Well, since time is always of the essence, I am going to use Pottermans Tranny 
guy(He custom built Mikes Tranny for his rocket Scirocco!). For $400 I will not 
only get my tranny completely rebuilt, (new bearings, synchros, the usual) but I 
will also get my choice of gears. (1-3 will be from a close ratio box for 
autoxing and 4-5 gears will be what I have in it now for top end speed/fuel 
economy.) Hes not local for me but a heck of a lot closer than NC. I'll have to 
drive up the coast an hour or so but it will be worth it. Much cheaper for me.
Thanks for the offer Geoff, if I were on the other coast, id take you up on it! 
Thanks everybody for the help.
