Well I thought I had seen it in the DIY section, but this DIY description was actually in the general section:

I had the same problem, I ended up pulling the transmission and sent it to Gbox for a rebuild. While I had it out I went ahead and did the IMS retrofit and put a new Sachs Clutch Kit in. Cost for transmission rebuild (2nd gear syncro and some other parts replaced) was ~$3k with shipping both ways, that was a few years ago.

Ouch. 3k. I just picked up an extra trans that I wound up putting in for 600.00. Granted its a 5 speed but it had low miles and I knew the owner. Id source a used one.

Yeah, I still remember the sting lol. Maybe it was $2600 with shipping, not sure anymore and the receipt went with the car when I sold it. I hunted for a used 6 speed tranny for a few months without luck, when I did find them they were in the $2500 range, probably more out there now.

Gbox did do a very good job and Erik was great to deal with.

Yeah I found it by doing a search but thanks for the link. I'm afraid mine is past just doing the detent upgrade.
