Have you thought about DIY?

If you get stuck, I'm only about 1hr away down in Delaware and could give you a hand.

I have a friend looking for the same thing. It's a 700HP Turbo car that he said the gears were stuck and he pulled the shifter real hard and something broke. Now it's grinding.

He wants someone to go through it and make it good. He's a 50 something suit and tie guy who rarely abuses the car.

If you can't find someone local I'd look into Tick Performance.

For that kindof power a T56 Magnum is what you would really need for good solid reliability against burning up the input and cluster. If that isn't an option one of our Super T56 transmissions which are built very similar to trans in 85MikeTPI's build thread would be the next option I would recommend with the direct input oiling modification. If you have any questions please feel free to PM me or give me a call here at the shop.
