keisler's 6-speed dual-overdrive is supposed to be darn close to bolt-on. i'm pondering doing one in the distant future. if anyone's done it, i'd love to hear more.

oh! good idea i could use pics also, but the movie idea would be great!
I am looking at a 6spd in a 95 vette. (were these all the zf transmissions), because i thought the camaro and firebirds had something else (saginaw?)
thanks again,
Don :(
