[QUOTE="Tob, post: 15886945, member: 83412"] 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, they 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 forward. I brought this up to George a couple of days ago and he felt I was dead wrong as he hears complaints at his business 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. [/QUOTE]
