Liberty Gears was showing their TR-6060 and TKO-500/600 transmissions. Their version of the TR-6060 offering was designed to enhance the original Tremec TR-6060 and for those who do not know, features many upgrades over the older T-56 such as 30% wider gears.
What Liberty does, is use their knowledge of improving gear material and treating metal to produce gears that are not only strong right out of the box, but will last in your transmission as well. Some examples of their metal enhancements are cryogenic processing, thermal stabilization, shot peen, and surface enhancing. The results is a metal that not only has less surface friction and higher load capacity, but one the is more durable as well.
Their TKO - 500/600 transmissions are built using the same techniques as mentioned above, but Liberty has also used racer feedback over the years to produce a transmission the will handle 600 horsepower with no problems.
One feature that came directly from drag racing was the addition of a threaded front cap vs a press in front cap. Liberty took the time to include this feature and now it provides more support to the front cluster, while making a part that will not pop out under pressure like its pressed in counterpart. This model seen below, features a face plate engagement conversion and it’s surface is enhanced. Liberty also uses bronze shift forks and upgrades the internal shift linkage in addition to the treaded front cap.
