The 1LE/ZL1 version handles greater torque.

I went with RSG. If you plan on ever running any mile events, make sure it get the 9310 billet 5th gear. I have a couple of friends that used RPM without issues also. We installed the RPS triple carbon clutch to top off the driveline upgrades.

That's not correct. The 1LE and ZL1 are not the same torque rating, nor do they have the same ratios. The regular M6 SS has an M10 with a rated torque capacity of 430ft/lbs. The 1LE has an MM6 with a rated torque capacity of 430ft/lbs. The Z/28 has an MM6 with a rated torque capacity of 500ft/lbs. The ZL1 has an MG9 with a rated torque capacity of 560ft/lbs.
The MG9 from a ZL1 is the beefiest gearbox of them all. 707 SS - what issues are you having?

"The Tremec TR-6060 "MG9" manual features 30 percent more torque capacity than in the Camaro SS. The higher torque capacity results from a strengthened output shaft, high-strength rear housing, and additional roller bearing. The MG9 has also been tuned for improved shift feel, with a dual-mass flywheel, twin-disc clutch, and triple synchros for smooth, precise shifts." - so they say.
1LE and SS are same other than gearing. 1LE and ZL1 are same 1-3 gears but 5-6 different. For me, the ideal gearset would be the 1LE in a ZL1 strength package; hence, maybe a call to RPM is needed.

I guess at this point it can't hurt to take a look at the trans itself and see if there is an issue there that[s bothering the slave. I'd take a look at the clutch too, I would suspect that of hurting the slave before the trans itself. You've definitely got the right idea with getting that billet throw-out support in there. Maybe you just got a defective slave when you did the replacement or something stupid. Let us know what you find. As for the trans RPM and Tick do TR6060 rebuilds, and I'm sure there are others. I always swore if I ever pulled mine out I would send it for a rebuild and get those damn 10-11 junk syncros/blockers replaced - and yet when I had the throw-out bearing go out this fall I didn't have the funds so I just put in a new slave with the billet support and continue to fight a far from idea 1-2 shift.
