More Transmission Choices For Corvettes! New Pro-Fit TKX 5-speed Systems For 1955-82 C1, C2 and C3 Corvettes

I told you that the new Tremec TKX Transmission was going to be a game changer for hot rods and muscle cars, not only because it is a super bad ass 5-speed trans, but because this bastard fits inside stuff that was always a pain to fit a TKO into. To prove me right, or maybe my claims were a bit of foreshadowing, the gang at American Powertrain have announced all new TKX Pro-Fit kits for 1955-1982 Corvettes, with more stuff coming soon! These kits are super complete and fit factory shifter locations, require ZERO TUNNEL MODIFICATIONS, and even have shift pattern plates that look factory but with the new TKX pattern on them. I’ve seen these kits installed, and I can tell you that they are bitchin for sure. Below is all the info from American Powertrain.

And don’t forget that they have kits for anything cool you might want to build, so even if you don’t have a Vette you are going to want to hit them up.
