TREMEC TR-3550
The TR-3550 five-speed overdrive transmission was developed
to provide great torque capacity and is ideal for
specialty sports cars equipped with high torque
engines. The 3550 line developed into a TKO and TKOII.
In 2004 the 3550 and TKO was replaced by the
TKO-500/600 product line.
Today the 3550 and TKO is only available as a used or
rebuilt unit. Service parts and upgrades are available
such as carbon fiber synchro rings and steel forks.
