Am I to presume that you are inquiring as to where to find these parts for cheap? Presuming you or someone you know (not the dealership) is providing labor?

It is possible to post without any degree of sarcasm.

I am doing the rebuild myself. I already have it apart, and I just need parts. I can get what I need at Mazda but they don't sell rebuild kits. I would have to buy the parts individually, which cost a shitload. Does Pineapple Racing sell rebuild kits/parts?

The guy at Mazda told me today synchronizers are $216 a piece and all the bearings are $359, which is alot higher than I thought it should be.
