I'm looking to put a TR6060 behind my LS1 build. I do not care about the shifter location or tail housing - this is for a non-gm swap project and I have flexibility to modify the driveshaft and shifter linkage to make it work. I had a few questions regarding clutch parts compatibility.

-Will the TR6060 bell housing bolt up to the block?
-Will a 12" clutch (a'la Monster Stg 2) fit?
-What pilot bearing do I need? Needle style or larger sealed roller style?
-Can I use the T56 throwout bearing or will I need one from a TR6060? Concerned about getting the correct stack height for proper clutch disengagement here, wasn't sure if there were any differences.

Thanks for any info you guys can provide.

As an aside, I have a T56 for sale. Good working order to my knowledge (I've never had it running, bought it as a dropout with the engine), 38k miles out of an 02 TA if anyone is interested.

TickPerformance makes a TR6060 that is a direct built up to LS1s. It's a bout $5k though. I'm sure you could speak with them about sending in your TR6060 if you already have it and have them modify it to work with the LS1 instead of buying a new trans.

 

I don't need the main shaft / tail housing conversion to be compatible with the F-body slip-yolk driveshafts / shifter location. I'm also not spending $5k on a transmission.

All I'm asking about is whether or not the bell housings have the same bolt pattern and if I need to change any clutch parts.

I emailed Tick, waiting to hear back.

 

Will the TR6060 bell housing bolt up to the block? = Yes
-Will a 12" clutch (a'la Monster Stg 2) fit? = Yes
-What pilot bearing do I need? Needle style or larger sealed roller style? = You need the larger sealed roller bearing
-Can I use the T56 throwout bearing or will I need one from a TR6060? = You will need to use the TOB from the TR6060 that you start with. If you are planning to use a 5th gen camaro transmission then you need to use the matching slave/TOB
