I had an old boy go through my trans. He says it looks fine, but he thinks I need a new, or rebuilt shift box. Don't know where to get one? Has anyone ever rebuilt one, or bought a new one? Thankyou.

I bet a lot of guys who have done the 700 or T-5 conversions have them just laying around. Just my two cents.
