For what it's worth, several years ago, when I was rebuilding everything in
my spit, I swapped out the standard trans for a D type OD that I managed to
find locally (which then meant LA), but I also found that Quantum Mechanics
had at least one that he was willing to sell me. While I didn't end up
buying from Quantum Mechanics, I know that I've seen several other listers
mention them with a certain degree of approval. You guys might want to try
them. I no longer have the contact info, though . . .
