ok lets look at what we know

2009 camaro. iedepend suspension. shifter looks futher forward then 4th gen. two peice drive shaft.

here i aint going to argue.

i know the new tremec ls1f-body repalce meant bolts right in. i can use my shifter/ everything. and it is 2700 for a built trany that is pretty much better then a viper upgraded t56.

go a head and spend half. 1350. then replace what is broke. and mod it to fit.

i will buy mine and just bolt it strait in.

The T-6060 should work with an LS1 F-body as long as you get a matching flywheel and disc, since it is being put on the LS3s in the new Camaro and Corvette. And if not, who really cares? The T-56 is more than perfectly fine!

I don't know of anyone personally that's opened up a T6060, so I can only speculate. I've even spent a few weeks with Tremec and dealers trying to get manuals on them, without success.

I can imagine some of the same issues with the T56, being there on the T6060 (worn fork pads, broken synchro keys, etc.) so that while having a higher initial power rating, it still won't offset the need for being rebuilt stronger.

I've seen plenty of "800hp" viper T56s get taken out by a broken synchro key. The T6060 will be a nice option for swappers, but I don't see it as a panacea. You can still buy brand new GTO T56s for $2000+, but it won't be as good as a rebuilt unit with all the extras, for less $...

My $0.02

I called D&D today and they have them now! just got them in this week.
Sounds like the trans to buy if you haven't already bought a T56.

One thing I really like was it comes with both mechanical and electronic speedo outputs!

You do know that thesource is also a Tremec dealer too right? He is also far more helpful and honest than D&D. I called D&D 3 times about buying crossmember brackets for my TR6060 swap into my '95 Mustang (I'm the one who started the thread on Corral) and they gave me different answers each time. D&D also isn't on the forums like thesource is. thesource also quoted me cheaper prices on parts for my TKO-600 than D&D and Liberty did.

Support those who support the forums!
