A buddy of mine is looking for a new OEM or rebuilt tranny for a 93. Anyone know of any place that he could find one? He doesn't want a used one. He said he talked to one place who searched a database for this part in the US and came up with nothing. They said they could ship one from japan for him but were looking at a month and a half to get it in. His car's been in the shop for a few months already dealing with a jackass aftermarket warrenty company that's screwing him around. Anyway, any help in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

....or new tranny

no longer available new for the US last time i inquired

the cost is substantial as well..not worth it imho

new also doesnt always equate to better..

consider the cost relation to what you can get from a rebuilt assembled to your specs..

versus the cost of a jspec oem tranny..

yeah mazda said ~3k for a new one and his warranty company isn't gonna pay that much for one when they can get a used one for cheap. So he's looking elsewhere

*cringe* the evil forum https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



lol I think he's got a post going somewhere on that board inquiring about it. I'm just looking for other sources to lend a helping hand if I can.

ask vosko about his vosko spec tranny

RotorBalls 03-27-2003 03:22 PM

vosko spec lol, that sounds interesting https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

FikseRxSeven 03-27-2003 03:42 PM

just curious........ can anyone tell me what you can upgrade in your transmission to make it better?

jackdhammer 03-27-2003 08:39 PM

If you are really serious just get a hold of JUDGE ITO he's the one rebuilding it for Vosko "ITO-SPEC". It's got like ****** hardened everything man. Sounded killer. If I'm not mistaken it was talked about in the GURU DOGMISSION thread in Perfomance mods, but I didn't feel like checking(long ass thread). I think the price was around 1200 or so.

sounds like money

vosko 03-27-2003 10:33 PM

as of right now my ito spec is built by ito with basically all new components it has not broken yet. if you get a NEW mazda tranny it will be nice and last a long time..... we are still working on the vosko spec version II with upgraded everything......

its not significant considering the end result...

its currently in my scope of work for the project fd...includin diff components

RotorBalls 03-27-2003 11:24 PM

Damn that sounds like an awesome tranny for a steal. His tranny is really shot though and not rebuildable so either way he's gonna need a complete tranny. He found a place that'll ship one new from japan for 2175 I believe, but it's supposed to take a month and a half to ship and he's been waiting way too long already.

RotorBalls 03-27-2003 11:37 PM

oh yeah I think the only stipulation with the tranny he buys it might have to be from a company or at least somewhat of a reputable business cuz he's not actually fronting the bill. His warranty company is but they did say they'd buy one for him if it was cheaper than the 3000+ mazda wanted to charge him, so maybe it isn't too much of a concern

FikseRxSeven 03-28-2003 12:52 AM

oh the guy that is selling the transmission's e mail is fasterandfaster@cox.net tell him that martin sent you
