Whats a bushwacker?

Can someone tell me what the Bushwacker Stage 1 Evolution Trans. Upgrade is all about. my 3rd gear syncro is getting to anoy me on how it grinds every now and then and ive been thinking about the bushwacker. but i dont know what im going to do next. i think its pointless to do more mods until i get my trans fixed and up to par. also is the bushwackers gears and stronger then the oem. can they take more abuse? Also how much do you think it would to be get it installed? tks (couldnt find it in the search)

I purchased the bushwacker on my car. I don't have it with me though. It's still at their shop. Though, I can prolly tell you by the end of this week how much difference there is with it.

I wouldn't be surprised if it is just a rebadged Shep Racing Transmission.
