As can be seen by the pictures, the TKX's main and rear cases have been cleaned-up and made more compact when compared with the older TKO. The lumps on top AND the shifter location seem to be lower on the TKX, affording more tunnel room at top of trans.

I would agree. It even shares some of the exact same boss and rib geometry at the bellhousing flange and in the tail shaft housing.
I don't really consider this to be a replacement for the T5. It's a replacement for the TKO500/600 to make it more muscle car friendly.
