TR6060 and TB suspension? Any info on the starter interference?

I don’t think this is an issue with the TR6060 per se, but an issue with the right side starter mount on the factory G3 bellhousing.

Correct. It's the location of the starter that is the issue. I guess I just combine it in my mind due to (as far as I know) the TR6060 being kind of stuck as it is.

I know the QuickTime G3 bellhousing moves the starter to the left side, same as the QT bellhousing for the LA small block. As far as the TR6060, the Tremec T56 based transmissions have some differences in the input shaft based on the model, ie, Viper vs Ford vs Chevy vs T56 magnum vs TR6060. I don’t see any reason why the TR6060 has to be a right side starter, but, I’m not versed enough in the TR6060 to know if the G3 QT bellhousing is compatible without changes to the front plate or input shaft.

I don't know of a bellhousing available to bolt to a TR6060 out of Challenger that would swap the starter to the drivers side. Everything I found is based on the LS style T56 and won't bolt to a TR6060.

I did some research awhile ago to see if a TR6060 could be converted to a T56 due to them being about half the price of a T56. In the end, I think I had to pretty much get a free TR6060 to make it work to buy the parts to convert it. Maybe it would be worth it to just do the midplate and input shaft so I could use an QT bell, or even the cast aluminum one from American Powertrain. All I looked at was the full conversion.

When I was going to put a 6 speed behind my LA, the T56 was really the best option. Now that I am gathering parts to do a G3 swap, the TR6060 was back on the table until I read that the PS starter forces you to use an aftermarket suspension. But then I tripped over the note in the header instructions and now I am wondering if maybe it is still an option.
