Built T56 or New TR6060
My 07 Z is starting to show signs of a tranny replacement. What do you guys think will be better? A semi built T56 from someone like RPM or RK OR a fresh 08+ TR6060? Either one will have the added tranny brace.
I am putting down a solid 500whp and I like to feel all the ponies and maybe the occasional drag strip.

Basically same 6060 tranny, different ratios. Clutch is completely different.

Hi gang. This is my first post. 07 Z06 with a T-56 17,300 mi. Suffered catastrophic transmission failure. 5th gear was worn down to little nubs. Out of warranty and I'm one unhappy camper hoping GM will assist. Dealer recommending replacing entire unit. Should I request/demand a Tr6060? Should I look aftermarket? This is a weekend driver car all stock except for K&n intake and a chip. Is the 6060 an upgrade? Will I need to replace the clutch if I change? Thanks.

6060 is an upgrade. Make sure to flush the lines and radiator or replace them.

But, give it a try...all they can say is no....good luck. If you have to go it alone I would trade the in 56 for a 6060....

Rick, so if I sent in my T56 from my z6 c06, how much to get it all done up nicely.

That seems like just a rebuilt t56. I wanted to know to convert it to a 6060 with all the good options. I don't need different gearing, I like the current gearing but just want the strongest parts.
