Ben, Thank you so much for the quick response and the manuals. I did all the body work, fabrication, assembly, for the car. The only things I did not do was the final paint (primed and block sanded it), install front and rear glass, and the headliner. I also installed new Recaro style seats and matched the houndstooth pattern to the rears. The transmission install was totally me, and I had never done anything like that before. Great manuals. Again, thanks for the help, look forward to getting into this portion of the build. Loch
MoreSome first generation Corvette customers find they don't have to notch the ashtray while others do. Rick had to modify his and he sent us some great images of the modification. He also reviewed the performance and installation. Hello Jack, Jeff and Ben, So glad I talked to you at Carlisle and I bought my TKO 600 from you guys. Installation went relatively easy on a lift. I think it would have been harder to do with the car on jack stands. If you're young probably no problem. My kit arrived within the week after placing the order with you while at Carlisle. I test fitted the transmission without a clutch installed which made it easy and took my drive shaft measurement at that time so you guys could get that made up. Had the drive shaft in a few days. Took the car out yesterday for a test drive. It was fantastic. It was quiet, no vibrations, and what amazed me was my speedometer was right on. I used a GPS to check it. I figured you guys set the gearing correctly but my old speedometer would be off. It’s like driving a completely different car now. It accelerates different, it sounds different and the gear combination I’m running is perfect for driving around town in 5th gear. Now I’m ready for some long distance car shows. Can’t wait to see how much my gas mileage has improved. I am more than happy with the kit. I know you’ll have some more orders coming your way. Rick & Peg
MoreHello Tami and Jack, I received a nice card in the mail. Thank you. Just a note to tell you the transmission kit I purchased for my '76 Corvette from Silver Sport Transmissions was delivered in good order to my mechanic, Vernon Dickson. He owns a shop and worked in the install between his regular customer jobs. He was pleasantly surprised that your kit seemed to be complete instead of other so called complete kits which are short several parts to actually be "complete" and then have to cherry pick other sources for them. I did have to buy a different starter, the starter from the previous automatic transmission will not work with the manual transmission. Tami, I would also like to brag on you. You were thorough and answered all my questions or got the answer I needed. Your attitude, knowledge and ability to handle a quote (and a customer) and make a couple of requested changes on the quote helped me make the decision to make my purchase from you. Jack, I've had a great experience with Silver Sport Transmissions. I have talked up your company and already have 2 other local prospects who will be contacting SST when they order their Tremec transmission. Thanks again, for the great service, product, and follow up. If you ever need a reference.... Sincerely, JD Prather - Skiatook, OK
