The TR-6060 was Tremec’s response to, “Our customers want better shift quality and increased torque capacity,” says Tremec’s Enthusiast Marketing Director Nate Tovey. TREMEC H-PATTERN - HEAVY DUTY - 6 SPEED HELICAL SYNCHRO T56 - TR6060 - MAGNUM - MAGNUM XL Pfitzner Performance Gearboxes is the only manufacturer to offer a motorsport-proven high performance, 6-speed H-Pattern helical synchro gear system upgrade for TREMEC T56, TR-6060, Magnum and Magnum XL, in-line and transaxle transmissions. The TREMEC TR-6060 has as single-shifter location, however, the TREMEC Magnum 6-speed has provisions for locating the shifter in the three different positions, and the shifter can be reversed in each location, providing a total of six possible shifter locations in the car. TREMEC TR-6060™ Transmission 6-Speed RWD Manual Transmission The TREMEC TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission is found in high-performance flagship vehicles. Along with the capability to stand up to some of the highest torque engines in the industry, the TR-6060 delivers great overall shift feel with short throws and smooth gear synchronization.
The Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission features six forward speeds and one reverse speed. It is derived from the Tremec T-56 6-speed manual transmission. As usual, the forward helical cut gears are synchronized however, the reverse gear operates through a fully synchronized constant-mesh system. The TR-6060 contains removable wear pads on the shift forks, and uses aluminum alloys for the main case, extension housing, and clutch housing. It is manufactured by TREMEC (formerly Transmission Technologies Corporation) and is rated for 600 lb⋅ft (810 N⋅m) of torque.
Changes from T56-six speed[edit]
The FG Falcon launch documentation describes the new gearbox: 'The new synchroniser package features triple synchromesh on first and second gears, and double synchromesh on all other gears, including reverse, which has significantly reduced gear shift efforts and shift travel.
The reduced shift travel provided by the synchroniser package has also allowed increased space for the use of larger gears, which are stronger to deliver improved torque capacity and gearbox durability. A new single-piece counter shaft also contributes to the greater torque capacity and durability enhancements.
Other features of the new TR-6060 transmission include:
- Reduced friction in the shifter system courtesy of a new cam and anti-friction plunger to control the side load shift detents.
- Forward and rearward shift detent grooves are broached on the front of the main-shaft with a spring-loaded anti-friction roller, for more precise control of shift detents and positive shift feel.
- Anti-friction ball struts, sintered hubs and fine-pitch splines on all synchronisers for reduced friction between components - delivering improved shift feel and reduced shift efforts.
- Wider, two piece gears with machined clutch teeth for more precise gear engagement and reduced potential for gear block-outs.'
Lubrication[edit]
General Motors uses Texaco ATF Type III 1863 fluid and is certified 'fill-for-life,' requiring no fluid changes.[1]Ford US lists a fill specification of 3.65 quarts of Mercon-V automatic transmission fluid. FCA Applications use Mopar ATF +4 Automatic Transmission Fluid.
