tremec tko box
« on: January 12, 2009 - 05:49:45 AM »
hi guy just wondering if the tremec box fits the a883 bellhousing?

I ask because the tremec fits a toploader bellhousing for my friends
mustang.
also on the classic motorsport groups web site the 4 speed to 5 speed conversion does not include the bell housing its an option?

has any one checked that out at all?

Thanks Anton
Mopar or no car

Ford uses the Tremec tranny so it fits , not so on  a Mopar

Now that the new Challenger uses the Tremec 6 speed you may be able to use that bellhousing as the new hemi bolts to LA transmissions.

wouldn't a viper bellhousing work since the V10 is essentially a LA motor with 2 extra cylinders? They have tremecs don't they? :clueless:
oh....... too many cars. not enuff money... not enough time....

The Tremec 5008 is the Ford based TKO-600 transmission.  The bolt pattern fits the top loader pattern which means the Mopar guys have to modifiy to make it fit.  Classic has a cast small block bell housing that supports the LA small block family and the new 3G HEMI engines.  Keilser has a big block cast bell housing.  Quick Time manufactures a small and big block units for the TKO series of transmission as well as the Viper and GM based T-56 six speeds.

The new TR6060 six speed that is in the new Challengers, Mustangs and Camaros is a very large transmission that will not be a "user freindly" installation into our older E-Bodies.  I was told back in November not to expect any of the aftermarket 6060 units available for sale until late in 2009.  Not saying you can't get them, but it maybe a long wait.
