Define new. Most of the time you have to check the classifieds or hit ebay. When I look for something as such I go to car-part.com.

In your title you wrote "Performance Parts", what did you mean? Are you looking for a performance transmission?? You can always buy a used 5speed to build up while you rebuild the m/t.

Most of the parts I have found are from members on this site or my local Craigslist.

If you get really, really lucky you can pick up a parts car with a good trans for a few hundred, then part out the rest of it and get your money back or even make some. Scrap metal is really high right now, so people will either pay you some or haul away the remnants for free. If you are close to a scrap metal place, you can take it in yourself.

You definitely won't find a "new" transmission anywhere. You will need to find a used one. I highly doubt you could find a freshly rebuilt one -- you would still need to find a used one and have it rebuilt. VE 5-speeds are somewhat rare, so it's not like any transmission shop will have one lying around.

I have one but it needs to be rebuilt. No reverse (My spare for rainy day)

Full rebuild = brand new.

Supposedly. I'd rather do it myself that way I' assured that everything has been replace vs being told so and actually not in reality.
