Default Input Shaft

I am in the process of having the T56 in my 99 Trans Am rebuilt and it needs an input shaft. The pilot bearing let go which damaged the input shaft, does anybody know where I can get one new or used? The shop cannot seem to locate one, and I have had no luck as well. Any help would be appreciated.

I have one coming in sometime early this week thanks to a forum member, but thanks for everyone's input.

One more quick question, I installed a new pilot bearing today and used the hammer and 1/2 inch socket extension method to drive it in, using this method beat the outside of the bearing up pretty good, I stuck my finger inside and the bearing seems to spin fine. Just curious if it you guys think it will be ok to move forward as it is or if I should replace it.
