I haven't been around HD for a long time, but I have only seen the term MT6 in one place.

MT6 is the default filename extension of a SERT map

It's not obvious to me. In what context did you hear this term?

Is it Manual Transmission 6-Speed? This would be my guess. GM designates their transmissions this way, e.g., A4 = automatic/4-speed and M6 = manual/6-speed.

+1 sounds right to me. All of the SERT tunes are a "mt6" file type. Otherwise Manual Trans 6 speed.

while MT could stand for "manual transmission", I doubt that the 6 part of it has anything to do with 6 speed. Earlier versions of the SERT software read MT2 and MT5 files. You can check this by opening your SERT software and choose File->Load Tuning File. When the file open dialog box comes up then drop down the box that says "Files of Type".

I would suggest that the number probably has more to do with format changes of how the calibration file is stored as the software became more sophisticated.
