    If you know what you're doing, and the box has done over 300,000km it doesn't hurt to throw in a new set of bearings as preventative maintenance.
    Based on a box not showing any signs of problem or wear -
    Look for wear in the 4th to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd syncro rings, collapsed springs/wear in the selector detent mechanism, and wear on the teeth of the small gear in 5th gear set.
    Bearings and seals will take care of the rest.
    "Can't" is a dirty 4 letter word.
    Best way to deal with a "Can't" is to chop off the "t" and brew it in boiled water for a few minutes.
    Sip on the "t", and consider what you've got left to work with

    If you decide to open it, go for full overhaul.

    Overhaul kit is over $500. I reckon it's worth getting it done by a professional by adding another $500, unless we
    are happy to spend time on doing and learning.

    Do you know a place gearbox parts like synchro rings, bearings, gears, etc can be bought individually, rather than buying a kit with many parts that don't need replacing?!
