No stock 5 or 6 speed trannies will fit the tunnel and console w/o cutting and or other fab work.

We do sell a complete bolt in kit for your Vette based on a modified Tremec TKO or T56. Both kits include every last nut, bolt, bracket, etc... needed to convert from automatic or 4 speed to a 5 or 6 speed.

The 5 speeds require NO MODIFICATIONS to your car, maitain the factory appearance and have your choice of 3 gear sets all with o/d. The 6 speeds require some tunnel and x member mods, but the shifter location and console remain unchanged.

Let me know if I can help

Robert,
I appreciate the information you have provided. It would be a dream realized if I could afford your transmission at this time. The ability to just remove my TH350 and directly replace it with your transmission without modification would be wonderful. But right now my budget doesn't allow it. I'm trying to make this happen as cost effectively as possible, knowing that I will be doing a lot of fabrication or extra work that I wouldn't have to do with your 5 speed; but my labor is cheap and luckily I'm have the ability to do it myself. Living in the Knoxville area makes it more frustrating, knowing you are here locally and not having the ability to use your tremendous products at this time. I have heard only good things about your products and service and look forward to the day when I can use them.
Bernie
