Tr606

I have a tr6060 trans only nothing else low mileage $1400 plus shipping

 

[roberts]

ill keep u in mind fake thinking of a magnum first

 

[Dubstep Shep]

I doubt anyone is going to have a used magnum for sale. They're in high demand.

DOB is working on a non remote shifter setup for the TR-6060. That puts it on the same level as the Magnum XL

 

[roberts]

yea i dont think anybody is going to sell there magnum so i guess that means ill be calling jpc next week ugh 5,000 for a trans is gonna suck would rather buy a used one but all well!

bump

I went with a TR-6060 and I'm waiting on the DOB shifter. Basically the T-56 and the TR-6060 are the same transmission.

 

[roberts]

yea but i believe the t-56 will be better and really wont have to upgrade later down the road.

Out of curiosity, why do you think the T-56 is better?

 

[roberts]

i kept reading that evently u will have to do these upgrads synchros and micropolished gears. for a tr6060

 

[Dubstep Shep]

Maybe if you're running more than 700hp. But the T-56 is only rated for 750 last time I checked.

If you're under 700 you're probably fine with a 6060. Those things are built pretty damn well.

 

[roberts]

well im going to be right at 700. and next year i may go up with stage 2 heads and turbo cams.

 

[Dubstep Shep]

I'm going to be at 700 as well with my 6060. Thing is, for the same price as a T-56, I can buy a 6060 and have it built for over 1000hp. Cost effective wise the 6060 is a better option in my book.

 

[roberts]

6060 i can get a trans for $1400 plus shipping, 1 peace ds $790, Clutch $1,400, braided clutch line $70, Flywheel $370 cross memer $70 shifter barton $400
plus : Adjustable Hydraulic Throwout Bearing/Slave Cylinder $360
Total: $4,860 not counting shipping on everything.

Would save me 240$
vs a brand new t-56

 

[Dubstep Shep]

Wow those prices are WAY over the top. Good deal on the 6060 though.

I wouldn't get a one piece driveshaft, but that's my opinion. I didn't. I picked up a used GT500 shaft for $120.

What clutch are you buying for $1,400?! I got a McLeod RXT twin disk AND a flywheel for like $1,200 brand new.

I paid $60 for my stainless clutch line from American Muscle before the forum discount.

I paid $60 for the 6060 crossmember, so that's not bad at all.

I bought an OEM shifter simply because I'm upgrading to the DOB later. I think I paid like $60 for it.

I wouldn't get an adjustable throwout bearing/slave cylinder. They're a pain from what I've heard, and you don't need one with the McLeod RXT twin disk. I picked up the Exedy replacement on American muscle for $180. That's before the 6% forum discount.

Total I spent
$1,600 for transmission
$120 for driveshaft
$1,200 for clutch and flywheel
$60 for clutch line
$60 for shifter
$180 for bearing
So my total was $3,220, which is almost two grand less than the T-56 kit.

well way i think of it is i only wanna deal with the trans issue once so i might as well get 1 peace ds to save weight. and where u get that price for a rxt? with the flywheel?

Check with the site vendors. I got mine on a sale, but you can probably haggle them down lol.

 

[roberts]

Yea I'll try

If your track is picky, the 6060 can get you booted if you run 11.49 or quicker as it doesn't have an SFI approved bellhousing.
That's the thing that is keeping me from pulling the trigger on one.

Really? That's not something I'd ever heard of, especially considering a GT500 isn't too far off from that from the factory.
