Factory parts are best. Like mentioned ^^^, you can't buy just second. Your best bet probably is to pull the tranny yourself, send it out, have it fixed up and re-install it. You can put a new clutch in then too. Or, if you can't afford the downtime, buy a used tranny and swap them. Lots of guys have done it, it's not the end of the world.
