They don't shift worth a damn when they work right either. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

That's what I was waiting for as well. Too late now, but it should shift with no engine start ie: while just sitting there correct? I spent a very long time setting up the hydraulic clutch so it frustrating. The car is on jacks so I am wondering if and when I sit it down it might break the pressure plate away if that's the issue. It will have resistance then.

I spoke with American Power Train and they said I need to remove the cover and ensure the linkage is all in the neutral position. That looks like I will need to cut my tunnel and maybe my dash. I have not walked out to the garage to take a look as I might get to pissed off

You should be able to shift it sitting there. Especially with the clutch pedal pushed in. You can have someone depress the pedal and check for air gap on the clutch. Take a .020 feeler gauge and see if it will fit. I don't recall, but I think the TKO 600 likes .060 of air gap for best shifting. Bottom line, with an air gap, the trans should shift. I do recall one other person having a two 600 get stuck in gear. Maybe it's related.

I put carbon fiber synchros, shifter, and adjusted the air gap, I still wasn't happy with mine. They are strong and it may suit you fine. They just don't shift quickly and at high rpm well.

TKO woes have been discussed at length elsewhere. The following link might provide some insight (get wheels rolling): http://forums.vintage-mustang.com/vi...ngine-off.html.

How do I test for the air gap of the clutch
