I started with a TKO and bought a aftermarket shifter which made a little differents. When I had 12,000 miles on it I sold it and bought a TKO600.
I have about 30,000 miles on the TKO 600. It was hard to shift when new. Got better when I had about 5,000 miles on it. But when I try to shift fast from 2nd to 3th I would miss 3th. Sometime last year it got so bad that I contacted Liberty Gears. They did a street upgrade for a little over $300.

I love it! Can not miss third even if I'm trying. If I buy a TKO it will have the street upgrade before I put it into a car.

When I say "fast shift" I mean I let off the gas and I use the clutch to shift.
Before I had to shift to 5th in a H pattern, now I just push the shifter a little to the right and forward. I never miss 5th. Fast and easy.
Yep I like this trannie.

It took us 1/2 to tear down the trannie and 2 hrs to put it together.
