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 Chevelle, El Camino, GTO, Cutlass/442, or Skylark/GS.

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 available also, including bellhousing, clutch, flywheel, clutch linkage, pedal kit, etc.
