I also sent them a video clip of the problem so they could see how the shifter dropped into neutral when coasting in 5th gear.

I have tickets for the Mile High Nationals tomorrow, but the weather forecast looks like the most rain we have had all year

Been driving all summer on this ss700, I can say I'm happy with it, aside from the initial issues, I've had no further complaints... About 3800 miles still no leaks, shifts well, throw is similar to a stock 4 speed. you really don't feel the shift gate,just seems to glide gear to gear, nice... No vibrations at 70 mph in 5th, smooth at 120 mph in 4th on the power, hit 5th under power?, not going there on the street, though the 535 is still pulling... As for pounding on it, I've side stepped the clutch a couple times at 4500, caught 2nd with out getting out of the throttle, then hard into 3rd...haven't noticed any problems shifting yet... But as my Dad keeps telling me, "You only going to get so many really good power shifts, you can use 'em all today, over a week, month, season, years, your call son it's your time and money"... My comment on the ss700, if you can accept a little modification, and fabrication, it is the best After market 5speed for the $$, and fits in an automatic tunnel...

Keisler said there may have been a crack in the tailhousing? The told me they have had another transmission returned with the 5-th gear comming out of gear, and they said they modified the shift rail detent, and added a stiffer detent ball spring? I think my transmission is cursed. It was supposed to be shipped weeks ago, but when they were testing the transmission on their test machine, the test machine broke....

I got my trans back in the Coronet, and I am changing the crossmember spacer from 1-1/2" thick to 1-1/4" so the transmission will fit in the modified tunnel without modifying the new trans tailshaft.

Hi 65 Belvedere. Here are a few pics of the "Shifter", I assumed you meant the shifter assembly or Mechanism. The Shifter is a reproduction Pistol Grip Keisler included in their Kit. The Issues I have encountered are small but an annoyance as I have little time to fuss over logistics. 1). The Isolator fasteners included in the kit were 1/2"-12x1 I found I needed 7/16"-13x1 2). They haven't shipped my Speedo/Trans Gear 3). There were no Crossmember Fasteners included. I assume I need the 3/8-16x4 as the OEM type are. I am currently welding in a tunnel hump and as soon as I get my dowel pins I will dial in my bellhousing. The MAX TIR,(Total Indicated Runout) cannot be more than .005 7911382-002.JPG (221 downloads)
