heres my opinion.... listen to your own advice until you have a whole bunch of money to have a tranny shop repair it for you, all tranny works is pricey

Like i said before, your second gear syncro is most likely bad. Mine started out just making a SUPER short grind noise when shifting fast. It got progressively worse, and now it sometimes wont even go in. Just get the thing rebuilt.

If you can swing it, get the tremec. I have a pro 5.0 on mine and it's okay. I wish it was tad shorter but I haven't missed a gear, yet. I am just not a big fan of the T5. I have no clue what it would cost to rebuild one but if you are going to spend the $ do it right.
