C60/C160, 6 speeds for A series Options

[JoKeRkId613]

I'm about to install the Super 60 turbo in my car as soon as I receive my FMIC, BOV, and SAFC-2(should be on their way). I'm also thinking about the future tho because I know the 7AFTE wont last for long cuz it has a crap load of miles. So I'm thinking maybe going 6 Speed and later swapping the blacktop. I SEARCHED and found that there are 2 good 6spd trannies for the A series. First, I need to know the difference between the C60 and C160 tranny. From the search on 6gc, i found that the c60 came with available lsd and the c160, i know for sure comes with helical lsd or sumthing. thats not a difference tho. lol. i mean, is there anything else? also, can i put a c160 and use it with my 7af(t)e? i would need the ecu for that tranny, i assume? let me know. thanks.

c60 isnt a great tranny everyone i know with it has developed grinds in the first 4 gears and the slider forks on them sometimes just plain snap, for me 1-2 never went in right at high rpms (8500+) and couldnt be put in fast at all.

and anyone pushing over 275FWHP with it is upgrading to straight cut gears with no syncros and cyro treated bellhousings. another 5gs.

so just letting you know the c60 might not be your best option.
