Factory 5 Build G/Box Question
Hello again,
Has anyone been successful in repositioning the gear selector on a TR6060 gearbox out of a FG ford. I don't want to go down the MWood avenue quite yet but would really like to get an idea what others out there have come up with so far. Cheers in advance. Psycho :JEKYLHYDE |
Psycho, talk to Aussie Mike on this forum. He might be able to help.
|
I believe that there is a different rear end you can get for them (T56)
|
Thanks fellas
Regards Psycho |

Yep, that's some of my work :)
I recently completed one for Ben (Modena) for his CR. Ive got s new shift lever design I've been using on more recent boxes. I'll post s couple of pics when I'm back in town. I also do s few things to the internals to help them.survive. Cheers |
Awesome gents thanks very much for the replies so far I really appreciate it.:)
|
Here's the new shifter setup. The bolt on shift lever makes for a bit more flexibility with shifter styles. Allows for a traditional style shift lever etc.

Hi Psycho,
I have a TR6060, under the centre cover, there is already a ball socket for centre mount shifter, no need to cut the shaft like the T56's, Correct me if i'm wrong here Mike with the T56. I bought a Core Hurst Shifter specifically to suit the TR6060 box, i dont know what the difference is with the T56 version, but they are different somehow, i have heard the T56 version fits, but cant select reverse, this may not be true though. http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9c08e2cb.jpg http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/...psb585416a.jpg http://i1060.photobucket.com/albums/...ps55578286.jpg |
Mike, I SSSOOOOO am gonna find something for you to modify or machine on my Pace. Love your work!

Unfortunately mine looks to be standard Dave :(
Thanks anyway by the way your gearbox looks sweet man good job. Regards Psycho:JEKYLHYDE |
Psycho that does not look like a 6060. What did it come out of and can you give us the TUET part numbers off the casing?
|
Dave W --- is that heat dissipating paint on the gearbox ? or are you intending for the use of a trans oil cooler ?
The T56 is fairly versatile for shifter positioning -- just ask Mal Wood |
Looks very much like T56 to me. The selector even looks like it has the old CAGS solenoid guide on it.
CAGS is Computer Aided Gear Selection and it was an aid for the 2-3 shift that forced the selector across via a solenoid indexing in a grove in the selector. As Ben says if you can find the tag on it with the part number we'll know for certain. Cheers |
Modena it came out of a FG XR8 TUET 6844D F2883 if that helps the rest of the numbers are R29-7003-CD 01082
Regards Psycho |
It's looking like it's a TR6060. TUET is the prefix for both T56 and TR6060.
It's got the longer ford Extension housing which confused me initially. Yours was manufactured on June 28 2008 There is not much difference between it and the regular T56. It's still only got triple cone syncros in 1-2 and double cone for the others. Supposedly there have been some improvement in the shifting mechanism internally. The ratios are 1st 2.98:1, 2nd 1.78:1, 3rd 1.30:1, 4th 1.00:1, 5th 0.71:1 and 6th 0.55:1 Cheers |
MrsF,
Paint is 2pk, Now you've got me wondering ! |
Thanks Mike I appreciate your time.
Cheers Psycho |
