Hi Flash68. I agree with you. RS 600 is more appropriate than TKO 600. I have just realized that after I bought a RS 600. :)

You already installed your RS 600? Into what?

Sorry to be writing so late.

I am replacing a 3350 Tremec.

Engine will be another LS3 or a LS7.

Will have at least 600+ at the crank. I'm going to put the 3350 in a mild 64 Corvette Convertible.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Ty

You need a T56 Magnum, best shifting transmission at a resonable budget and will handle 700 LB FT TQ. And i have pushed them WAY beyond that 700 mark
============================
The T-56 Magnum is one of the boxes I'm looking at. I have a R/T-56 from Keisler that will either go in the Grand Sport, or the Camaro. It would be a logical match to go with the T-56 Magnum as everything other than the dog gears is the same.

Is this logical?

I'm with ya right up to the shifting without a clutch. There's never a need for that, and it will wear your transmission out much faster.

Learn to heel-toe (actually more like ball-of-foot / side-of-foot) and smooth upshifting. Your tranny will love you and your lap times will be faster.

John:

The R/T 56 I thought might be a good way to learn without tearing up a tranny while learning.

From what I understand, once you get the rev matching down, shifting up or down without the clutch is not that difficult.

Truckers do it all the time.

Sure. Of course all that is true.

I'm not saying it's not possible. I'm saying it's not useful.

You'll never do clutch-less shifting while driving your car on a track, and doing it on the street will cause increased wear on your transmission.
