The Keisler RallyeSport 5-Speed PerfectFit® System is the easiest and most complete way to put a modern 5-speed manual overdrive transmission in your classic muscle car, street rod or truck.
Based on the advanced Borg Warner T-45 5-speed built from 1996-2001, the remanufactured Keisler RS® revolutionizes this transmission design, incorporating the robust BW T-56 carbon fiber synchronizers to all gears including reverse. Plus, new SAE 9310 chrome-nickel-moly steel alloy gears (when required), CNC ground in the USA provide high torque, silent operation.
Carbon fiber lined synchronizers provide 7000 RPM silky smooth, low effort shifts, and reverse is also synchronized. Single rail architecture with Guide Plate means you won’t miss a shift, especially the 2-3 at the track. OEM proven high mesh gear design provides nearly silent operation. Enjoy the new best-in-class 5-speed Keisler RS® at a price that beats the competition every time. One drive with the Keisler RS® and you won’t want anything less.
Complete auto-to-manual component kits are also available for many popular vehicles, including bellhousing, clutch, flywheel, clutch linkage, pedal kit, etc.

Testimonials
Recent Testimonials...Walt Reynolds - '68 Z28 Camaro
I probably should have done this a long time ago but here I go. I am the original owner of a 1968 Z/28 Camaro. It has about 25000 original street miles and over 8000 1/4 mile drag strip passes. It still has original paint and interior except the carpet has been replaced a few times. In 2006 I went on my first Hot Rod Magazine Drag Week. At the time, the car had a Super T10 4-speed and 4:56 gears. It was not very fun to drive 1000 miles at 4000rpms! In 2007 I installed my Keisler T56 and 5:14 gears for Drag Week. The transmission made it so much easier to drive in the highway. 75 mph was about 2200RPMS in 6TH (.50) For this years (2010) Drag Week I changed the rear gears to 5:57 which is the ratio I used back in the 70's. For Drag Week 2010 I had set three goals. Make the whole round trip, lift the front wheels off the gound (pull wheelies), and ET in the 11's. Well I made the first two which isn't too bad. My car is an original 302. It is set up like an NHRA stocker. It is .030 over with a Lunati RL302 stock eliminator cam, Manley Rods, original intake manifold and 4053 (780 CFM) Holley carb and Summers Brothers spool and axles. It launches at 7000 RPM and I power shift @ 7500 RPM. This year David Freiburger of Hot Rod asked me if I would have my car lettered like it was for the 1970 Winternationals and I said yes. Here are some picturesof the car both ways. I want to thank Keisler for the great kit. It was very easy to install and works fantastic. I think I want to check out the new clutchless model!
Robert Kostash - '69 Camaro RS Yenko Pro-Tour
The shop that completed the Pro-Tour project has used Keisler 5 speed and 6 speed kits numerous times...they were keen to do another Keisler TKO600 for my car. I also highlighted the progress through the winter on Pro-Touring.com. The car now drives just super, with the tight shifting Tremec. I just love the overdrive!
