V6 Transmission Swap? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Aprojectile · 09-28-2016, 07:53 AM

I've made a post about this before but that was a while ago and didn't get many responses. But anyways, I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way to put a stronger transmission into the V6 cars? I would love to see a trip 6060 swap or something similar. I've always been wondering if the bell housing from the v6 6th gen will bolt up to our car? If so we could at least get the tr 3160, and the model used in the gt 350 is fairly beefy too.

Either way, I'm just needing something stronger than this Aisin AY6, im already pushing way past it's limit and I'm already having issues with this transmission too. Plus I have a goal of eventually getting 600 rwhp and I know by then, this Aisin AY6 is just die if i try to push that much power through it.

I'm in the same boat but I haven't boosted mine yet. I was kinda hopin that there would be a swap at this point but no one has done it. I'd like to boost the V6 but its my DD so it has to be reliable, and I loathe the ay6 so much to the point where I might just SS swap the whole drivetrain to get rid of it.

Same question, a bit different slant. Has anyone done an auto to manual swap on the V6?

Ive been trying to see if an RA62 transmission will fit for the M6 cars. If im not mistaken its a variant of the AY6 with closer gear ratios, used in the Lexus IS 250 and other cars.

The Tacoma guys get the same AY6 we do. They've been searching for this fix for a while.
