I'm repairing my 6 speed trans and was hoping to get some help from EKTA folks.

Labor helps, but also my views on manual trans repair help too.
I don't just go in and replace all friction surfaces (synchros) on a trans. The ONLY complaint I have is the second gear slider and that will be the only part of the trans I will be working on. It looks like now the only parts I will be replacing are the bearing housing gasket and the 2nd gear synchro ($67.00). The other two parts can be repaired to my satisfaction.

i'm sure they just replace the bad parts with new parts...
...but we're talking about instead of rebuilding or servicing a tranny, to just replace it with another used one. No guaruntee how long it will last, or if it will be problem free, but the labor is less then rebuilding it.

*Update* I fixed it with my grinder.
I'm not going to replace any parts now. The slider works very smoothly, and I don't have to replace the brass synchro. It has a moly coating that looks like well... **** and gives one the impression of galled metal, but that is the way it's supposed to look.
I will take some more pics and make a writeup later, but I don't recommend anyone do this unless you have manual trans repair experience and major cojones to boot.
Again, thanks to everyone who has helped so far.
