A6 TO M6 SWAP THREAD

Post by orgdnr »

So it would appear I'm still masturbating the 6L80 build and have become quite fast at the R&R :oops: . That being said, in frustration I looked up a TR6060 on CL and found what I think is the most compatible unit for our cars. 2010 Camaro SS w/ 3.01 first gear. The front shifter plate bolts are is 29 1/2" from the bell housing flange so the boot will bolt up to the floor with what appears to be NO modifications. 3.45 gears will be ok but a 3.70 would work better IMO with the .57 6TH. the trans I purchased came with the front driveshaft which is 2" shorter (perfect for our caprice). I have a take off flywheel off of a new crate LS7 so now the pedal research begins.

list of things needed, feel free to add your thoughts on compatible vehicle parts.

clutch pedal assembly
clutch master cyl.
center console conversion with hand brake
shifter handle (2009 g8 gxp) should suit

There are a few guys that have done a similar swap with the G8 and if I remember right you are going to have to redo your engine wiring harness . You might want to see if Crazy Paul can get one for you . That is if you don't want to hack up your harness . I'll see if I can find the thread , but let me warn you its a long read lol .http://www.g8board.com/forums/showthrea ... 86&page=17" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Hope this works my copy and paste skills are kind of weak .

The 2015 SS also came with a 6-speed...but so far I haven't seen any manuals pop up at the insurance auction that would be donor cars yet.

Hi Chris, am I able to purchase a used BCM for you to program or are they vin locked? Do you have a list of available options that can be modified?
