This review is for the TREMEC TR-4050 transmission and conversion kit. I tried to leave it on their website, but the captcha never let me post (probably why there are no reviews) Pros and cons to this transmission and kit. This kit still requires a lot of additional parts and work. Transmission shifts and drives good but make a hell of a rattling noise at low RPM that SST told me is "normal". You can't hold a conversation at a stoplight, and when you roll into a parking lot everyone will be looking at you because it sounds like something in your vehicle it broke. In the GM squarebody trucks and SUVs, it won't work with any transfer case but the NP205 (I wasn't told this before it was paid for and shipped). The NP205 was harder to mount then the transmission, and required some additional brackets and welding. The TR-4050 seems to work well (only 1K mike to base that on). Plan to spend about another $5K to additional parts outside this kit if you're doing the work yourself. I replaced a 3 speed auto with this transmission. I'm okay that I had to put the NP205 in there (stronger then my NP208), but the rattle noise is obnoxious. I'm not sure I would do this again due to the noise.

These guys went out of their way to screw us over. Sold us a transmission. Car build got cancelled and they wouldn't take it back after 30 days (completely unopened and still palletized) even when we offered a restocking fee, so we were forced to try and sell it. Then they wouldn't pass the warranty to the next buyer despite it being completely unused and never being opened. Then when we had a buyer lined up they told us to have the buyer call a number of theirs to check fitment...and THEY TOLD THE BUYER NOT TO BUY OURS AND SOLD HIM A NEW ONE. They poached the customer. Never doing business with them again or recommending them to any of our contacts.

Silversport is second to none in customer service. Between receiving my full swap kit in less than 24 hours after purchase. They sent me my shims to put my CSC in spec and replaced my pilot bearing free of charge, also both received the next morning. Also honoring their holiday sale even though i actually purchased 2 months after receiving my quote. The team is very knowledgeable and friendly and I will be using silversport for all my future projects.

It’s been over a year now since I swapped my M21 in favor of a TKX .68 in my 69 RS Camaro and I have to get on here and post about what a awesome experience it was to deal with SST from start to finish.I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t think this was something I could do solo but their instructions were very straightforward and it was great to know they were there to back me if I had a issue (which I did with my driveshaft length).The only other issue I encountered was my bellHousing register was larger diameter due to it being a truck bellHousing. So the retaining bearing didn’t sit flush in the bellhousing. The fix was a bushing (as you can see in my pic). So aside from a couple small delays everything went super smooth for this rookie.It’s the best mod I’ve made to my car and makes it so much more fun to drive and now I can actually get out on the interstate.Don’t hesitate if you’ve been considering.

A friend recommended SST for their full conversion kits so I submitted a request for quote. The quote wasn’t cheap, so I called with a million questions. After walking me through the quote, it was obvious that SST’s price was well worth the quality of engineering and research they put into the products they sell. Their product is top notch and their customer and tech support is top notch. Most manufacturers are cutting corners (ie holley will sell you a $450 oil pan “kit” but won’t include a gasket), but the SST kit came with every nut and bolt I didn’t know I was going to need. When I called asking about additional spacers for my throw out bearing, their only question was what address I needed them shipped to. I can’t say enough good things about their staff or the efficiency of their operation. With how bad customer service seems to be these days, it’s refreshing to encounter a company like SST.Whatever you’re doing at Silver Sport to create that experience, please don’t ever change it.

Was looking for a good and reliable partner for my project.Rebuild 2 gen. Camaro from automatic to manual transmission.I found out about this place from a discussion forum where Silver Sport Transmissions has a lot of fans and satisfied customers.So I also contacted him.Being from overseas, I contacted SST, but with a bit of skepticism.Because other companies ignored my request. Probably under the impression that I am not a trustworthy customer.Silver Sport Transmissions completely different dealings.Vice President of Sales and Marketing Jeff Kauffman answered my first email right away.I told him what I was planning and what I wanted.Jeff not only immediately prepared an order for me with all the necessary parts, but also provided me with an absolutely first-class technical consultation where he explained to me what and how could be done even better.Our conversation took place in a completely relaxed, friendly manner and gave me as much time as I needed to study the order in detail.He helped me in everything, nothing was a problem and even though we closed the deal and I realized in a few days that I would need to replace some parts, it was not the slightest problem.I give full stars and for people who are looking for reliable partners for their project, I can only warmly recommend this company.George

Great company and great service. Put the 6 speed Magnum in my 64 Corvette Restomod and had a little weep at the rear seal since the car was in work for over 2 years after the trans was installed and before first start. Silver Sport sent out a new seal immediately with no questions asked. Great to deal with good folks that stand behind their products.

I want to thank Silver Sport Transmission for making my conversion to a Tremec TKX 5 speed on my 69 chevy C10. I love how the sure fit kit made the whole process so much easier. The transmission shifts so smoothly and I can't remove the smile off my face every time I drive my truck. It is just a pleasure to drive.

I Emailed and asked about back ordered parts after 3 months of waiting on parts they said they would ship as soon as they got them in back then, and now I was told to go to Auto Zone, I have bought 2 TKX transmissions in the last 18 months from SST and when I when I was just trying to find out about back ordered parts that I was told was still coming, that is when he said go to Auto zone, all that I needed was to be told its was not coming 3 months ago, I was unhappy with the answers, rudeness and lack of customer care, never again

When I restored my 1958 Corvette, I decided to replace the Muncie 4 speed transmission in the car. I considered several options. Eventually, I bought a Silver Sports Tremec transmission kit. I bought the TKO 500 5 speed with the wide ratio gears. I chose the 5 speed because it is small enough to fit into a C1 Corvette without cutting the transmission tunnel. Despite having a 4.11 rear axle, I bought the wide ratio transmission to provide good initial acceleration and because the engine torque band is wide enough to handle the large difference between the ratios. The 3.27 first gear is also great for stop and go traffic and for maneuvering around the garage at low speed. I also bought the CLA-STR11 SST Advanced friction STR clutch set with FWG-1472 flywheel. From the very beginning SST was great. They provided very detailed instructions and when I had questions, Gene Charsha was right there with the right answers. I cut the bottom of the ash tray, carefully aligned the bell housing with the centerline of the crank shaft and measured for the drive shaft. My body man, replaced the body mounts to bring the body back up to the proper alignment with the frame. When I installed the engine and transmission, it truly was a perfect fit. The shifter is in exactly the right place and the transmission fits nicely in the tunnel. After putting more than 500 miles on the car, the clutch and transmission feel great. The Tremec shifts just as easily as the Muncie did. SST provides excellent value for the money.

As a result of a YouTube Silver Sport Transmission, LLC posted regarding a product (bellhousing) I was interested in, I contacted Silver Sport Transmission, LLC, via their website.In no-time, I received an email response from SST Technical Support, Customer Service agent, Chris.In a very professional manner, SST answered my request for help and assistance. We communicated via email over the next couple days. SST provided a prompt, clear and professional estimate for the products I need to resolve my flywheel, bellhousing, and starter challenges for my Tremec TKO-500 transmission.From start to finish, it was a real pleasure to work with Customer Service agent, Chris and Katie, in the Shipping Department.It was a delight and satisfying to work with such a very professional business as Silver Sport Transmission, LLC. I’ll be back to SST if I have other challenges they could solve.A very satisfied customer, Ed B.
