Tko
Does anyone know where and the approximate cost to have a new TKO converted to a TKO-2; want the .82 5th gear
thanks gn |
Not sure if they can help or not but a phone call won't hurt....
Dynamic Racing // Plantation, Fl. 954-881-4842 They sell Tremec 3550's and TKO's.....good luck, Earl |
I'd go with the .6 5th gear myself. .8 is just TO high!

It depends somewhat on the rear end.
My car with a 3.08 rear end; which makes for a very nice 1st, 2nd feel; can't be driven in 5th less than 80 mph. gn |
I have a TKO-2 in mine and I really like 5th for cruising at speeds over 50. I say cruising b/c the car is practically idling at under 1500 RPM. It's nice and quiet so you can actually have a conversation with a passenger. I don't know what the ratio of my rear end is so can't help you there. All I know is it's a big difference from 4th to 5th with 5th clearly being an overdrive gear.
good luck. |
I don't recall the exact quote but it was way too cost prohibitive for me. I'm guessing about $750-$1000. Changing the gear isn't the only thing that needs to be replaced for a .82 ratio. That doesn't include R&R of the tranny either.

Niles,
To change the gears would be very costly, your best bet would be to sell your .64 TKO and the purchase a new .82 TKO600. jimig@standardtransmission.com |
