I am swapping a TR6060 into my 2013. I was wondering if anybody has done this, and might have some wiring diagrams available? I searched but didn't find much useful info. Any help is appreciated.
MT82/TR6060 Swap
- Thread starter AKcobra
- Start date
Subscribing, looking to eventually ditch the MT-82 for a TR6060 or built T-56.
Isn't this still a semi-remote mounted shifter? I have heard of one person doing this recently on another forum, if I find the link I will definitely post it. They had some good luck with their swap, except something went wrong with the TOB. I can't remember off the top of my head atm.
But this really sounds like a good idea overall.

Anyone that has done this chime in?
Bump...anyone?
Its still a remote shifter set up, but better then the mt-82 set up. 2010-2012 gt-500 owners often talk about the 2nd gear missed shift problem associated with that tranny. I don't know what your budget is but i recommend you go with the tremec magnum, its better inside and out then any 6060.....
Not my car. Swapping in a buddies car and trans is already hung. Just looking to finish up the install. He got a smoking deal on the trans so its worth a shot. Better than the MT-82. MT-82 will be rebuilt for his coyote swapped BMW.
BUMP. going to be purchasing a TR6060, clutch, and DS soon and want to know what else I need, and what issues I'll run into.
You will need a new trans crossmember, gears (4:10's) , the gears in the trans are longer then mt-82's. i would get a clutch line upgrade, get a a new slave cylinder, don't re use the stock unit.
the crossmember will come with the trans. how bad will it be if I was to leave my 3.31 rears? the reason i'm swapping is for the longer gears. what what I want. The car is strictly a roll race car, so that's the point.
It will be slower , sluggish to respond especially if you are naturally aspirated! Put it this way 4:10's with a tremec is the same as 3:31's with an mt-82. So imagine 3:31's with a tremec.
Drive length is different and the clutches are not compatable....
Definitely sounds like a somewhat intricate swap. I've heard we need DS, clutch(due to splines being different) and the trans, plus the speedo box. And even with that, people still have issues with cruise control and speedometers not working...
I recently got to play with a new prototype shifter for the 6060 that basically makes it feel like a top-loader.
I personally would of just had my MT-82 rebuilt and beefed up. Swapping to a T-56 isn't a bad option but you have to run much steeper gears due to the transmission gearing being different from the MT-82. I won't run above a 3.73 myself. I also read an article on another forum about a guy doing a TR-6060 swap. I only remember reading about problems. Mainly electrical ones. Either way, good luck.
i was talking to a guy trying this swap and he was having nothing issues with the speedo.
if you go to a TR6060 and refuse to run anything bigger then a 3.73 and make less then 1000-1100 hp it will most likely be a turd
Eric,
Don't most of the 13' GT500's have 3.73's with the TR6060?

going to go with this. I'll be doing a write up, in case anyone is thinking about doing the same, with full pictures. I'll be doing this myself in my garage, so we'll see how it goes.
still hunting for driveshaft, so if anyone knows of a used one for a 13/14 gt500, let me know! I'd like to pick one up from JPC along with the speedo box i'll need, but I'd like to negotiate a deal. we shall see how it goes.
