Anyone know where to get a New TR6060 Transmission?

[69/RS]

I plan to drop in a Blown 427 in my 69 Camaro and looking for a TR6060 to handle at least 950RWHP. Anyone know where I can find a new(Not rebuilt) TR6060 tranny....at a fair price? Thanks in advance

I would assume you could probably pick one up at a dealership. But they are not really designed for that kind of power. You are MUCH better off with a T-56 Magnum or T-56 built by a trans company IMHO.

I thought about a T56 magnum.
I spoke with my cousin that had a TT Viper with 1100RWHP and he had a stock TR6060. That car was stupid fast and never had a tranny problem..Thats why I considered the TR6060.

I was told otherwise. They are syncroed differently (this is the weak point, the way/amount the teeth actually fit together), that also helps with much smoother shifts though. The bellhousing is non divorceable (means it doesn't come off). There's a company who is doing "divorce kits" for them for around $500 I think, can't remember who it is but there's alot of threads about it on ls1 tech. If you are running anything but an LS motor this will be an issue. They also don't have convetional yoke, it's setup for a flange/hub thingy rather than a U-Joint, but this can also be remedied for a $$$. I'm trying to give as much unbiased info as I can. I looked into both sides, T-56 & Tr606, b/c I had an option to buy a 6060 really cheap ~$1200 complete. But in the end the T-56 was the best choice for me. The T-56 Magnum was a better tranny but at x2 the cost I couldn't justify it, with already being over budget and quickly runnin out of funds. Still don't know how I'm gonna do my headwork .

Sorry for the novel, hope this helps.

I think this is what you are looking for... or maybe even this...

Both good choices... both based on 6060 internals.

Perhaps give RPM Transmissions a call:

http://www.rpmtransmissions.com/levelvitr6060.html

That's where I purchased mine (with a few mods as well).

I will give them a call Monday. I should be able to find what I'm looking for between both these guys.Thanks

Thank you very much for the novel.
You clarified a couple things. I definitely need to be able to separate the bell hosing from the tranny. I want to use something like a Lakewood Scatter shield or similar. I should probably call Nelson racing and see what they use since all they build is motors with crazy horse power. Its people like you that make these forums worth while from the info you provide. Thanks again.

There is a rebuilt one on Denver Craigslist right now, 719-339-2823 I talked to the guy last night and he still has it.

Thanks Kirk,
I found the AD but doesn't say anything about being rebuilt.
I contacted Rockland Standard Gear and looks like I will be following up with these guys. They said 1 to 3 days build time + shipping. I can run a card over the phone.
