still havent looked at it.....had to go out and buy jack stands....any idea on how much it would cost to mildly build up a tranny....like a longer first gear ratio, double synchro 2nd, and stronger shift forks?

Depends on who you go to. I know SloPny is pretty cheap and reliable from what I hear but I'm not sure about modifications. I'm sure they could swing something with you though. www.shepracing.com is John Sheperd's site that has a whole list of modifications but he's a little more expensive.

You can buy stronger parts from www.teamrip.com and have Slopny install them for you. That's probably the cheapest route to take.
