as I said, I have assumed we will change 2nd & 3rd gear syncro rings and the input shaft seal. The full bearing set is almost $550 so we only change what is needed. The 1st, 4th and 5th gear syncros are often OK. They vary in price depending on the exact model but around $120 ea. If the 2nd gear hub or gear is damaged beyond repair, then they are about $660 pair. NO gearbox is cheap to repair and in your case, there is almost no choice apart from genuine Toyota parts.

I dont think there is anything more I can tell you on this matter till you bring me the car to test drive, or the box to repair.

All gears are less than perfect, so id definitely want all the syncro's replaced as a minimum. as far as i know the parts are relatively cheap, aren't they?

it takes 11 hours to remove the box, strip it, refit 1 or 2 syncro rings and then reassemble and refit. This is the $1000 end of the budget costs, and the most common. More damage however, is then more cost. Most of the cost is labour, so we try to fix anything that looks a bit sad.

gearbox jobs can be anything in the $1500-$3000 range, drive in-drive out. it very much depends on how much harm has been done by driving with crappy 2nd gear syncros.

Hey just wondering if you guys fo gearbox rebuilds? My clutch soon needs replacing and my syncros are on the way out too. Anyhow what im planning to do is take the gearbox out and get it rebuilt with new syncros/bearings/seals etc. and also fit a new heavy duty clutch(supplied by me) while the box is out.

My car is a 1990 sw20 gen2 3sgte - what kind of price range am i looking at with parts, labor etc.
Planning on gettinh the work done in the next couple of months, when i get my tax cheque back.

Cheers,
dan
