TR6060 Questions

[classix_stang289]

Let me start by saying YES I searched the forum for my questions with no luck


I just recently bought a TR6060 from Paul(againstallodds1, thanks again for the deal) and its a TUET5800 older version. My question is does anyone who got the TR6060 for there GT's get a TUET5800 version and upgrade to the TUET8175 B? How would I go about upgrading mine? Is it a ford dealer only thing or would a place like D&D have the part to perform the upgrade? My goal is to perform this upgrade and have the gears polished. I also see people do not use the reverse lockout and also remove a rod to make it shift better, is this true? I need some guidance


I believe the only part that gets upgraded to be recognised as a TUET8175 B is the input shaft, the splines I believe get slightly enlarged and the input shaft is highly polished. Am I correct on this part?

yup, I think I was the first to at least in forums to removing the reverse lockout bar.

Had gears polished myself and a friend assist with rebuild ( I had a horrible disagreement with a clutch with too much metal welding to my flywheel ). Can order different gears through TREMEC.

So the input shaft is really the only upgraded part to make the trans known as a "TUET8175 B"? Can be purchased from Tremec as well? Any idea on pricing for this upgrade? Who would you trust to polish these gears?

AFAIK the input shaft is the only difference. Liberty gear is well known for making 6060 transmissions be the best they can be.
