I have a feeling this is goin to cost me alot of money
Call to verify. Stale listings are common. I rebuilt my 5 speed with new carbon fiber lined rings, for gears 1-4, which I had to call around to get. They ran $125 each but you do what you have to do... I have a couple of brand new brass rings sitting around, but I won't use them in MY tbird unless I have no other choice.
Mine just grinds in 1st which is wierd but I wont down shift my car any more than I have to. I would like to know where you found the carbon fiber rings so I can put them in mineCall to verify.

Hock, what parts did $800 get you?
Last time I did mine was 2004 and I paid about $400 for a new (NOS) 3-4 slider ring and hub, NOS fiber blockers for 1-4, then brass for 5 and R. Reused all the nuts and seals.
Wow. Sounds like it had a hard life of clutchless speed shifts Was there anything that was reusable?1st-3rd gears
1st-2nd slider assembly
3rd-4th slider ring
1st-Reverse synchronizers
Input and output shaft bearings
Input and output shaft seals
Counter shaft and output shaft nuts
I'm sure there may a few small items I have forgotten but thats the gist of it.
