Well a little update, I havent gotten the trans yet to swap but here in the past week or so(since I have been driving it every day for about four weeks now) it seems like it stays in 5th gear a lot better. I am going to do a fluid change to the amsoil fluid, im hoping that maybe it just needed driven after sitting for well over a year or two. Second gear still grinds but on at like 6500 rpm, so Im not to worried about that right now. I also tried to take out the speed sensor, do I just pull it straight out with the gear attached or is there a special way to do it? Speaking of the speed sensor, I unplugged it and there was so much corrosion on the pigtail and terminals on the sensor it wasnt even funny, so here in two weeks im going to get a new sensor and hopefully have a working speedometer.

thanks for all the help and input.
