Hey Guys,
I'm hoping that now a good amount of us are getting their 6060 swaps completed (myself included) we should do a guide for those considering or for those who decided and want to make the right decisions. I will post the guide as I have experienced it and will add to it as my car is completed. Feedback and Suggestions are welcome, I'll update this OP as necessary.
2015+ S550 Mustang GT MT-82 to TR6060 Swap Guide
Let me start off by saying I was shocked at how well everything bolted up on the S550 chassis. Right down to the floor pan bolts for the shifter. If you get all of your decisions made up front and parts ordered in advance then you will find this swap to be painless.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
1. TR6060 (duh) - You have many options here but it must be a 6060 that came out of, or is intended for a 07+ GT500. There are two different gearing ratios available and hands down the best person to walk you through this is Ben Calimer at Calimer Transmission. He consulted with me about my mods and driving style and literally re-built a donor to suit. The price, without a core was very reasonable and I suggest you start with him. The only other viable option I considered was a LOW mileage takeout (the ones that come available are quickly gobbled up) or a new replacement from Ford (which is cost prohibitive when compared to the options from Ben).
2. SHIFTER
I went with MGW. It bolted right in and feels perfect. I've heard that any GT500 Shifter will work but I don't have experience with anything other than MGW.

3. CLUTCH ASSEMBLY/FLYWHEEL/SLAVE & THROW OUT BEARING/PILOT BEARING
You will need a 26 spline clutch. I was fortunate to have already swapped to a McLeod RXT and they re-hubbed my clutch disks to 26 spline for $75. I'm assuming most people doing this swap have switched from a factory clutch so this may take some research on your part. While we were in there we replaced the Slave Cylinder/Throw Out Bearing and the Pilot Bearing because, you'd be crazy not to. I think the Slave is different, in that it's slightly longer but I need to confirm this. If you have to buy a new clutch entirely there are plenty of forum vendors who will hook you up with a 26 spline version.
SWAP SUPPORTING COMPONENTS:
Although the transmission will bolt up directly to the S550 Coyote there are some other supporting pieces that are needed to successfully make the swap.

Part Number: 8R3Z-6A023-B
OEM Ford
This bolts right in. We also used a 14 GT500 Trans Mount (Ford Replacement), I'll get the part number.
2. 2014 GT-500 Speed Sensor Pigtail
Part Number: 3U2Z-14S411-VBB
OEM Ford
There are plenty of companies that sells these pigtails. For the short extra $ to go OEM I did. The 6060 uses a two wire Speed Sensor setup and the MT uses a three wire. The extra wire will be a ground that you bring to a chassis ground. I will dig up a wiring diagram/color guide but here's the gist: Match up 12v Power and then match up the DC voltage signal wires and bring the extra wire to ground. We'll get into the other speed sensor stuff later.
3. 2014 GT-500 Reverse Light Pigtail
Part Number: 3U2Z-14S411-NZA
OEM Ford
4. 2014 GT-500 Reverse Lockout Solenoid Pigtail
Part Number: DU2Z-14S411-ATA
OEM Ford
The MT-82 does not have a reverse lockout. You have two options, use a swap specific box (more on that later) or put in a momentary switch. I didn't even give thought to disabling the lockout. This pigtail makes the splices clean and weather sealed.
Here's a guide to the Ford Pigtails. I'm sure I got the wrong picture or whatever so find a friend at a Ford Dealer order these or look to one of the aftermarket sources.
5. Blowfish Racing 07-14 GT500 Shifter Support Bracket
Part Number: SSB-07-600
Blowfish Racing
I deemed this "OPTIONAL" because the swap will work without it but I will eventually be putting it in because coupled with the MGW it tightens up the remote shift setup to be a non issue and includes a trans mount and driveshaft loop all in one. It's a little pricey but you get what you pay for. Ben Calimer recommends running this from the jump but I found you can get by without it.
6. SWAP SPECIFIC or SHORTENED ONE PIECE DRIVESHAFT
To date, Drive Shaft Shop is the only company I am aware of that makes a swap specific one piece. I had their Aluminum MT-82 Driveshaft in my car and the were kind enough to give me the measurements to take to my local machine shop to have it shortened and balanced. NOTE: If you plan on doing what I did you will need a four bolt flange off a Shelby as the four bolt MT adapter flange was considerably smaller (bolt hole center to bolt hole center)
That's all I can muster for now. coming up I will talk about the wiring a bit more, including the Speed Sensor and tuning and/or signal converter to make it jive with the PCM, reverse lockout options etc....I'll also post up the options for the reverse lockout boxes and signal converters.
I welcome people to make suggestions/corrections so I can get this to be sticky worthy.
