Experienced Tremec TR6060 Manual specialists since 1987. Free computer diagnostic, lifetime warranty on rebuilds.
The Tremec TR6060 is the 6-speed manual used in high-performance American muscle cars. It's a heavy-duty unit built for high-torque V8 applications. Common issues are synchronizer wear (especially 1-2) and input shaft bearing noise. We rebuild these for Mustang and Camaro enthusiasts who prefer rowing their own gears.
