I don't doubt that the .140 is an issue but does it directly result in a breakage problem the we all know about? Im not seeing that.

Agreed....
I've moved a lot of TKO's and my supplier has moved probably 100x that....neither one of us have ever heard of or seen this failure before.
You can not preach this as gospel, when it's the only incident that has ever been shown. |

I have had 3 TKOs in my SPF replica and logged over 50,000 miles on them. Road racing, drag racing and spirited street driving. The last 40,000+ miles have been behind a very stout running Roush 427R. I have yet to trash a gear. With all do respect, I think the 3rd gear failure fear is BS. I do think that the TKO 600 is very difficult to shift quickly and reliably at high rpm. Brent has mentioned mods that will help this. I am sure there are numerous folks that can do these mods. I can say for sure that these people do good work and that their upgrade makes the TKO 600 shift much smoother and very reliably at 6200+ rpm. WELCOME TO LIBERTYS HIGH PERFORMANCE |
