronger one-piece countershaft that resists distortion far better than previous designs and uses larger bearings in all critical support areas for increased stability
Input Shaft features additional material throughout the length of the shaft, increased face width, a larger input bearing, and generously long splines to accommodate twin-disc clutch setups
Considerably narrower synchronizers that feature fine-pitch tooth angles to effectively decrease the amount of travel necessary for engagement
Redesigned shift forks featuring integrated "shift keys" to virtually eliminate the possibility of bending shift forks
Added cross-sectional material on shift forks for increased rigidity and larger shift pads to promote better wear characteristics


When you place your order, we completely tear down the factory T56 Magnum and begin our upgrades that we perform in house. Those upgrades include:

Modifying miscellaneous components to make this a 100% bolt-in to your LS1 F-Body
Installing Carbon Blocker Rings on first, third and fourth gears (second gear is already carbon)
Upgrading all fork pads from plastic to bronze
Cryogenic Treatment of All Transmission Internals
REM Polishing of All Transmission Internals
End-play set to our custom specifications
Professional Reassembly done 100% by hand


Once we finish with your Tick Performance Level 5 SUPER Magnum TR-6060 Conversion, you'll be able to reuse your stock bellhousing, shifter and all of your stock accessories; it is truly a 100% bolt-in. We include a custom 31 spline yoke that enables you to re-use your stock length driveshaft, as well. We also provide you with a new vehicle speed sensor, reverse lockout solenoid and reverse light switch.

Once your new transmission is installed, contact us about buying your stock T56 core. We rebuild them and we're always looking for cores, so you may be able to recoup some of your investment immediately!

This transmission is designed for 98-02 Camaro or Firebird with LS engines only. It will fit into 93-97 Camaro or Firebird with LT1 engines, but will require additional parts for proper function.

We also offer a Magum TR-6060 Level 4 that is rated for torque levels up to 900rwtq!!!

So if I pick up the phone and order this does it come with the shipping container for that money? I've been down this road before buying a transmission.

Even though Chris listed this as fitting f-bodies, it will also work for 04-06 GTO's as well with one simple change. The price remains the same! http://www.tickperformance.com/2004-2006-gto/

With the GTO, you will be required to purchase a custom driveshaft. For f-body guys, you can technically use your stock shaft but if you need a transmission of this nature you probably are going to want a better driveshaft as well. Let us know and we'd be glad to combine a new PST driveshaft for an added savings.

GTO guys will need a u-bolt style rear yoke from G-force 1320.

We will pay TOP dollar for your core t56. You could receive a refund of up to $1000 for your core and we'll cover the shipping to get it here. All you have to do is pack it up and call UPS for a pickup.

Once it arrives we'll tear it down for inspection. If its in perfect order with nothing but normal wear you'll receive a $1000 refund. Lets say everything looks good inside, but your pilot bearing failed at some point which trashed the tip of the input. In that case you would receive a refund of $770.01 because the price of a new input is $229.99.

No matter how bad the t-56 core is we will give you $400 minimum and cover the shipping to us!

Sending in a good working t56 as your core can make the price of our totally new t-56 magnum / TR6060 less than other companies "converted" t56 to tr6060 builds which require your core!!!

Wish I had known you all sold the bronze fork pads for 6060s before I did my conversion. I guess next time I crack it open (hopefully not soon) I'll give you all a call to replace the stock plastic ones.

Will this still use a stock f-body shifter? Like I have the b&m ripper? Still good?

These transmissions sound good. Do you have anyone running these now in a high powered turbo set up?

Not to sure about a turbo setup but we do have a guy that makes over 900rwtq on a ls3 based F1-R procharger with this trans in it. It runs mid 9's @ 149mph!

Thanks for the update Chris. How many passes does he have on the trans? Does he run an external pump on it? Was the F3R setup on a slick or radial? It will be interesting to see how long these last or how well they hold up under heavy abuse at the track from the high powered set ups.

Can you do a faceplated version of this with M12 ratios? The car currently makes 1111rwtq to the tires and we're bumping the shot an additional 175.

This is for our performance shop obviously.
