Just thought I would post my thoughts on my recent purchase and install of a Tremec 3550 in my 88Coupe.

1). Love the Tranny. It is solid in everyway. Hope I never have to shift a t-5 again.

2). I did not need the crossmember, just broke loose the spot welds on the factory piece and it fit like a glove.

3) Buy a shifter. I cannot beleive that a $1,300 transmission could have such a cracker jack piece for a shifter. My Dad's F-150 had shorter throws! Now thanks to Hurst I am happy. Spend the money the first time and you won't have to do it 2 weeks kater like i did.

4) I understand that a Bellhousing from a 82-83 srod 4spd will work, but i bought the new piece.

Hope to try it at the track soon, maby Bristol in March
