Time for a transmission rebuild...Do I have everything?

[SAUDI01.5]

The 1st and 2nd syncros have been bad for a while now and the time is coming to get my transmission rebuilt. Just wanted to double check with you guys if I've got everything.

Scotty's transmission or rebuild kit...Haven't decided.
Clutch Masters FX400 6-puck (Purchased)
Clutch Masters FX400 SS FW (Purchased)
Rear main seal (Purchased)
JHM "quattro" (Purchased)
Metal clutch slave cylinder (Purchased)
Flywheel bolts (Purchased)


Transmission mounts have been replaced.

Suggestions welcome.

Whats "JHM 'quattro'"?

4:1 diff??

If you are doing the rebuild yourself, the JHM Rebuild DVD is WELL worth the $20

[getslideways]

also, dont forget fluid!!!

JHM trio + upgraded connecting rod.

Haven't decided on the 4:1.

Fluid was understood.

new flywheel bolts
The JHM video is fantastic for diy and is a must have.
the video outlines all the special tools you will need.

Flywheel bolts...Check.

I don't think my skills go that far...My mechanic is the one who's going to be doing the heavy lifting.

I got my rear main seal from VAST. Fast shipping and it even came with the plastic tool even though I didn't use it.

How much is labor for rr and rebuild of tranny + parts?
If you can do the tranny swap yourself, get a known good one from scotty. Might even save a few $.

$1300 for labor.

Having a Scotty trans + less down time but I'd be paying a $800-$900 premium, not mentioning core and shipping charges.

There is alot more to that premium than just beer for the guys, quite often when people open up their transmissions they find they need additional parts, which quickly eats up any savings (a 2nd gear is over $500.00).

There is currently a worldwide back order on the 1-2 collar repair parts. So the trans kit is not available at the moment. I don't know if I will be able to maintain current pricing when stock is replenished. I had a pretty sweet supply of genuine parts that I fear has run dry.

Any estimate on when the parts/kit will be available to order?
Thanks
