Leons just redid my gearbox. U2U me for detail on cost (can't remember, best to ring and get a quote)
they do a std rebuild i thnk wihich is basically a rebuild of all parts,and new synchro, if you need new gears, diff's or any other non standard
parts thats extra...........
I have no sympathy for my car, only the wallet that pays for it!

Unless you want some thing special or have a special motor the best/economical solution is another 2nd hand box.
An IRS box either 3.88 or 4.38 can be bought for $150 - $250.
You will pay more than this for a rebuild

I had my SSP tranny ovehauled by Lawrence at German Autos in Geebung.
New reverse gear
gaskets
seals
used 4th gear set from kombi
labour (dismantle, clean, facing off selector housing)
All for less than $800. Lawrence does heaps of buggy boxes and knows his stuff. He came highly recommended to me.
