Thanks for Bringing the Open Road Back to Us.   Good morning Jack, Thanks for the nice e-mail. After spending some time with Gene on the phone last Friday,I found his knowledge and overall enthusiasm for myself and my car to be top notch. His knowledge for your product led me to the purchase of the PerfectFit Kit and a rear end so my wife and myself can finish our build. Its nice to have a company that cares about car enthusiasts again. With the m-21 Muncie and 4:10 drum 12-bolt rear axle we have now, we are unable to take our 68 Camaro to car shows out side of or city limits. With your new system, we will be taking this car to car shows around the west cost: Northern California, Oregon, and Nevada. We will be talking and bragging about your service and your product. Thanks for being there, Jack, and bringing the open road back to us.

Good Morning Jack and Gene, I just wanted to let you both know that the 5-speed conversion on my 1969 AMX went as smoothly as you promised. I completed the installation yesterday and drove the car for about 50 miles with no issues. All of the measurements required were checked and the only thing out of tolerance was the hydraulic throw-out bearing cushion. I called Gene with the measurements and he knew exactly what spacer was needed to correct it. I had the driveshaft balanced after installing the new slip yoke and the car drove with no vibrations and no additional driveline adjustments. 70 mph at 2100 RPM instead of 3200+ RPM - a very pleasant ride now at highway speed. Attached are pictures of my 1969 AMX that I have owned since 1979 (40 years). Thank you, Vic Torasso

Hi All, The new A41 transmission is complete, and as others have said , this is the best upgrade I could have spent money on, glad I didn't wait any longer . I had my mechanic do the install, as other maintenance was being done so it made sense for him do the install, and I'm not as young as I use to be, really couldn't see doing it on jack stands. LOL. As I stated earlier after the delivery The mechanic who is excellent, with all this stuff said "this is an excellent swap of the highest quality, this company has gone above and beyond" He was truly Impressed and had to show it off to a couple of his ( mechanic) buddies who were also impressed and thought it was so cool that the mechanical speedo could be used ( these guys are old school hot - rodders). As for me I can't believe this is the same car, it drives so much better, like a modern day car, it's un-believable. It's hard to explain, but I feel so much more comfortable driving it now, and if it is even possible to imagine the car seems much more as ease, hope that doesn't sound too crazy. Much quieter at highway speed and less effort on the engine. The install went without a hitch everything that was needed was there, and all the components worked great together, no second guessing, and excellent installation instructions, I don't know why anyone would buy anything other than a SST Perfect Fit conversion. Thank You for a great product, everyone at SST has every right to be proud of their product! Brian Woods

Michael wrote us and said, "This is fantastic! It's a whole different car. It's amazing what a great transmission will do for a great motor!

Hi Cheryl: This is my 1970 Chevy Monte Carlo SS454 with your TKO600 5-speed behind my throttle-body fuel-injected 454 motor. I have had it on the road since February 2018 and have put about 2000 miles on it this Summer and absolutely love it. Best regards, John Engle

Jesse called us after trying 2-3 other aftermarket shifters that all leaked. He heard about our new STX® shifters that just hit the market and this is what he had to say after installing his new STX short throw shifter: Jeff, I want to thank you and your team for all the help in designing and building the custom shifter for my T56 Magnum. I absolutely love it !!!!! It fits PERFECTLY !!!! It is a work of art and pure perfection !!!! Thank you so much, Jesse Petas

Good morning Jack,    Just a quick note to say how delighted we are with the new Tremec Magnum we installed in our old 1968 Cougar. Our car is not a trailer queen its more like a Steve McQueen driver. We had to put the OD to the test and hit the interstate last Thursday and headed to Springfield IL. for a big car show. Everyone we spoke to asked where we parked the trailer? We dont own a car trailer we drove the 13 hours 780 one way miles. Needless to say we won the long distance award hands down. The next day we made a few stops on Route 66 and decided to head to Pontiac, Illinois.   This Magnum makes it so easy to keep up with anything on the road. The hydraulic clutch has been effortless even in big city stop and go traffic. Underhood temps are cool and comfortable. The fuel economy is much better even with a worked over 331 Ford. We are still out on the road enjoying shifting my own gears until Tuesday. I expect we will be close to a 2000 mile round trip with all the side stops and tearin up the interstates. Thank you again for a great very well engineered transmission package.    Matt Shuman

Good Morning Jack, I Just wanted to say thanks to you, and your staff, for the Great Customer Service I received with my transmission purchase, and the help with the installation.  I know there were some issues and concerns at the beginning with some installation problems on my end, but you and your staff worked closely with me to make sure that I had everything I needed to make the installation right, even swapping the 6 speed transmission for a 5 speed transmission which fit much better in my 1969 Firebird.   The fact that you spoke with me personally over the phone, and made some recommendations to me on what you thought would be best for me and my car, made all the difference in the world to how things turned out.  Your advice was right on the money, and the final installation went just fine with no hangups.  Without your help, I probably would still be fighting the installation of the transmission.  Now that everything with the transmission is completed, along with my totally rebuilt 400 motor, I'm enjoying the car more than ever with that 5 speed overdrive transmission. Once again, thank you for all your help, and please thank all the members of your staff that assisted me at different times throughout this process, including Gene, Franky, and Richard. If I come across anyone looking to upgrade their transmission in the future, I will definitely recommend Silver Sport Transmissions to them. Tony LaRosa

Dave purchased a TREMEC TKO 600 for his 1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler and sent us these great photos and a testimonial. Richard,         Glad to here from you! I couldn’t be happier with this install. I didn’t have to cut anything! Yes my car has a removable shift hump. Everything bolted right in place! We had a break in the weather two weeks ago, I got to take the car for a test drive and am thrilled with how it drives now! This was the best upgrade I have made to any vehicle! Be sure to tell Jeff that I appreciate all the support you guys gave me! I have been recommending SST to everyone that will listen to me! Thanks so much! Dave Clark

A few months ago, I purchased a 1970 Corvette with the intent of installing a TREMEC Magnum 6 speed transmission in it.  My Corvette was an LT-1(370 HP) with a 4 speed and 3.70:1 Rear Axle Ratio. In addition to the transmission, we also installed a hydraulic clutch actuator and our new SST Advanced Friction™ STR clutch kit.  The STR is designed for engines up to 450 ft. lbs. of torque and to provide light pedal effort and smooth street characteristics. We completed the install, the day before our Christmas vacation and I decided to drive it home to show my family and friends.  Home is 890 miles away (Knoxville, TN to Pryor, OK).  This is a fairly daunting trip when you consider the car is 48 years old and we had only driven it a few times around the plant.  But, I had a lot of confidence in our team and our products so I took off for Oklahoma. The trip home provided a great test of our products.  Although it was mainly highway driving (I40), the route took me over the Cumberland Plateau (6% grade) and the cities of Nashville and Memphis during the peak rush hours. Prior to the TREMEC Magnum, 2000 RPM would get me 44 MPH in high gear (4th).  With the Magnum, I could get 54 MPH in 5th and 69 MPH in 6th.  At 2300 RPM, this increased to 62 MPH in 5th and 79 MPH in 6th.  I can’t imagine making this trip without the advantages of an overdrive transmission. The Magnum transmission handled the mountains very easily in 6th gear…even the steepest grades.  And, on the open road, it was easy to keep up with or pass the other vehicles. 5th gear was especially important when driving in heavy traffic, like rush hour in Memphis and Nashville.  It allowed me to operate in overdrive a relatively slow speeds when my engine couldn’t handle the 6th gear overdrive ratio. Many times, we are asked what the advantage of the Magnum is over the TKO and this is the big advantage to me.  You will be able to use overdrive more often if you have the option of a .80 overdrive in addition to a .63 or .64. All of the equipment performed flawlessly.  The clutch was very friendly, it has nice street characteristics.  The pedal effort was light, no chatter and it gripped very well.  The hydraulic actuator felt really nice and it will never need to be adjusted.  There were no vibrations and the car ran smoother than it ever had. It is clear why our customers tell us “This is the best upgrade my car ever had”

Jim installed a stock, out of the box TREMEC TKO into his 1981 Camaro. He did purchase an offset shifter stub, which put the shifter close to the stock location, but his driveline angles were completely off. Plus the shifter wasn't completely right either. He came to us with this complaint, "While the unmodified version worked with the offset shifter stub....it still did not allow the shifter body to clear inside the shifter opening.  This created an annoying driveline vibe because I was not able to lift the tail of the transmission high enough." We sent him our Silver Sport Transmissions PerfectFit™ TREMEC TKO for 2nd Gen F-bodies. The streamlined transmission and compact shifter were able to get the correct driveline height in the tunnel, he only had to massage the tunnel a little where the corners of the TKO interfered. In Jim's experience, the transmission was able to come up an additional 5/8" to 3/4", correcting the angle. He now has no vibration (although he does believe years of driving around with bad driveline angles have damaged his U-joints, which he plans to replace). As for how the transmission shifts, Jim's smile says it all! He likes "that [the SST Shifter] feels so firm". He's proudly wearing his SST hat while taking his Camaro out on a test drive.

After much research I ordered a TREMEC 5-Speed PerfectFit Kit from Silver Sport Transmissions for my '55 Chevy which had a 700R4 Automatic. They were very prompt and thorough in repsonding to my questions. I received a complete quote quickly and in fact, never received a quote at all from one of SST's competitors. The kit was indeed very complete. A couple of questions came up during installation, but were promptly answered and all went smoothly. I am very satisfied with all phases of this purchase. you can't go wrong dealing with Silver Sport Transmissions. - Rusty Muller

I have finished my project with your product that was purchased by my installer and I am pleased with the outcome. Thanks.

It’s great to work with all you fine people.  In fact, you might be interested to know that we have history; that we’ve all been down this road together before.  My ’66 Sting Ray depicted in the attached picture is fitted with a Keisler Perfect Fit TKO-600 kit, since about 2008.  With the factory 427 and 4.11: 1 rear axle ratio, the 5 speed overdrive transmission makes this car so much more pleasurably drivable than the original designers at Chevrolet could ever possibly have imagined.  All best, Robert

Jack, The 1957 Eldorado Seville I am working on needs a replacement for the original Turbo-Hydramatic. Having refreshed the original engine considerably, bored and stroked to about 400 cubic inches, upgraded with LS-rods, light weight forged aluminum pistons with ultra-slender metric rings, reconditioned dual 4-barrels and a performance regrind of the original cam by Isky Cams, bolting the old transmission back up to this rejuvenated power plant would be futile, like encouraging one’s grandmother to compete in a wet “T-shirt” contest. Even the most ardent desire to compete could never conceal the near total lack of the attributes necessary for success . . . Thanks again, All best, Robert Goodrick

Friends, I had a special day yesterday and would like to share my experience. Just as I was getting in my '57 Chevy convertible to go home from the car show in Eagle River, three men with a blind teenage girl came up to ask questions about the car. What engine, How long have you had it ? etc. long story short.. Her dad asked if he could show the car to his blind daughter. How does a person show a blind person something ?? I didn't know what to expect but said "Sure". Her dad showed her the car by holding her hand and touching almost every area, both inside & out and explained to her what it was or did.. Fenders, hood, chrome pieces, grill, glass even the tires. He was very thorough. When they approached the passenger door, I opened it and offered her to sit inside. Her dad showed her the dash, clock, door handles and window cranks with his & her hands, explaining each as they were touched.. I asked her to hold her hands out and I dropped the keys in her hands then folded her hands around the keys. I told her to give the keys to her dad and take a drive around the parking lot.. I closed the door and he slid in behind the wheel.. I felt a lump in my throat.. This was something special for me. He drove her around the parking lot for about 5 minutes. She was smiling when she got out and her dad had tears streaming down his face.. I asked her for a hug and I got a one of the best ever.. It was an emotional time. My eyes leaked too.. We all shook hands and they went inside to see the car show.. I was smiling the most. It was really nice to help bring an experience like that to someone less fortunate... Taylor is 16, a near 4.0 student and completed Alaska's Blind education program. Soon Taylor will continue her advanced education in New York . Several people watched as Taylor's dad drove around the parking lot and waved as they drove by.. I am blessed in many ways.. and yesterday, being a car guy with Taylor was a very special day. Ben Ben also shared some photos with us of his car and his recent visit to beautiful Mt. Denali in Alaska. His 57 Bel Air has a Silver Sport Transmission Tremec TKO 5-speed kit in it!
