I believe Howard when he says he's not out to take advantage of us. Quite honestly, if I'm faced with a choice between a high price, and noparts at all, I'll pay the high price (within reason)

I never wanted to own an AWD 3S before the internal trans parts were available. CRS opened up to us, so I finally bought one. Now that I need the parts, CRS seems to be drying up. I'm not ready to get rid of my car over a couple of brass rings, so I'll pay any sane price that is asked of me.

This isn't a Tremec T56 with hundreds of thousands of units in circulation. There are barely 20,000 of these transaxles in existance. You have to expect prices to be a bit higher.

For the record, the F5M33 in the FWD cars, a trans that is shared over several other Mitsu models and has many more units in service than we do, has similar syncro pricing to what we've seen here. I paid just over $300 for a set of rings back when I built mine.

Let's just wait and see if we can even get the right parts before we start worrying about pricing.

That brings me to a question for Howard. What do we do if there's an error in the part numbers? Say they've been superceeded without our knowledge? I'd hate to see people drop $500 on syncro rings, only to find out the part numbers had been reassigned to something for say, an 04 Eclipse. Is it possible to get just one set of each to verify that these are indeed the right parts before we start doing mass orders?
