Richmond Gear has stop making the street race and road race transmissions so certain parts are unavailable. I'm looking for parts for the tranny to try and repair the leaks, the tranny works greeat with my set up and I really dont want to go to a top loader and the other 5 speed options would be diffcult to work with the gearing I have. The car has a FE428 with a 2.88 rearend and 26 1/5" tires, with the current tranny 5 gear (1-1) im turning 2250 rpms at 60 mph, with the 5 speed OD's and with the .81 5th gear the motor would turn at just over idle at 60 plus I would have to change the drive shaft and probably have to relocate the shifter slightly. I live on Long Island so if anyone knows where I can get parts would be greatly appreciated

I had mine rebuilt in 2019 and that included a new rear bushing and seal. I don't know where or how my transmission shop sourced them, but they were able to track them down at that time. I just checked the parts list in the manual and there are part numbers listed but, alas, no dimensions.
