Synchros shot? Weird noises while shifting? Not sure what needs to be replaced?

Most of us are familiar with http://www.car-part.com for its junkyard search that lets you find the part you need in a huge network of "used auto parts" and "auto salvage" yards.

Besides sometimes not finding the part, one major dissatisfaction I've had with it has been its search function. They do also have a multi-part search:
http://car-part.com/advSearch.htm
and a range search
http://car-part.com/noninterchange.htm
as well as "search by image" (which is pretty cool once you realize they have sections for engine, undercarriage, interior, etc in addition to the exterior)
http://car-part.com/outside/multi.htm

However, I've found another, similar site that may search a different network.
http://www.mypartshop.com
It doesn't play well with Firefox and doesn't run in Opera at all. Its search is more pleasant than car-part's is. Its results list and sorting are also superior.

Edit: Just found another one, this one's kinda lame though.
