Help Finding a new trans? Options

[bdog_v]

Well I have come to the conclusion that the synchro is shot for third gear. I can still drive it but would like to develop a plan for how I will fix this: I would like some ideas or good places to hunt for a used 5 speed trans.
First I plan on trying synchromesh oil first but I doubt that will fix the problem so......It is a 94 gt 2.2 liter 5 speed celica.....

-1st idea replace only 3rd gear synchro, problem looks too complicated to do myself, but I have rebuilt an chyrsler 727 automatic trans with success so who knows???? *?What would a shop charge to do this if I pulled the trans myself???


-2nd idea get a used 5 speed trans. with low miles on it.. This can't be all that easy to find.
Where would one look for this??? Any good junkyards to call??? I am worried that someone will claim it
is low miles and I'll put it in only to have the same problem.... So I'd like a guarantee that its in good shape
or something like a warranty... Any ideas what one is worth???


-3rd idea is what different vehicles have the same transmission as the 94 gt celica 2.2 liter. That way I can ask the junkyards for a few different vehicles and improve my chances of finding a good one. Also I just installed a brand new centerforce clutch so I don't want to have to use a different clutch setup....



THanks....

It'll probably be cheaper to just replace the synchro thats bad. First try the synchromesh, then if that doesnt help then try a new synchro and see if its any better.

If you ever need a tranny, motor, etc......the best place to look for parts is www.car-part.com.
