Having driven both I prefer the T-56 / T-56 Magnum / TR6060 family of transmissions to the TKO series. Plus the double overdrive on the T-56 series is nice. From what I see the TKO looks to be an older design with new applications.

Dual Rzeppa CV, like in my Cougar.

Thank you for all the information. I think I am going to go the t56 route with the 2.66. Not sure if I need the double overdrive versus the tko600, but I have heard they have issues shifting over 6k rpm. I have a 3.89 rear gear and the tires are 27" tall. The CD009 doesn't see like it would be a good choice for my setup. Thank you again.

1. I highly recommend the dual CV driveshaft from The Driveshaft Shop.
2. Make sure that whatever cam you pick will be happy in that 1700-1800RPM range.

Yes, CF tube, I believe it is 3.25". Driveshaft shop also offer a lower cost aluminum tube option.

Cost not so much of an issue; overall diameter is however due to limitations in the tunnel. Suspect they'll want to do a 3.5" AL. Unless I can talk them into a larger wall thickness 3.0". I'll drive up and have a talk with them. Thx.
