Jeb, I carried my trans to a shop in Charlestown Cottman Trans, the unit was pretty blown out and he rebuilt it awesome for $575. There is a good shop in Framingham Bonded Transmission, I did not go there since I did the work in Somerville, but they are recomended by my Mechanic friend.
If the trans is off replacing the clutch, good time to check it out, just a synchro replace is cheaper, I had a blown out mainshaft etc..
