well if it goes hopefully it will jsut be the bottom gears.
I found it easier to drive with 1st, 3rd, 5th then 2nd, 4th and reverse
Then agains it also sucks when you can get in any gears.(happened when I trahsed my dad's 3.8L had ot have it towed, funny I never towed my lil' 3.4L yet *knock on wood*)
So have any tranny plans? gonna try a T-56 swap, I really looked into it with me trashin T-5s, or are you oging to go the easier, affordable route of a TH700R4 or even a TH350?

You can get an '89 TTA for under 10k, add $500 worth of bolt-ons over stock and run 12's all day

You can get a 94 3.4L for roughly $2k-4k, and spend $4k modding it and run 12s. May not be the king of hte hill, but it is differnet.
Or you could spend $6k and get a nice used lt1.
Or even jsut swap in a turbo 3.8L(which someone is doing).
