Deciding whether to go with a toploader or TKO-600 is really a personal decision (trading off something that's period correct vs. having the benefits of an overdrive).

Good luck.

twobjshelbys owns CSX4005LA, I believe. To the best of my recollection, which isn't very good, we don't have a member with a CSX4500 series car. Per Computerworks (Ron), from an earlier thread, the 4500 series are carbon fiber cars.

In the Year 2010, IMHO, it doesn't make sense to install Toploader in a non CSX2000 or CSX3000 car. I don't want to drive down the freeway at 3,000 +/- RPM and wear out my muy expensivo engine sooner. A 5-speed all the way for me.

However, many will disagree, but that's OK, we all like different flavors.
