Alright guys i just installed a TKO600 in the stang and have noticed that when the car is in 5th gear, the shifter is really noisy. It has an MGW shifter in it which i thought were supposed to be quiet. Anybody have this tranny that is also noisy in fifth? It driving me nuts.

i have a tk600 also that i just put in. I noticed the same thing. I run a steeda shifter so its prob the gear box. I Love the gear box but the 5th gear thing is a lil annoying its not obnoxious though.

I have a 3550 and it whines a lot. After a few thousand miles it did get quieter. Run a stock style rubber isolator over the shifter hole and it'll drown it out some.
