Default Rebuilding T56 and need suggestions

Well I have a 99 Trans Am M6. I was driving, shifted into third and thats where it stayed lol. It had been griding and popping out of gear so it wasn't a big shock. I'm going go have it rebuilt and I already have an ls7 clutch, ls2 flywheel, pro 5.0 shifter and roller pilot bearing ready to be installed with the rebuild. Is there anything else anyone reccomends replacing while I'm at it? Slave cylinder? Upgradeded syncros? I'd rather get everything done at once so any suggestions would be greatly apprciated. Thanks!

I would install a new slave while its out of the car. You may also want to install a remote bleeder. A good rebuild would probably include bronze fork pads for atleast the 1-4 forks, a steel 3/4 shift fork, carbon blockers, and billet keys for the 3/4 syncro. We sell all the parts you would need and also offer different levels of rebuilds on our site: www.tickshift.com

X2 on the Remote Bleeder..takes me like a minute to completely bleed the Hydraulics in my Car..

That and Tick are some good guys, I built my T56 with their Stage II Kit..it's holding up really nice.
