On another forum I visit, there were numerous guys that had waited well over 6 months for a transmission. Repeated calls to Keisler were answered with the same "you will have it soon".

Good transmission, poorly run business.

It is always sad when a company fails. I diminishes the whole performance industry when we loose another performance manufacturer.

And that waiting period went on for years. It's amazing to me people would buy from them seeing all the posts about waiting and waiting.

Good transmission because of Tremec or Borg Warner design. They constantly referred to OEM style slave cylinders as "Keisler clutch release system components" and their T45 derivative RS series as "Keisler's new design" and other such misnomers.

The Rallye Sport program was well on its way to becoming a brand new transmission

I can think of a few companies in the performance industry that also amaze me that they still get business.

I visit quite a few performance part manufacturers. If you saw their facilities, you would really wonder how they are in business.
