I've sold a lot of TKO's and I've never had one go back for 3rd gear issues. The shifting issue is there, but it appears that the TKO needs a break-in period before it smooths out. If you're needing to speed shift about 6000-6200, then I would suggest some blueprinting work to the shift finger, gear cones, and synchronizer hubs. An aftermarket shifter works wonders as well.
Not a fan at all of the Magnum T-56. In comparison to a TKO 600, you get a transmission that is much longer, heavier, much bigger around, and much more expensive. The 6th gear is not a perk in most cases. If you're trying to get one to bolt up to an engine (especially an FE) with a twin disc, then it requires more machine work to the midplate, along with some extra parts.
We offer the TKO 600 with some upgrades that will extend the capacity past the 700 lb-ft mark, and will still come out cheaper than a T-56.
