Both are 5-speed manual transmissions. The chart at the bottom of the article shows the gear ratios available with each model.

El Camino Owners,

If you're looking to install a TKO-500/600 into your car, please note that the unit that Tremec sells will not fit your car without serious modification to the car. The 2inch offset bar will be sitting above your carpet, and require cutting of your console.

On the other hand...

All of our custom kits include the TKO-500/600, redesigned with our custom tailhousing and shifter - for EXACT shifter location WITHOUT cutting your console, or unsightly permanent modifications to your car. Our kit does require some tunnel mods, but the template and sheet metal is included with the kit for a factory appearance for either console or bucket seat applications.

Our company is the undisputed leader in the custom fitment market, and you can see a great tech article next month in Chevy High Performance magazine.

You have likely seen our numerous ads in the Super Chevy magazine also, including the TRI-5 6-speed kit we have.

We have a brand new 6-speed kit for A-body coming out shortly. Check out our web-site when you have a chance.

We also have complete conversion kits from automatic!
