I have a t56 in my 01 TA. I swapped one into my 89 TA. I'm working on swapping f-body t56s into my 69 Firebird and 68 Camaro.

I'm using them because they are stong and I was able to get them much cheaper than any aftermarket trans.

I have a close ratio t56 Magnum for my 67 Firebird.

I like the gear spread and OD ratios of the f-body t56. I thought it was a little odd that Tremec used the shorter ODs in the close ratio Magnum, and the tall ODs in the wide ratio Magnum when the GM t56s and TR6060s are the other way around.

I was hoping to buy a cheap Vette TR6060 and convert it into a Magnum, but it's basically not possible to get one cheap enough to be worth the effort. They are actually a reasonable price for a brand new 6 speed that can handle the power they do.

I have no desire for a 5 speed, but I'd consider a TKO-600 as an easy direct swap into a 4 speed car, if I didn't want to go to the trouble of swapping in a t56.
