These 6 speed boxes are quite troublesome especially if tracked. Some of the needle bearing cages are plastic! I had no idea how hot the oil got when on the track (ignorance is bliss) until I started monitoring the gear oil temp. Before I improved the cooling with a ducted fan, even with a pump and small radiator, the temps often exceeded 260 degrees. After spending close to 8K for a rebuild, I sourced a low mile box for a spare.
