T-56 Rebuild

I am looking to rebuild my T-56 in my Firebird. My 5th/6th and Reverse all stopped working one day, sounded like something popped...needless to say there is more to be done in there than to just rebuild the transmission. I know I am probably going to be needing a new 5th/6th gear and maybe reverse depending on the damage that is going on in there, plus a rebuild kit...but I was wondering if anyone had a place to recommend to get parts from. When I looked into it a few years ago sixspeedsinc.com was like the place to get parts from...is there a place like that anyone recommends now?

Thanks

Chris

Wrong forum.... I'll move the post to "Drivetrain" for you.

Thanks guys. I was looking at tickperformance, I had already emailed them. And thanks for moving the thread to where it needed to be...I don't post on here very often and don't know where everything is.

out of everyone over on ls1tech, tick seems to be most popular with best results. but now that i see the gear box's labor prices idk what to do. are you rebuilding it yourself or sending it out to have it redone?
