This makes me think the GT500 is dead.

Um no doubt. But you only pour one out for your dead homies...Or he knows more than we do...

I think the stick is dead (in the GT500 anyway). Sounds like some at Ford want the TR6060 back and some don't.
Is the tr6060 in the SS 1LE too? I drove a ZL1 and immediately wanted to drive another one to see if that shifter was messed up. Of course, i’d just hopped outta my car with a nice n tight MGW so that could’ve skewed it a bit. But i was all over the place in that thing.Boatloads.
I must say, moderating the GT500 forums, owning a GT500 where I made 5 shifter changes, and having numerous conversations with George at MGW on the matter, I think I was pretty in tune with how well the TR6060 integrated behind the '07-'14 GT500's. Namely, that had a propensity to grind when pushed hard and fast. Jamal (IIRC) was quoted as saying that the TR6060 was never even considered for use in the GT350 due in part to it's heft, hence the money spent on TR3160 development. So why would Ford want to go back to it (beyond the fact that it has a high torque capacity)?
The above said, I found it interesting that GM stuck with the TR6060 in the high zoot Camaro's. After tracking a '17 SS 1LE I had zero complaints about the transmission and shifter in that car and felt that GM did a great job carrying that transmission Ford. I brought this up to George a couple of days ago and he felt I was dead wrong as he hears complaints about the new ZL1/1LE cars all the times with respect to grinding. If Ford wants to alleviate that potential issue by not reusing the old gearbox (however "new") - I'm all for it.
Wow, did not see that comin. What good is a mustang if you can’t lose traction and hit stuff?!
How did Europe ruin the manual in the Mustang? Most cars in Europe ARE manuals...A mustang without a manual trans. Thanks for ruining the mustang Europe!
Oh I know, its like 75 or 80 percent or something awesome. Apparently they arent a bunch of Nancys like Americans are. At any rate I was referencing those saying the mustang is a global car now so it must have this that or the other and move in a different direction.How did Europe ruin the manual in the Mustang?

Manual transmission uniquely overrated in America. I'm not saying I don't like driving a manual; my 06 GT has 30,000 miles of manual transmission usage but I don't find it to be the be all end all of enjoyment behind the wheel. It's a weird (not really) contest of manliness. I learned to drive in the UK; everyone drove shitbox manual transmission cars because they were cheaper and got better fuel economy so it was in no way a point of pride. Nothing special about that ability.
In the U.S I think it's akin to turn signal response. Here if you put on your turn signal, people have the bizarre psychological reaction of "no way, you're not getting in front of me!" and increase speed to close the gap, then turn it into a road rage party. Um, not a contest. If the space exists, they can get in without disrupting the flow of traffic and someone has the brain power to use the signal, in the UK you just let them in. Manual transmission draws the same type of response.

I'm not pouring out the 40 for a transmission. That's reserved for people. You'll find out shortly. 'just wait'
