Buying a TKO for your Classic Chevy is a big investment. By asking the right questions and understanding the facts you will be able to make an informed buying decision.
Below are 5 important tips that will help you make the right decision.

TIP #1
KNOW THE FACTS. Following are a few commonly misunderstood facts:

FACT: For the following car models, there is no reason to pay extra for a specially modified Tremec TKO transmission or custom shifter. An out-of-the box, unmodified TKO transmission with the stock Tremec shifter, or the proper McLeod, bolt-on offset shifter, will properly fit within the stock console of the following cars:
‘67-‘81 Camaros and Firebirds
’64-’72 Chevelles/GTO/LeMans
’62-’74 Chevy II/Nova’s
The pictures below show an unmodified transmission and either a stock Tremec shifter or a direct bolt-on, offset shifter. All pictures are shown with the shift stick in the neutral position.
