Try these guys,

They quoted me $1k for a reco exchange rb20 gearbox.

Had the same problem as you.

I got a quote awhile back....around $1800

Believe it was Trans, gears and diffs. in Thomastown.

Drive in and leave for 3 days.

I found out I could prolong the life of the syncros by using Lightweight Shockproof.

Bursons sell it for around $120....change gear oil wait for around 500k's and presto...lol....no more problem.

20 thousand k's later and still going strong.

Highly recommend this to anyone who is having troubles with their boxes......

^ yep, hoping a switch to Lightweight will help with my 5th gear synchro issues

The lightweight shockproof did sweet f**k all for my box, to engage the gears I just smash them in if they dont want to go in easily.

Is your car highly modified? If it is dont bother rebuilding it as you have a high chance of breaking it anyway. If not go right ahead.

Maybe see if you can find a S/H 33 box. Theyre newer and have less chance of being rooted. Still cheaper than a rebuild.

Im happy to just keep buying cheap S/H boxes as I break them 2nd box and counting!
