Legend Gear SS700
« on: March 02, 2013 - 12:54:48 PM »
Word on the street is the new Legend Gear & Transmission 5 speed is a great unit and well designed and will shift correctly at 7000. Unfortunately Kiesler think they have exclusive rights to sell it which means good luck dealing with them. LGT might have something to say about that later on when sales are low. Apparently it is drilled for the big 3 brands so the questions I would have is what diameter is the input retainer and what about shifter location. Also looks like a clutch plate change as it is not a 18 spline. Could be 23 though. No specs to review yet. It is rounded on the top of the case so would not pose the floor cutting issues that the Tremec does. I have my money down for the Passon A855 but might be a viable option for others as my dealer says it will be less money than the Passon unit. Something tells me that it is mostly designed for brand C so will be interesting to see if a fellow Moparite takes one on.

Did anyone else notice what that guy on moparts had to go through to get that box to fit? Supposed mopar holes not lining up, input shaft retainer not Dodge size, rear engine mount issues, speedo cable hits mount and gear lever in the center. Word is that it was a cancelled Ford order so they gave it to him. Lucky the fellow is/or has access to a machine shop. He redrilled the mount holes, machined the retainer and cut the floor a bit to clear the center lever. His was an auto though so the hole was probably near the center anyway and he just enlarged it. Don't know if he installed a 4 spd hump though. Good thing was it seems to fit inside the hump. Glad I am making the wait for the Passon unit though.
