I would assume that would be none to cheap...

Why dont you try cheaper alternatives like a new bushing kit, or switching to REDLINE synthetic Gear Oil... that will help like crazy...

A fluid change might be all you need...I don't think all the synchros would go at once. The parts are really cheap...it's the labor that will kill you. It's normally around $350 just to take a tranny out of a car and take it apart. (maybe that's just in FWD. My MX-7 tranny was the only one I ever had rebuilt) Like Rx7-88na said, be sure to use redline fluids. I've heard the most success stories about it.

Red Line

I switched over to Red Line transmission fluid. Made a noticeable difference right away. My 3rd gear synchro was the worst, and after switching I could downshift into 3rd without making terrible noises.

After a week or so I noticed that everything got even smoother, not perfect or anything, but definetly much better in all gears.

Highly recomended

Mobil 1

the only complaints I've heard about being too slick is from Mobil 1, or similar. Red Line advertises that has balanced viscousity or something.

to change you need like 4 quarts of the stuff, and a pump to get it in. all and all it probably costs less the $40, depending on where you get your oil from. And takes an hour, maybe.

very worthwhile

You can get Redline Gear Oil from summitracing.com it cost about 8 bux a quart... your tranny is 2.6 quarts capacity so you need to buy three quarts, and... its MT-90 Redling Gear Oil..

I hope that helps...
