Enjoyed your video. I'm going to attempt a magnum upgrade on my Falcon Xr6t Tr6060. Stock mainshafts dont like 600 plus. Second hand tr6060 boxes are expensive here in Australia. Na - turbo/V8 box prices are roughly 2-4 k Usd and theres no guarantee they could be ok. You can add much more $ if you want a full tyrn key swap ie: box pedalbox flywheel clutch master mounts driveshaft loom ecu loom / computers / electronics etc to have it all fit and work. They came out factory fitment here in Ford Bf Fg Fgx Falcons and Holden Ve Vf Commodores. The Ford and Holden Tr's are very sort after as both factory cars were predominantly autos. Barra na/turbo and Ls conversions / swaps are everywhere here. Just a bit of Au trivia for you guys....
lol shift forks messed me up too! Not because i couldnt get them all together, but because i drove the roll pin out for the alignment collar [so i can install the rod while the forks are installed] and i ended up putting the collar on upside down....... couldn't figure it out for 3 days...... had to remove a sealed bellhousing 4 times before i caught it..... talk about frustration, but now i know and like you said, these things will be a breeze to go through now. :D
Man thats nutz. Good for you. Just do it! Id have to have a GOOD manual to even think about attempting that build. Ive got a 6sp Hellcat with the 6060. Id like to faceplate it but i would have to send it in for sure
Sweet video man! Is it ideal to use that bearing grease vice just lubricating the bearings with the transmission fluid you'll be running? Also, I love those press tools you used towards the end pressing those gears on.
I have to ask Chris, what's with the use of the word "we?" Do you have an invisible assistant? 😉 You pretty much seem to be a one-man army to me. A tour de force if you will.
the kit is EXTREMELY difficult to locate. I struggled to find mine and i paid close to $1000 for it...... so tr6060 for $1400 and conversion kit for $1000, already into the trans for $2400 and you still have to do exactly what he did in the video, plus youll need a shim kit....... probably better off purchasing a t56 magnum
I’m currently putting together a 67 Camaro it’s got the gen v lt4 with the ten speed automatic 12bolt posi body was chemical dipped all original panels no rust California car
Hey Chris, we just picked up a LS3 but has auto trans. We are wanting a manual. I noticed in the video the 6060 to T56 rear. The question i have is did you do this to avoid the cost of just getting a T56 trans? I'm wondering if we should just buy a T56?
Do you have any info on where the tr6060 came from? I sourced one from a 2014 hellcat and need to adapt it to my gen3 6.0 h.o. Looks like the bell housing isnt integrated into the rest of the case
Have you had any issues with that bit of wear on your input shaft from a pilot bearing? I did this exact same mod to a tr6060, only to realize after assembly that the input shaft was worn down too far from a pilot bearing in a past life. So i get to tear it down again lol
I wouldn't have the nerve to do that trans shaft swap, but you gave me some hope 😊

Nice work. Transmission looks very intimidating. I bet it feels good to have it done.
Wow,! I give you credit, there is no way in hell I would have attempted that. I would have pulled out the credit card. Good job.
Awesome video, turned out nice!
Great channel ! I wish I could build my trans am like this .

Dude that was amazing much respect
Best part 26:15 😂… Shows you have the same struggles and frustration as the rest of us sometimes
You don’t happen to have part numbers for the clutch and flywheel by chance?
It looks like it might be LUK 04905 but I can’t be sure. I’d like confirmation as well
Incredible job.
Is there anything you can't do?? Amazing!
Schaeffler \ Luk is really good quality! They OE to every vehicle manufacture.

Great video. Takes guts to tear the guts out of that transmission. Will that clutch and flywheel setup fit my 2005 CTS-V LS6?
Yes it will

He's referred to himself using the royal "we" since a very early age.
@@marksullivan55 Ah, so he has an invisible friend. At least "they" get along. My invisible friend and I don't get along. 😉
love this series !! had to subscribe, what was that book you had on floor at 7:03 ????
Any way you could list the individual parts for the conversion? I'm looking to piece a kit together...IT WOULD BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!! THANK YOU

@@speedhouse3147 I have a camaro tr6060 already.
@@LT4Nova you just have to search for the conversion kits. I've yet to find one either and I've been looking for a while now.

Where did you get the parts to do the t56 conversion? I scored a free tr6060 and want to do the same thing for my cobra.
How much power are you putting through this clutch and how is the feel. I can looking at this clutch set up at rockauto
