I am looking for the best Richmond 5 spd price, tried the link and it connects to Ricks Camaros-a part of Ecklers. Checked under transmissions and no Richmonds, all T-56's.

I ordered a new Richmond 5-speed o/d from Eckler's, 15% off. http://www.ecklerscorvette.com/corve...1963-1981.html
Now I would like some input or advise from forum members that have some experience with pressure plates, flywheels and clutches. I have a 1966 convertible with original 300hp motor that has some performance upgrades (intake manifold and carb). Originally the car had a Power glide trans that was replaced with a TH350 and the rear end is posi with a 3:08 gear. I plan on doing all the work myself and do not want the cost of this update to get out of control. I'm not looking for just the least expensive parts, but good value with some performance. The only rule I have is no made in China parts.
*Bell housing, 621 reproduction?
*flywheel, 153 or 168 tooth
*clutch size, 10-11" (26 input spline)
*pressure plate type
*Linkage, mechanical or Hydraulic.
*Aft trans support bracket
