New Tremecs
Hi gentlemen (and others) and a Happy New Year!
I note some debate about a 'new' Tremec 5 speed. Check out the TTC homepage and look at their January 2004 press release of the TKO 500 (500 ft/lbs)and the TKO 600 (600 ft/lbs). Some nice cutaways and spec's there indicate them to be the same or similar case as the 3550/TKO but with stronger innards where it matters. Also includes their own neater rear shifter.
I'm about to install my new ('poverty pack') Tremec 3550 in place of the ever faithful Toploader. Pulled the Toploader out last night and will be machining (shortening) the input shaft of the Tremec this week. Then to install it, locate a speedo drive, put in some slippery stuff and away we go.
Just won't seem right making that extra gearshift...
Stay well guys.
Chris
