What fluid are you running? I hear the fluid has a LOT to do with shift quality. Mine glides into gear man. I'm using the penzoil version of syncomesh

You're probably remembering me. Ran an iceman with my super t-10 4 speed, he said it was a 4-speed. I put in my TKO and the same crossmember worked. I just had to shift it around a little. The factory cross member uses 2 bolts per side, the Iceman uses only 1 per side, you can shift it around a...

LOL yea, I hammer mine in.

I bought a dome light bulb that was a tiny bit short. I attempted to bend the tabs in a little, and one just snapped right the hell off. I'm not sure if this will be a normal common GM part, or I'm totally screwed. Anyone?

after a year of having it sit in the floor board I made a little gauge panel for my A/F gauge. I have a matching MOONEYES Volt gauge to fill the other hole, just need to run the wires (car not on, and fat as hell, just keyed to "on" for the pic)

There is nothing wrong with a spool on the street. I've ran mine for 2 years like that. Sure it chirps a little bit, most notably on smooth concrete at a filling station. I don't see how or why people say they are difficult, or produce bad street manners. It's a 100% predictable rear end. I...

I barely have to take my right shoulder off the seat to reach it. It's right next to my knee so it's not bad at all. My plan was to make a top of my little "console", there just isn't one on my mock up yet. I got the metal pieces cut out, and just need to do a final tiny bit of trimming, and...

Cut a new hole in my new carpet and re-installed my seat after my TKO swap. Just drove it for the second time to fuel up. Will cruise tonight. Looking forward to sliding it into fifth gear and actually using the middle lane on i-35 tonight.

Here's a little cardboard job. I figure I'll measure for the top once I get the metal version sides tacked together. I like this black trim ring from lokar. Apparently it doesnt come with a boot. I may buy the recommended lokar boot and just trim it to be short as ****. The piece in the rear...

In the car? stock g-body 4 speed transmission. In the pic? That's just a regular lakewood, not the f body one. I'll use it in my 260Z. Mild roller 355 with that LS1 t56. There's a $200 adapter (new faceplate) for the t-56 that allows it to bolt to a Gen1 SBC bell and use Gen1 clutch and flywheel. I...

Not that I was aware of. Just slide right in. I didnt measure input shafts, I just went off the fact that the TKO is supposed to be a direct replacement for a 4 speed. I like that round boot too, but I actually built a small template for a tiny console yesterday. I live next door to a sheet...

Considered that, and looked at g-body parts catalog for a while. Biggest problem is I have a bench seat. I do have 2 monte buckets in storage, but I like my bench. Problem two is the shifter arm (which I know is cheap and easy to replace) is only about 6-7" long. With the height of the console...

Got the driveshaft in. The yoke I had was the correct spline count, but it's OD was far too large. Just got my new spicer yoke in today, hung it on the driveshaft and stuck 'er in. I'm about to patch up the old 4 speed hole, and I just dont know what to do for a shifter boot. I'd rather not run...

I hear ya. You could just run the TKO with an LS if you got one too. The only reason I'm putting this in the malibu is because I got a t56 for the datsun. No LS motor, it's just going behind a mild roller 350.

Well, I looked for literally years almost every week before I found a used (slightly, i think about 200 miles) TKO, I believe I paid $1300. Still a bit steep, but cheaper than $2200 new. Small update today. I got my driveshaft back yesterday so I was ready to drive it today. Turns out the yoke...

Put a freaking TKO500 in. HELLO OVERDRIVE http://maliburacing.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=115475&p=880648#p880648

Well, that was easy. I pulled the 4 speed, and came inside to take a break, and make this post. At 8:57, a mere 31 minutes later, my crossmember problem is solved... for free. Originally I had planned to mod the 4 speed crossmember. After a phone call with ICEMAN himself, I figured I'd need...

I'm about to change out my ol' 4 speed for a TKO500. I've only seen a few other malibu's on here with this swap, and only one other build thread, which is MEAT DRAPES, and his is 41 pages long. Way too much BS for anyone to follow. Plan - Remove old 4 speed. Install TKO500, cut new hole in...

No, it's mechanical.

I did the whole coat hanger deal, and it works perfect with the bench :)
