Silver Sport Transmissions is the remains of Kiesler where my TKO 600 came from. I think they are a forum vendor...they seem to want to go the extra mile with the customer. Just checked.....I can't be banned.....they are forum advertiser. Scroll down to bottom of vendor list to transmissions.....I still think the 1310 Ujoint is the best fit with a TKO.....only Silver a Sport has that type of conversion.

I just checked out their website. I wanted to see some ballpark prices so I could see if it was something I could afford. The only option I saw was 'contact us for a quote'....I think that will scare many guys like myself off who think "if you have to ask, you cant afford it'.

I just bought a 5-speed conversion kit from Silver Sport a month and a half ago. Customer service was great and the entire kit shipped out within a few days of placing the order. The system installed relatively trouble free (even though it was a very major operation). I did have a part that had to be replaced which they immediately sent me after a quick phone call. It wasn't cheap by any means, but well worth it to me. It's like a different car.

Richmond?
I have driven a TKO and think I would like to go with a Richmond 5 speed. However it looks like the OD unit is a little longer than the non-OD 5 speed. I want my shifter in the stock location and don't want to cut up the old girl too much. Any feedback?

Melting Slicks
If you go with a Richmond, get a Long shifter. They are miles ahead of the Hurst. Also, use Redline's manual transmission fluid (not rear end gear diff oil). It smooths out the shifts alot due to higher friction for the synchro's. The 5 speed fits perfectly in a C3 and you only have to modify the transmission mount some, which they provide instructions for in the installation manual.
