Wappingers,

Another winter is here, which means its time to tear down my car for another seasonal build. I was having an issue which required me to drop my transmission, and when draining the fluid it was littered with brass... Which means to me that my 10 year old transmission at least needs to be looked at. As you all know transmission parts are getting harder and harder to find. Currently my car sits at 563wph/422ftlbs on pump gas. Someday I would like to go flex on e85, which is now available by me. So the big question is where do I go from here? My transmission is a TRE "stage 2.5" (not offered anymore) with an EVO3 1st year and 4 spider. I am thinking my options are as follows, but please chime in with any helpful advice if possible. and NO, I WILL NOT GO AUTO!!! (glad to clear that one up...)
1. Send my trans back to TRE to have it inspected and freshened up, run it until it pops.
2. Send trans back to TRE to have it inspected and add magnus 1/2 fork, billet bearing housing and 300m output shaft as upgrades
3. Go dogbox...
The car is mildly used on the street and drag strip. I say mildly because I rarely drive the car and only take it out to have fun with, not to just cruise around town.
