Hi All,

The Mopar E-body RS 5-Speed will be online by Q2 (Mar-Jun).  The preliminary shifter layout is complete, and continues through the design phases.  So stay tuned, and please read the NEWS RELEASE HERE

We are going to be putting more information up. Join our Newsletter and stay in touch with new product updates.

If you have a TKO, trade it in and get a better fitting, better shifting and better quality transmission for less money. There is no amount of upgrades we or anyone can do the TKO to make it fit and shift like the RS.

I just sent Mopar Muscle a question to the editor if they would plan on doing a story on a shootout review of the new Passon, the new RS Tremic, and the new Mc Cleod.
 
It would be great to read a review about all 3.
Kinda like what Car & Driver does when new cars come out.

Great idea Mike.  I want a 5 speed real bad, and now that there are three to chose from, it would be great to see a comparison between them.

If everybody puts a request in to their favorite Mopar mag, I bet it'll happen.

That would be great but the RS isn't a Tremec product. Tremec is a Mexican company that makes the TKO line. The new RS is made in these United States.  :thumbsup:

Also, it would be kinda hard to get the McLeod into the mix if they can't get one out the door. I hear Passon is close though.

Bump... 

I am soooo in line for this.   After a few fwy drives I just have to make the switch away from my trusty 727...  yes I know the rear end gearing is part of my issue, but the 5 speed sounds so sweet.

I'm saving my Benjamin's going this route before I paint the car... ha!

Last newsletter I received about a week or so ago mentioned the RS is now shipping for those that ordered it. Since they've been given the go ahead and approved for release, I'd say it wouldn't be long before we see the E-Body specific version.

Hopefully soon.

I received a newsletter too, somebody is playing games perhaps. I have had dealings with Keisler and found them very helpful, prompt email replies and delivery of parts to a third party for me.   :bigsmile:
