I see ton of posts about repairing the A-drum, rebuilding the transmission, some as low as $200 for one post. But none that I seen actually ever mention where the parts came from. I know for sure, doing it for $200 or under, the parts sure as hell aint come from any dealership I know about. So assuming these parts didnt just fall out the sky and or magically appear in the garage the next day, who are some part suppliers for the a-drum, overhaul kits, and etc.
That is not shady of course, or those with the the call for price or have to wait for them to email ya. To me, sounds like they they either make the price up as they go or plan on pulling the switch and bait and either way I rather not waste time. If they have no time to post a price or the prices "vary" by that much, then I have no time to wait for an email or phone call.

Any experience with Ebay and good reputable sources on Ebay?

 

Try CTSC in California. They. Were very helpful, although not great at answering emails. I have the guys personal email if you need it. I bought the gaslet kit, filter and fluid from them. The drum and shifter valce was back ordered so I got those from Eurowa in Montreal. They were extremly helpful.
