I have had my TKO for a few years and has been a flawless transmission. The ONLY reason I want a Magnum is for 6th gear (.50). I went with the TKO initially, is because I had an OEM T56 and too much cutting. TKO was supposed to be a no cut option....but wasn't.
We all have different levels of expectations and applications. The truth of the matter is they are a fine transmission for a mild application where high rpm/quick shifting isn't important. They are old technology and many agree with me. Especially if they have driven a t56 or many foreign manuals.

It's human nature to defend and sell what they possess. I understand that. Let us know what you think AFTER you drive a 56 mag.

My car had an aluminum 666hp big block with an aluminum flywheel that would zing to 6800. The trans didn't have a chance.

Thanks for the defense guys. It was installed correctly.

Still belongs in a UPS truck from my perspective.
