LGT-700 5-Speed Manual Transmission

[KEISLER]

Hi All,

We are now ready for mass production launch on the LGT-700 and it's KEISLER PerfectFit version, the SS700. This USA designed and built transmission is a major advancement over all 5 & 6-speeds available on the market now. You can learn about the product here: http://www.keislerauto.com/ss700.html

Here are some facts about the SS700:
1) DESIGNED PURPOSELY FOR MUSCLE CARS & CLASSIC FOR EASY INSTALLATION - the SS700 is designed specifically for our muscle cars and classics (unlike the TKO and T56, which are adapted for aftermarket from other designs). The cases, and shift system has been optimized for every popular classic GM, Mopar, Ford, AMC vehicle, PLUS some late model muscle.

2) ADVANCED SYNCHRONIZER SHIFT SYSTEM
The carbon kevlar lined blocker rings (single and double cone) synchro technology of the SS700 is far more advanced than the TKO, Richmond, Muncie, T10. Shift effort is less than any of these and the T56 6-speed. Additionally, the SS700 runs steel forks, bronze fork pads, billet synchro keys, bronze shift cup, cam roller bearing 5th/Reverse, and guide plate system single rail design. This is far more precise than the truck based TKO multi-rail which allows you to hit 5th as easily as 3rd when making a 2-3 shift. The SS is rated for 7500RPM shifts (TKO is rated for 6000RPM shifts, unless modified). All gears, including reverse are synchronized; no more clunk/grind going into reverse.

3) ADVANCED HELICAL GEAR DESIGN
All gears have undergone thorough design for gear tooth profile, sliding contact load and other critical paramaters. The resultant gearing design is high strength and quiet. All gears are CNC cut and CNC 6-axis gear tooth ground, then heat treated and shot peened. This contributes to quiet operation and high torque rating of 700LB-FT. The LGT-700 & SS700 are the ONLY aftermarket manual transmissions running GROUND TOOTH form gears.

4) WIDE RANGE OF BELLHOUSING ADAPTABILITY
Four (4) bolt patterns have been developed for the LGT & SS: 1) GM Muncie/T10, 2) FORD TOPLOADER, 3) FORD T5, 4) CHRYSLER A833
Four front bearing retainer configurations will also be supplied: 1) GM, 2) FORD, 3) CHRY LARGE, 4) CHRY SMALL

5) CHOICE OF RATIOS
Close Ratio: 2.66, 1.73, 1.33, 1.0, .68
Wide Ratio: 2.97, 2.07, 1.43, 1.0, .68 (available late 2012)
Optional 5th Gear Ratio, 0.80 (available late 2012)

6) HIGH QUALITY SHIFTER, Included
Features adjustable bias springs

You (Keisler) already have 200 orders for trans that hasn't even started production yet (planned July 12 )? That is just crazy, especially after the problems with your other RS series delays. Have you guys shipped all of the remaining 500 orders (or now defunct 600's)?
