well aware of Mr Forte. He is truly a resource to this board.

installed by me, a TKO would be $3k +.
my point was that locally T5, T-3550 w/ bell, clutch, pressure plate, slave, shifter, etc was running $800-$900.

If I was looking to go auto, yes, I could find a c4/c6 at the junkyard and rebuild it...
