Who did the rebuild? I'm located in Orlando and my third gear grinds pretty badly in my getrag.
I just don't feel like taking my trans out and shipping it all the way to texas for a rebuild.

Regards,

Peter

Im putting a six speed in my car in the next couple of weeks, and wondering if anyone has a good source to have the drive shaft lengthened. Any info on the appropriate length for it?
