Does not fit tr3550 or any other model see separate listings. The flaw affects third gear. Got a good deal on a pro 50 shifter for a tko 500. Walsh says some early tkos used two pads on the.
The tko 500600 uses a total of nine pads for a complete transmission. Fits tremec tko 500 600 5 speed aftermarket transmissions. This is the 1 2 fork with three pads while the fifth gear fork uses only two. I ended up going with the 5009 because i liked the 64 od and higher torque rating gave me some margin for safety with slicks. I have a tr3550 which seems to have a similar bolt pattern except for two bolts which are narrower than the rest whereas the tko shifter is a rectangular shape. If the input shaft on a tremec tko has the slightest drag or misalignment in it and spins in neutral you are going to have that grief.
It turns out that tko 500600 has a significant design flaw that tremec knows about and chooses not to fix for ease of production and cost reasons. According to the build tag was a sept 17 build date.
