TKO and clutch combo
 
I am about to purchase a new TKO tranny. I have been told that I will have to buy a new clutch for it. (because the splines are different) :(

I currently have a Sacs Gold Series clutch in my T5. I love that clutch. It's pretty new (4G miles on it) and I want to use it in my TKO.

Is this true? Can I use the same clutch or do I have to buy a new one? If so, what kind to yall recomend? I was thinking "if" I have to buy a new one, I was going to look into getting a RAM clutch.

Keep in mind, my car is a street/strip car. I need something that will hold about 750 RWHP. :D

tko
 
with the tko u have to use a different clutch, driveshaft yoke, bellhousing and u have to modify the crossmember or just get 1 thats not welded so that it can move. i have got 2 new trannys for the mustangs 1 was a world class and the other was a tko .
i would not get anything but a tko. i use a ram 900 series

Ditto, to ALL points made.
You need new clutch, p/p, bellhousing, driveshaft, and crossmember.

Is the rumor true about being able to us an AOD crossmember with the TKO?

If so, then I'm all set whenever I get around to the Tremec. I reused my crossmember when I swapped the T-5 in.

Dont know if its true, never seen an AOD crossmember.
Post a photo for us to finalize the answer.
My TKO crossmember:

If the AOD crossmember looks like what drudis posted, then it should work.

I just purchased the adjustable crossmember and then welded it to fit (the position for my Tremec is exactly like the picture drudis posted - all the way to the back).

Good luck,
