I have driven other TKO600 cars where that was not the case. I can 2-3 shift at high RPMs with no problems whatsoever. With other TKO600s, that's not the case. Now, is it possible that there's a quality control issue at Tremec that accounts for all the differences? Maybe. But I'm still betting on the bell housing alignment. Fortunately, I'm told the QuickTime BH is way easier to dial in than the old Lakewood. Anyway, that's my two cents and I'm stickin' to it.
Thank you for your reply, Yes I am also being told the QT bell housing mated to the new version to the shelby block may not need adjustments at all... but I will check... ty
