5-speed. get a gforce T-5. People are having good luck with Astro trannies.

If you have the money then do a 6 speed conversion. They are pretty bullet proof. If you want to stick with a 5 speed then go with a TKO.

+1

or buy charles tremec if he still has it. That thing is built down into the 8 second zone.

Unfortunatly a grand isn't gonna get you much. If that's all you have then your best bet is to get a World Class T5 or a used 3550.
