I might rebuild it, for the 3rd fawking time.

Other than that it just recently got an interior semi redo, all I need is seats, a legit cage, and some basic audio to finish...yeah right its never finished.

Yeah Hills Garage found me one. I may not be the best person to ask as to feeling. My old tranny was SHOT. It sounded like I had a super charger. The gear whine was incredible. And my 3rd was completely gone.

the tranny is SOOOOO quiet. Shifting is magical. and the clutch and flywheel combo are great. I am so happy. After all that was said and done I think I spent $1850 for everything. The tranny was used.

1) ERS rear spring conversion.
2) Get rid of 50lbs of unsprung weight. Anybody want a set of heavy 19"s?
3) Learn how to drive
4) Maybe a LSD (money is tight, 3 classes next spring is going to hurt)

3.72 gears or if someone wants to swap for my automatic 3.33 gears.
LSD maybe money permitting.

^If you want to save money you can always go with a MT 3.5 (which can be had for almost nothing) and run a shorter tire.....my effective FD is just a shade under that with the factory 3.5 and 285/30 tires. Just a thought.

^ our cars fit 19x11's just fine, as long as its the correct offset. Shops generally charge around $50-80 per side or so.
