I want to install a Tko500 in my fox. It has a 10 spline input and I believe a 31 output on the tranny. My concern is does the cross member or the drive shaft need to be upgraded in this process or can you use the stock parts.

you eill need to upgrade to a 31 spline yoke for your drive shaft and will have to grind the welds off yoyur current k member or order the adjustable FMS one from summit or like place. I believe you will need a new bellhousing or scatter shield as well.

I already have the 31 spline yolk, also got the bellhousing. I don't think I need to change the k member to install the tranny! I've never heard of that before. I appreciate the help bro

Alex Crisp (Lux) aka "Nasty Notch" of Oakland & Vallejo,out of this list of stolen parts has been selling a rare S351 intake and Vortech YS trim with removed serial number, finding out how to fill a TKO, selling a twEECer, and selling MM camber caster plates! He refuses to answer where these parts are now and who he got these parts from. Either Alex is a thief or knows who the thief is.People like Al ruin the hobby and contaminate our community.

UPDATE: Felon Alex Crisp arrested and jailed

UPDATE2: Alex Crisp guilty of armed robbery
