Update:
Gearbox is going in the car today. They are only replacing the box -- no flywheel, no clutch.
Honestly, I am okay with this. I never had issues with clutch engagement/disengagement or with the flywheel. The problem was isolated to 1-2 shifts above 5000 rpm. Ive done plenty of redline shifts (on a racetrack -- I'm not crazy) from 2-3, 3-4, and 4-5, and it never had an issue. I think the problem is isolated to that synchro -- defect? Who knows. I'll be sure to watch out for any future problems.
In any event, my plan is to break the transmission in for 1,200 miles, and then do a fluid swap/drain for some redline.
