Hey Sammy...find me a clutchless Jericho 5-banger for the price of TKO and I'll be golden!

I beleive that the Gear Vendors overdrive requires modification to the trans tunnel on some applications, so you might want to check that out if you want to keep things stock looking.

I did the swap two years ago, before the TK600 was available. At the time Keisler was taking forever to fill the orders because they were just starting to sell the kits and they were modifying each tranny so the stock shifter location could be maintained. I'm not sure what their lead time is now, but we actually swapped in the 350 first, then waited another two months for the Tremec to arrive. About the only thing I might change is going to a ball knob rather than the T-handle. Otherwise I love it and it shifts like butter. (Even smoother than our "old" 96 Mustang GT which also had a Tremec 5 speed.)

The Tremecs found in production cars seem to be hit & miss...the T56 in the LS1 Camaros is a good example...it was pretty common to hear of new cars having to have immediate tranny work/replacement. A guy here in town has had 3 SS Camaros, and special ordered the last one...he drove right after they rolled it off the truck and the thing wouldn't go into reverse and would jump out of a couple of the forward gears...he ended up taking it anyway, and thrashed the crap out of it knowing they were gonna replace it anyway.

Sam,
I've always been hesitant about used unless I know who I'm buying from. But this forum I trust. You wouldn't happen to have Eric's number?
Thanks.

Thank you.
