[smkshw]

i was just wondering what the difference was with the hd one and tko 600,but i guess the one i have to go with is the 600....

but..

Just put one in and its bad...

are you serious?....april fools or what!

 

[smkshw]

just saw the tranny thread...

If i were in the market for a new TKO i would go straight to liberty, hanlon, or pro motion to buy one. My personal first choice would be liberty, for about $400 more you get surface enhancement on the gears, an internal linkage upgrade, libertys front bearing support, and carbon fiber blocker rings.

X2 for Liberty TKO

This is what i was referring to. You just put a clutch in and need another????????

Pretty sure he means he just bought a new clutch for his t5 and now he has to buy a new one because the tremec has a 26 spline input shaft. You can replace just the disc but clutch discs arent cheap either.

i meant i need a 26 spline clutch now and i have to replace my brand new act clutch?...just put it in...lol

you will also need a bellhousing.

 

[smkshw]

ya, need a few things,gona be another 3g plus to the stack of bills....lol

 

[smkshw]

well i feel like a moron!....thought they were 2 different trannies.....what an idiot!,just different 5 gear ratios.....im learning as i go..lol...anyway im going with the .82,dont do much highway driving....buddy has a hook up with ford so ill get everything i need a little cheaper...witch is much needed!

since i need different yokes,for the extra money,anyone think its worth getting an aluminum drive shaft?

 

[90lxcoupe]

yes def worth it for the aluminum driveshaft. IMO The .82 overdrive is a total waste unless you are road racing or something like that.

really?...i hardly ever go on long highway cruises,rarely in 5th for long where im from anyway,so i wouldnt mind a stronger pulling fifth...

 

[90lxcoupe]

I mean, if you spend a lot of time making 100+ MPH pulls than get the .82 fifth, but if you ever go on one long road trip you may regret that decision. Just my .02 cents. Resale value on the trans will take a pretty big hit with that gear too.

 

[smkshw]

your right understandable....but im not worried....its a pig on gas any way,definitely didnt build it for good gas milage....lol...
