Is it hard to replace the stock T5 tranny with a TKO tranny? Do we have to change anything?

uh, us fox guys would have to completely replace the clutch (totally incompatible with stock type clutches), and the driveshaft (again, different spline count on the input), and the mounting point seemed to require the AOD tranny crossmember (in a fox anyways) and I had to use like 6-7 washers to hold the tranny at the right position--- had to lift it to get the shifter base higher.

We're getting a new Spec Stage 3 high RPM clutch, an aluminum driveshaft, and a steel flywheel.

6200 is not "high" rpm. I've taken my TKO to 7000 which is near the limit.

Youll need a new bellhousing too. And make sure the clutch is for a 26 spline input shaft.

Why isnt this tranny supposed to be shifted at high RPMs? And what IS the limit?
