Donato Engineering (T-56) I personally know the owner of this company and he does extremely fine work. his main service is the Viper output shaft conversion, he also offers a cryo internal service as well as some different gear ratio options. Fork pads can be upgraded to a much harder material. Many other options avaliable
I strongly recommend John and hope you guys appreciate the review
I will be having my (T-56) gone threw by him (I will be doing the work) he will be over my shoulder.

since I am just DD the car we are going to do the steel shift forks, examine the syncros and all pieces and upgrade the pad of the forks. and just make sure everything is in good working order. also upgrade the fluid to the new viper fluid to get ride of the gear set noise that sounds like a bad throwout bearing! John said the new fluid shuts it up.
Since you did say dailey driver, I would steer from the Viper fluid. If its the Castrol Syntorq LT that I know of, It will be too thick for winter driving( generally not a Viper owners concern). You will have much harder morning shifts that you experienced with the correct ATF fill.Save the $$ and get a plain ol Dex III ATF, like your manual states.

I feel you... I've got a blown T56, and a BEAT rearend. Bolt ons are great, but don't compare to what I'd like to have done to the car.
All in due time.
