Silver Sport Transmissions new conversion kits for GM street rod and Truck includes a perfect fit kit for GM street rods and trucks using Tremec’s TKO 5-speed transmission as the foundation for the kit. Tremec’s T56 Magnum 6-speed transmission is also offered in another kit which guarantees multiple shift locations without having to do any weird fabrication.
Street rod builders in the past have been reduced to trips to the junkyard for S10 tailshafts to modify T5 transmissions in order to fit in custom builds. No matter what street rod you are building, from a first generation Suburban to a Chevrolet Deluxe Styleline or Fleetline, these kits will be a perfect fit.
In addition to the multiple shifter locations, optional bellhousings, flywheels, clutch kits, and hydraulic actuators, ensure that all GM applications are covered.
Silver Sport claims that converting to the Tremec TKO 5-speed will experience a 30 to 50 percent increase in fuel economy. That is a difference that you will feel in your wallet. They also point out that the lower cruising RPM by having a 5-speed will reduce driver fatigue and reduce engine wear.
Ultimately, the conversion means tremendous fuel savings, more fun on cruises, and longer engine life. What is not to like about Silver Sport Transmission’s perfect fit kits?
