Thanks.
The TKO and T56 are stronger, smoother shifting, and both give you an overdrive gear (T56 has two). Really no comparison. When Doug Nash (now Richmond) came out with the 5 speed it's main benefit was less rpm drop between gears, and with the lower first gear ratio you could run a taller rear gear and lower your cruising rpms as compared to the factory Muncies.

But they just don't shift all that well, and since they do not have overdrive the TKO's and T56's are a much better alternative.
