Looking for a new or gently used tko 600 tranny. Can anyone help me out?

What 5th gear ratio are you interested in the 0.64 or 0.82. If you are interested in the 0.64 I have one with 500 miles that I may consider selling. I would like to switch to the 0.82 fifth gear ratio. Email me if you are interested. mschmid5@columbus.rr.com

Call JimiG at Standardtransmission.com.

I got a good deal on a new unit and it hasn't had any problems.

I have a TKO 600 with the .64 OD with 183 miles. I too am switching to the .82 overdrive. Originally, I had ordered the .82 and was sent the wrong trans. My engine builder said to give it a try and it just isn't working out.
My engine is a stroked Windsor with cam specs of 248/252 duration and 612/621 lift. The engine is still loping just a little bit at 1800 rpms and doesn't clear out until about 2200, so the overdrive just really isn't practical until 75mph.
The rear gear in the car is a 3.31, if I had a 3.54 or 3.71 gear the .64 overdrive would work just fine. Also if the cam in my motor was a little tamer I would stick with the .64 OD. The true overdrive is really nice to have and if it wasn't so difficult to change the rear end on the jag suspension to a 3.54 I would just change gears and keep the larger overdrive.
If you are interested in my trans just PM me and I will get back with you. But make sure you look at your cam specs and the rear gear before making your decision. Take a look at the gear calculator over at secondstrike.com under tech tips, this too will help out in making your decision.

Is he going to replace the tranny with a 0.82 for free or how much more money is it going to cost you?
