Shifter base for TR6060 Hemi swap from 2009-2023 Challenger
*** NOT FOR USE IN A CHALLENGER! Stick is NOT offset rearward like OE & will NOT FIT in console! ***
Shifter base for custom conversions:
- ONLY FITS TR6060 transmissions sourced from 2009-2023 Dodge Challenger V8
- Tail location only (see pic) - does NOT FIT forward location aka "inspection port"
- Converts from remote OE cantilevered shifter to direct mount 11" forward of OE shifter (replaces OE linkage cover ON TAIL - see transmission pic)
- NO modifications! Simply remove linkage cover and install base
- MIGHT be possible to modify a 2009-2015 Cadillac CTS-V TR6060 (aka GM # 24264047 ; 24258817 "MG9") to use this base. Swap tailhousing to Mopar # 68271183AA / 68056510AA, shift rail # 68056511AA, and lug # 04626579. Main shaft probably also needs to be changed... (may require other parts / mods)
- DOES NOT FIT ANY OTHER TR6060! For all other T56 & TR6060 models, see separate listings
- NOT FOR USE IN A CHALLENGER! Stick is NOT offset rearward like OE & will NOT FIT in console!
- Mounts at tail location on a rectangular 4-bolt pattern that is ~ 2.88" wide x 3.65" long; stub pivot ball center is ~1.2" below the flange

A Hurst stick is required (NOT included, sold separately). Other brands and homemade sticks are discouraged. Stick mount has 3/8"-24 threaded holes spaced 7/8" apart on center + mating serrations for a Hurst stick on one face. Due to larger mounting threads (3/8"-24), sticks that use 8mm mounting bolts (most OE, "non-TKO" Lokar, others) will not work. Lokar TKO sticks can be mounted but only to the smooth side of the stub. To select the proper parts:
- Wait until new transmission is installed to buy shifter parts
- Remove existing shifter base if present
- Sit in vehicle, in driving position, with all interior trim (dash, console, etc) in place
- Define desired knob location in space (neutral position):
- Measure height from base flange to desired knob location = overall height
- Measure side & rear offsets from receptacle bore to desired knob location
- See this diagram for clarification
- Study the Hurst stick page for shapes that meet your needs
- Allow 3-6" for stick mount height
- Choose a stick and see what fulcrum heights are compatible with it (see chart)
- Check overall height (see chart: stick height + mount height = overall height)
- Confirm chosen combination achieves desired knob location and that fulcrum height works with stick length selected
- Consider various stick & stub combinations to optimize
- Note long sticks on angled mounts will strongly offset knob to left (can be 5-6"+)
- Options E & F require a Hurst stick directly mounted on side w/ serrations
Stub fulcrum height options (critical to optimizing leverage for short throw):
Option | For stick length | stick mount height | stick mount angle | upcharge |
---|---|---|---|---|
A | 8" | 3.1 | vertical | default |
B | 10" | 3.6 | vertical | +$10 |
C | 10"+ | 4.6 | vertical | +$20 |
D | 12"+ | 5.4 | angled 14 deg left | +$30 |
E | 13"+ | 4.3 | angled 14 deg left | +$40 |
F | 14"+ | 4.5 | angled 14 deg left | +$40 |
G | 6" | 3.5 | angled 11 deg left | +$10 |
H | 5" | 3.0 | vertical | +$10 |
- Stick length = point-to-point distance from mount hole to knob thread
- Stick mount height = distance from base flange to stick bolt hole (affects knob height)
- Fulcrum height = distance from lower ball to fulcrum pin; varies by option, not published
- Warning: Follow stick length guide to avoid excess effort & component failure
