UPS man came today!

Got my first 2 boxes of 5speed swap parts! woot.

today I got this bad boy...


and I also got my clutch cable kit, shift ****, and all the little miscellanious bolts and clips and such i'm going to need.

still waiting on my trans/bellhousing, clutch/flywheel, and my pedal assembly.

too bad I won't be able to use it for a while

Looks like another AODE guy has fallen to the dark side. LOL! I've always liked the look MGW shifters. Looks good.

ctgreddy

yup i've gone to the dark side. haha. i don't care about 1/4 mile times and consistency as much as I do having fun with this car, thats the reason for the swap.

NoGo95GT

Yeah, the AODE's are junk. My stock one couldn't handle the boost after two months. At the time, I would've gone 5 speed, but had a built AODE for my back-up(got it used with a PI converter for $400. Guy said he ran 11.7's with boost; he went 5-speed too). If this one goes, though, I am still getting another AODE. I've got to get my car into the high10's.

so um.... what kind of TKO did you pick up?

ctgreddy

a tko3550 II
The guy just got it redone from promotion powertrain, and yes, it comes with receipts.

i dont realy care who fixed what... I was just curious because I saw that shifter and said to myself... "I hope he didnt buy a TKO500/600"

and if you had, i was going to offer to buy that shifter for MY 3550

ctgreddy

whats wrong with them? I was actually looking for a used tko600 but couldn't find any. and i've heard that the new ones are junk now.
