This thread was made just in time, since I damaged my 4th transmission. I have no more TII trannys left so a rebuild is in order. So far I have two of my old trannys apart. The S5 TII I just pulled from the car has a damaged 5th and reverse clutch, and the previous transmission I had in the car (S4 TII) has both synchros on the 5th and reverse clutch broke in half!

I just made my gear/bearing puller from some steel stock I purchased from Lowes, now I'm working on a way to remove the nut on the output shaft (rather than using a chisel like I did when I removed it).

That may be true but I swear I measured 40 or 41mm, I'll have to double check. I was thinking of using a crowfoot wrench and extension to remove this nut (if it'll fit in there, will check later). like this:
edit: Crowsfoot wont work on the 41mm nut, tried it the other day.

After reading this I'm thinking of ditching the crowfoot wrench idea and just buy a socket, chop it in half and weld it to a pipe. Better idea since it doubles as an installer as well.
I went to Mazda when I got off work yesterday morning and picked the guys brain on the parts I needed. Apparently all Mazda dealerships worldwide are liked together and when he looked up the 5th and reverse clutch, he said there were only 7 left! Hell, i need 2! so when they're out, they are out! There must be a cross somewhere to another manufacturer because if I need a pair for two different transmissions then its gotta be a common issue. He even said that it may not be available even though the system displayed 7 available, so I'm crossing my fingers
