Can you describe the noise in a little more detail, and under what driving and road conditions it occurred? Did it occur at constant speed and throttle, or just on decel?

All I've seen for the 6060 is the Pro 5.0 and the Tri-Ax. But I also think the shifter still looks the same as stock. Just works better.

You could probably tack on the hurst stick to any one of those if you have mad metal fab skillz.

You'd hate the auto even more, trust me. It's so damn slow to downshift and wants to freakin granny shift all the time. I've been manually shifting the thing more and more lately.

It's sooooo annoying to put the pedal to the floor and have to wait 2-3 second at least before it responds. Until then I just sit there. GRR!

as you know i recently broke my 5 speed, i put my tr6060 in this weekend and i went with the pro 5.0 and the shelby 6 speed shift ****. I love it so far, its not slushy at all... the gt's should just come with these 6 speed from the factory. I would gladly pay the extra money over the 5 speed (2k more?) to just have a gt with a 6 speed, i am very happy with it so far.

Like drilling the holes in the Hurst stick pieces slightly oversize so the bolts will fit the Tremec? (I think the bolt spacing might be just a little different, but not by much.) Never did take a picture of this when I upgraded a T10 to a 3550 Tremec in another car.

Might need to do a little "shortening" though . . .

So maybe you don't need mad skillz after all.

Swapping my 5R55S with a 6060 sounds so tempting.

I thought about a 4r70w but I read on another forum several posts saying to do that you'd have to basically re-program your computer to make it think it's a manual car. I figured, hell might as well put a manual in it if I'm going to do that!

I just wish the swap kit AMP Performance has wasn't so expensive. I can buy all the parts myself for MUCH cheaper, but then I wouldn't be 100% sure I have every last part. I have a list that's supposedly everything but I'm still unsure. Oh and obviously I wouldn't be doing the work myself unless I wanted the car to never be drivable again.

What drive-shaft do you have? I just put in a dynotech 3.5" aluminum DS. It would suck if this thing wouldn't work w/ a 6060.

Breaking the 3650 is about the best possible reason for upgrading to the 6060, at least in a car that sees mostly street use.

Don't know that I'd spend $2k for it as an OE option, though, as that's only about $1300 more than the TKO 5-speeds (which shouldn't be much more than the 3650 if built in similar quantities on an OE contract).

You GT guys don't know how good you have it. The TR3650 is heaven compared to the T5 thats in the v6. Which is why I'm just gonna throw the TR6060 in it. :thumbsup:
