Kiesler TK0 500 shifter vibration
I installed a Kiesler TK0 500 kit a few months ago. Everything seemed fine initally but now there is a shifter rattle/vibration from 2000 to 4500 RPM. The drive train and suspension are vibration free. Has anyone else experianced this problem? It seems to be getting worse the more I drive it.

There was a thread on this about a month back. Just do a search. But to save time just call Keisler as they came out with a new shifter to correct this.

My Keisler tranny. The shifter always shook from left to right from day one. I thought that was the way it supposed to be. It doesn't have that noise and rattle sound that my old BW T-10 had. That rattle drove me crazy
Now, I find out that it's not suppose to have any movement.
I don't even notice it anymore.
Just came back from a 4000 mile trip in my 78 Vette. That tranny made my trip very enjoyable
A what the hell. I'll keep it anyway. It's been really good to me for 2-1/2 yrs. as it is.
