TR6060 to 6l90E swap - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

4SFED6.0 · 10-11-2017, 09:03 AM

Im starting to gather parts to do a tr6060 to 6l90e swap in my 2011 SS. Dont even say that I should be going with a 4l80e, I have another car with a 4l80e and its a great trans but its not what im looking for with this car. So far i have a complete dash/bcm harness, steering column/wheel with paddle shifters, brake pedal, floor shifter and a zl1 driveshaft. I still need a new engine harness for an auto car,cooler/lines, the zl1 trans itself and a zl1 crossmember. It should be a pretty straight forward plug and play swap for the most part. I found someone that can do a reflash on the bcm and IPC to an auto calibration. Im hoping to find a trans soon and actually get started within the next month or so.

I’m intersested in your swap. I have a 6l90 and was thinking of a TR6060 or 4l80. I’m pushing the limits of mine. What are your power numbers and what build are you using on the 6l90? What do you plan on doing with your old parts. I would like to stay with the 6L90 but the transmissions are so touchy at high power levels. Was the TR6060 Holding up?

Right now I'm about 700 whp but will be a little more next year, The 6060 is working great with no issues, actually still on the stock clutch going on almost 3 years at this power level. I think The car will be more fun and definetly faster with an auto. I will be selling all of the manual parts as soon as I get them removed within the next couple weeks.

I bought one from LKQ with 11k miles on it.

I thought I would go ahead and update this thread, ive had the car done since the spring, everything is working perfectly as if the car was a factory auto. Im very happy with the decision to do this, after selling my trans and all other parts removed I pretty much broke even. This is definitely not for the faint of heart, to be done correctly the dash needs to be removed to change the front body sub harness. Was a good winter project.
