Hey Robbie
Do you have any pictures of the installation and the shifter location?
Jim

Robbie which trans did you get? tko500(#4616)?tko600 with .82 o.d. (#4618) or the tko 600 with .64 o.d. (#5009)?

To my understanding the 4616 and 4618 were always in stock. It is the tko 600 with .64 overdrive part # 5009 that everyone is in limited supply.

If it is the 5009 model that came in that would be great graemlins/thumbsup.gif

This is the one I bought. GM TKO500
3.27 First Gear, 0.68 O/D
GMTKO532768 (TCET 4616)
I am running a 373 gear with 285/40/17 tires. They matched the speedo gears to my gear and tire size.I talked with Mike yesterday and he said they just received around 30 new crates and expect more by the end of the month from tremec. I guess the demand has gone up. I have used the Tremec in my last project and it was great. Give them a call, they will hook you up. here is their number> 781-273-9900, ask for Paul or mike. I will post pictures on my website monday of the 69 changeover.

Rayzor:

You are correct, the TKO 600 (#5009) are in short supply and have been the most popular selling TKO's. I think most everyone is on back order right now.

Jim-
I sent you some console pics.

I added new pictures od the Tremec install on my site, see Tremec at bottom of blue 69 ss page., I had to trim the crossmember by the mount about 1/4 inch, and I trimmed the shift tunel at the rear about one inch, everything else went in great. Forte's (http://www.fortesparts.com/) has 30 new TKO 600 trenny's in stock now. Camar Muscle (http://camaromuscle.com/)

I have some pics with center console too, but mind you I changed the center section of the console to fit my likings better....

They will be posted on my site later today.
