Default Just bought a tko 600!

well i was goign to do heads cam intake, but decided i needed a tranny for the power, and i didnt want to put any more money into my aod piece of junk, so i scored a used tko 600 with 3000miles on it, with a blow through bell house, clutch, and pressure plate for $1500 on ebay! already have the peddals sitting at home, so ill be goign to town on the swap once i get out of college for the summer.

any advice on the swap?

I've still got the original shifter and it works flawlessly for me. I've thought about buying another one but i cant justify the cost because i dont need one. I never miss a shift. When i'm shifting from second to third i just push straight up and it goes in everytime with no grinding and no problems.

Fastblack, thing is, my dad wasnt even shifting while moving, he barely missed 4th, and it locked, and you have to drop the tranny and pull a cover, just to pull on a chunk of metal and put it back in


its more worth the 150 bucks than the 5 hours of wasted time
