Where did you buy the bike originally? Pacific is a "department store" brand these days and you probably can't get a replacement fork that won't cost more than the entire bike did.

I'd second that. Most forks you can get at an LBS (Local Bike Shop) are going to run upwards of $200. If indeed your Pacific is the department store brand, you could go get another one for cheaper. I'd actually consider going to a Local Bike Shop and getting an entry level Giant, Trek, KHS, K2 or other reputable LBS brand. You'd get high quality for between 2 and 3 hundred dollars.
