You may want to upgrade the bellhousing as well but it’s probably not absolutely necessary. Just a guess but I imagine you’ll be on street tires 99% of the time so I doubt you’d hurt anything.

The magnum 6 speed is also an option but is more expensive. I have TKX and Magnum quotes from 3 vendors for complete kits ranging from $5400-$8000. If you reuse your original pedals and use manual linkage (not using hydraulic set-ups they push) it can be done for about $5000 all in.

Once I finish a few other updates a TKX or Magnum is next on my list for my TA.

Edit: I will say I don’t like the crossmember from American Powertrain. I don’t see how a bolt together unit could be anywhere near as strong as a welded piece. But that’s just me
