Did you dial in the bell housing? What was you runout numbers?

Typically, hard to get into 1st gear points to a clutch issue while hard to get into 3rd usually points to driver error. Now, before you guys jump on me for saying that, consider this.....
The gates on the TKO are very close together. When shifting from 2nd into 3rd, if you move the shifter up at an angle trying to "guide it" into 3rd, you will likely miss it every time. Try throwing the shifter STRAIGHT out of 2nd and it will find 3rd on all it's own.

When did you buy this gearbox? There were some issues with the shift lugs back in the summer of '05 that Tremec has since cleared up.


By the way....The only 2 fluids that have approved for use the TKO are either ATF Dexron III or GM Syncromesh 12345349.
