There are a couple of companies that may in line shifters for the T56 and the tr6060 trans around the same price point.
The problem is they are only inline shifter devices only, and not making the trans a true "Sequential transmission" instead.
Hence with the in line shifter device only, your still having to go after the clutch every shift on changes, while a true Sequential transmission, the only time you need to use the clutch is to get you going, or in the case of need to clutch slip or clutch disengage during a rapid decent on a few gear bang down isntead (without over rev'g the motor on say a 5th to 2 gear bang down at the end of a straight into the corner setting up for the hard push out the apex in then end).
Also, although you do have a inline shift device at hand for faster shifts say over all (questionable, depending on how many gears you need to get down), without the trans being a Sequential transmission, you are still at the mercy of waiting for the synco's to work correctly on the gear shift engagements each shift; with just trying force/ sling shot through the gears tearing up/wearing out the syncro's quickly in the trans isntead.
And yes, straight cut gears are loud, but needed for their strength when you are banging up or down instead.

Here's another sequential shifter. http://www.s1sequential.com/
The cheapest option is to have the gears faceplated, http://libertysgears.com/services/fa...modifications/. Still not a sequential trans but you can shifter it without the clutch. Liberty Gears is an option for faceplating but I don't see the TR6060 on their list, http://libertysgears.com/our-products/tremec/. But I'm sure you could send them your trans.
The PPG gear set is about $10k and companies charge as much as $24k installed.
The sequential trans, EMCO, in the southern speed car is $25-30k and the max torque is questionable.

You again.
The disclaimer is there for the same reason that you can't buy a non-synchronization Tranzilla from RSgear any more. Mike Weinberg the owner of RS Gear told me people don't know how to shift them and they're breaking. There are dozens for videos showing shifts without using the clutch. Look it up.
Congratulations, you have almost 5000 posts in 4 years.
