...just wish it had barn doors.

No you don't, my Suburban had barn doors and I'd have done anything for a drop down tailgate and lift glass. I found the barn doors to be really awkward.

Local Hero, I'm jealous you have a wagon without woodgrain. That freakin' right front fender molding trim is proving to be an absolute nightmare to find. If I can't find that, I may be forced to take it all off and do a painted-on woodgrain & trim or just a monochrome paint job.

Ha! Yeah, that's just the way it worked out. But based on the condition of this thing when I got it, if it had the woodgrain, I probably would have had to strip it and buff up what was left anyway.

Good Luck in your search.

Cool Frank, that would have the impressive 5L Coyote motor and TR6060 manual trans, a really nice combo.

Yeah, that would be a nice combo, but 5.0's are saddled with a Getrag of China M82 6 speed. Only the Supercharged 5.4L and 5.2L's get TR6060's.

I have both and can say conclusively Borg Warner of Mexico (Tremec) > Getrag of China.

What are the functional issues that you don't like about the M82?

Another picture of the Challenger. I am sure glad the 2010 came with the Mercedes Nag 1 5 spd auto trans. Once we upgrade at get a GT for my wife, I am thinking throttle body and bolt on JBA shorty headers for the 3.5.

A 6060/T56 magnum shifts a lot better. It actually goes into gear at 6800 RPM. The difference in feel is a M82 feels like you are pushing large, hard, rubber balls out of the way when you shift, while the 6060/T56 Magnum just goes into gear.. like its a Miata transmissions shifter, only the trans can take 700 lbft of torque..

Some of it is the remote shifter, but all of it isn't.
