Well i got it all ready to go and i cant wait to get it in. I am putting the the bell housing on the tranny first them im putting them on the car together, cause when i put the bell on first with my T-5 it was a bitch to line everything up. I got all the stuff i should need. It looks like i am going to have to lose the bracket that has the hangers for my Xpipe but i guess that is not really a necessity. Well if you guys have done the install and have any tips or things that might make it different than just bolting in a T-5 let me kow.

Here is the TKO-500 with the bellhousing and clutch fork on it

Here is my busted T-5 in the TKOs box

And here is all the other stuff that i need to put the TKO in Fluid, 31 spline slip yoke, Driveshaft Spacer, Offset trans mount, and the handle from my Tri-ax. Anyone want to buy a Tri-ax base?

Yeah im going to stick with the Tremec Shifter for now. with the Tri-ax handle. My roommate has one in his 98 cobra and it felt fine when i drove it. Im running a Spec 1 clutch which i have had for 400miles its a little on/off but i like it so far.
