I believe 05-07 C6's still have T-56 transmissions, and can probably be directly swapped into a C5?

08+ have TR6060 transmissions, which will swap with a few modifications, but to swap a TR6060 and C6 rear differential together takes considerably more modifications.

Here's a recent thread about it:

Default Anybody done a C6 Z06 T56 swap into a C5 Z06?

I was looking on a gear ratio site and noticed that the gear ratio of the 2007 T56 transmission is much different than the 2003 T56. I happen to have access to a 2007 T56 out of a Z06 that I can put in my 2003 Z.

I currently have the drivetrain out of the Z. so the swap would be fairly easy.

What I don't know is what mods will be needed to make it fit.

Any insight?

There was a thread in here or the Z06 page where someone did it (IIRC it was a member named Pumba). It was a lot more involved than you would have thought. The newer tranny is longer and even with swapping in the newer diff, it's a lot of work. If you have a real reason to need to do it, it can be done, but it's not a simple or inexpensive swap.
