Hi Guys
Well I recieved my TKO today with all the parts for the conversion from Keisler, only thing bothering me is the box has TKO 500 on the side and I ordered a 600, how can you tell the 2 apart ? I will be calling them tommorow but I cant see any specific difference, what ya think?

Thanks

You can tell the difference by looking at the thin metal ID tag on the passenger side of the trans case. You should see a number that says TCET5009 for the TKO600. If it says TCET4616 then you have a TKO500. It is possible that they took it out of a TKO600 box and shipped in a TKO500 box.
If the metal label has been removed for some reason then you will be able to tell when you are driving the car and you notice thet the first gear is very short (TKO500's have a very short first gear).
I hope this helps.

Did you get the conversion that locates the shifter in the original position? If you did will you elaborate a little on it, as this is one of my options since I want to run the original console.

I had it left alone in its regular location , furthest back it could go
I am running no console and have no hole in the floor so it didnt matter to me, I'm only 5' 4" and hate stretching for the shifter so this should work out very good for me.

my Humble apollogies for not buying this damn thing from you, looks like they sent me a 500 not the 600, this has turned out to be a real pain in the ass, they even told me to look on the tag, if it has 5009 its a 600 if it has 5008 its a 500, it has neither the tag has TCET4616 like you said meaning a 500 *%!@*

Thanks for the compliment. At least you found out before you installed it. I am sure it will be exchanged promptly.
Enjoy your new TKO.
