I'm not surprised they had no luck tracking down a trans via the junkyard network - the NEWEST Swift is now 19 years old. They don't keep around little econobox cars that old.

You'd have better luck finding someone local who has a parts car. Post a want ad on craigslist. Ask on Geometroforum.

I have a couple of spare ones, but shipping from Canada would be stupid expensive... buy local!
