Default Re: Getrag 440/446 parts.

CRS has been taking parts out of their rebuild stock. They are not a parts supplier but have been very nice to us in selling us some of their stock. Unfortunately their hands are tied in this matter. I know some engineering buddies back in MI who may be able to help me. Another buddy of mine has a relitive who works at Getrag. I'll see what I can turn up there. If you know any one in Getrag or Mitsubishi who may be able to help then go ahead and see what you can figure out. May be if they see several of us trying from many different parts of the country they will start to figure it out.

As for the rebuilds out there, you just have to e-mail or call in your order and hope they have it. If CRS or Kormex don't have the parts then you'll just haveto wait for them to turn up some where. Sucks I know but lets not start blaming CRS or Kormex. They are very valueable assets to us.

As for starting a company that can get us Getrag parts any time, that wouldb e great. But I doubt you would be able to make it worth your time financially speaking. I'd hate for a fellow member's bussiness to go under because it was TOO specialized. If you are going to open a speed shop you have to focus on more than one car and you have to know those cars like the back of your hand.

If any one can contact Getrag and get some info then go ahead and do it. Don't go off on them, just figure out what would have to happen to get parts out of them. We could use some contacts on the Mitsubishi side also. I don't want both sides to end up saying it's the others responceability.
