Thanks to Mikey from Rapid Motorsports! Recently, my transmission went bad in my Z28 so I decided to swap it out for a manual. I was originally going to do the work myself, but after seeing how much time it would take and for the fact that myself or anyone I know doesn't have a heated garage, I decided to take it to Mikey.
I had him swap transmissions as well as put a true dual exhaust system on. Everything was done perfect! There wasn't any torn up carpet or fluid spills anywhere on the inside, where as most mechanics wouldn't take the time to keep everything clean and how it should be. He even kept the car in the garage while we had those two snowstorms as well! Mike did a great job of taking care of the car! If anyone is looking for someone to take their car to in PA, Mike is your guy.
As for the swap, I haven't ever had this much fun driving my car. It is my first vehicle to be a manual and it is a blast. Pretty easy to learn on and get the hang of quick. The true dual system sounds amazing! It's the system from TSP with Sweet Thunders that are dumped before the axle. Although it has quite a bit amount of drone, it is definately worth the switch from a traditional Y-pipe set-up. It has a very unique sound to it that is unlike any cat-back I have heard. I guess I could describe it as a clean and smooth sound. Oh, and it is loouuuuuuuuuuuuuuud!
Thanks again to Mikey and for anyone who is thinking of taking their cars to him, DO IT! You won't be disappointed.

How much did the transmission parts cost, what was the make and model of the transmission, where did you purchase them, and how much did the labor cost just for the transmission swap? Thank you in advance for the info.
