I would look at a lakewood scattershield if I was you. it might be more money, but it's not that much more. I paid $400 for my scatter shield, and if my clutch ever decides to start throwing shrapnel, my feet will be safe. if the clutch lets go at 6,000 rpm, the stock bellhousing and floor won't be enough to save your feet.

I paid $4,000 for everything in my kit and it did not come from keisler. I got the lakewood bell, TKO-600, kelsey-hayes street/strip clutch with beefed up springs for more holding force, flywheel, tilton hyd. bearing, and master cylinder w/TKO bearing retainer, and topped it all off with a pistol grip shifter.

mine took about 1500 miles before it really started to shift smoothly. it's to the point now that I don't even use the clutch unless i'm stopped.

and mine does whine a bit as well. glad to hear others do too.

if you get the stock rear shift tower that's red anodized aluminum, BUY A MECHANICAL SHIFT STOP!

once mine loosened up some and became easier to shift, I overshifted into 2nd, locking it into gear. I had to tear the center of the truck apart, remove the access cover in the middle, and with a pry bar, pop it out of 2nd gear.

3 days later, I did it again. only this time, I thought that too much force locked it into gear, then I should be able to pop it back out of gear with enough force too, right?

wrong.

I broke the 3/4 shift dog thats on the end of the rail. I limped home, shifting from 2nd to 5th, because I couldn't shift into 3rd, and if I shifted into 4th, I had no way of getting it back out of 4th.

bottom line, buy some sort of mechanical shift stop for these transmissions. after it happened to me, I posted online at Moparts to see if I broke my transmission or what the hell exactly happened, and several folks said that it happens a lot with these gear boxes.

I have the midshift location and the Keisler shifter, where can I get the stop??

I got mine from Keisler, but it's not for the midshift location. I'm using the stock location on the TKO that uses the red anodized shifter with 6 bolts holding it down. I did have to cut a new hole in my floor to do so, but a new hole was cheaper than a mid-shift shifter relocation kit.

I'd call them to ask them what they suggest to use as a shift stop.

I should hopefully have my truck going this weekend, I have to replace the slave cylinder line as it developed a leak after ther exhaust was put in. I found some high pressure fuel line and im going to try and patch it with before I buy a new master cylinder, line and slave cylinder setup.

I don't think high pressure fuel line will work. high pressure fuel line is rated to like 50 or 60 PSI, and you're probably going to make more than that in your clutch line, plus, if it's not designed for brake fluid, the rubber could swell up on you, or even buldge out under pressure.

you need line thats rated for brake fluid and brake applications.
