Tremec is an OE transmission supplier that manufactures manual transmissions for Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, Aston Martin, TVR, and many different medium and heavy duty truck applications. Their TKO is a high strength 5-speed overdrive manual transmission that was originally designed to be retrofitted into Mustang Fox body cars to replace the weaker T5, but will also bolt up to the standard Ford four speed passenger car bellhousing. When Tremec realized that enthusiasts were adapting it for GM applications, they decided to make it a little easier for folks (and capitalize on a huge opportunity, too) by producing a GM version of the TKO.

The GM version will bolt directly up to almost any standard Chevrolet/Buick/Olds/Pontiac passenger car four-speed bellhousing. Though only Ford and GM versions of the TKO are available, Mopar enthusiasts can get all the custom parts they need to adapt a Ford version TKO to virtually any Mopar V8 engine. The TKO has never been OE equipment in any production car, although its great-grandpa, the Tremec TR-3550 was in a limited-production Ford Mustang Cobra in the mid 1990s. The TKO is purely an aftermarket transmission designed for high-performance cars.

There are three basic models available, the TKO-500 and two variations of the TKO-600. The wide-ratio TKO-500 is rated for a continuous 500 lb.-ft. of torque, and offers a deep 3.27:1 first gear ratio and a 0.68:1 overdrive ratio in fifth gear. The close-ratio TKO-600 is rated for a continuous 600 lb.-ft. of torque, and has a 2.87:1 first gear and either a 0.82:1 overdrive or a 0.64:1 overdrive ratio in fifth gear. The rated torque capacities are said to be quite conservative, as there are a significant number of cars in the field with engines that exceed the torque rating by a large margin, and failures are rare.

The TKO uses a three-rail internal shift mechanism, eliminating any external linkage and the problems that go with it. The short throw billet aluminum shifter can be removed, flipped 180 degrees, and then reinstalled to provide an additional shift position. Optional custom shifters are available in several different configurations to mimic the shift positions in various musclecars. The TKO utilizes cast iron shift forks, a one-piece counter shaft, and tapered roller bearings on the input, output, and counter shafts for added strength.

Every TKO transmission provides both mechanical and electronic speedometer outputs. The mechanical output is a Ford design, but you can get hybrid speedometer cables for GM or Mopar applications. They also feature a reverse light switch and a neutral safety switch that can be wired into your vehicle's existing harness. The transmission has an internal reverse lockout feature that prevents you from accidentally going from fifth gear into reverse. You have to go into the center of the "Neutral" gate before it will allow you to shift into reverse.

The Tremec TKO is an excellent choice for the musclecar or street rod owner that enjoys rowing his own gears and wants to drive his car to distant car shows or other events. I have one in my 1967 Pontiac Firebird and have driven a number of other cars with TKO transmissions installed. The overdrive makes a huge difference on the highway, and there aren't many other transmission choices out there with overdrive that will stand up to the kind of power that the TKO can take. None of the other overdrive transmissions available at this time offer as much versatility as the Tremec TKO.

Expertise to introduce flange

Billet of metal (excluding plate) the imposition of external force to produce plastic deformation, changes in size, shape and improve the performance, for the manufacture of machine parts, flange, workpieces, tools or methods of forming the rough.

The type and characteristics of forging

When the temperature is over 300-400 ℃ (steel blue brittle region), to 700-800 ℃, the deformation resistance will be reduced dramatically, the deformation can also be significantly improved. In accordance with the temperature in different regions of the forging, forgings for the quality and the different forging process can be divided into cold forging, warm forging, hot forging three molding temperature region. This temperature region was divided into no hard and fast boundaries, generally speaking, in the recrystallization temperature region is called forging hot forging, non-heating of the forging at room temperature is called cold forging.

Forging at low temperatures, the forging of a very small size changes. The following forging at 700 ℃, the formation of small oxide and surface decarburization phenomenon no. Therefore, as long as the deformation can be in the range of forming, cold forging easy access to good dimensional accuracy and surface finish. As long as the temperature control of cooling and lubrication, 700 ℃ temperature and forging the following can also get very good accuracy. Hot forging, as a result of deformation energy and deformation resistance are very small, complex shapes can be forged large forgings. To obtain high dimensional accuracy of forgings, 900-1000 ℃ temperature in hot forging process with the region. In addition, attention should be paid to improving the working environment of hot forging. Forging die life (forging 2-5 1000,

10000 Warm Forging 1-2, 2-5 cold forging 10,000) and other temperature domain is relatively short compared to the forging, but it's freedom, and low cost.

Blank in the cold forging to produce deformation and work hardening, so that forging die under high load, therefore, need to use high-intensity use of the forging die and bonded to prevent wear and lubricating film rigid approach.

In addition, to prevent the billet crack, intermediate annealing necessary to ensure that the needs of the deformation capacity. In order to maintain good lubrication can be carried out on the blank phosphate processing. The use of bar and wire rod for continuous processing, the current cross-section also can not be dealt with lubrication, lubrication is studying methods of use of the possibility of phosphide.

About 5 grand tops. Modifications to car rarely (if ever) add much to the price of a used car. The general rule of thumb is to expect around a 5-10% return on what you invest into car modifications. So if you built a $5000 engine, expect it to add about $500 into the resale value of the car. It sucks, I know. Modifications are done for the the owner's enjoyment.
