TKO 600 Shifting-Had Enough Finally

[eschaider]

Here are some pics of the Tremec modified Midshift Lug that Forte (and I suspect Hanlon also) ships. This first pic is the top view;


The white arrows point to the light bevels that Tremec puts on the shift dog to help the shift gate transition from second gear into third gear.

Here is another oblique view from the right with a little more clarity;



The bevel is more visible but no larger here.

The pic below is the same shift dog with an oblique view from the left;



My TKO already had the modified shift dog, I suspect, because I originally ordered the trans with the mid shift conversion from Keisler when they were still around. If you have the standard shift location you will need the lug that Forte and I suspect Hanlon provide when you order their Midshift kit.

This is a pic out of the Tremec Midshift conversion instructions that shows where this lug fits in the bigger picture.



You can download the Midshift conversion instructions directly from the Tremec site.

I believe the carbon fiber faced synchros and the new shift rails with the improved interlock timing will make a huge difference even in the rear shifter position units.

And, just in case you have never seen one, this is what a carbon fiber faced synchro looks like;
