If you go with R&D Mark first rips everything apart (he prefers you send everything unmolested and as a complete assembly), he inspects every piece and then consults with his customers directly to determine what they need and don't need. As an example the last one I sent to him had a shift fork that was bad. Well, it still worked but during his inspection he found the crack. He sent it to me so I could see the damage myself and replaced the fork with a new one. Mark is the only one who gets my trans. I only recommend R&D for trans work.
I bought a complete low mileage transmission and shipped it for the work. Once you get it back and install, sell your old one to someone for a core. In my case I was able to buy a unit that had a perfect drum and forks. You want to buy billet shift shafts regardless and toss the OEMs.
You might also consider an 08+ unit with the bigger shaft.
