I used Tick to rebuild mine, so far I have not had any problems. They have many different build options and am sure can offer something that would fit the bill for you. Turn around was very quick, I think they had it for 3-4 days. I live near Omaha and shipping was right at $100 each was as well by UPS ground.

We'd be glad to handle your rebuild. At the cam/head power levels the key to long transmission life is simply a good working clutch and hydraulic system. The gears and shafts are plenty strong...our level two rebuild is what we reccomend to most. Basically the parts that give trouble are shifting related, and a clutch that doesn't fully dissengage will not only cause difficulty shifting but it will also cause accelerated blocker ring and fork pad wear. Our rebuilds can be seen here: http://www.tick-performance.com/tick...ackages/fbody/ and our adjustable master that solves most dissengagement issues here: http://www.tick-performance.com/tick...aulics/#master
Of course if you break the transmission within a year, send it back to us and we'll fix it labor free.

I have a stock t-56. I put in a spec stage 3 with spec Steal flywheel. I did not do the install a local speed shop that is no longer in business did. I am now stuck in fourth gear. I also have a **** poor reverse synchro that pops out. I am willing to pay but want this to be bullet proof and done correctly the first time.

go with finish line tranmissions from the local guys i know they say they are a great trans for the money. A few guys even had the tick ones and blew out third from some hard launches but the finish line trans are still holding up. tick builds decent ones though

FWIW, I've never had a trans sent back for a broken 3rd gear and I surely can't figure out how anyone would break 3rd gear launching a car... In fact I've had less than 10 trans sent back period out of probably 500 or so within the last three years that we've been doing them mail order. And a couple of those comebacks were out of their one year warranty and we still warrantied them anyway... I Still haven't seen any broken billet keys on any of the transmissions we've warrantied or refreshed either. Most of our comebacks have been due to a broken hard part like the engagement teeth on the early second gears, broken teeth on the input and cluster in big power applications, broken output shafts in vettes, etc. Problems that could be associated with anyones rebuild...
