Well I actually contacted a few people.

Jacks
Shep
TRE


Jackstranssmission was the first to get back to me but had to get a price
Shep was the first to get me a price
TRE... (crickets)...

Price range from all 3 was from 150-200 I am not going to give you an exact price I will let them quote you on that.

Subscribed nice thread going on here.

Was just having a discussion w/ Dave W. a local DSM guy that rebuilds a bunch of DSM trannies so i asked him about the Evo trans and he said it shouldn't be too diff.

I'll link him over to this thread but i wanted to subscribe incase a how-to was posted.

By the way to the OP when you say you found what was causing the "noises".........what kinda noises where you hearing?

I was hearing a clicking noise at low speed that was wheel speed driven not engine RPM driven. I was also getting a low speed howl. The howl is almost non-existent and the clicking is now gone.

I will post some pictures up from the FSM

I ended up ordering my parts from Dan Buschur. Mostly because they answered the phone every time I called and were able to get me prices literally minutes after I called. Dan was also nice enough to suggest some pieces that were missing from my list. A little bit of upsell was had, but only in good nature.

TRE answered and said they would get back to me with a price... one week later... crickets.
Shep wouldn't sell me the parts
I did not call JacksTransmissions. I don't do well with email only communication.
