I also ran D4 until speaking with a Tremec rep and him explaining a few things about extending the life of the -6060 when tracking.


I switched to their HP fluid. It's not ATF and doesn't have the same expansion properties. You can fill until full.


As for your scenario, I would not track with a full case. Take some fluid out.
I do find it interesting that other T56 / TR6060 applications call for the trans to be filled up to the bottom of the fill plug (without removing that 8oz). I wonder why they call for less fluid in the Camaro application?

Either way, I followed their recommendation to be safe.
