Best place to buy OEM parts??
Is Jim Ellis Mazda over price? or are the prices they list similar to the dealership. Are there any other places to find good prices on transmission parts??

I normally order from Rosenthal Mazda. Great service and selection.

I just use my local Mazda dealer. I buy enough that they have me down for a permanent 25% discount, I don't pay shipping, and they can usually get everything I've ever needed in 2 days.
And your building a personal relationship with a business for when you need a deal, a rush order, have a problem, etc.

A local dealership can be nice to deal with if they're close by, well-stocked, and not dicks. When I lived in Carlsbad, the local dealership never had the parts I wanted in stock, so not only was Rosenthal far cheaper, it didn't take much longer either.

I've had good success with Rosenthal as well. They usually have some crusty old parts guy answering the phone with a strong knowledge of the Miata. That's a big value-add if you need help figuring out the correct part that not all local places can provide.
