PM me with your cell #. I can see if I can go down there with the sleeve and the shift fork after school (2:40) and before (4), so I can get to Island dragway as soon as it opens. Or just call me at (908)627-2885. If I dont hear from you, we will have to meet another day, and let Hans look at the parts.

Drivetrain Specialists may have them. Although I ordered 3rd&4th for my 94 vr4 which is of course a 6 speed they sent me 5spd parts. I since sent them back. Try giving them a call at 1800-216-1632.

I don't think I burnt him out. I think their contract with Mitsu is over and they simply have no reason to order this stuff any more.

I live literally 15 minutes from autocraft if anyone needs someone to go there

If the trip is made... and it turns out they can get their hands on some 3rd/4th gear syncros afterall I will take a couple.

Alright here's a question:

if my endcase is sitting on my workbench, with my input and intermediate shafts w/ shift forks installed in the endcase, how hard should it be to engage/disengage all gears? I ask because 1/2 is much easier to disengage than the others. There's a thread about this getting no responses .. thought I would pose the question here.

I'll keep you guys posted.

I'd like to thank you for all your hard work.

Here is a link to a site that sells rebuild kits for our trannys. I ordered a bearing kit up here in Canada from one of there suppliers when I did my 5 speed a couple of years ago. I talked to the co. in the USA about syncros and they said they have kits with them in.

Interesting. I'm sure Jeff will give them a call. Looks like from their site they are a distributer/reseller and not a manufacturer, so I suspect like all the other shops they were probably getting parts from CRS as well.

Push come to shove... if we eventually loose all hope of getting basic parts like new syncros... if someone can CMM scan a set I can get them made locally. $$$ though.
