source of parts for tranny rebuild?

What's a good source for parts in a tranny rebuild. Just looking for future reference. I have a S4 TII tranny if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Greg

I'm more concerned with not replacing it again. I'm at the point where I really want to know that everything is good in it.

Amen, but its going to cost you. Im not sure where to get the parts from. The dealership will rape you, but may be your only choice. Try Mazdatrix, im not sure if they have internal transmission parts or not, but they might. Good luck.

Mazdatrix doesn't have anything. I won't do factory stuff, it just isn't worth it. Maybe I can only do the used thing. Damn. Thanks

Have it professionally rebuilt by someone who knows what they are doing and has ALL the PROPER tools, Jigs and shims to set-it up right. Talk to ROB at Pineapple Racing. 1-503-233-3878
