Wll Brent you know the specs on my TKO, since you sold it and the clutch/pressure plate to me. It's the "road race" version, which as I near as I can figure amounts to a .8 overdrive instead of a .6 overdrive. The first four gear ratios appear to be the same?

I also got the Tri-ax shifter upgrade and am using the stock "short throw" handle that came with the trans. Here's what I've found.

I can feel slightly more tension shifting into second with less tension in third and fourth. Not enough extra tension in 2nd that I ever noticed before THIS thread! At Infineon I was shifting at 6,400, shifting HARD too, with the SHORT shifter, stabbing the clutch and jamming the gears (no mercy). I actually had to slow down the shift a hair into 2nd AND 3rd because of the tires (SLICKS, no less) were breaking loose to hard. Real hairy when that happens coming out of a corner, darn near spun out and did get in the dirt doing that one on corner.

Maybe the lighting fast shifts have to do with the Tri Ax and the short shift handle, whatever, I LOVE THIS THING!!!! It and the new clutch really rock.

Stock 40 lb iron flywheel, by the way, but I don't give it enough time between shifts to even think about "slowing down".
