The guy that started this particular thread has his Super bee out with the new gear vender unit. He sounds extremely happy.
It does not sap power like OD transmissions do.





What OD transmissions 'sap' power? Do you have any proof?? I have yet to see back to back 1/4 mile runs of anyone who's gone from a 727 to a 518, gear vendors or keisler auto while having made no other changes.

I've had one for 2 1/2 years and it's great! I run 3.23s in the back so highway cruising is very nice.

Installation was a breeze. On my 71 b-body all we had to do was hammer the trans tunnel a little bit to make some space, but barely. No cutting.

I love telling people I have a 6 speed auto.

A number of people have said that the gear splitting is a waste of time, I have to disagree with that. I run mine in manual mode and the kick I get when going from 1st to 1st/OD is incredible. When first winds out and you're near 6000rpms, kicking in the OD takes me down to a nice spot in the power band, and the car revs quickly through another 20mph or so.

I will agree that shifting from an OD gear to a higher non-OD gear is not clean. You have to first shift to the higher gear, and then once it engages, take off the OD. But in my experience it only takes about 1/3 of a second for that, so it's no big deal.

Cruiser,

I am the owner and founder of the company. Email me at skeisler@keislerauto.com. Anytime, anyone can call and ask for a supervisor, owner, etc. As hundreds of people will attest, Richard, Keith are excellent customer service guys. I had so many customers complimenting their service and care throughout the weekend at Carlisle.

I'll start off by giving you a free upgrade to the latest version of our software. It has a set up wizard for the tps that makes calibrating is so simple: pedal to floor, hit enter, then pedal at rest, hit enter - you are done. And this offer goes to EVERYONE that has our A-41.

We'll help you get sorted out. Have faith in Keisler Engineering ... we've been here 18 years and we're not going anywhere. We are the largest supplier of performance overdrive transmission to the mopar community and the muscle car market and a quantum leap past the other choices or suppliers of overdrive transmission. (bold statement, yes; let us prove it to you) The automatic is doing great, the Popular Hot Rodding feature that Steve Dulcich wrote is out now, and you should read it on our web site. Several of the folks that purchased it said they came to Carlisle just to purchase the A-41. We feel honored to have such excellent customers!

I'm driving my Kuda back from Carlisle now (at a hotel in Virginia to break up the 550mile late night trip). The Kuda has the A-41 with engine compression braking in 1/2/3, Dual Mode switch and Paddle shifter.

You guys should check out our Keisler TV www.keislertv.com and go to the transmission section and watch the A41 installation video.

Also, go to the Community page on www.keislerauto.com and join our newsletter. We have newsletters every 1-2 months, and there is lots of great stuff on the A41 in the newsletter coming out this month shortly.

See you at the Nats,

Shafi Keisler

Watch this video of Jonathan LaPaglia (actor "Cold Case") with his '73 Rallye Challenger. He was deliberating on a decision as you are. 5min

Then, watch this video of the A-41 installation and track driving. 3min
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JGZ9YL1-O8

As to the question of price, our 450LB-FT (Stage 1) complete kit for Mopar E/B/A/C-body is $3795 including new driveshaft, crossmember, etc.

Shafi, Thanks for the response. I did not get the help I needed from your techs, but I have spoken to them recently. I have faith in your company and I expect a great transmission when we figure this out. My transmission will be tested by another vendor and if something is wrong I will be sending it back. I'd expect you want to keep all your customers happy! Thanks Future Happy Customer
