HUH, WHAT? SPEAK UP, I CAN'T HEAR YOU! (jk)
Nevermind the fact the G-force T-5 rated the same as the TKO600 will make your ears bleed (straight cut gears), my 600 makes a little noise, but nothing that people are like WTF is that?!?!
LOL, my wife hated the TKO600. I replaced my busted T45 (I know, a broken T45 in a Cobra, what are the odds
) with a TKO600 and she thought the new tranny was broken too. "Is it supposed to sound like that?" she asked.
Yeah, they whine more than stock trannys, but it is about the toughest thing out there for the public. It costs less than a T56 and will handle more power (T56s are rated from 330-550 ft/lbs depending on the model).
To make driving more enjoyable, you gotta use a good shfiter and top quality lube. Tremec recommends the following...
TR-3550/TKO - GM Synchromesh or Dexron III
TR-3650/T-45/T-5 - Dexron III
T-56 (Ford and GM) - Dexron III
T-56 (Viper only) - Castrol Syntorque
I had a Pro 5.0 shifter which was OK, but the couple extra bucks for the MGW shifter is WELL WORTH IT!
There is nothing like hammering through gears without fear! Too bad my Cobra's frame was off and is now a parts car, I'm gonna miss those days
