Not being a smartass here but I would be inclined to look seriously into a 4-spd top-loader, like one from David Kee , if I had invested the time and $$ you have only to have the same problems re-occur time and time again.
I'm of the the opinion that T-5's, TKO's. TKO II's, are and can be dependable transmissions when set up with the right components for street use and "ocassional" mild hi-speed bashing. But the scenario you described may be pushing their limits--I don't know if I'm blowing smoke or not since I'm not near the mechanic you are--hell changing jets in a carb is a trial for me-lol . FWW
