I understand that the Tremec T6060 box is easier to use in terms of gear change quality than the Tremec T56 unit.
I’m currently searching for a manual C6 and it would be very helpful to know when, from what VIN Chevrolet switched to the T6060 box
Does anyone know?
Thanks, Nick

I could be wrong but I thought the box changed at the exact same time as the engine changed from LS2 to LS3 in 2007 (for the 2008 model).

The large forum based in the US might have what you're looking for. Kindly see below. Folks from the UK and the Continent are on that site as well.

"08+ has the 6060. 07 down has the same T56 as in the c5. C6 Z51 manual cars have the same tranny as the c5z06 except the c6 has a cooler integrated. The base model c6 is the same as c5 except for 08+ which is the 6060."

"Improvements were made in 2010. New [TR6060] Features and Benefits for 2010 model year..."
