Default UPDATE/REPLACE your trans with a NEW GM 2012 Z06 TR6060, $3500 installed.............

Don't see many of the C6Z transmissions failing, but wanted to provide a solution if needed.

2012 Z06 TR6060 available new from GM, $3500 installed


I will be using Kevin at www.partstaxi.com(GM dealer in Delaware) to supply the Z06 trans, these are not rebuilt or surplus, no drama.

Steve

To get things moving, I will install a new GM TR6060 Z06 trans for $2000 with your "functional" Z06 T56 in trade

I have some local Supercharged C5's looking to upgrade to the C6Z 30 spline trans and diff

Again, these are NEW GM TR6060's; I will put you in direct contact with the GM dealer

Good deal!

I remember paying $1800 for a remanufactured unit (C4 generation, but I purchased the aftermarket trans in 2006) - and I had to do the removal/install/lines/fluid myself.

ZR1 TR6060's also available, $4500 installed, NEW GM, NO CORE, NO DRAMA

This trans is from RKT56.com, along with the 2012 Z06 diff, they were installed in a 2005(base car) that suffered diff failure

2006/2007 owners, find out exactly what you can do before you upgrade your T56; compare the benefits to the NEW GM 2012 TR6060 Z06 trans

Better to start new with the 6060 in handling power and shift quality

What would be the advantage to upgrading from my T56 to 6060? What else would need to be done to my car?

If your 56 is not broken, or you don't plan on increasing power, let it be. The new 6060 replacement would be a more cost effective option than having your T56 rebuilt if it were to fail.

I can install a new GM Z06 TR6060 for $2g with your T56 in trade; the way I look at it, it's better to replace your trans while it's 'not broken' then to be forced to have it rebuilt/replaced and not have the T56 as an 'asset' for sale or trade

Another huge benefit would be shifting quality, ask any 2006/2007(T56) owner that has driven a 2008 newer(TR6060) car, they are astonished with the improvement.

So 2007 and older Z06's have the T56 and 2008 and newer get the TR6060? I'm looking for a Z06 to buy and don't know all the history.

I've rebuilt / upgraded a T56 in my 4th gen Camaro. But always heard the TR6060 was way better / stronger.
