I'll look up the swap some more in my spare time this week and next.

Right now I'm focusing on the camber kits to straighten out my alignment, from what I can see only one company makes a half decent set and they're not cheap so that and the new coilovers from GroundControl are going to come courtesy of my tax return. If there's anything left after everything is aligned and balanced (properly) I'll spring for the HF transmission.

I ran it past another of my buddies in the EFSquad here in atlanta and he said that HF trannys are a little tricky to get your hands on and recommended only doing the fifth gear swap for now since that's where a lot of my issues are at present. I would ultimately like to be able to cruise at 60/65mph at around 2500RPM which is my 50/55mph range at the moment.

While I'm in there doing the clutch I'll swap that and I'm also going to rebuild the syncros because 3rd gear has been giving me some issues if I'm not real gental and careful to match revvs.
