Well the tr6060 is in with the NPC clutch and I couldn't be more impressed!  The lightness of the pedal is like the one in my mums lancer haha! There's almost no rollover noise and the clutch doesn't make a sound whilst in neutral at the lights. Very very happy with the combo and the guys at Forced Performance for installing it all!

As a bonus, within 30mins of the t56 being in the tray of the ute at home it's been picked up by someone :)

All I need to do now is sort out the gear stick as it's the one from the FG and it's about 3" too high haha

too high? how's that even possible ;) the higher it is the more leverage you have (more of than not) so I think you should keep it that way... or least the very least throw up a pic so we can see it :spoton:

 

great result, though... any run-in period necessary for the clutch?

It just doesn't go with the interior "styling" lol

Good throw with it but a bit silly.

I'll do a few hundred km's before I go doing any clutch dumps, I remember malwood saying years ago that 2000km bed in was what he recommended for his. . .

I think it's perfect at that height. Just a cover around the base and a silver or black paint job on the rest would be awesome :)

For any technical whizz's out there. Cruise control doesn't work in 6th. . . before the swap it worked in 1,2,3,4,6. Not 5.

When I had the car tuned by CMS it only worked in 1,2,3,4,6. When I had the car tuned by FPT I had cruise control in all gears. RDP tuned it last year and just 5th didn't work. Replaced gearbox and now 5th does but 6th does't, tune is untouched. . .

Any ideas how cruise control works?

Trent0 great work and thank you for this wonderful guide and results :happyfriends:

There's a lot of things I've learned along the way which I don't write so if you've got any questions hit me up and I might have an idea
