TKO 600 ....Anyone done one?

Well, as usual I'm battling over the decision of which 5 speed transmission to install in the Duster. There is some good info on this site regarding TKO and T-5 transmissions. I've had some members PM me with some additional information and opinions about this subject and I appreciate the input. The way it stands, the TKO is stronger but needs a chunk of the case removed (which I can't see as a good thing) and costs alot just to do that mod and also needs mods to the torsion bar crossmember. The guys who sell both types of transmissions admit that alot of people who get a TKO don't like the notchy shifting but get used to it. The T-5 is lighter, smaller, shifts more smoothly and has less
parasitic HP loss but isn't as strong. Even with internal modifications to make it drag race ready (G Force or American Powertrain) it's not as strong as the TKO 600. So, what to do, flip a coin? Stay Tuned! Kev
