Tremec 5 Speed (M-7003-R58C) Mid-Shift?

[JeepFlyer]

Does anyone know if the Tremec 3550 5-speed (part# M-7003-R58C) can be converted to a mid-shift to move the shifter forward on the transmission tunnel? I've seen places online claiming it is a TKO 600... is this true? Would substituting a TKO 500/600 for this change the installation with a coyote?

Yes,

You can use a 3550, which this is below, or the newer 600.

Would a TKO 500 work? The coyote is only rated at 390 ft/lbs so that would be well under the max rating. It just seems like the 600 would be overkill if I didn't have plans to increase the output anytime soon.

Any of the TKO'S would be fine, the newer models shift much better than the older 3550's.

Just call Mike Forte, he knows everything about Tremec transmissions.
