Gforce longevity?

If you want to go fast, you would by a c-4! But if you're going to stay stick, how much hp/tq are you trying to make? It is true that the gear materials in some racing 5 speeds are softer, they handle the shock better but do not last nearly as long. you trade longevity on the street for reliability at the track!

No changes are needed other than the bellhousing and rear crossmember for a Tremec 3550. I had a 3550 in my previous 5.0 Mustang and never feared breaking it from hard shifting or high mileage. As long as they are kept lubricated with the correct GM Synchromesh Black lubricant, they are just about bulletproof

The TKO 500 & 600 are upgrades from the 3550 unit.

The TKO 500 uses a different rear yolk which normally comes with the trans when you buy the package. It uses the same clutch disk as the T5.


The TKO 600 uses a 26 spline 10.5" Chevy clutch disk because it has a 26 spline input shaft. It also a different rear yolk which normally comes with the trans when you buy the package.
