I always thought there was an actual gearbox rebuild kit for the manual box, and it cost 160 from coz. But I havent been able to find it. Is there a kit with whatever gaskets and syncros you need? Or do we just buy the syncros separately now? What does anyone else use when rebuilding a box?
List price from Nissan is between $140-$160AUD. Coz price in USD plus freight, might be the same might be less. In any case you're not getting synchros, baulk rings and gaskets for $160.
That sounds about right then.. no idea what I remember seeing then. But if I get someone else to do it I was expecting around the 1500 mark.
