I'm going auto for a few reasons
1 I keep breaking 3650s
2 its going to actually be cheaper, as I'm getting a deal on the trans itself
3 the car will laubch even harder with a brake
4 it'll be damn consistent
5 it'll still be plenty fun to drive
6 and how many daily driven newedges do u see with a hurst quarter stick in it? Lol

Just get a promotion built t3650 like ox was running. Good for 750+tq and hard launches and it is $1650...cheaper than a t56 and will bolt right in without question. Just my opinion though cus i love manuals. But you are right about the auto's being consistent. Good luck with the swap.

3rd starting to act up in my car as well. It gives a little grind every once in a while when i shift fast, so I'm assuming its the synchro's. Anyone know were you can order replacement, or aftermarket synchro's.
