I had a close ratio Toploader from a 67 mustang and after going through what it would be to rebuild it and the price of a new TKO600....plus a 5th gear... so I sold the Toploader and TKO600 was choosen. I had a ride in tkb289's and really liked how the TKO felt in his car. If you get any info on the TOB do send my way... If I gather anything, I will send it your way....
Salud...

I am liking what I see with this TKO 600. Any idea what a perfect condition Toploader is worth. Only 7000 miles, no issues at all!

Dave, with a shifter included, it should be worth at least USD1500....

Glen,
I would be keeping the shifter so I could use it with the TKO via an adapter. What would you think for just the tranny?

I have been doing lots of research over the last week on the TKO 600. They do have a few issues with one being 2nd to 3rd shift. I ended up talking to liberty transmission WELCOME TO LIBERTYS HIGH PERFORMANCE
I talked to Paul. He was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to talk to. They have a whole modification package called "UPGRADED-SYNCHRONIZED"that was extremely reasonable. It includes:
Bronze Shift Fork Pads
Surface Enhancement* Processed Hubs & Sliders
Internal Shift Linkage Upgrade
Liberty's Exclusive Threaded Front Cluster Bearing Support **
Carbon Fiber Blocking Rings 2nd, 3rd & 4th Gear
It only added about 300.00 to the 2395.00 original price tag. Basically they make money off the orig cost and do the Mods for price of parts only. He said if you bought the tranny elsewhere and wanted this mod package done by them, it would be over 900.00. He also told me everything I would need for my Cobra using my present bell housing. I would still be under 3000.00 total, except for shipping.
I need to call them back to make sure the dimension will fit in the tunnel.
One thing that is awesome is the 3 shifter location options you have. I would use the rear position which is 19 1/2" from the bell housing to the neutral position. My present present situation is 22" which is to far back for me. I think 19 1/2 would be perfect. That will probably mean tunnel hole relocation issue for me. Either fixing it or purchasing a new tunnel and carpet for the tunnel. Anybody know how much that would cost?

Dave, do you mean you would be using your Ford or Hurst shifter, and adapting that to a TKO600??
Cheers,

Yes, that would be my plan. What is the alternative? I do want to retain the 4 speed reversed handle look
