Hi everyone, i am looking to put a TR6060 on my supercharged ly6 engine. The problem is that the trans that someone has locally for sale states that it is only for the lsa or lsx with 8 bolt crankshaft. Mine has 6 bolts. Im wondering if all i have to do is swap flywheels or if the input shaft is different in some way that wont let it work with the 6 bolt crank. Below is a link to the transmission i am looking at and another that says it is for a camaro. Thanks

You can run it.... but remember that driveshaft is around $1,000 to make (CV style), the shifter will take some adapting (time/modifying), the bellhousing isn't removable (if you need an SFi steel one).

If that is the LSA style TR6060 it has the preferred 2.66 gearing.

Just run the standard 6 bolt flywheel and you will be fine.

What car is this going into?

This will be going in to a 57 chevy nomad behind a lsa supercharged ly6. The TR6060 that is for sale looks to be rated for 500 torque and i will be around 600 so that may be a bad combination. I was not wanting to spend 5k+ for a transmission but i also dont want to be blowing transmissions.

A brand new Magnum is nowhere near $5k and probably more user friendly for a swap.

Brand new Magnum is around $3200....wouldnt even contemplate a T56 at that price ( are they even still available new ? )

Thanks for the replies. They call the new trans they sale for the aftermarket a t56 magnum and it is rated at 700 lb/ft of torque. Uses the internals of the tr6060 plus some other magic. This is a perfect trans for me but by the time i buy a bell housing, clutch, shifter and whatever other little things i need it will be over 5k from what i have seen. The tr6060 had everything and was 2500 so that was why i was inquiring about it. Does anyone have recommendations on a good street able clutch that can handle 600hp and also a bell housing/ scatter shield? I guess i will start looking for a t56 magnum.

Tr6060 internals with similar output style to a T56 and three usable shifter locations. It shares 0 in common with a garden T56. As in not one single part.

stevieturbo

Yep, not one single part of a Magnum is T56.

Just because some vendors will re-use the T56 name to keep simple people happy and to be less confusing for them...doesnt alter the fact a T56 is in now way whatsoever a Magnum, or visa versa.

Says the sucker that buys into marketing. It's just a beefier T56 dude.

That's kinda like calling my duramax 2500hd a beefy 1500. It's different dude.

stevieturbo

It's really just an uprated T5....

A T56 Magnum is a generically packaged TR6060 designed to fit several applications but requiring some modifications to do so. As for the comment about not one single part interchanges between a Magnum and a basic T56, that is not true. There are things like fork pad inserts and some of the bearings are the same as well as the front seal.
