The getrag is now a gutbag. HELP!

Hey guys. Over the last few hundred miles the trany in the crew has started making noises. I say last few hundred, as I don't remember the problem when I first got it, but then again I might just have not payed attention to it ( or mabee the dealership where I got it had someway of disguising the sound untill I got it).

The problem is in low rpm in 2 and 4 the tranny moans and down shifting into 3 creates real issues. When I try to go into gear, it does not want to go in, so I back off into nutral, and after mabee 2 seconds a heap of noise akin to running a bucket off bolts through a blender or like a really bad gear mesh emits from the trans. Is this the dreaded failure of the getrag noise?

So my question is how much is the Getrg rebuild kit and where to get it?

Also a consideration is the NV5600. What is involved to make it fit, how much, and where to get it?

Robert

Edit. What is the problem with the trans?
