Glad the Bernies made the trip . You guys earned the award the hard way. At least one incident daily and sometimes multiple issues on the same day . I thought we were going to have to start a pool on what was going to happen each dayFKA Redragtop

Bernie, you're estimate from American Powertrain, was that just for the transmission itself or the entire kit?! $2200-$2300 sound about right for just the TKO, but once you add the driveshaft, cross member, bellhousing, pressure plate, flywheel, clutch, clutch set-up, pedals, shifter, speed-o-meter cable, and reverse harness, it'll add up to $4,000-$5,000!!
And you don't have to go with a hydraulic set up, as you can stay mechanical. Hydraulic is about a $700 option, give or take.... But man is it easier on the leg!!
Ed, the one bad thing about Keisler now, they are no longer an authorized dealer for Tremec. They are making their own 5-speeds in house, and of last year, they were having a lot of issues with them.
So, when people start to chime in on Transmission prices, you need to know if you got the basic TKO, which comes with nothing to include no bellhousing, or if you're pricing the entire kit. Huge difference......
