Default Anyone ever use D & D?

My Trans. went out the other day. It got stuck in Neutral of all things and would only go into 4th, the same gear its been getting stuck in. When I tried to move it it felt like something jammed b/c I could feel the drivetrain moving in the shifter. I want to get the Steel 3-4 Fork and Syncro kit from D & D but I need someone to install it too, b/c I don't have the time to buy a press and do it myself. Anyone ever use D & D before and/or know what they charge. I heard before that it was a Flat Rate of $250 labor. Is that true? Also I hear of Tons of T56 Trouble's have we tried to get D&D as a Sponsor. I'm sure we could keep them busy!

When I called they told me $250 in labor. From the convo it seemed like it was a flat rate.

I just orderd my parts from D&D this week. They should be here Tuesday.

Whoever I talked to on the phone over there didn't have the best peopel skills. He just wanted to take my order part by part and hangup. He didn't really answer any of the questions I had or give me any advice. They might as well of let me place my order over the phone. I say this because I had just gotten off the phone with McLeod and Spohn and they were both much friendlier than the D&D guy.

I am an auto guy that is considering swapping to a M6. Does anyone know roughly how much it would cost me to move over to a M6?
