Here's what we can offer:

Prepay for for the parts.
We rebuild one of our core transmissions. All gears, sliders, synchros, bearings, seals/gaskets are replaced.
You bring in the car and drive away a few hours later.

When I get to the shop, ill PM you more details.

6spd swap is at least twice the cost, but obviously, you get a much better finished product.

No offense but if he doesn't want to drive to novato, he probably doesn't want to go to sacramento???

yeah but being able to drive up and have my car only out for one day instead of a week may be worth it..
