So I’m planning on overhauling the tired drivetrain in my 200k+ mile ‘07 and I’m having a hard time deciding what route to take when it comes to the transmission.
I’m between 3 options, another TR3650, a TR6060, or a T56 Magnum. Nowadays, it’s pretty tough to find either of these used in general, let alone in good condition and I’m trying to be as cost effective as possible. The T56 is the only one that can still be bought new but I’d like to avoid spending $5k on just the transmission if I can.
TR3650’s are tough to find in good condition and even if they are, it’s still a crappy transmission and I would like an upgrade. The TR6060 seems like a pretty common swap that people have lots of good things to say about it. To my knowledge, in order for it to be a direct swap it would have to be one out of an 07-14 GT500 which again, is pretty tough to find. The T56 is also promising but the Magnum XL is the only one that’s a direct swap and the most expensive option, also impossible to find unless new. I’ve seen bell housing adapters that allow you to bolt up any T56 magnum to the mod motors but haven’t heard much about them. This would probably be the easiest option since there’s plenty of T56 magnums in my area from different cars.
I’m aware I would have to get a different clutch, driveshaft, wiring etc. to run the 6060 and T56 which is already in the plans but I need to decide on a transmission before I order anything so I can get the right parts. If anyone has any info on the bell housing adapters, other things I need/missed, or any insight maybe it would ease my mind a bit and help my indecisive self decide on a transmission lol. Also if anybody is selling any transmissions feel free to post those as well.
