TR6060 Tremec 6 speed Gearbox

I spent a lot of time trying different cleaning fluids and chemicals to try and restore the aluminium sheen without resorting to polishing, the box was spick and span, but still didnt look any better so i painted it, and in keeping with my black and silver theme, it ended up black like the diff.
Other than a partial strip to check the condition, the only mods are the remote clutch bleeder and the shifter.

All black, not sure if the original commodore tail shaft flange stays or goes.

This box came with the engine i bought from a 21000k VE HSV,
the insides look like new so back on with the housings and painted up.

After reading that the TR6060 didnt have a speedo drive, i was flicking through a VE assembly manual and discovered that they do have a pulse generator fitted at the rear of the box extension housing on the right hand side.
This has simplified my thoughts of taking the speedo readings from the ABS sensor in the rear wheel.

Reverse Lock Out Solenoid.










The VE Commodore has the shifter mechanism mounted off the rear of the extension housing with a lever shaft and ball mounted back to the center mount.

Removing the cover reveals the ball mount for a mid mount shifter mechanism.





This is a Core - Hurst Shifter mechanism,
All Hurst components fitted into custom TR6060 mid mount housing.

These shifters are less than half the price of locally available options and appear to be very well constructed, the Movement feels very snug but smooth.

Standard Hurst shift lever will bolt straight on.


This pic shows my custom remote bleeder.
The fitting to the slave cylinder is unique, its a custom made 8x1.25mm male thread with convex end on the slave side, and -3AN 3/16 male on the output side, mated to a 3/16 brake flex line.

To make the fitting, i bought a -3AN male to male steel adaptor and machined off the thread on 1 side and then tapped to 8x1.25mm to suit the slave cylinder.

Fitted to the other end of the clutch bleeder line is a 3/16 to 10mm female concave fitting with a Russell speed bleeder nipple screwed in to it.

I still have to make a bracket to mount the end to the gearbox securely so its not floating around.

The Brakequip guy in Pakenham made up the custom length flex brake line with standard fittings..
$55 all up.
