Kiesler is now Silver Sport Transmissions, you may want to reach out to them with some questions as well.


As a side note....I talked to these guys on the phone today about my slip yoke/driveshaft question....SUPER HELPFUL....even gave me all the part numbers I needed for U joints etc....... :twothumbsup:

I have one in my Cuda with the  hydraulic slave cyl and it works great. I'd put the trans in before you cut the floor because you don't really have to cut that much.

never done me well  :-X

It's not Keisler but a few employee's that bought him out.( Bill I think his name was?) I found them very helpful/ good to deal with then I bought my kit even though it was still Keisler at the time. I agree Keisler himself had some not so nice "issues" on how he handled things but I'd feel comfortable recommending Silver Sport

well they don't now , lots of issues over the years

I did the auto to tko 600 conversion on my ebody 3 hrs ago. Got the kit from SST and could not be more pleased. Was your drive shaft supplied with the kit?  The newer kits require a 1330 slider yoke set at a specific length to clear the shifter housing and gear slider rod in 1st, 3rd and 5th!

I purchased the transmissions ten years ago :) Life happened so they sat on the shelf in the shop along with the cars. A friend of mine gave me a swift kick in the @ss recently and said he'd help me wrench if we got these cars together... So we are banging it out. The progress we have made in the last week as been nothing short of amazing. The Challenger will be running within a week and road worthy within a month.. The Cuda requires a LOT of pieces to get back on the road but it should be running in a month or two at most if we can keep up this same pace.
I'm putting my car on the lift this weekend to modify the Mancini drive shaft loop I have to fit the Tremec. I'll snap some pics for you to show the clearance needed.

Some pics would be awesome. If I can get this driv shaft sorted out and get some tags n the car it can go out for Graffiti weekend :)
