yeah man i'd chalk that up as a goodbye. ra gearsets aren't that much stronger, but they may work for you. best bet for the all together cost is look for someone selling a better tranny already together. like a kazz, ppg, or even an ra. that way you can cut the prices down. if you just want an ra gearset there is a shop in orlando that has a few sets.

3000 for it but i dont think you'll break it, plus we can pick it up. have you back up quick. for the price of ra's and install you're gonna be at that anyway. i'll also lend my hands to help you get back and going.

edit; plus they have ra's
