Thanks for the info guy.. this is defiantly something that's not going to be tackled right before the holidays. I have to think about this and the viability or long term future of this vehicle.

I think if I'm to keep this vehicle now, it's to have the original 5sp rebuild as I miss it so damn much. Now that I understand there's a "strengthening" mod for the 5th gear counter-shaft.

Or mate the 5sp to the NP231??
