5/6 speed direct bolt in?
Is there a 5 or 6 speed with overdrive that would be a direct bolt in? I've seen lots of posts about some that aren't. What about the 6 speeds from camaros and late model Vettes? Preferrably, I would consider a bolt in to mean, keep the existing bellhousing, clutch, pressure plate, and rear mounting surface. Obviously you'd have to change the shifter. oh yeah, and preferrably keep the existing driveshaft length.
It's better to ask now then it is to have to figure it out with the car on jackstands later!

The Keisler kit is the only bolt in overdrive tranny that I know. The kit does come with a different driveshaft but most of the over drives are longer and will require a shorter drive shaft anyway.

Richmond 5 speeds are....only thing you have to get is the Yoke from a Turbo 400 and change out one U joint on the drive shaft....no cutting to the frame required...also the tranny mount is different and can be purchased from the vendor or modified if you're handy with the welder....instructions included with the purchase
