i think the 3550 is the same as a tko 500. and the shifting on his 3550 is smooth to me.

There are quite a few differences between the TKO500 and the 3550 but they both will handle close to the same power with the TKO500 taking a little more. The most common failures in the 3550 are twisted/broken main shaft and input shaft(takes alot of power and good traction to hurt one), Other than that they are pretty tough transmissions.

sorry, had intArweb diarrhea the last few days.

the kit as priced includes runs about $900 plus shipping (~$100), have to buy a clutch, don't know about the 4.6 bellhousing (shouldn't be a problem)

my kit came with:

trans
member
housing
yoke
shifter base (no handle)

this is reman trans and you can tell it, but they did a hell of a job on mine. I don't know the specifics of the place I got it from, one of my suppliers told me about him and I ordered from them. It shipped from Michigan, FWIW. it had a 30 day warranty on it and I haven't had a problem.
