Re: TKO 600 swap

We've done two hydraulic swaps to use TR6060/T56 transmissions. First one was done by customizing a factory mechanical pedal setup, and second was using the wilwood pedal box. Both used Wilwood clutch M/C. The key to the Wilwood units is to make sure the piston is completely centered throughout the pedal swing, otherwise it scores the wall and you will have issues. With some fabrication we were able to achieve this on the factory pedal setup (after learning with two clutch M/Cs), and it has a nice factory look.

The pedal box is a much more involved process and I recommend starting with a stripped out cab so you can measure and fabricate without interruptions. We reinforced the firewall but still had movement of the pedals under braking, so we have since ran reinforcement stringers up to the factory steering column. It was not an easy job. Also you will find the pedals sit pretty high up and close so it isn't a super comfortable driving position.
