The major difference in the T56 and the TR6060, above all else and the big reason for the problems in the 1-2 shift is the remote shifter location on the TR6060 vs the direct mounting in the T56. The huge amount of torque the engine puts out, places a bit of twisting on the engine which makes the remote shifter not inline with the gate on the transmission. It only takes a few degrees to create an issue.Keep in mind I am not trying to indicate your particular transmission didn't have an issue. I quoted it as a relevant segment into my points.
The TR6060 is the OEM version of the T56 Magnum. They are very similar. The difference is the TR6060 has, mixed into it, various minor OEM tweaks for their criteria. The TR6060 came out to replace the T56 (the original transmission created under Borg Warner for the Viper), if I am not mistake, in debut with the 2007 GT500 in fact... One of the most significant changes between the T56 and TR6060 is a revision of the synchros and gears to facilitate more friendly (smoother) shifting in daily driving.
Simply taking a look back at the part number changes and TSBs/ISMs for the GT500 clutch and shifter, 2007-2014, it is pretty clear to see what I am mentioning. Even the [good] tech articles on the 2013-14 GT500 mention these topics.
