Tech 408 Clevor Swap Turning Tricks 037
|
Greg chose to replace his ’Stang’s tired stock transmission with Tremec’s TKO 500 (PN TCET-4615). The replacement five-speed features a 10-spline input shaft, 31-spline output shaft, and a close-ratio gearset (3.27 First gear; the stocker’s First is 3.35). While the TKO 500 supports 500 lb-ft of torque, we’re estimating the Clevor’s torque will be right in that range or a tad higher, especially when the juice is flowing. As a precautionary measure, we’re swapping the 10-spline input with a 26-spline shaft assembly from AMP Performance (PN 2606412). TKO 500s are available with a 26-spline input already installed (PN TCET-5201). Unfortunately, however, none were available during our time of need, which is why we’re performing the upgrade. While 26-spline input shafts typically are found in Tremec’s TKO 600 trannys and have 2.87 firsts, AMP set up our replacement with the same 3.27 first gear that’s in the 500. View Related Article
