RICHMOND 5/6-speed kits...
Okay...sorry this is drawn out,but trying to figure out the best way to advertise these kits,and what is available.
I just became a dealer for these Richmonds,so please work w/me alittle in the beginning.
I ran a old Doug Nash 4=1 in a Camaro many moons ago,and loved it,and leaning t'wards installing one of these in my 68.
I have done some extensive search on the internet,and this forum on these,and the install of these transmissions in Corvettes.What makes these nice is the gear selections available w/most of these trans.They fit the vette tunnel better,can be used w/all of the existing parts,except the custom made trans brackets that I am including,and the need for the original style "big turbo 400 yoke".These are all included w/Long shifters,and by all my research...are superior to the Hursts that are available for these trans.These will fit the stock shifter hole,and there is no need to modify the crossmember,nor does the driveshaft need shortened,so you can use the one that you have.
Also,these are idea for the 3.08 cars,and 3.36s,and if you have higher gears,then cheaper to change the trans gears when ordering,than changing the rearend gears.
I have had some phone calls about these,and pms,and wanted to get this up,and available,but will be adding the complete conversions for the auto to manual conversion,and as always....I have scattershields available,performance clutch kits for ANY horsepower setups,Hyd. clutch/sl;ave setups,aluminum flywheels,steel,billet,LS1 flywheels,bellhousings,etc.I', more than willing to work w/you,and put together a kit for you.That's not a problem.
Until I get all the extras together,and posted..if someone is interested,then please pm me,and will get you taken care of.
I am still selling the TKOs,and they are GREAT transmissions,but I ran one of these,and was very pleased years ago,and these have been around for along time,and made right in SC.I just wanted to be alittle more versatile,but sold a TKO kit today.
All the trans will be shipped directly from Richmond,and all trans have a 1 year manufacturer warranty.
One more thing...as much as I hate to put this in words...I can beat Summitt,and Jegs on all these kits,and the additional items in the kits,except for the 6-speeds.They apparently buy in BULK,and are a couple hundred cheaper than me,so I would shop there,if you are wanting to go this route.I will sale you the "extra" parts needed to get this in your ride tho'.If I can do okay w/these,then the pricing will come down further,but right now they are cheaper on this one item.
