Looking for a good transmission shop around ATL

I have a '97 Nissan pickup that needs new synchros. Can anyone recommend a good shop (or know someone with experience) for rebuilding old Nissan manual transmissions? I can remove and deliver the unit. Preferably around the ATL area

1997 FS5W71C 4x4 rebuild options/price?

Hey I have a 1997 4x4 with a pretty bad grind in 2nd gear, and I can tell 1st and 3rd are slowly on their way out too. It's my daily, and I manage to get around without grinding by double clutching, but I'd like to get it addressed soon. I just swapped out the trans oil, and besides some crud on the magnet, there was no glitter or metal chunks in the old oil, which I'm pretty sure hasn't been changed since the truck was new. It only has 128k miles. So I think it should just need new synchros.

Does anyone have a general price range for a trans rebuild, if I remove and deliver it myself? I'm in the ATL area if that helps, or if anyone could recommend a local shop. I occasionally see transmissions from part-out trucks on marketplace for around 300-500 bucks, but I don't know if I want to take that gamble. Or maybe I could pick up a used one and attempt to rebuild it myself? I've never torn into a transmission before, so it would be a big job for me. If anyone has some advice/guidance, I appreciate it!

For anyone out there like me who doesn't like the look of aftermarket head units, a stock Camry radio fits and works great. My '97 was missing it's radio, so I pulled this out of a junkyard 2001 Camry for 20 bucks with the harness. It wasn't any harder than installing a pioneer/kenwood etc, just wire the harness and plug it in. I think it turned out pretty well for an "oem" look
