Default TKO 500

Hey do any of you guys have a TKO500 or 600? IF so how do you like it? Is it better then a T3650 besides the obvious it can hold more torque?

Default RE: TKO 500

I've got the TKO-600 in my mach, and though I haven't had a whole lot of time to drive it since I deployed, when I was driving it back to Tx from VA, I did a few powershifts, and it just seems like to me that powershifting with the beefier TKO's isn't just a lot easier, but smoother too.. That's just me though.. Granted that's a good way to beat the **** out of ANY tranny if you do it a lot, but the TKO's I think were just built more for long term wear under a high torque load than the 3650's were. They also seem to have less parasitic HP loss than the 3650 though, especially when coupled with an aluminum driveshaft, though I could be imagining that part of it.. I only had the TKO for a little while before I went F/I, but it just seemed like I pulled better on launches with it than I did with the 3650..
