I decided against getting a taller 5th. Went ahead and ordered the Stage 2 Exchange though. My Dodge Intrepid is going to real shit so I went ahead and bought a trans from TRE.
I called the local shop and they want 360$ for R&R on my trans.

That's with telling them I already pulled the battery/box and intake and all the stuff thats in the way out. All they have to do is remove axles and DS and drop it. Is that too much for R&R? Should I keep looking?
