I got one from http://rx7world.com/
It included a bunch of bearings, what appears to be all the syncros, and some seals. I can't vouch for its quality or completeness because it's still sitting in the box awaiting its turn at the top of the list of crap I need to take care of. The price seemed reasonable though.

How do you know it's not your shift forks that are causing grinding?
Tranny rebuild kits are generally not offered becuase there are too many parts that may or may not need to be replaced. You could spend a efw hundred $$ on a kit and then find out that you need a few hundred more in parts to make everything work properly making it more economical to buy a second used tranny and rebuilding that.

I got my turbo tranny rebuilt in May. The shop used a kit for a Ford Ranger for most of the parts. However, if you have an 86-87.5 turbo tranny you MUST order the 5th gear synchro from Mazda. We even had problems with the part numbers in the parts fiche floating around online. The tranny shop eventually figured it out, but they went through a number of different parts to get it right.

Here is the place that rebuilt my transmission:
Trans Medics Transmission Specialists
5211 Lacy Ave, Raleigh, NC 27609

I have no idea if they will help you or not, but they may be able to order you the rebuild kit they used on my car, or help you figure out how to get your hands on one. They are a local shop but they know their ****, they have rebuilt Rx-7 trannys before. Tell them you were referred by Raymond with the black 1988 Rx-7 turbo who got his tranny rebuilt back in the spring. They may or may not remember me, they may or may not help you, but it's worth a shot.

I just bought all my parts from mazda. If you don't have access to the mazda pullers and special tools it is a really big bitch to overhaul. It was the most difficult manual trans I've ever overhauled. (i've done about 10 different manuals). good luck.

I only paid about $500 for fifth gear, all blocker rings, fifth gear syncro hub, and seals. But I work for a jeep dealer own by the same people so that was at cost 10.
The biggest pain other than pulling the bearings is there are 4 housings held together by the same bolts and you have to install bearings and gears and pins while you have sealer drying.
