Has anyone made the switch to a tkx from a tko600 or can compare with a t56 magnum? I'm thinking of doing a swap but I'm having trouble willingly dishing out almost 5k for a complete magnum swap kit

The land of commies and socialists!
With how new that trans is I'd be surprised if anyone has completed the conversion yet.

I will say it does look like a viable option to upgrade from the T45 or TR3650. I believe the shifter location is in the same place as the TKO which helps tremendously.

I know a 6 speed swap be it a magnum or cobra t56 isn't cheap but I doubt you'd regret it in the slightest.

I ran a TKO500 with a 26 spline input upgrade (still sitting in storage) and now I have a TKO Mag. Night and day, I have cams and shift near 7K, TKO500/600 that would never happen. Plus the longer first gear. The Mag is far easier to shift and just feels better all around. No experience with the TKX but for what the TKX costs I'd just just jump to the Mag. The extra gear between 4th and heavy overdrive is super useful around here.
