i was talking to dave about my busted trans and the idea came up to open my trans and try and replace the shift fork in our garage using the instructions on VFAQ on how to rebuild a trans. i figure hell what is the worst thing that could happen... loose a gear? does anyone know where i could find a shift fork or other trans parts if i open it up and discover that more is damaged? if it is totally blasted i will buy a new one and have this one rebuilt with what i want in it.
if anyone on here has ever worked inside a transmission and they want to give turbo tension and i hand i will supply the beer. --------------------  |

I've had the trans apart on the 3g twice now. Once in July to change the gear set to the GTS gearset (shorter gearing and syncros with less miles on them), and another time around Vicary Day when the diff lost a couple teeth (wife launching the car). I have the FSM so the work wasn't that bad. It was just time consuming.
Even though the DSM trans has extra shaft inside of it, I would think rebuilding them would be very similar. I have also read and heard great things about TRE.
