Blueprinting a TKO 600

ERA2188 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-30-2007, 02:30 PM

Just curious as to what Blueprinting a transmission accomplishes? Would this theoretically, cover issues such as the reported "STICKING" problems that have been reported over the past few months? Have there been any further developments on this issue? Thanks, RD

I've installed a new TKO 600 with big spline/Genesis 427 in my ERA with no issues. Now have 1200 miles on both engine and tranny. Spline conversion done at Forte's. If bellhousing alignment is not correct or wrong lube is used for break in you'll have issues. If it is a quality issue with the new gearbox they show up in the first 200 miles or so, but very few turn out to be the gearbox.

Yes there have been further stickings; no there hasn't been any answer as to "why." If you have a Tremec, don't park in gear; chock your wheels.
