After goin to the dealer myself and getting the # number, I was told the same crap (nothin nowhere in Canada, 5-10 business days for delivery). Also, they could Fedex it here, but it would have cost about same price as the part for shipping (85$ + 85$ for a stupid little metal piece, thats ridiculous). They said the rates for shipping were special ones because it was being shipped in "emergency"

So my boss had some contact, he called a local scrapyard and ask him if he could do something. I then went there and looked over a Sunfire 2001 manual transmission. The damn piece was there and looked really similar to the other one, so I took it for 35$ (maybe a bit expensive, but looking back at the new dealer's price, I figured it was ok)

Went back to the garage and finally it fit properly

So instead of having to pay around 170 bucks for the piece + 45 for installation, I ended up paying 80$ total.

I have the old piece, it's really weird how and where it broke. I'll try to post a pic (I know I say that often, but i gotta borrow a camera)
