Cookeville, TN (May 10, 2009)… The Tremec™ TKO 5-Speed is legendary for its durability and has become a prime choice for adding a modern 5-speed to classic, sports and pony cars. Some engine and chassis combinations, however, require an even stronger transmission than the stock TKO. Enter the TKOExtreme™ by American Powertrain, a fully synchronized 1000hp rated TKO with improved 2-3 shift selection.
Based on the TKO600, the TKOExtreme features a cryo hardened 4616 chromoly gear set, shafts, and input, Sure Shift™ polished synchronizers, REM polished and profiled shift fingers and hardened steel shift forks all assembled to race tolerances by a single craftsman.
Excellent for monster engines and 200mph 1-mile drags, the TKOExtreme also tolerates higher rpm shifts than the stock TKO and comes with AP’s 24-month warranty and 24/7 Customer First™ tech support.
Available with either the .64 overdrive gear for cruising and top speed runs or the shorter .82 gear for on-power 5th gear performance, the TKOExtreme retails for $3195 or can be added to any of American Powertrain’s ProFit kits as a $1000 upgrade.
American Powertrain, located in Cookeville, TN is the manufacturer and retailer of ProFit modern overdrive transmission systems, ProGrip clutches and flywheels and Hydramax hydraulic clutch systems for muscle, sports, street rod and race cars.
