Default Another TR6060 Swap

Hey guys, new to the forums. Blew the T56 in my 03z and going to undergo the process of swapping in a rebuilt TR6060 I ordered from these guys, https://reman-transmission.com/trans...s/?code=TR6060. Talked with them on the phone and sounded like good people plus the price was in my range. Think I'm going to try the diff machining method since I have a guy locally that's great for that kind of stuff. Any advice going forward on anything I should look out for would be appreciated

Welcome to the forum. The TR6060 is a good transmission. Don't really have any advice on the install though. I likely would have gone with a stage 3 or stage 5 RPM transmission, but the TR6060 should be able to hold up a little bit better than the stock 4L60E.

I'm currently having some problems with my 6-speed and I'm weighing all options. I'm curious, what is the primary use of your Z and what kind of power levels are you making? There's a wide variety of solutions out there for our T56s from RPM, Tick and even local rebuilds. Unless you're drag racing with gargantuan power numbers a properly optioned T56 should handle just about anything you can throw at it and it's a "simple" remove and replace.

Any reason you chose not to use RPM or RKT?? Both are experts in the conversion, both are forum vendors, they sell the needed off set mounts you need and tech help

Good luck with your conversion. The suggestion to check several other vendors is a good one. Don't know much about Reman Transmissions, but it sure can't hurt to check out the others that were recommended.
