The TKO's advantage is a lower 1st gear, and less RPM drop on the 2-3 and 3-4.




Well, the numbers don't lie, but your ability to shift it quickly is also a factor in maintaining RPMs and in that case the Passon is the hands down winner.




HUH ???

It doesn't matter how fast you can shift the trans from gear to gear , the RPM is still going to drop the same amount.

The only reason the Passon setup is a winner for you is because of your stance againnst doing anything that involves a modification .

Not entirely true John (my stance). No, I am not a proponant of cutting on a rare car, but aside from that Ive driven a fair number of Kiesler TKO equipped Mopars and they (in my experience) shift like crap, notchy and slow by comparisons to an 833 etc. Not a problem if all you do is row though the gears cruising around, but in drag racing its a different story.

RPM drop is not from how fast your shift. It's a mechanical number derived from the difference in ratios.

As quick shifting. I agree with Scott and that also explains why 833's and T56's are my two favourtie transmissions.

For those who have wide ratio transmissions. Don't be offended. I've had some too. NV3500, T5's etc. I'm just here to state one shifts better than the other.
