Rebuilds around here are very expensive. Tranny work is specialty work. My friend had second gear rebuilt (new synchros) and a new clutch put in and the cost was a shade over $1500. IMO, you are better off grabbing a new tranny and bolting it in.

I got mine at Schuck's. You can basically pay what you want for them, and I have never heard of the cheaper ones being less accurate. Maybe more difficult to operate (counting beeps instead of reading a simple display), but not less accurate.

This is usually (90% of the time) a tune up issue. Check your wires, plugs, cap and rotor and fuel filter. It is almost certain that this problem is there.
Jon
It all depends on the car, my friend. However, I highly doubt you will get away with regular in an SN95 5.0. We are notorious for our poor cooling abilities and detonation problems.

With the proper engine combo, open headers can be an advantage. However, in stock form the car needs an exhaust to maintain a useful powerband. Open headers would destroy this.
Jon
Yeah, most popular mods are exhaust, pulleys and intake manifold. With those he could be more than a new GT. Stock he is putting down probably 190rwhp; the new GTs put down 225rwhp. If he wants 300rwhp, new heads and cam are in his future.
