CJ Feb 20th, 05, 04:25 PM Bought mine from Jeff at Classic5speed. The install went without a hitch. If you have a console you may want to ask Jeff how well the shifter will line up. Mine is a non-console car so I just trimmed the opening a bit for the shifter. Cris railing68 Feb 24th, 05, 05:13 PM I have a TKO 600 from classicchevy5speed, I used one of their crossmembers and supplied shifter. It does fit the console w/shiftplate w/o issues. I didn't buy a kit per say but I guess it amounts to the same thing. I will be sending some photos and a write-up to Jeff in the near future.

Hurst - Jeff Feb 24th, 05, 05:39 PM 1968bbc Take a look here to see what is involved with installing a TKO into a 68 67-69 Camaro TKO installation notes (http://www.classicchevy5speed.com/67_69_camaro_transmission_install_notes.htm). It is pretty straight forward as the other guys mentioned. Also, take a look here for a picture of a a console with a stock Tremec shifter: Tremec buying tips and install pictures (http://www.classicchevy5speed.com/important_tips_Tremec_Purchase.htm). I have many other install pics if you would like to see them. Feel free to give me a call with any questions. Cris - let me know how you like the TKO Shawn - looking forward to seeing your install write up. |
