i spoke with a mechanic buddy of mine who specializes in european cars (mostly alfa romeos), and i mentioned the lack of parts for our trannies. he said a good friend of his constantly imports parts from germany that are hard to find here in the states for his business.

i told him we needed hard parts for getrag 440/446, he wrote it down and said he'll see if he can't find something. we'll see if it pans out at all, and i'll post back. he's very reliable, so i'll hear back one way or the other.
