Rebuilding a manual tranny is actually pretty easy if you're pretty good at mechanical stuff. Especially a RWD tranny. But if you don't have the time, money(for parts), or know-how then just buy a new one like they said. The hardest part for me is keeping track of the damn little detent balls. It's good to have one of those little magnetic dishes around. The only thing you would need to replace (assuming everything wore like it was supposed to) is the 'blocking ring' or I think my FSM calls them 'baulking rings' , anyways, those are the things that get shoved by little inserts onto a cone shaped part of the speed gear. They are usually made of a lot softer material than the speed gear and that is what is supposed to wear.
