Re: Tremec TKO swap

^^^what he said. The hole on the truck belhousing is too big for any of your performance transmissions. If you went with an aftermarket steel belhousing they only come with the small hole, as far as I know. You can avoid all this and the expense of the TKO, belhousing and everything else and find a T56. Yes it's not a TKO but is a lot cheaper. I found one from a 95 camaro at pic-a-part not long ago and paid $185 out the door. My early flywheel was $500 but you can find them for less. I used the old camaro clutch, came with a Hurst shifter, got a nice hurst stick on ebay for $30. Stock pedals, old used wilwood master. All in and now 20,000 miles ( its my daily driver) I don't have more than $800 into the trans total. Whats a TKO gona run $3500 +?

Almost forgot, $38 for f***ing clutch cover (pressure plate) bolts! Only ARP makes them and they r torque yeld one time use bull****.
