Thomas, these aren't available often. It seems that a batch will be made
and then they are available for $$$ but only for a couple of months. I
don't see why a shop that does brake linings or clutch linings couldn't do
this, but the trouble is probably in finding the shop.

Subject: Overdrive Repair Question (with pictures)
I disassembled my broken overdrive and discovered the clutch lining on the
sliding member is broken. See pics here:

According to my Moss catalog, these are not available. I can't find my VB
catalog, but I thought I remember the price being ~$300 there. That's a
little too steep to swallow.
Are there any other repair options? Is the clutch material available? Is
this something an automatic transmission shop could repair?
Thank you,
