SS 6L80e to TR6060 swap
Instead of de-modding and selling this car, and purchasing another that has a manual trans, I've elected to take the "unpaved road" so to speak and swap in the tremec tr6060 transmission myself.
my parts list so far include:
obviously this swap would not make sense at all for anyone who can not do their own work on their vehicles, or care about any warranties. I could only imagine what a shop would charge to do this swap on an hourly rate. Im going to start tearing the car apart next weekend, and ill post pics of my progress. I doubt this will be a one weekend job. According to others, the mechanical components all bolt right up, the trick here will be to get the electronics to work together as it would on a manual car. Armed with only a service manual, tools and a large set of cajones, my plan is to:

Andy at ADM just swapped my car from a TR6060 to a stalled 6L80. I have a ZR1 clutch, RPM level IV 6060, LPE flywheel, DSS 1 piece driveshaft, wiring harness, shifter, pedal assembly & everything else that came out of the car. All parts only have 3,000 miles on them, let me know if you need something.

I take it you don't drag race much? I hope not, because welcome to a world of crap with that manual trans if you do! Good luck with your swap though, 6 speed is definetly more fun on the street.

There is only a 1/8 track out here, the 1/4 was shut down a couple years ago.

Its going down right now.
auto trans is out, dash is out, and im putting in pedals now. I ran into a small issue http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...11#post7024611 im going to go install the clutch and trans now, hopefully I can get a measurement off a manual car so I can mount the clutch pedal. the auto trans is really heavy compared to the manual!
