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

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

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 *** thread). I think the price was around 1200 or so.
