Anyone know where to get a New TR6060 Transmission?

Perhaps give RPM Transmissions a call:

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

I did call these guys. There is only one guy there that deals with the T56's and TR6060's.He's a little difficult to get a hold of. He had a huge ego and told me he was the best tranny guy in the world. He builds all the trannys for Ford racing and a lot for Chevy but the info wasn't on the sight because it was side work or something to that manner. I just didnt get a good vibe. He was a real sweet talker too. I'm sure they do a good job though.

All I know about RPM trans is they build the Tranzilla, which is the baddest of the bad. I don't know if that's the guy you talked to or not, but he does build some awesome stuff. I think to figure out what you need you need to tell us a little more about what your doing.

If your gonna drive this thing alot on the street - I'd say consider the T-56 Magnum, or getting a divorced bellhousing TR6060 (I'll look up what shop it was that was doing that).

If the car will be seeing street/strip duty, I'd say get a built T-56 or T-56 magnum

If the car will be seeing sub 10 sec passes at the track - maybe you wanna consider a face plated T-56, it won't shift smooth on the street or sound too pretty, but it's almost unbreakable.

Like I said, it depends on what you wanna do.

Uhm, actually... Rockland Standard Gear is who builds the "Transzilla"... NOT RPM. (Your point of contact at Rockland Standard will be George Kreppin.)

If you are after a 'dog ring' gear box... both of the transmissions available from RSG and/or Keisler have that option. The gear sets from Keisler, in my opinion are much better than the welded faceplate design that the RSG Tranzilla utilizes.

However, if your after a standard synchro set up... they are both the same.

The real question is what your final gear ratio will/should be. The fact that any driven OD gear of 0.75 or more, will dictate a huge drop in efficiency. So I would think that a final ratio of around 2.50:1 would be choice.

The first gear final ratio is also important... and it is better to keep that as close to around 8.0:1 to about 10.0:1. So just keep that in mind when selecting the transmission ratios available.

I will call all 3 shops tomorrow and get some info. I hope to place an order by the end of the week. Thanks for the info on the gear ratio's. I'll inquire about that as well.

The car will have remote reservoir double adjustable coil overs so it will be set up for road racing but will be a nasty street car for the most part. I like to over engineer because I don't want problems at a later point in time. I just want to make sure that what ever set up I get, it will be able to handle the power and not blow up weather I'm at the drag strip, road race or mashing on the street.
