No 5th Gear in South Carolina

Hey guys, made my trek down to South Carolina this weekend from Minnesota and going through the mountains I just about lost 5th. It still works, but it shakes from time to time in 5th and 5th only, so I am sure the nut is about to fall off. Normally I would do this myself, but all my tools are in MN to do this. I called the dealer around here (Charleston) and they want $350 bucks to put the updated 22 dollar nut on!

Anyway, any of you guys down here know somewhere I can have this done for less or any of you willing to help a guy out? I am leaving for Nashville on Thursday, and then Back to MN Saturday. Hoping I dont have to drive back to MN pulling a trailer at 55 mph....

Thanks Guys.
