Alright, I had just about decided on the Tremec TKO II with the .83 5th gear. So, I made a couple of calls to check prices and availability and was told that the version with the .83 5th is a road race tranny that has a hardened gear set which is not very conducive to driving on the street (which is where I'll be spending 99.99% of my driving time). I asked if it was possible to get the .83 5th without the hardended gear set and was told it was not possible.

Is this accurate? Can anyone shed any light on this? Can anyone with the road race tranny comment on the shifting?

Also, I'd be interested to know where you found the best deal on your Tremec.

Thanks in advance,
Mike
