Gunther, you say "it had... and it had..." Did you buy it that way or have someone modify it for you?

Hi

I bought it that way. It is a GM T56 Viper tranny.
Keisler also sold it at a certain time.
It was only on the market for a short while , after this, Mopar claimed to have some rights or so and it was no more allowed to be sold .

I bought it from D&D Performance ( Chicago ) end of 2005 and installed it that winter 2005/2006.

I do not know if it is available again like this or in a similar configuration.

Rgds. Günther

I drove a lot of muscle cars in the 60 & 70's with 4 speeds and none of them were even close to the ease of shifting of my Richmond 6 speed. Just needs a little muscle memory in the hand and arm to remember the pattern.
