      TKO600 Transmission Swap Progress

      I'm the the process of swapping a Tremec TKO600 5-speed for my TH-400 automatic.



      Pedals are swapped:



      I just finished fabricating the transmission crossmember today. I started with the reproduction TH-400 crossmember that was in the car, and wound up with this:







      I'll be using a Keisler hydraulic throwout bearing setup, a McLeod aluminum flywheel and a custom 12" single disc clutch setup (also from McLeod). At the moment none of these parts have arrived yet.

      Still to do are to clean up some of the underdash wiring, cut the floor for the manual transmission, order a driveshaft, and index in the bellhousing. I'm hoping to have the project done in early October, and try it out at the track (road course) in early November.

      Are you going to SOWS? (enjoyed your video clips, BTW). I'll be there if I can finish preparing my car in time.


      Very nice work!
