Need to buy Tremec TKO 600 - where to buy?

I've heard a rumor that TTC/Tremec has a mandated "mininum street price" in the dealer license. Is this true?
Does anyone know what the mandated minimum price on the TKO 600 is? What's the dealer cost?
Just curious how the market works for these things. It seems odd that for an approximately $2000 item everyone's within about $100 of each other.

I bought mine from Standard Trans(Jimi G). Couldn't be more pleased with the service, knowledge, BEST PRICE, and everything was at my front door in two days to Delaware.

I know who fed you this. Probably also told you Ford Racing could lose the Tremec line due to this... I'm sure Tremec wants to upset Ford with all those transmissions they buy for their production vehicles...

No conspiracies, Jay. I was told this conversationally. I have no idea what you're talking about re: Ford and Tremec, nor do I have any particular interest in it.

Standard Transmission gets my thumbs up.

That is true, Tremec has set a selling price that the distributors can not go under, the TKO500 have to sell for $1895.00 and the TKO600 is $1975.00. jimig@standardtransmission.com

Thanks, Jimi. I figured it was something like that. There was too much similarity in everyones pricing to be a coincidence. Thanks.
