Level 7 is proud to sell this Sikky 4" relocation shifter to the customer who has purchased a used TR6060 for their C10 truck.  Why this shifter?  Because it puts the shifter in the same location as what a T56 Magnum shifter, in the standard location, but flipped would be.  This location is perfect for 73-87 C10 owner or 67-72 C10 truck using bucket seats.  Pair this shifter with the Bowler Performance 14" lever and you will have the perfect combination of parts.  With the extra adjustability of the Bowler lever, you will be able to dial in shift lever location.  

Sikky - Designed and Manufactured in the USA using only the best materials.  We CNC machine the base plate from 6061 Billet Aluminum and clear anodize for increased durability and corrosion resistance.  The heavy duty shift rods and linkages are CNC machined from Stainless Steel.  Our shifters incorporate a boot on the top side of the front rod to eliminate any worries of leaking that are common with other brand shifters.  All this attention to detail and quality insure your Sikky shifter will stand the test of time and handle any abuse you throw at it.

Features:

• Relocates the shift rod location back 4″ from the forward 4 bolt location (9 inches forward of factory)
• Reduces shift throw by 40% for faster shifts
• Works with a variety of Engine swap and Transmission swap applications-Direct bolt on for the Tremec TR6060 Transmission
• Does not include shift rod
• Price includes 2 bolt adapter

Why did we design this shifter?

In the past if the shift rod on your transmission didn’t line up with the factory shifter opening in the transmission tunnel then cutting and modifying the sheet metal was required to make it work. To make matters worse this would often locate the shift rod in a less than desirable location where it was too far of a reach or too close.  Making shifts awkward and difficult.  Why cut up the sheet metal on your car or deal with uncomfortable shifts?  Customers can use the Sikky Shifter relocation as a quick and easy fix to these problems. So whether your car is designed for use on the street or track, you can count on the Sikky shifter to provide precise fit and smooth crisp shifts.

Fitment Notes:

• Commonly used for many different engine and transmission swaps into import and domestic vehicles, including hot rods, as well as off-road vehicles or anything you are swapping a TR6060 transmission into.
• Fits only  5th Gen Camaro TR6060   Transmissions
• You can either pick the clamp to have the shift rod right above the shifter or one of our offset pieces to give you the ability to place the shift rod where you want

Video Summary: Installing a TR6060 Transmission Behind an LS3 in a 1973–1987 Square Body C10

In this episode, Jesse from Level 7 Motorsports walks through the process of preparing and installing a Tremec TR6060 six-speed transmission behind an LS3 engine for a 1978 Chevrolet C10. Rather than simply assembling parts, the video explains the engineering decisions behind each component selection to help builders create a reliable, street-friendly drivetrain.

The installation begins with preparing the engine by replacing the rear main seal, installing a new pilot bearing, and fitting a McLeod RST twin-disc clutch and flywheel. Jesse explains why the RST organic twin-disc clutch is an excellent choice for street-driven trucks, offering increased torque capacity while maintaining smooth engagement and light pedal effort. He also compares the RST to the more aggressive RSX clutch, helping viewers understand which clutch best fits their intended use.

Throughout the installation, preventive maintenance is emphasized. Replacing inexpensive wear items such as the rear main seal and pilot bearing while the transmission is removed helps prevent future repairs and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

The video also explains several components commonly required when installing a TR6060 into a classic Square Body truck. Jesse demonstrates the Level 7 Motorsports rearward shifter relocation, which correctly positions the shifter in the factory console area, along with a TR6060 transmission mount adapter that allows the transmission to work with commonly available crossmembers and aftermarket chassis components.

Another important topic covered is the factory transmission oil cooler circuit found on OEM TR6060 transmissions. Jesse explains why most street-driven trucks do not require an external transmission cooler and demonstrates how the cooler ports can be safely sealed using the Level 7 Motorsports TR6060 Cooler Port Plug Kit. He also discusses when an external cooler becomes beneficial for dedicated road race applications.

Proper hydraulic clutch setup is another major focus of the video. Jesse demonstrates how to measure the clearance between the hydraulic release bearing and the clutch pressure plate fingers, explaining why maintaining the correct air gap is critical for clutch operation and component longevity. The process is broken down into simple measurements that remove much of the confusion surrounding hydraulic release bearing setup.

Additional installation tips include proper torque procedures, flywheel installation, clutch assembly, pilot bearing replacement, transmission preparation, and final assembly techniques. Throughout the video, Jesse shares practical experience gained from years of building manual transmission conversions, helping viewers avoid common installation mistakes while explaining the reasoning behind each step.

Whether you're installing a TR6060 into a Square Body C10, planning an LS swap, or selecting the correct clutch and transmission components for your project, this video provides valuable technical information that simplifies the installation process while explaining the engineering principles behind a reliable manual transmission conversion.
