couple quick searches didnt find anything.

Just wondering if anybody had switched to the 5th gen camaro trans and found fitment issues or not. Saw a couple on the forums and they're going sometimes for the same price as a decent miles t56 so I was curious

They're still pretty new for people to start retrofitting, but I don't see any reason why it won't fit. I don't have any measurements to go by but from what I have seen, it is almost identical to the T56.

I was looking into them as well and have that they are not direct bolt on as compared to the T56's.

To be converted, the transmission has to be disassembled completely to modify the mainshaft, clutster shaft, and other parts, as well as the tailhousing being modified to fit the larger shaft and one piece cluster. The shifter rail is a custom built piece as well to fit the magnum transmission with the F-body tailhousing. We also install a custom reluctor ring for the F-body

Those transmissions will not fit an f-body car. You would have to buy one from D&D, RS Gear, or some other transmission shop that puts the f-body tail housing onto the Magnum. That is what i did.

The info is not exactly clear.
TR6060 are rated at 700 tq while T56's are rated about half that. However, T56's where really under rated.
