Not long ago, it seemed the third-generation of Chevrolet’s legendary Camaro was the forgotten stepchild of the aftermarket. First and second-generation cars had always enjoyed broad aftermarket support, and the fourth-generation car was a tuner darling. But the F3, well, it seemed like a bygone gem of 1980s splendor. Now, thanks to companies like Silver Sport Transmissions, that’s beginning to change.
Perfect Fit: 1982-1992 Camaro
Stepping up in a big way to provide direct aftermarket support to third-gen Camaro owners, Silver Sport Transmissions has announced the release of a 1982-1992 F-Body Tremec TKX PerfectFit Kit. SST’s PerfectFit Kits, available on a wide variety of classic, specialty, and performance vehicles, are industry-leading transmission conversion kits that are designed to make drivetrain upgrades easy. By engineering the components needed for a swap and bundling them with a high-quality replacement transmission, highly detailed instructions, and lifetime technical support, Silver Sport is providing third-generation Camaro owners an excellent opportunity to seriously upgrade the performance of their ride.
Silver Sport Transmissions’ 1982-1992 F-Body Tremec TKX PerfectFit Kit
The 1982-1992 F-Body Tremec TKX PerfectFit Kit will work with either a factory 4-speed automatic or factory Borg Warner 4 or 5-speed manual transmissions. In addition to a brand new Tremec TKX 5-speed, the kit includes a slip yoke, an isolator mount, a torque arm bushing, a speedometer hookup, a pilot bearing, hardware, PerfectFit hydraulics, and a CAD-designed and box-welded crossmember. Buyers can choose either a modified Tremec shifter or an STX Shifter that’s designed to fit the car’s factory shifter position and retain its factory console. Best of all, buyers can add pedals, a bellhousing, a McLeod clutch, and a McLeod flywheel that Silver Sport has already spec’d to work with the package.
Tremec TKX 5-Speed
Specifically engineered for aftermarket applications to rear-wheel drive vehicles, the Tremec TKX 5-speed combines universal packaging and proven durability with the shifting performance car enthusiasts expect from one of the world’s leading transmission manufacturers. The TKX 5-speed features multi-cone synchronizers and hybrid synchronizer rings to offer smooth shifts all the way through the RPM range. An optimized gear layout works with oversized gear widths and caged needle bearings, in all gear positions, to reduce noise, vibrations, and harshness. Additionally, a strengthened, three-piece aluminum housing provides added structure and durability.
