Are you planning on using a modern GM 4L60E, 4L65E, and 4L70E (1997 and earlier only) or GM 4L80E and 4L85E transmission with this kit? By adding a US Shift Quick 4 stand-alone transmission controller you will save $100 dollars off of the cost of your Speed Gems adapter kit. This kit will not work with “LS” based transmissions.

Customers are responsible for throttle position signal provisions. Check out US Shifts options for TPS Kits. Please give us a call if you're not seeing what you need!

Driveshaft for this Application:

After the Transmission install is complete, take the driveshaft to a reputable driveshaft builder. The front trunnion type U-joint will need to be replaced with a slip yoke that matches the Transmission that is being used.

NOTE: If the application is on a 1956 Packard with the electric shift column, there is a solution for using the original, stock push button shift assembly.

*Matching our adapter kits with your engine can be tricky. If you are unsure of which kit to purchase for your engine, please call customer service at (763) 767-4480. Speed Gems is not responsible for return shipping costs of mismatched kits.
