But you can also just dive in and slap in new synchros in your home garage.
I'm sure you've already youtubed it, but for an example of a pro rebuild:

vs. a home rebuild. Note that he still used a press! I don't think you can do it without a press. Also note that both he and the pro ended up having to order parts from the UAE, so it's not a weekend job.

If you're good at 3d shape puzzles a manual transmission is straightforward. |
Transmission was making noise in neutral when the clutch wasn't in. So I pulled it thinking it was the throw out bearing or pilot bearing but its not. also, when I drained the transmission there was a little metal color to the fluid. So I was thinking it has to be a bearing on one of the shafts.
