Very nice! How do you like the TKO trans? What shifter do you use?

Thanks. Had to fix a few 4th gear shifting issues first season i used it, but since then it's been real good. I just run the standard shifter unit, but have played around with it a bit.

I'm really considering the TKO600, if my build ever comes together. I've heard a few complain about high rev shifting with the box as-is from Tremec, but never with one that Liberty has worked on. What sort of issue did you guys have with 4th and what did you do to remedy the issue?

Had issues with changing into 4th over 8000rpm, found it was trying to overshift so modded shifter, to shorten throw. Cheers
