New Parts: New Pro-Fit TKX 5-Speed Systems For 1982 – 1992 F Body Camaro/Firebird

The 1982-1992 GM F-Body, better known by everyone as the “Third Gen” has finally arrived back on the scene. For many years these cars were kind of derided and scoffed at. A couple of years ago, some high profile builds started happening and now the cars are among the hottest platforms for hot rodders and builders to get their hands on. They offer a great foundation to build a fun hot rod off of. They’ll take whatever engine you want to stab in there, handling can be made world class with bolt-on parts, and the styling is back “in” for those wanting looks along with all that.

So how about the driveline? If you are putting a nice, modern engine in there making great power, you are going to have an equally bad ass transmission. That’s where American Powertrain comes in. The company is now offering Pro-Fit TKX 5-speed systems for the 1982-1992 Camaro and Firebird. This means you take that awesome TKX and bolt it in like GM intended for it to be there from the factory. The shifter fits the stock location, the tunnel fit is perfect, and you are rowing gears and laying rubber like a boss.

Here’s the full story from American Powertrain!
