Default Looking for a shop in NJ! HELP!!

I've got a few little kinks to work out on my 2000 T/A. I'm not sure what the hell is wrong to be honest. The rpms stick when the clutch is to the floor, its slips here and there, I get wicked chatter in reverse, especially turning. The driveshaft is smacking my muffler. I just need to get someone who knows fbodys to drive, examine, whatever they need to do to figure out what is wrong and what needs to be fixed. And naturally, the cheaper the better.

I have a Textralia clutch in, about a year on it. New hydraulics and what not.
Recently upgraded to a 2002 clutch master. New u-joint on the ds. All fluids changed out. Tuned. Poly motor and tranny mounts. I CANNOT keep dumping money in to this car for something that should have been fixed properly the first time. Ya know? If anyone at all can help in ANY way please let me know. I live in Toms River, NJ for about another 2 weeks. So just drop me a PM or reply to this thread.

Thanks in advance.

Already planned on it. I heard they were backed up for a month though. Along with the move, and how far they are from me. I figured I'd atleast look for an alternative. But I'm calling them monday anyway. Thanks. Anyone else? Incase theyre booked? Maybe closer?

Yeah it may be the IAC or the clutch is sticking. Because the idle drops one I come to a stop. Although it does stick even while im coasting out of gear.

A month is an understatement at this point Day jobs I can definitely get in, just no projects. So NOIR I can definitely take a look at it for you, diagnose it and schedule you to come in probably about a week maybe even earlier the end of this week.

Well im gonna run to my local guy first, because you're quite a hike from me. But I'll be in touch right away if he cant pinpoint the problem. Thanks for the response. If you were closer, I'd be there regardless, but youre almost 2 hours away.
