    These two projects incorporate several unique solutions tailored to the specific vehicles and \u00a0their power plants.[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    CARBON FIBER SYNCRO’S<\/h4>\n

    improve the \u201cshiftability\u201d of the Tremec TKO above 5500 RPM. This single improvement works well with LS engine applications and Ford Mod \u00a0motors \u2013 engines that spin efficiently to higher RPMs.[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    TKO 5-SPEED<\/h4>\n

    Capable of supporting 600 ft\/lbs of torque\u2026 the TKO600 will provide great reliability. The helical cut gears provide smooth and quiet operation, same as you would expect from a new production vehicle. All new Tremec transmissions come with a 1 year limited warranty from the date of first use.[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    HYDRAULIC CLUTCH<\/h4>\n

    SHIFT RAIL UPGRADE<\/h4>\n

    While the TKO series transmissions shift well, \u00a0there are modifications which can be made to ensure the gear you intend is the gear you get.[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

    SIDE MOUNTED SHIFTER<\/h4>\n

    The standard configuration of the TKO transmission places the shifter near the center of the tunnel. \u00a0Our side shifter modification works well to position the shifter as in the original in cars like the Corvette.[vc_column_text][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”37582″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
