My TKO600 is pretty darn smooth. I can't remember the last time I missed a gear, and it shifts fine at 6000. I attribute all of this to the fact that I read the "IMPORTANT! READ THIS!" sheet that comes from Tremec that says to baby it for the first 500 miles, which I did. I have my rev limiter set at 6400, and I bounce off it maybe once a year, and it shifts just fine just below that limit, which is usually right around 6000 to 6200. I wonder how many "poorly shifting" TKOs were hammered right out of the box before they were adequately broken in.
