Tremec question

[hemi71]

Getting ready to install the speedo cable in my Tremec TKO600. Question is when i pull out the plug that currently plugs the speedo hole up, am I going to get a river of tranny fluid?  Want to be prepared if that's going to happen.

If you mean the housing that holds the speedo gear, then the answer is YES.    Probably about a quart.

Who did you get your kit from. i order from Darkhorse performance the tko 600 should be in next week. did you have any problems installing.

Housing??  looks to me like the speedo cable just slides in, and has a clamp to hold it in. right now, there is what appears to be a plug in the hole. I'll take a pic sometime this weekend and post it.

As far as the installation, i bought this car with the tremec in it...just finishing up the resto and tying up all the loose ends.

My bad. I thought you were talking about removing the cable from a stock Mopar tranny.

Mike,

I've been there, done that on the 833's...LOL

Haplo, i can tell you it makes for a nice clean installation, i dont see anything that was hacked up to fit it in. The trans crossmember looks to be a nice piece.

Me too

is it above the filler plug ?  ( I forget and Im not going to crawl under mine tonite)

If its above it should be a safe bet that a gushing load wont come out, but have a towel or two handy just in case ?

[hemi71]

Robb, thats what i was thinkin last nite....I'll probably get around to it this weekend.

FYI for those who want to know...just a little dribble of oil when i pulled the temp plug and installed the speedo gear.

Park it pointing the nose down hill on a slight hollow (next to an old willow ...just kidding) and climb under. Oil should be far enough forward in the transmission to not pose a problem. Be careful and make sure you block the wheels to avoid getting squished.

I had to change my speedo gear today, speedo reading to fast. Had drivers side wheels on 6" blocks, ZERO oil came out while I switched gears.

Good to know.. as i will probably switch to a dana rear and have to swap gears .. new speedo gear will be going in as well.
