  Tremec is an OE transmission provider that manufactures handbook transmissions for Ford, Common Motors, Chrysler, Aston Martin, TVR, and several distinct medium and hefty duty truck applications. Their TKO is a high strength 5-speed overdrive handbook transmission that was at first intended to be retrofitted into Mustang Fox entire body autos to exchange the weaker T5, but will also bolt up to the standard Ford four speed passenger car bellhousing. When Tremec recognized that fans have been adapting it for GM programs, they decided to make it a little simpler for folks (and capitalize on a huge chance, also) by making a GM version of the TKO.
  
  The GM version will bolt immediately up to nearly any normal Chevrolet/Buick/Olds/Pontiac passenger automobile four-velocity bellhousing. Though only Ford and GM variations of the TKO are available, Mopar lovers can get all the custom parts they need to adapt a Ford edition TKO to practically any Mopar V8 motor. The TKO has by no means been OE devices in any manufacturing automobile, though its great-grandpa, the Tremec TR-3550 was in a restricted-creation Ford Mustang Cobra in the mid nineties. The TKO is purely an aftermarket transmission developed for high-performance automobiles.
  
  There are 3 fundamental types offered, the TKO-five hundred and two variants of the TKO-600. The broad-ratio TKO-five hundred is rated for a steady 500 lb.-ft. of torque, and gives a deep 3.27:1 initial gear ratio and a .sixty eight:1 overdrive ratio in fifth gear. The close-ratio TKO-600 is rated for a constant 600 lb.-ft. of torque, and has a 2.87:one initial gear and possibly a .82:1 overdrive or a .sixty four:1 overdrive ratio in fifth gear. The rated torque capacities are stated to be very conservative, as there are a substantial quantity of automobiles in the subject with engines that exceed the torque rating by a huge margin, and failures are rare.
  
  The TKO uses a 3-rail inside shift mechanism, reducing any exterior linkage and the troubles that go with it. The quick toss billet aluminum shifter can be eliminated, flipped one hundred eighty degrees, and then reinstalled to offer an further shift place. Optional personalized shifters are accessible in many distinct configurations to mimic the shift positions in a variety of musclecars. The TKO makes use of solid iron shift forks, a one-piece counter shaft, and tapered roller bearings on the input, output, and counter shafts for additional power.
  
  Every single TKO transmission supplies both mechanical and electronic speedometer outputs. The mechanical output is a Ford style, but you can get hybrid speedometer cables for GM or Mopar purposes. They also attribute a reverse mild swap and a neutral safety switch that can be wired into your vehicle's existing harness. The transmission has an inner reverse lockout characteristic that stops you from unintentionally likely from fifth gear into reverse. You have to go into the middle of the "Neutral" gate prior to it will enable you to shift into reverse.
  
  The Tremec TKO is an exceptional option for the musclecar or street rod operator that enjoys rowing his very own gears and would like to generate his auto to distant vehicle shows or other events. I have a single in my 1967 Pontiac Firebird and have driven a variety of other automobiles with TKO transmissions set up. The overdrive can make a enormous big difference on the freeway, and there aren't numerous other transmission alternatives out there with overdrive that will stand up to the kind of energy that the TKO can just take. None of the other overdrive transmissions available at this time offer you as a lot versatility as the Tremec TKO.
