TKO Parts. Where to get ??
I'm trying to sort out the shifting ( into 3rd ) problem with my TKO 600.
I've checked the bellhousing alignment / runout.
I've got .0035" lateral runout , and .0025" difference in the parallel mounting surface of the trans. compared to the flywheel/engine.
So , I think there is not a problem there.
I also checked the clutch air gap / freeplay.
I've got .050" air gap.
Tremec ( courtesy of Jeff at Classic Chevy 5-speed ) sent me some new shifter lugs free of charge.
I'm also gonna' install a new front input shaft seal , along with the big o-ring on the countershaft plug. ( It was seeping fluid anyhow )
I've got the front seal , big o-ring , shifter lugs , and a new 3rd gear synchro blocker .
What I need is:
The 6 o-rings that go on the shift shafts .
Where the heck can I get them ?
I got the other parts from Southern Gear , here in Atlanta , but they say they can't get the o-rings ...
Somebody help me out !!
I gotta get this car back together for the Walter Mitty Historic Races next weekend at Road Atlanta..

You could try D&D performance. They carry a bunch of rebuild parts and might have the O-rings your looking for.

Also check out Liberty's Gear. They can even convert your TKO to dog-ring engagement. That will guarantee fast, accurate shifting!

If the new parts ( and some practice on my part ) don't fix my shifting problem , I'm gonna' send it to them and get it fixed , once and for all !!

Scott Lindquist at Classic Motorsports Group sent me some of the o-rings.
(They are always good to get support from.)
Scott also gave me the phone # for Anaheim Gear ( 1-800-477-1103 ).
I spoke to Eric.
They do all the warranty work for that area..Jeff Tate
