Re: Anyone Running a Tremec TKO-500/600 5 Speed Overdrive

I had a TKO600 in my '69 Camaro and it worked great. Very, very happy with that trans!!! One thing to note, make absolutely sure you dial in the bellhousing as per the Tremec specs. They have very specific run out specs and the only people I have ever heard of having issues, did not dial it in. Most high quality bellhousing should come into spec but some factory ones are off. This will cause hard shifting and wear to the input shaft, which will kill one of these.

Outside of that, I would drop one in anything, in a minute... assuming I had the money.
