PPG & KEISLER partnership announced - 19 February, 2010
We at PPG are proud to announce that Keisler Engineering is now the USA stocking distributor and official assembler of the new HEAVY DUTY Road and Track 6speed gearset. Developed by both PPG and Keisler, the set is a bulletproof replacement for the standard Borg Warner and Tremec T56 transmissions found in Challengers, Corvettes, Camaros, Vipers and Mustangs.
There have been two T56 upgrade options developed for specific applications:
- T56 1st-6th HEAVY DUTY helical dog set, which is suited for circuit and road racing
- T56 1st-4th HEAVY DUTY helical dog set that utilizes the standard 5th and 6th gears, suited for drag racing
We have spent the last three years domestically testing and developing these T56 gearsets under high HP race and daily driving conditions. With excellent results!
Because of the high volume of varied T56 transmissions we have formed a strong partnership with Keisler who are the resident experts on all things T56! They have the technology and personnel to handle any enquiry regarding the PPG Keisler Road & Track 6speed, and have the facilities to stock and assemble transmissions.
For enquiries on this exciting product please contact either Keisler or PPG, and upgrade to a transmission that will out-perform your expectations.
