Default Need some help rebuilding my T5

I have a 92 T5 that I purchased knowing it already had the inevitable 1-2 grind. I bought a rebuild kit thinking Id tackle this myself. I have sucessfully done C4's a few times but am not really comfortable tackling this now. Can someone who is GOOD with these help, or point me to someone local to Bradenton who is? This is for the Maverick in sig.The engine is a 325 hp 302. I plan not to power-shift it or run slicks,as this is the primary failing reasons.. I have a race car, and this is a street car. Id like a slightly better than stock trans. help!

a T-5 is pretty easy to do, just need a dial indicator and maybe a pair of measuring calipers. also need to get a rebuild guide

Well, Ive got gears everywhere now! I successfully got it tore down. I need a new second gear in addition to my rebuild kit. Time to clean parts and order the rest.
