I'm kinda bummed out. I got most of the parts needed to rebuild the V4AW2 transfer case, but some fairly critical ones are not available from Mitsubishi anymore.

The two biggest disappointments are the needle bearing that the new Aussie low speed gear rotates on, and the selectable snap ring that determines end play where the Aussie low speed gear mounts. So unless the Aussie low speed gear has EXACTLY the same dimensions as the original gear, there is going to be some slop--slop that causes accelerated wear of the needle bearing that is no longer available.

Any ideas on alternate sources for that needle bearing? You think it could be a common part that a bearing manufacturer might have in stock?

The other obsolete parts are the selectable snap rings to control end play of the input gear, the needle bearings under the drive sprocket (two required and it looks like I got the last one for sale in North America!), and the "as required" spacer I mentioned in item 7 in the post above.
