Designed to
be a replacement of the earlier model TR-3550 and TKO,
the TKO-500 and TKO-600 has been significantly upgraded,
making it more robust, flexible and versatile.
The TKO is ideal for high torque motors for the both the
street and performance racing applications. Several
aftermarket upgrades are available such as carbon fiber
synchro rings, shifter rods, polished gears to reduce
friction and Cryogenic treat of the gear for added
torque capacity.
Features
& Benefits:
- Higher center distance (83 mm) from main shaft to
counter shaft allows for larger gear sizes and higher
torque carrying capacity
- Close gear ratio (2.87 & 3.27) models available
for high-performance racing applications
- Robust transmission design with internal 3-rail
shift system with cast iron shift forks
- Tapered roller bearings on input, output and
counter shafts improve performance (reduced noise
factor).
- All gears and shafts made from special grade steel
(ASTM 4615) that permits increased torque carrying
capacity
- Single-piece countershaft that better handles
increased torque carrying capacity
- Equipped with a high-performance short-throw
billet aluminum shifter that isolates road noise,
while providing clean crisp shifts
- Neutral safety switch and back-up light sensor
- Flexible and versatile:
- Eight shifter locations available
- Dual electronic and mechanical speedometer
pick-ups
- Three unique cross member-mounting
configurations
- Three different input shafts available
- Three available overdrive ratios
- .64 or .68 ratios reduce engine rpm to a level
that makes it fun to drive besides enhancing the
fuel efficiency
- .82 ratio is ideal for long straight-aways for
high performance racing
