check racing beat and mazdatrix, they have rebuild kits with all the stuff to put together the engine. you might need to buy some special tools or an engine stand adapter if you want to use a engine stand to build it on.

i took my 88gxl trans to a trans shop with a bad 2nd gear synchro and 4th gear synchro for a full rebuild they quoted me almost 2000 in the car 1600 outside of it...
i wish i could charge someone 400 to take out their transmission :P
silly mechanics.

Pineapple Racing will rebuild it for around $400 plus any additional parts. Another rotary shop here in Tampa Bay will do it for around $600. You shouldn't be paying that much for a tranny rebuild.

You'll really need to tear the tranny down and see exactly what you need. I just took down an S4 trans that's lived a long hard life. The synchros were shot for sure but the dog teeth on the clutch hub sleeves and the gear faces were worn badly too. Don't do it half assed. Tear it down, see what's worn and replace everything that's not right. Don't want to do the work to only be pissed that it's still not right.

I destroyed another box earlier this year and priced all new parts through Mazdaspeed. I needed basically everything except cases and shift rods and clutch hubs. The price ran up to around $900. I decided to scrap it and use what was left for spare parts.
Just scanned through some fiche and a clutch hub sleeve will run you about $40. Fourth will run you $121, the rest of the gears about $80 give or take. They may all be in great shape...hope they are. But if they're worn, new synchros will be a waste of time and money. Tear it down first and inspect everything carefully. If the dog teeth are rounded off and not pointed I'd look for new ones.

Here are a couple pics to show you what you're looking at. The pics of the dog teeth are hard to get a idea of what they should and shouldn't look like but hopefully you get the idea. They should be pointed, the end making about a 80-90* angle with a fairly sharp point. If they're rounded scrap 'em.

Tools are the big thing. There are a couple specialty tools you should have. The big one is a HUGE socket. There is nut on the output shaft that requires a deepwell socket about 20-some inches DEEP. The tool is about $80 from Mazdaspeed. I bought a socket for $15 at Sears, bored a hole in the end large enough to slip it over the output shaft and welded a bar to it to use it as a wrench instead of a socket. Much cheaper. Other than that a bearing puller with long teeth on it. Again on the order of 20-some inches. Other than that it's no harder than building a motor. Take your time, measure everthing, keep it super clean, and use good parts. As with anything a FSM helps.
