Tom Tucker Donating Members 615 Member For: 4y 9m 25d Posted 29/08/19 09:52 PM Share Posted 29/08/19 09:52 PM Hello Gents, First time post, soaking up as much info as possible. I can't find anything anywhere on the difference between the Holden/HSV TR6060, which you can buy brand new cheap, and the FG/FPV TR6060. I have a T56 in a BF Mk2, but am keen on a TR6060 upgrade in future. Am wondering if I can just change the bellhousing and bolt the sucker up? Thanks for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Tucker Donating Members 615 Member For: 4y 9m 25d Posted 30/08/19 03:54 AM Author Share Posted 30/08/19 03:54 AM I didn't get much from Mal, other than "you should use the FG TR6060". I guess it sort of answers the question. I'm assuming they're not comparable gearbox's, otherwise more people would be doing it. It's just a shame that you can't by new OEM FG TR6060 box's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT gearbox would grind under load rather than slot easily into 3rd gear...and before you say "operator error" this was confirmed by other members here, and also by the foreman at the Ford dealership I took it to under warranty. Foreman confirmed it shouldn't do that, sent through for warranty work...Ford came back with "we're not aware of any manufacturing fault that would cause that...no warranty replacement for you"...so I traded the car for a VF SSVR - whole different ballgame.

But my mates did and I drive that back to back with my GT and was a definitely difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
