CTS V Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I've been doing a ton of research on the T56 six speeds in the V1 cts v. The shifter in mine is wore smooth out and needs a rebuild. I've seen a ton of options on the V1 shifter from several companies and individual fixes. However, I'm looking to upgrade and looking for some answers that I haven't been able to find. Mainly I am interested in the possibility of swapping the the V2 shifter from a Tremec 6060 to a T56. The features I'm looking for and hoping to achieve are shorter throw, a more positive feel moving through the gates, something with shift stops to help preserve shift forks. the overall feel I'm looking for is something like a Pro 5.0 shifter on a T5 mustang or camaro transmission where it's direct mounted. I know the V cars are remote mounted with a shift rod between the shifter and trans so I know it won't be exactly like the old transmissions. Before I start ordering parts for the stock unit I wanted to ask here to see if anyone has tried this or knows if it's been done or if there are better options. Thanks for any info and help.

BodybyFisher Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I don't like the looks of this unless the ball can be changed but someone discussed a hurst shifter for the 2004 to 2007 http://ls1tech.com/forums/cadillac-cts-v-2004-2007-gen-i/1699989-hurst-shifter-2004-2007-cts-v.html Quote Pre-1995 - DTC codes OBD1 >> 1996 and newer - DTC codes OBD2 >> https://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/gm/obd_codes.htm How to check for codes Caddyinfo How To Technical Archive >> http://www.caddyinfo.com/wordpress/cadillac-how-to-faq/ Cadillac History & Specifications Year by Year http://www.motorera.com/cadillac/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTS V Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I have seen this one before. While it may be the easiest option I'm very curious about the possibility of using a V2 shifter on the T56. Its a completely different design and the feedback about how those shifters worked over the V1 was very positive. They also have a short throw aftermarket upgrade for it that has shift stops made into the base. But have not seen or found anyone that's tried swapping the V2 shifter from a Tremac 6060 to a T56. I was hoping to find some information about that swap or if it was even possible. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
