Any of you guys who installed a TKO-600 get it to the track yet? I am interested in hearing how well it performed as far as shifting under load.

Thanks

Never got a chance to :(
Spun my Harmonic Damper on race day.

BTW, I tried to reply to your email, and it rejected me graemlins/clonk.gif

Any plans on getting to the track soon? Other than that, how is the trans? How is the shifting?

Send me another e-mail, I should receive it.

Shifting is really nice, I love the trans. The overdrive is VERY nice to have with 4.11's. I couldnt be happier with the trans.
Probably wont race anytime soon as the 489 is coming out. Selling the car so I can go to school. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Trans is going with car (selling point) :(
Makes me sad to get rid of her, but education is more important right now...
I can afford to race later :D :D

Well i have good news and bad news. Good news is they shift great on the road and track, on that aspect my buddy couldnt be happier. The bad... he has a TKO500 in his wifes camaro, an a TKO600 in his Chevy II and 1 in his boys mustang. I know for a fact that the camaro and the Chevy II LEAK!!! And its not just a drop or 2, its a small puddle on both!!!

- Matt </font>[/QUOTE]Is it coming through the center of the speedo
adapter? If so, a small o-ring should fix the problem.

That's the only leakage problem I can think of that I've seen/heard of.
