Thanks for all the info guys. Eshader you are the only one I have heard with a complaint about the Tremec TKO600. Very discouraging to hear. Does any one else have trouble with shifting and worse 3rd gear getting chewed up? Not sure I'm interested in a 6th gear though.

Rick thanks for mentioning the Richmond super street 5, that sounds like a good alternative. I'm looking and listening.

Truth of the matter is I want the 5 speed to use 5th gear to settle in for freeway cruising. Drop the rpm's to a reasonable level and keep 1st-4th for performance driving.

My toploader is close ratio and just changing the rear end will drop rpm's some in 4th but 1st gear becomes very tall.

I have not heard any one with specifics regarding the external slave conversion. What units or part numbers do you have that will fit the CR with a big block?

I still have some homework to do and will get back with what I find.

Thanks,
John
