Did you get your replacement trans yet?
No, still waiting.... I'll give them a call Monday, or tomorrow if it rains. I have tickets for the Mile High Nationals tomorrow, but the weather forecast looks like the most rain we have had all year

You have a lot of time and money tied up in what is supposed to be a "bolt in" upgrade, I'd be rather irate at this point.

Any of you guys put a decent amount of miles on their 5 speeds yet?
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...

Get that sucker bolted up ASAP so we can see how well (or not well) it fits in your e-body?

can I see more pics of the shifter.i have a cuda trans and shifter in my 65 belvedere afx and would like to try a ss700 thank you.
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
