Does anyone know where to get a transmission rebuild kit?

Many of you guys probably have had, or at least heard of the 5th gear synchro problem that FD's have. Well I have it. I am looking to rebuild the tranny myself but I can't find a place to buy the parts needed to rebuild it. If anyone has info, it would be greatly apprieciated!

do you want to rebuild it or replace the 5th gear synchro? replacing that synchro is MUCH easier than rebuilding. the 5th gear is RIGHT there and replacing the synchro should cost you no more than $30 from a mazda dealership.

if youre transmission is in good shape, i would replace the synchro and save the rest for some other mod. again. . . that synchro is to easily replaced to go head deep into a rebuild over.
