Well, I've been researching the suggestions I've received and I'm liking the idea of the borg warner 5spd. The tremec tko 500 would be a better transmission, but at $4,150 or so for the kit I'd need, I think finding an old camaro or even s-10 in a junkyard will be the preferable option. The BW transmission is reported to have a problem with over shifting since it doesn't have a positive stop for the shifter, but I don't slam shift so that really shouldn't be much of a problem.
