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.

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?!
