Need help to find a shop.

Hey guys I recently bought a stage 1 shepard transmission and exedy clutch, and I was wondering if I can get some ideas for a shop to have the install done? I live in Long Island New York so I know only of tuning works and espec. Can anyone maybe give me some feedback on either different shops or the two I said?
Thanks

Or, do you know of any friends with tools and are familiar with evos? replacing a transmission and clutch isn't too difficult, just time consuming. I did this in a cramped, one car garage, on jackstands. ANY Evo performance shop should be able to tackle this without issues, or they shouldn't be working on evos, period.

I have honestly thought a lot about doing it myself but like u said its time consuming so I'd rather have a shop do it.
