Hey Guys,

I've been rolling my Asti round for the last 8 years now with the GT-X motor and having little to no problems. But she is getting pretty tired and so I am soon to give her some much needed attention.
1st things 1st, the tranny is getting refreshed. The box in her is the standard G5M-R and has like 280,000kms on it.
I have a spare G5M-R gearbox with far less ks that I have been planning to rebuild. About a year ago, I was sure that I had seen rebuild kits available for the box on ebay. However I no longer can see them???
So a few questions:
Does anybody know where I can get a rebuild kit for one of these gboxes?
Specifically what is in the rebuild kit? Synchros, seals, bearings etc??
Has anybody rebuilt one of these themselves? What are the gotchas?

Hopefully our combined knowledge can get me the answers that I need!

Cheers,
Jeremy
