Name a price, for the swap set-up, if its cheap enough ill drive up there and get it from you

My 6SPD has given me no issues. Great feel to it as the ratio feels perfect with 6th being tall enough to rev fairly low at 60MPH and at the same time be able to shift down to 3rd and be in the middle of your powerband. Also the close ratio makes the car feel a lot faster. 400WHP and a 6SPD feels perfect to me.

With all that said, I have a Shepherd Ultimate Ratio trans on its way to me. I hope I don't regret the swap, but frequent trips to the drag strips with 500+WHP in the future caused me to switch just to be safe.

I'm running about the same power with a 6spd. I don't rip on the car, but kinda getting worried on how long the trans will last. How hard is a 5spd swap?? and what is that shep trans worth??
