Re: [Chevelle-list] Choose (richmound 6 speed or tremec 5 speed)

Brad, My recommendation of the T56 did not take into account a console. I don't have one, so the D and D T56 is a good choice for me but you may be better off with the 5 speed if it will locate correctly in your console.

I only say I 66 chevelle guy on the customer feedback though. Have you known of anyone who has actually installed this kit in a 66? I have been also looking at Fortes. They say they are on the  verge of developing a Tremec that will actually locate the shifter in the correct place for a 66 and allow you to use the 4 speed console. But I haven't seen a price yet. Also Kiesler says no cutting needed with there "kit" for $2700. How are they doing that? All Tremec I have seen have major tunnel surgery. I also seen a place to get a 6 speed Richmond for around $2700. I'm so confused.........
