Default Monster level 3 is here!

$750.00 for a monster level 3-this BETTER hold the 3500lb. mid 12's 4000 launch. What is the install like for this item in a fairly well-tooled garage off of a 3-ton jack and jackstands? To date I have done a 9" Moser, dual valve springs, long tubes, yella terra 1.8 rockers, and all the free and easy mods solo, so I think Im up for this, am I right, or am I kidding Myself thinking I can pull this off? My real question concerns my lack of a 6th gear, and a healthy grind into 5th- is this a 5/6 synchro? or is it wanting brass inserts on the fork? any ideas? any input would be GREATLY, GREATLY appreciated.

If it is anything like doing an auto check out my post on pulling the LS out the top, I put my jacks and my floor jack up on some of those (2ea.) flat bricks and then jacked the car up and still had to remove one wheel to get the trans out from under the car. It's not a hard job but getting the car up high enough to get the trans from under the car, and a trans jack or trans jack floor jack adapter would be a big help. Good luck
