Default Getting T-56 tweaked need help

Ok well let me start with what parts I have got or about to order for the T-56 and then let me know if im missing anything. Also can any tranny mechanics give me a guesstimate on labor cost??

Parts: Spec Stage 2 clutch, pressure plate, flywheel package, from D&D Perf. (new syncros, bearings, and 3-4 steel shift fork), 01 slave, and Redline fluid. Of course gonna need gaskets but gonna let tranny shop provide those.

Also gonna have them change the fluid in the rearend at the same time. Is there anything Im forgeting? Also if someone can give me an idea on labor. TIA. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

You may not need it, but it wouldn't hurt to have a new throwout bearing handy. Sometimes SPEC throws one in. Also might want to get the limited slip additive for the rear end.

For a clutch R&R, I'd expect to pay 2 hours labor assuming nothing unusual pops up. I'd expect to pay at least $250 to R&R the tranny itself. It's a 3-4 hour job. Some places include a rebuild kit (on top of the D&D parts) on top of the labor charge. Last time I did it that kit was $200-250.
