    We just installed a Keisler TKO 600 kit in my 72 GS convertible. Went in perfect. Very minor mods to the tunnel, stock location for a 4-speed console. Put it all together except the seats and then tore it back apart... the motor's heading to TA after New Years for some steroids so I haven't driven it yet. I went with 3.73's so it should run pretty good.

    Keisler was a great kit and excellent company to work with. No regrets so far!

    Good luck,
    Jeff

    And what about the clutch fork/slave cylinder bracket? Buick bellhousings dont have the bracket to mount the slave cylinder on? How did you fix that, made a bracket that mounts on the crossmember??Or does kessleir have one in their kit??

    Marc -

    I hope this helps...

    My car was already a 4 speed so I didn't need to add any clutch linkage or pedals. I stayed with the factory clutch linkage rather than coverting to a hydraulic design. It sounds like you're converting from an auto.

    Here's a link to Keisler's website that probably has the complete kit you need. Although mine was a bit less complex, it wasn't missing a single thing that was needed. I have no doubt this one would be the same.

    Check it out.... http://www.keislerauto.com/index.php?/1964-1967-chevelle/gto-5-speed-perfectfit-kit-tko-600.82-auto.html

    Good luck,
    Jeff

    Yeah, my car is an automatic on the floor.
    Keisler does not seem to include a Buick bellhousing and they do not seem to have the clutch pedal bracket too.....anyway, I have not contact them yet as im not ready ($$$) financialy right now...
