2300 bucks at American Driveline, I was just looking at them. Maybe they would cut a Bangshifter a little deal on a group purchase?
NV3500? ZF Six speed? As I remember the car, they have a big tunnel. Brian doesn't seem to mind ape like stretches to shift gears.Last edited by Beagle; March 31, 2012, 08:39 AM.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

I'm still half-ass looking for an M22... close ratio doesn't seem as necessary for a big inch mill though. The Mope tranny is getting a little harder to find here, I had thought about that several times.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

All hail the TKO-600 When ever I decide the TKO-600 needs some internal maintenence (knocking on ~50,000 miles on it now), I may see about doing the upgrades for better shifting, but even now I think it's awesome and probably the most bullet proof part of my drivetrain.
I'd be shocked if you have any trouble adapting (bolting right in) some early to mid-70's pedal set to your Caprice. IMO the hardest part will be coming up with a proper Z-bar and frame mount if you go with mechanical linkage, which of course is negated by a hydraulic system. I contemplate going to a hydraulic system every now and then, but the mechanical stuff hasn't let me down yet.Escaped on a technicality.
