Does anybody know where to get a front bearing retainer for a Turbo Coupe T5?

So we recently took the transmission out of my Turbo Coupe and the front bearing retainer on the transmission is worn out.  I ordered a steel retainer for a V8 model and took it to a machine shop, but there isn't enough material to maintain the structural integrity after doing the machine work.  Now we're on the hunt for a retainer and are having trouble finding one.  Does anybody on here know where to look?  I'll be flying out of the country in 2 weeks so I don't have a whole ton of time :( .  Thanks for your time.

I don't think there was a steel version of the 4cyl retainer...

They've been out of production for several years, good luck...

Stang8u, the main way to tell the difference is by flipping it over.



The one on the left is the TC retainer, and you can see that the ring has a thinner wall.

88turbo - what kind of shape is it in?

No problem, thanks!  We'll reuse my old one for now, if necessary.
