Re: T56 Magnum
Buckeye- I can't speak on behalf of the T56 6-Speed; however, with that being said, I ordered my TKO600 from Keisler and my experience with them is second to none. The sales department and technical department were some of the friendliest customer service reps that I have ever dealt with. Even when I had issues converting my car over to a manual, they were always willing to help me out. Keisler does have the T56, so I would not hesitate one bit to order from them.
Another issue that came up while on the PT, my master cylinder for the clutch started to leak. The cylinder is a Wilwood and come to find out, I installed it wrong on my clutch pedal, which wore out the o-rings inside of the cylinder. Even though that was a fault of my own, Keilser was willing to give me all brand new components to fix my car in order to finish the PT. When the tour stopped at Chattanooga last year, I went north to Knoxville to stop by Keisler. Not only did they give me extra parts, but insisted that they give me a complete tour of their facility, presented me with a plaque, and put my car in their monthly news magazine.
IMO, you won't find a better group of people to buy from..... ;)sigpic

Re: T56 Magnum
I agree, you can't go wrong with Keisler. They told me that they are swamped right now, and Bucky is right....Jeff is as good as they come. Patience will be rewarded!
Oh, BTW, did we mention they are a long-time Power Tour sponsor?? ;DEd, Mary, & 'Earl'

Re: T56 Magnum
I hate to chine in on the thread, but Bucky...Would you know if a TKO600 would bolt up to a standard Ford toploader bell house with a manual linkage and 3 finger clutch?
Assuming I would just go with a new bell.
I really wish they would consider putting a kit together for non-Mustang guys.

Re: T56 Magnum
Elite have you driven a tko 600? Everyone I talk to hated the ones they have driven. It is generally said to be a good road race trans but sucks on the street.
and no it will no bolt up straight but they make a adapter plate to adapt the bolt pattern and use up some of the input shaft that is longer than the 4speed. (this is what is /was in my cougar with a t5. but the new motor will crush the t5 so ....
