I need some help. Few months ago my 93 wc t5 had issues. I found out it was the input race. No prob, ordered up a new one, but had problems getting the tail shaft back on. Long story short I fed it up and took it to the shop. Few hundred latter got it back. No reverse, grinding gears. Took it back, now reverse, no 5th, grinding gears. Took it back he called a week latter said nothing was wrong. He exchanged it for a trans I believe is nwc and geared way low. Even with 3.55s it turns 3200 at 70mph. So long story short it was grinding 3rd and 4th. He went on vaca for a month so I doubled clutched and no biggie. when he gets beck we decide to do a full rebuild on my original and no charge since it's his fault and I played the first time. I told him I would pay for parts. That was 6 weeks ago, he won't answer or return my calls, never at the shop or anything. Now I have no third or fourth, if I try it gets stuck. It's killing my clutch and I'm not too happy. So the morale to this ridiculously long question is where's the best place to get a synchro rebuild kit and a fork kit? gonna try to get my original trans back, when I bought the car he told me it was just rebuilt, it had new gears, me sychros and new forks. Everything other than 1st and 2nd synchro looked good when I took it apart. And second question, if I can't get my original back, how do I identify this one? Thanks.
