Tremec TKO 600 - 540Merlin Reviews

I review my experience with the Tremec TKO 600 5 speed manual transmission. This is 5 years and 35,000 miles of experience. I bought my first one in June 2005 when nobody had really heard of them yet.

do you still have the old tko? im trying to find one to put in my 68 f100 and i just cant find one in my price range...

[540merlin]

@killertctma Yes I do still have the broken TKO 600.

[killertctma]

@540merlin wanna sell it? if so how much?

[540merlin]

@killertctma If I'm going to replace it rather than repair it and they don't want it for a core, you can have it for free. But you have to buy one of my 540Merlin T shirts and wear it in one of your upcoming videos. Cool truck, btw. I'll let you know what I'm gonna do shortly. Unless I forget. Remind me in a week or so!

Great video!

@KeislerEngineering Thanks. Thought you might like it. Thanks for sending me the free Keisler T shirt.

i didnt have money for a TKO after going through t-5 junkers with my 383, so have a NV4500 lol out of a one ton and use overdrive with a 3.08 in my 69 c10 and get insane mileage!

Ive seen your vids before but not this one. I have a tko 600 in my 71 monte carlo with a mildly built 406. I love it, I put it off a year because of initial price but I wish i hadnt, After seeing the way you punish the tkos with huge 540s Im sure i can rely on mine to hold my measly 400ish hp engine all day long. thx and keep up the good vids !

Love your cars, im getting a new motor in the spring for my mustang, i want to run a twin turbo set up but idk if a tremec can handle 700-1000hp do you think there capable

i have a 89 mustang with a 383 stroker nothing compared to your cars but i have a tremec tko600 in my car and man that thing pulls so nice never had the problem with shifting but it dose eat clutches...or it may just be the way i drive it...all i have to say is I LOVE MY TREMEC

@540merlin You've got yourself a deal! hell if you do that for me i will wear your shirt in every video and even pinstripe 540merlin on my truck somewhere. :) its hard to be a college student and work a full time job and live by yourself and still have time/money :)
