6-speed upgrades?
Before someone flames or acts sarcastic, YES, I DID USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!!! YES, I GOOGLED, YAHOO'ED AND USED OTHER SEARCH ENGINES.
Unfortunately I still haven't found an answer to my question, so here goes...
This past Saturday I broke my trans at the strip. It's an infamous 2003 6-speed. I'm the OG owner and never had any 3rd or 5th gear grinds, so I never bothered to take it to get replaced or looked at. I figured the curse had skipped me. Obviously I was wrong. I already contacted the dealership to see if it could be covered under the same recall they used for the grinding trannys.
Incase they don't or can't cover my 6-speed under warranty or recall...
WHAT OPTIONS DO I HAVE FOR UPGRADING MY TRANSMISSION???
I am wondering if anyone has upgraded their trans. to say, a Vette 6-speed or a Chevy 5-speed? I know there are a couple of Autos. running Chevy 350's and 400's, so I figured maybe the manuals can run Chevy manuals?
If not, what other upgrade options are there, tested/proven/being developed? Only other thing that comes to mind is doing a rebuild with some cryo'ed parts... but there has to be other options, right?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

yeah, still no cigar! 
Anyone else out there venturing out and trying something different? Figured if I have to spend money on the trans, might as well make it worth it, no?
