Default Transmission.

Anyone know if the early C6 Z06 T56 (before they switched to the tr6060) will fit into the C5 without needing the newer c6 diff that went with the tr6060?

The TR6060, from Tremec, was the next iteration of transmission. Not sure exactly what they improved/upgraded, however, it's one step up from prior.

Personally, in my C5, I had RPM Transmissions build the T-56 at level V. This was far stronger.

OP sorry I do not know the answer.

It won't just bolt in but will need a lot of work to make it work.

The main shaft along with modified C5 tail housing will be needed. Not worth it unless you are doing the conversion yourself.
