I have taken out my gearbox and it's away getting a new 5th gear kit and the syncro's replaced. I was just wondering what i should be replacing/upgrading while this is out? So far i have already bought the following:(Ebay)(Sbits)(Blueprint) They are stronger than Rev 1+2... i handed the box to a gearbox specialist, i'll ask to see if he's replaced them with rev 3 ones, i doubt it though. Didn't realise ther was a difference tbh. I'm not constantly hammering it so it shouldn't make to much of a difference. I'll find out. anymore suggestions are welcome. or an lsd i spose. flush it through and put all new fluid in there. the one i just finished doing had what looked like marmite in the fluid!! dont think it had ever been changed. i've been looking for a lightweight flywheel but they're so expensive! Have toyed with the idea of getting a mate to take some weight off my current flywheel but i'ma bit scared that i'll ruin it! Will defo change the clutch fluid now after waht you've just said! Where would be the best place to get some ARB poly bushes? twosrus? be a safety factor on the flywheel what it is I have no idea. You will be able to take some material off but you would have to do all the enginering first its not just a case of cuts bits poff here and there etc. a lightened one or leave your stockie alone don't try and lighten yours. I'll leave the flywheel for now. i'll just need to bite the bullet to take the gearbox out again when i can afford it! Cheers for all the help guys 
Im thinking of getting a new gearbox for my car but have also thought about just taking my old box (it still works fine) to a gearbox specialist for them to check/replace any worn parts??£600+ depending on how much needs replacing and the garage's prices£270 that included a new 5th gear hub kit all seals and glands, and a new 2nd gear syncro. not bad but i had to wait a while for parts! depends where you go i suppose.. but aren't easy to find...
