Read the other Keisler treads on the forum before ordering so you'll know what you're getting into.

:iagree: They've had some very long delays in delivering their product to the buyer- if they deliver it at all. It doesn't sound like they're in good financial condition at this point, so I certainly wouldn't give them a deposit ahead of time. Those who have done so may never see that money again.

I don't know about their financials, but the product is good. I installed a rs500 in my 71 last winter and couldn't be more pleased. Ordered it at Carlisle and received in beginning of November. A couple of weeks late but reasonable.

Roadster71, what are your rear gears? How do you like the low 1st gear?

He must of been a big money spender, no way should that company fail. In the beginning they has the normal startup f'ups but that was 10 years ago.

Lots of us have their transmissions so someone spent the money coming in or the company was mismanaged or other vendors were undercuttimg them so you have to match the price.

If I want a TKO tranny they are all the same so I am going to buy the transmission for the best price I can get, hope he makes it he' a nice guy :thumbs::thumbs:

I thank this forum for saving my ass. 30 days ago I almost gave them some money for one of there products. I am very glad people had posted their experience with this company. Too bad the product seems to be very good.

Ok...so..i like the short story...and i'm sorry for people that lost money...

From my understanding...short story... Keisler is a no gooey...out of business

TKO 600 = no goey also..?? or still ok to try to buy?

Are we left with the T56?

I like the T56..just wanting to know the options...in a short story...

Which way to go.

thanks guys for all the help on this forum !

Lots of vendors selling Tremec TKOs.

If this is true about Keisler closing their doors, then I'm sorry to hear of this. He was more than fair in my dealings with him. He DID treat me right.

as soon as I heard of this product, I said time will only tell, well after all the posts of waiting months for a trans, I can call summit and have it in 2 days , now that's a good product.as in tremec 500 0r 600 with a steehda shifter.

their website's still running...
hopefully its salvageable

3.36 rears and running a stock zz4 crate engine. The low first gear is a non issue. I prefer it over the stock munch.

Where did you get that info from APGENE?

Agreed. Without anything to substantiate this claim, I find that difficult to believe.

Regardless, this was enough to keep me from buying back when I ordered a new T56 Magnum.

Just called Keisler to check on my order, the phone message I got was "no one is available to take your call, please leave a message" I hope I'm not screwed here!

This doesn't look good

Chapter 7 petition filed yesterday it seems....

Thanks, looks like I'm screwed :toetap:

Well....SO much for my warranty........ ugh.

I'm more concerned about being able to get replacement parts for my RS400 if I need them. I don't want to have to eventually go to a TKO, unsynchronized reverse, and poorer shift quality. I can live without the warranty if I can still get it fixed down the road if need be.

At least you've gotten your transmission, I'd be happy with that - screw the warranty!
