How the greatest American six-speed was born

After nearly 20 years, the Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission is dying. But what a run it had as the stick shift of choice for a pantheon of modern American sports cars—the Mustang GT500, the Camaro, the Dodge Viper, the Challenger, the Cadillac CTS-V and CT5-V Blackwing, and all the way up to the Chevy Corvette ZR1. The TR-6060 defined what America's performance cars felt like in the 2000s and 2010s, but its history goes all the way back to the early 1990s, the very first Dodge Viper, and a truck transmission plant in Mexico. #tremec #cars #cartok #carhistory #carculture #manual #engineering #ford #gm #dodge #viper #chevrolet #corvette #camaro #cadillac #blackwing #explained
