Default Just the overdrive gearing

Snakebit In the info I have the only different is the gearing for overdrive. Not 100% sure but some racing forums only let you run a 1-1 top gear. The changes I was told from Richmond that the internals are bigger and stronger. The parts from the super street will not work or fit in the orginial 5 speed box or the road race box. I am happy with my 6spd richmond. The only down side of buying it was not finding out about the 450 HP and Torque until after owning it. The only advantage of owning a TKO 600 is shifter locations and reverse switch in the trans. It seams that this trans needs another $800.00 to make it better for higher HP cars. They blueprint it, polish the gears, cyrno and heat treat the gears for stronger strength. The Richmond trans, last I heard was using 9310 steel for the internal parts. The TKO are running 4615. If you are looking at getting a new trans for the cobra, the super street is a drop in and has over drive. TKO has a different out put yoke and is wider than the Richmond. You will have to check out which side the speedo mounts to. Rick L Happy holidays.
