HELP! Where to buy pinion shaft crush sleeve?!?!

I need help. I recently put new bearings on my pinion shaft but need a new crush sleeve...

I have read plenty of posts here about diff rebuilds that tell you just to "get a new one" and that they are cheap but every place I call, NAPA, Mazda dealer, machine shop all throw their hands up.

Where can I find one??? Is it the same as another car? I reading our diffs are the same as a ford 8". Can I get a crush sleeve for that?

car is an 84 gsl-se

Help me rx7 club... you are my only hope.

Mazda calls it a distance piece, but the parts guy should have been able to figure it out,

0305-27-171 list price is $14.34... at Mazda, and they have tons, well 70

funny you should say that the mazda parts guy specifically told me he wouldn't even be able to search it because mazda uses crazy names or things...
