Default Need y'alls help

My synchros are giving me fits so I'm giving my Mach to the transmission man soon. I need to know what else I can ask him to do. Like most of us, I'm no trans guru. He asked me on the phone what I'm planning on doing with the car, if it's my daily driver, etc. I simply told him that it's a daily driver, I take it to the track, I didn't plan on much more power than what I currently have, and that I wanted stronger internals so that I won't have the same problem again...I basically told him that I do not want the trans to have to come out again. So if you guys have some more specific suggestions I'd really appreciate it. Thx a bunch.

How much you reckon the synchro fix is going to run ya? Maybe worth looking into a T-56 instead.

not sure about the $ just yet. Prolly around $1200, I hope. This guy's really good though so I'm not going to make a stink if it comes out to be more. Strongly considered different trans, but I wanted to keep the car with it's original drivetrain.

+1 on that. But I'll still have matching #s down the road and this trans guy is the shiznit, he's well known for building a badass trans so I should be alright with my "BUILT" 3650.

No doubt a built 3650 will be good. Its hard to find a good trans guy to trust that won't rip you off.
