Exclamation Tranmission replacment needed ASAP!

Guys,
I really, really, really, need yer help.....PLEASE. I am seriously desperate and need to get this taken care of, like yesterday.

Basically, I lost my 5 speed manual tranmission in my 93 base.

I need to find either an OEM replacement (the dealer is killing me) or a really good recommendation on a heavy duty "rebuilt" (don't want to deal with it again).

The lower the price the better, but if I got to pay for the quality, then so be it.

Can anyone please shoot me some recommendations?
I am located in the middle of the country.
Please help......

Thanks in advance.....

Thanks again.

And the brand new transmission is worth every penny. Call Malloy Mazda at 1-888- 533-3400 and ask for Ray Crowe.

Talked to Ron, Resource (Hell of a nice guy).

That damn Tremco is going to be cheaper than the OEM!

Haven't solitified anything yet though, but it is looking good so far. Still got my ears open if anyone else runs into something BTW.

Thanks again Resource!

No problem, the TKO he was quoting you was a TKO. Very nice tranni. He can also do the T56 six speed transmission for you, it will be about 500 cheaper than the price Ron quoted you.

Seeya!

I had PFS install an OEM two months ago and its night and day. It feels like a different car, really smooth shifting. It has a MUCH stronger spring between 3rd & 5th and if I ever miss 3rd again I should turn in the car. Unless you plan on running 600HP I don't think the OEM tranny is a weak link.

Again, talk to Ray Crowe and see what he will ship you one for.
