Looking for Keisler TKO experience
I'm looking to hear about your Keisler TKO conversion. I have an '88 Vette that I'm looking to swap out the 4+3 with a Keisler TKO 600. Seems like a pretty straight forward swap.
If you have one, please share your experience. Thanks FS |

Well, I got it in and all and all it was a very simple and smooth installation. I indicated the BH to make sure the mount hole was concentric with the crank, then bolted everything in The Torque arm bracket fit perfectly but I did drill two holes in the top of the bracket so I could use two 1/2 -13 bolts and nuts on the top of the beam, the same as the bottom of the beam. You will see some SS Allen head bolts which I used because the bolt kit I received was missing these bolts and the hardware store were, amazingly, all out of Grade 8 Hex Bolts. All that I need to do is bleed my new slave, this has been one true PITA to bleed, but I will get that done this week. I did drive the car and the clutch engagement is only 1/2" off the floor board which ain't right, but I will get this resolved this week. Also, I need to add that the Keisler guys are a class act, they answered all of my questions, and tailored the quote to eliminate parts that I already had, another company that I called said "to take their quote in its entirety or leave it", essentially I believe they were too busy to work with me. Also, the Keisler tech guys called and PM'd me to make sure that I had all of the parts and offered to help in any way, even offered their cell phone #'s for me to call on the weekend,, service above and beyond in my opinion. So KUDOS to Keisler !!!!!!!!!! Pics below are of ZF BH and 4+3 BH and ZF tranny and TKO tranny, I used all 4+3 hydraulic slave and master Also, you can use a bolt on TOB costing $350 or a slip on HOWE 82870 TOB costing @ $150 |
