It is actually not that bad to rebuild yourself. If it won't stay in second gear, the 1-2-R slider may have all the clutch teeth torn up. Taking off snap rings is easy if you have snap-ring pliers! Some of the gears on the main shaft may need to be pressed off, but any automotive machine shop could do that fast and easy. If you get the T-5 manual (and I have also heard that the Hanlon rebuild video really helps), you'll find it easier than you think. Just get the case open to see what you might need to replace and stay organized with all the small parts. Mine has shifted fantastic since I rebuilt it!
