5 speed

i've got a 70 1500. its a 3 speed on the floor. are there any good 5 speed or 6 speed trannys out there that fit ?? i assume im going to have to get some sort of hydraulic clutch setup. or does anyone know if there are any out there that will use the mechanical linkage ??

Re: 5 speed

there are mechanical linkages tranny out there such as keisler kits and classic chevy 5 speed you are talking pretty big money.

some of us use a nv3500 tranny out of a late 90's truck, others use late model camaro trannys they have the hyd clutch. use the search and you should find much info on this.

Re: 5 speed

Finally got my Keisler Tremec installed behind my 250" in my '67 this week. It fits in perfectly (if you are willing to cut your floor and bolt-in a high-hump tunnel). The throw between 1st and second is only 4" with the Hurst shifter that comes with the kit. It has a .64 5th gear for mileage and will handle 550 HP. Appears to be a sweet deal. I think the 3K is worth it. I plan to have the trans for a while. I've got pictures if anyone is interested.

Special K - Sorry we won't see you today at Mattc10's.
