I've have mine rebuild and he uprated the bearing and made a few modifications, one was to the reverse gear to make to go in easier? Common problem so I'm told? Anyway 5th is a nightmare to get off, so make sure whoever you take it too has the correct pulley or has made a proper one up or it will just break and they are like gold dust.

Mine was whining it's tits off and all it need was bearings, 5th syncro, seals and some other little bits that I don't know what they are called. The guy john who done mine said its good for 450 - 500 bhp. I paid 240 plus the syncro.
