Norris is a respected tuner, give him a bell and ask whats up with it and why it needs a rebuild.

He will tell you why and why its justified to get it rebuilt....he wouldnt suggest it if it wasn't required.

It might have only covered 45k mate but its getting old now if its the original box from the car.

Might not be to do with mileage but how the car is driven. Does you mate slam through the cogs beating the synchros or anything?

Well I would 100% trust Karls judgement, he diagnosed the problem with my car I followed his advise to the letter and have a better car because of it. I was getting fed up with it to be honest until I took his advice.
