I've got to go with mecman1 on this one. I just read through the latest Mopar Muscle Mag and there is the classic Keisler ad and I quote "Get the total package with Keisler---1) "Lowers engine RPM", 2) "Easy Installation", 3)"Extended engine life, 4) "More gears, uncompromised performance", 5) "All necessary components", and 6) "Highest quality parts". I guess 3 or 4 out of 6 isn't bad----------------- if you are a batter. I for one will never purchase anything from Keisler. Too much bad feedback here on Moparts. I've read Keiler's replys to posts and they seems to care. But, for the money people are laying down, don't sugar coat the product to cover the downside. Just my 2 cents.

PS: Why is every picture I see of XV Motorsport's ads, show the cars driving in the rain?






Ron, as far as XV's wet ads.....thats from their first eastcoast "track day"......I like using their photo of my car.....end of story, plus it hard for me to take pics and drive at the same time



And as far as your quote of the Keisler ad,.......I get 6 out of 6,.....I make dam sure of it!


I'm not "candy coating" any downside,....and.I'm not denying Mercman or others may have a problem?......where Mercmans problem lies, who knows, we can only speculate?......however .003 thou.......I'll take the time for .001-.001 1/2, I've found that the flywheel/ clutch, and bell need to be within min. tolerances, machining tolerances are VERY tight on the Keisler/TKO,.......plus Mercman, how many miles are on your tranny?......the Keisler/TKO is horrid the first few 100-250 miles for shifting/engagement, forget reverse!.....after 500-750 miles it's more fluid, .......more time/ break in, may be required.......I know the first Keisler/TKO, I put in shifted so bad, I felt like pulling it out and grinding it down to dust!......but after giving it some break in time,......Dam! it was awesome!......and I've been hooked on Keisler/TKO's since,........I could sit here and tell you all the "woes" that I've had with Gear Vendors and how they couldn't give me a free unit!.......I wish Keisler would give me a free tranny....Shafi? .....seriously if I had a problem with Keisler or any vendor, I'd be "ranting" also....Keisler sells me the same tranny that everyone else gets, I get the same service........but after QUITE a few trannies from them, I've yet to get a lemon?.....not saying it can't happen,.....hell I think their only human too, prone to mistakes?......Mercman as far as the trany hitting the floor, I agree, the TKO is tall upfront vs the 833, the floor needs to be massaged or gring some excess webs/ tabs off the case?.....it's what "hotrodding" is about, make it fit.......any salesman will tell you, bolt-on, snap-on, drop-in, etc,......hell even the "snap-to-gether" model kits we had as kids had issuses!......Mercman if your adamant about pulling your Keisler, do so......sell it and move on.....it's not for you?......on the other hand, before throwing in the "towel", go over your install, or reinstall, hell, you won't be the only one!.....if your tranny needs more breakin time,....work it man,.....serious, they need to be broken in, like a virgin on prom nite!




Ron, here's a "dry" track day at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Georgia
