tko 600

[cobras]

what are key things to look for to know if the tranny is a tko 600 or a tko 500 or lesser the tranny is in the car, can anyone tell me what to look for or how to check

Good question but I do not have an answer an easy answer I know the input shafts have a different number of splines. They have different torque ratings and different ratios so make sure to match with your rearend. Difference in price is neglibigle $100.

I bought the TKO 600 because of the 2.87 1 st gear. In a Cobra the weak link is the tires unless your running slicks.

A metal tag with the TCET # is held on by one of the bolts connecting the main case to the tail housing.

Cobras - Maybe different gears, but the TKO 500 vs. the TKO 600 isn't going to make much difference in the price of the car.
