Hey all, just wanted to let you know that I have gotten my car back and the transmission is AWESOME!

I'll be releasing all the details of the who and how much and contact info etc in a few days. First there are a few things I need to iron out, such as...

The reverse lights don't work.
The clutch may be slipping (not sure, I am a newbie)
a few other things.

I highly recommend an auto to manual swap for anyone who is interested. I am EXTREMELY pleased with the outcome, even with the few problems I have encountered.

Cheers!
