Default Keislers 5 speed ?

Saw a recent post about a Keislers 5 speed in a C3. RPM at 80mph was around 2000.
Anyone know approx cost of this swap? Including the trans, any console or frame mods, and installation by a qualified shop.
I deal with a shop that could do it, just curious what the whole project would run.
Thanks-

You are very welcome.

If you go to the Classic site they do have some nice vid's of the install along with some other information on them. Well done and does show a bunch of good info.

I've installed 2 of the Keisler Tremec kits. No modifications required. Takes about 4-5 hours. Both customers are very happy with the results.

Is the car a 4 speed now or an automatic?
If it is a 4 speed already the cost is $3195 if it is an automatic the cost is $4500. These prices are for the kit. The labor is a different story. I would guess if it is a 4 speed now, the labor would be around 8-10 hours. If auto, probably around 15 hours or so. Keep in mind, if the installer has done this swap already the labor could be less.
We also have a Forum discount right now. $150 off of 4 speed swap and $200 off of auto to manual swap. Also we have $100 off of shipping.

Hope this helps.
If you need any more help from us, let me know.
