hey guys im in the process of rebuilding my transmission but want to know wheres the best place to get a rebuild kit for the 5spd. Thanks

 

o yea.. i searched but didnt find much on exact prices and best place to get them

 

www.gttransmissions.com.

Call them - they have a synchro and seal kit, and a synchro/seal/bearing kit. However, I can't say I've used them. (jdtotherescue has I think). In any case, they are cheaper than the Mazda parts by maybe 40%.

If you need new gears though (common to see wear on the bearing faces of the shafts) you're SOL and will need to buy them from Mazda. At a couple hundred per piece, it's very easy for the budget to exceed the price of a low-mileage used tranny.

hey man, first let me say Props to you man, ur writeup rocks and is exactly what im looking at to learn the transmission and stufff since my actual transmission is being rebuilt for free by a friend( he does it for a living so id trust him better then i do myself). I will only need the synchro seals and bearings.

But yea that site is the only one i found through searching but was just looking for any other suggestions. Thanks Dave

 

Dave is the tranny man !

Soon I will know if my 5th gear syncro replacement was boom or bust !

(after my LS7 swap of course)

Have a sense of humor, people !
