Do any of our sponsors offer JDM transmissions? or does anyone have a good recomendable source? I had a place in Canada but cant get a hold of them, My trans does not like to shift out of 1st when the weather is cold, the fluid gets flushed once a year and still looks great with no burnt smell, once it warms up it shifts fine.

And they have sat around for year rotting [seals] after being pulled from the cars. One thing to buy a JDM manual transmission, automatics are another case. But that applies to ones sitting in domestic junkyards also.

If your swap labor is cheap enough [5 hours for the experienced with lift and transmission jack] may be worth taking a gamble.
