My buddy put an American Power Train TKO600 kit in his Fury and the kit less clutch arrived for a cost of just under $4,500. So whatever the going rate for the A855 is (which seems to be somewhat closely kept) would be the difference assuming you have existing factory 4 SPD components. APT can send a kit out the door tomorrow. So for an E or B body a kit is available if you are not set on a drop in solution.

the thing about the American Powertrain kit according to American Powertrain support is that sometimes you need to "modify" the floor and sometimes you don't.....hate to find out I am one of the modify victims after the trans arrives.

Really? "Victim" I don't get that attitude at all, these cars were built with such sloppy tolerances that stock "replacement" parts need to be modified. If you are installing a transmission that was never intended for your car and needs modification I don't see how you are being victimized. That's just Hot Rodding.

Jamie's product is the ONLY option that WILL bolt in: no risk, no excuses, no compromise due to the understood sloppy tolerances of how cars were made in the past.

Hot Rodding is an intergral aspect out our hobby that we enjoy- but many do not want a 5 speed to be a compromising component of our particular Mopars. We want a solution that does not alter the original configuration of these cars. Jamie is the only offering that provides such solution. With that, many of us are willing to pay the price and patiently wait for our unit to be built.

Jamie's 855 offering is the pinnacle of hot rodding: it is something that has been crafted to improve our cars-without excuse- and does so as if it was there all along. Something that does these 3 things in harmony is the truest form of hot rod engineering.

I agree whole heartedly, if your 833 fits then the 855 is engineered to fit and seems to be a game changer for people that want a modern trans, without the hammering. I can also understand American Powertrain POV, they have no idea if your nearly 50YO car is a well built survivor, a 99-pnt resto, or a clapped out rustbucket that has floorboards made of stolen stop signs, or just flogged on the strip for most of it's life and is bent to hell.

Not blaming American Powertrain for the product..it is what it is.....my ONLY issue is when they say it fits with no mods, then change their tune when you call.....I'm sure it is a fine unit.

Last I recall the Passon 5 speed is "currently" $4995, for that you get, transmission, shifter assy, and speedo cable

You'll need to procure all the other manual tranny conversion parts if you don't have them, or your vehicle is currently an automatic

I think it is excellent that American Powertrain and others (SST) are making the investment to bring other offers to the Mopar market. We need their engagement as well. But many are not willing to risk cutting on some of their cars. If I was building a pro touring car based on a 318 or /6 body their items would be considered. But I am not willing to cut on my X9 Numbers matching GTX (even though it is far from a show car). Many feel the same way on their more historically relevant rides. The more the merrier in this regard. Neither path is inexpensive and each have their merits. The point is that I and many others are willing to wait for Jamie to call any say their unit is ready. And for me, when the first one is done, I will place my order for a second one that same day.

I would really check your driveline angle in the mock up stage, if it is like the old Keisler perfect fit deal they supplied a rear cross member that lowered the rear trans mount by about 1.5 inches to have the A41 clear the tunnel. Which in my case caused a vibration issue, hence the reason I have a 855 in my car, which has been awesome since Aug 2013 and is getting close to 10000 miles on it.

I did, lasted 73 miles the first time, about 2000 2nd, found out the TPS was bad and not building pressure, by that time I was afraid of it so went manual after 6500 miles, transmission pressure gauge should be included. I should clarify that the eng was 635 HP and 665 Torque then, at the upper limit of the trans capability.
