Default Finding parts for a T56 rebuild, why so tough?

I'm doing a rebuild on my c5 corvette T-56 transmission and I am trying to locate parts but it is seeming to be an issue.
What I'm looking for:

All syncros
Reverse Gear
3/4 Synco Assembly
Reverse Syncro Assembly
Fork inserts
5th Gear
Bearing Kit

Does anyone know of a vendor or anyone else who would carry these items?

Thanks for any help, I've been browsing and calling every corvette store I can. The corvette forum is pretty much a joke, as no one there even knows how to pull a transmission, let alone rebuild one.

Try tick performance, d&d performance, and the gearbox, also hawks third gen parts.

Tremec has really dropped the ball on production for T56 related parts leading some of us to take the ball and run with it developing after market parts for the unit which are hitting the market as I type this out. Expect even more things to come..... its been done out of necessity because trust me, it wasn't cheap to have done.

This is very true.. I have someone local who has begun to manufacture parts for these units and are currently in vehicle being tested (used and abused).
