There are many things "wrong" with the TKO 600 and the other members of theTKO family. These shortcomings have been documented in part in this and similar threads. If you are comfortable with your TKO purchase that's excellent. Don't worry be happy, as the old song suggests. There are many other owners that have buyers remorse and are not at all happy and yet others who experience recurring failures like Hauss who continually experiences fifth gear failures.

Shortcomings not withstanding the TKO. 600 is stronger than either the Top Loader or the Richmond 5 speed. Using either of those two transmissions would be a step backwards strength and durability wise.
