I want opinions, alot of them.

I'm seriously considering putting a Tremec TKO 5-speed tranny from Keisler Engineering in my truck. Everyone I talk to tells me I'm nuts or stupid. I'm running a TH350 now.

I want to bang my own gears. The A/T is OK with the shift kit, but I want more gears and I think the truck would be alot more fun with a manual.

I can also get the shifter to mount in the location where my Lokar shifter is now. I can also get a shifter that stands tall enough that it will be comfortable to drive.

I know I should build the truck the way I want it because it is mine, but like I said, everyone tells me I'm crazy to want a manual tranny.

Please give me your .02
