Adding an overdrive gear makes a big difference to driveability. Putting a TKO600 5 spd in my 70 AMX required cutting the tunnel to have proper clearance and the right driveline angle. That was an unpleasant finding.
Tremec recently introduced the TKX 5 speed. Has a smaller case, offers close and wide ratio options, and choice of OD ratio options. Has same torque rating as the TKO, but higher rpm capability and advertises better shifting. The smaller case should offer more fitment flexibility without requiring cutting up your transmission tunnel. Silversport and Modern Driveline have posted lengthy videos covering the new TKX. Here's a short post from SST. Although I got my TKO from SST, and had a good experience, not shilling for them, just thought this video was concise. Search and you'll find 30+ minute videos from both suppliers. |

I was looking at this transmission it looks great on the inside built well and should be a perfect fit for a t10 replacment

There's a long waiting list for these right now,
but it seems like it would be worth it. There's a Chevy and a Ford version, and I think you could get bells for either. I just wonder where the shifter ends up compared to the 71-74 4speed Javelins.
