No reverse and first gear bogs in my tr6060 swap

[YellowRoush]

Put the new clutch and everything in my car for the TR6060 but the tr6060 has an extra sensor that my car does not. Is that a reverse lockout? Do I need to wire something up so I can go into reverse?

It is a lockout. You don't have to wire it up though. The stock shifter is beefy enough to easily push through the gate to get to reverse. An aftermarket short throw shifter usually needs the lockout wired up. Some wire it to the brakes. I put a rocker switch in when I used one.

There are a few threads dealing with the subject.

It's got a steeda tri ax.

 

[BruceH]

Are you saying it won't go into reverse and first is acting up to?

 

[YellowRoush]

Yeah no reverse and 1st is really boggy. It's easier to take off in 2nd or 3rd.
I only have 3:55s too

You need the tune adjusted for the transmission

 

[YellowRoush]

Seriously? Why?

 

[BruceH]

Can you push through the gate to get to reverse? It's all the way to the right and up.

That doesn't make much sense, I hope you get it resolved bro!

With the 6060, you need at lease 3.73 gears if NA. I am running 4.10's and love it. No tune adjustment is needed unless your speedo is off. With aftermarket shifter you need to wire up the lockout or cut the spring back 1 coil.

Try putting it into reverse with the car off?
I have the solenoid wired up in mine, and even so, once in awhile it can be a little tricky getting it all the way over and up into reverse. Wire is tapped to one of the wires coming off the brake switch (the one that is not hot at all times).

I wired my lockout into the third brake light so that i could only get into it by pressing the brake. You need a pigtail. Look for it using gm search parameters. Its really hard to find it under gt500 ones.

The bogging issue is strange. I have 3.31s and when i was n/a i dont remember having an issue like that.

I'm sure I read here that the engine needs to be retuned for the different gearing

 

[BruceH]

There is a part in the tune that affects max torque in gear. It's pretty easy to change. Just put the new ratios in and add 6th in the x or y axis (can't remember offhand).

 

[JeremyH]

+1 I had to have my torque multiplication tables adjusted in the tune, belive my tuner loaded the gt500 tables, that is most likely your issue for first gear. Your reverse issue is likely due to no lockout wired up and that aftermarket shifter its extremely hard to get into reverse like that. Stock shifter not so bad.

Thanks guys ill go ahead and do that and see if it fixes it

Can you describe boggy better ? If you turn off car and put into reverse or first will it start ? Does it grind when trying to go into 1st with car running ? Im wondering if you dont have enough air gap in the clutch and it is actually dragging, this being reason you cant go into gear.

 

[YellowRoush]

Found out that the shifter was misaligned and he was putting it in 3rd gear the whole time. But came to find out the 1st-2nd gear synchros are fucked. Nice. Can't catch a break these days. But I was wondering what you guys wired the power and ground to for the reverse lockout?

From above. It just needs a power and ground so i grounded it in the engine bay i think and ran a power wire from the third brake wire in the door sill.

Well thanks for the help guys. But I'm gonna have to replace the internals. Can anyone direct me to such a thing?
