Jeff,

Try Western Hills Honda http://www.westernhillshonda.com or look on Ebay. There are some vintage Honda parts still available new from any Honda dealer though I suspect most tranny parts are no longer in stock.

Good luck,

Loren

Western Hills Honda is very good for finding discontinued parts. However if they don't have something you are looking for try http://www.cmsnl.com. The prices are in Euros so be sitting down, and you will need the part #.

I have some used MT250 trannies. You need the output shaft at the very least. You will need to split the cases so I would do the seals and bearings while I had it apart. Email is mailto:elsinorestuff@qwest.net
