Here are the tags from both transmissions.
You can reference the numbers on Tremecs web site.
(
260 0708 )This tag comes back as 3550 based TKO, rated 425 lbs, 26 spline input, 31 spline output.

(
TCET5201 )This tag comes back as a TKO 500. 10 spline input shaft, I dont remember what the output shaft spline count was. The transmission was modified by MMR anyway and is 26/31 now.

3550 and 500/600 are different. Rated differently etc etc. If you had a transmission that resembled a 500,.. then perhaps you did indeed have a 500. That or you just didnt look close enough. Look at my pics. I'm showing you the differences here. I have one of each.
Also,.. when you go to buy a shifter for TKO,.. you have to specify,.. 500/600 based,.. or 3550 based.
