MT part numbers aren't completely accurate to the Mazda OE part numbers. But after dealing with it for years, it's pretty easy to know which numbers they add to keep thier sorting in line.

Seriously, Front gear and bearing, $110, rear gear and bearing, $140. Stock bearings $25, hardened multi window that you get with the renni, $55. Soooooooo basically $140 would've ended all this hassell.

I looked around and there weren't any gears for sale at the time I was buying parts. Got my bearings for $50 and having them pressed isn't going to be expensive at all. I saved $90 from your estimates

That and I"m keeping the rebuild as simple and close to OEM as possible. When my finances improve I'll pick up a core engine and look to build something more fun. Once I have the car up and running on a reliable engine that frees me up to risk trying mods and other dangerous science.
