t-5 to a tremec tko600

Hi all! Long time reader not very many posts though. Any ways I have a t-5 right now that on the outs. Its lasted through lots of abuse and I have decided to go with a tremec TKO600. This is probably a typical question but I have done some searches and still not quite clear on what I can use of my t-5 set up. My questions are can i use my old bell housing, speedo, and cross member? Will my drive shaft length be OK? Do I need a different yoke?

Re: t-5 to a tremec tko600

you need a yoke, the driveshaft is fine. You need to mod your crossmember or go aftermarket. You need an adapter to go between the trans ans the bellhousing.

I would HIGHLY recommend Fortes Parts Connection for the tko setup. He has everything, except an after market crossmember. He does sell, i believe, parts to adapt your stock crossmember. Other than that if you give them a call and ask questions he will get you everything you need.
