I just got a new TKO (I bought it before the new ones came out) I had a richmond 5 in my Era car, it shifted like a turd but it was bullet proof. I think my new TKO shifts perfectly. Un like other manual transmissions, you need to let the TKO find 3rd by it self, it you try to aim it into third this is where you have issues. I spoke to the guy at modern drive line and he was the one who spoke of this. He is spot on... just push up out of 2nd and it will find third itself... It shifts perfectly... However you often need to line up the syncros to get it into reverse. (put it in 2nd then reverse lines up great)... but other than that I am very happy with the TKO transmission. I have a 3.54 rear diff and a road race version of the TKO (.82 5th) geared perfectly.
