Default rebuild tranny

Not shifting smoothly into next gear (slight hesitation), better however since dot 5 fluid, but still there. Got stuck in 4th twice. I think it's time for a rebuild. I heard D&D and some other place. Any ideas on what should be replaced 425 rwhp. I don't know much about trannies, but I figured: syncros, cones ..........

any help appreciated.
THANX

I spoke to D&D also. For your HP you shouldn't worry to much about the output shaft. They told me that and I'm at 502 RWHP. I have upgraded my forks, carbon blocker rings and the gears. That should do it for you. Call them!! They are very helpful and will not try to sell you anything that you don't need!!

Mauler call D&D Performance and they will tell you what needs to be replaced. They will not try to sell you anything that you don't need. Trust me, I called them and they were GREAT on the phone, I was expecting to spend much more!
