Gen 3 coyote with tkx transmission combo?

[JohnP]

Has anyone done a coyote gen 3 with tremec tkx transmission for the roadster... I am looking for a complete list of required parts to go with the install package from factory 5?

I've done the Gen 2 with a TKO, and the Gen 3 with a T-56. The TKX supposedly mounts the same as the TKO. Other than the bell housing, the TKO/TKX mounts the same as the T-56. I didn't see any different between the Gen 2 and Gen 3 as far as the transmission mounting. Once you removed and replaced the stock dual action flywheel on the Gen 3. The Factory Five Gen 3 instructions have a complete list of the parts required. https://www.factoryfive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Coyote-Gen-3-Fitment-roadster-rev-1E.pdf.

I have been looking at the instructions but since they are for the use of the TKO transmission rather than the TKX was not sure what parts might be different other than the transmission and bell housing? I am going to try calling Tremec to get there help but thought maybe someone else might have already covered this ground.

Thanks

As far as the Coyote, the TKX is the same mounting as the TKO. Same bell housing. Same input shaft length, diameter, and spline count. Etc. So no differences. Not sure what you're expecting. But OK.

Other builds have noted a couple slight differences for the TKX at the chassis A-frame and mount. But that's not anything that Tremec would know about plus not specific to the Coyote.

OK Thanks! Sorry for the confusion.... did not understand that the two transmissions are essentially interchangeable. So it sounds like I can just use the parts list form the instructions and just substitute the TKX transmission for the TKO. Appreciate the help ... again!

John,
I'd be happy to help with the trans install pieces. But like EdwardB indicated there shouldn't be any significant change between the TKO and TKX. Maybe the spacer height at the rear mount. I don't believe that one is longer than the other but not sure.
Call if you'd like. Easy for me to get to you.
