TR6060 MG9 transmission mount and Crossmember

[NickBurns]

Hey folks - I’ve been searching high and low for some possible combinations to work with a Detroit Speed subframe. Seems no one makes a kit that works with confidence. The MG9 TR6060 (2015) mount bolts up to the side of the transmission. Does anyone know of a combination that works well with the Detroit subframe? I have the Detroit engine mounts with standard setback.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question. Are you looking for a crossmember that works with the DSE frame for a TR6060?

I dont know specifically for the 6060, but my T56 Magnum works well on the hooker blackheart crossmember in my DSE frame.

Can see it a bit in this pic (old pic so can get more recent if you'd like).

Thank you for the reply but the TR6060 is longer and the mount actually attaches to the sides. This has become the issue. I wish I knew for sure that I could use this cross member since I have the headers . I may have to purchase it and do some fabbing. I thought for sure someone would of solved this issue by now.

Hmm now I am confused - I did order the CNC spacer from these guys but when I received the transmission I realized the bracket attached to the two sides? Maybe I was sold a standard TR6060 transmission not the MG9? I asked and made sure they said it was a MG9

To be fair i'm not familiar with the differences. But i bet you can find something.

Hey Will - I figured it all out. The motor and transmission came from Australia so it’s actually a Holden LSA 6.2. Basically everything is the same as the ZL1 LSA including the hood. I called TREMEC and they were able to confirm the transmission cross referenced a MG9 with the same guts and gears. I do have to fabricate something on the crossmember. I went with the hooker blackheart that fits my DS subframe and I will just have to get crafty with my welder .

Do all 6060's mount from the side?

Here are the 2 mounts I have found showing the difference. What is weird, I have a LSA and 6060 out of a 14 zl1 and I haven't taken the crossmember off yet but I swear it doesnt look like the mg9 on the right

[NickBurns]

Thank you ! Yep very odd. I ended up buying the mount cut it apart and made my own! Much better than the one I bought !

I figured out my situation recently. The CTS-V used a different tail shaft housing compared to the ZL1. Both are MG-9 but different tail shaft housing. I was concerned on what I had that is wasnt the MG-9 but it had the same serial numbers as the engine. That is the difference and the need for 2 mounts.

[NickBurns]

Ahh I forgot about that option as well. Mine is from Holden. What mount did you go with ?

I have hooker motor mounts and got the blackheart crossmember and the poly mount. I am getting ready to see how it fits but may need to modify the crossmember. I never found much info on how this will fit. I may try and see if I can reuse the bracket that bolts to the transmission or make something
