Well, in the end I have decided to get the .82 5th gear TKO600.
It will probably help my Cobra reach a higher top speed than with the .64.
Too steep an RPM drop with the .64 and probably only good for lazy cruising, but for chasing Porsches and fast Audis the .82 is the better choice.
I am getting prepared to do some crossmember surgery in order to accomodate the TKO mounting support, which is about 2.3 " further back compared to the TL.

My Contemporary Cobra has a crossmember tube with the gearbox mounting plate. The 2.3" offset practically hits the top of the tube with no space for the rubber mount in between

Anyone has experience and pictures of such a job?
