Reply To: 2017 SS manual grinds going into third and I think the previous owner was a bit

[Xavier Morgan]

Dragging it to a Dubai dealer for this job is genuinely hard to justify when the TR6060 is a well known unit that any experienced manual transmission specialist can work on without needing brand specific tooling or software. The labour rate difference between a good independent in Sharjah and a dealer in Dubai on a job like this is significant and the outcome from a proper specialist who does this regularly is often better than a dealer technician who works on these transmissions occasionally as part of a broader workshop remit. Finding someone who specifically mentions Tremec experience rather than just general manual gearbox work is the filter worth applying because the TR6060 has specific characteristics that familiarity with the unit helps with. Ask them about common failure patterns on this specific box before committing and their answer will tell you quickly whether they actually know it or are just confident they can figure it out.
