If you want a reliable Trans.. I would call Chuck Jones.. You will know that you have a correctly built trans and he can usually rebuild your trans cheaper than you can buy the gears.

Call Chuck Jones, it sounds like a bad ring and pinion. |

Pop the bellhousing and check, the spider gears are generally the weakest point, 1st to break. |

If the pinion bearing needs replaced it requires 2 real special tools. Just sayin!
