I actually had the TKO behind my 302 for almost a year before I swapped motors. It NEVER shifted well at high RPM's and now it won't do a simple 4-3 down shift (I have to drop it down into 2nd and then go up into 3rd... what a pain in the ass). You can do a search and find at least one thread that gives more details on my issues.

I don't want to steer you away from Tremec because I'm sure they can put out some decent stuff... I just wasn't lucky enough to get one of their good transmissions. Tremec appears to have a proplem with quality based on all of the complaint threads on the internet forums.
