cant find a T56 locally --and used for $1800 delivered and a new tko isnt much more..

68 camaro ls2-- do you need the 6 speed or is a tko500/600 fine-- specifically the revised keisler RS 5 speed

will run 3.73 gears ..

any good places to get the tko with all the stuff i need-- i emailed keisler yesterday no reply yet

Biggest issues with the TKO is the shift quality of the unit compared to a T56. With stock brass rings, they can be very notchy. You can upgrade the rings to carbon fiber lined rings but that requires the unit to be disassembled, parts installed and reassembled which is going to raise the cost by about $400 roughly.

i was looking at the new rs5 speed that keisler has they state the shifter is smoother .. than regular tko..

There RS5 is nothing more than a T45 from a 96-01 Mustang with a different bell housing. Not exactly desirable compared to a T56 in my opinion.
